Number two, they often have a core identity and high levels of self-worth.
Super empaths have high levels of self-esteem, self-worth, and a strong sense of identity. If you’ve ever wondered why having a good sense of self is important because it is a bit of an abstract concept, here’s a perfect example. Gaslighting is a common manipulation tactic used by narcissists. The term is derived from the 1944 film titled “Gaslighting” and revolves around a married couple.
Slowly, the wife starts believing she’s insane and loses sight of who she is. Meanwhile, the husband is repeatedly dimming the gas lanterns and telling his wife she’s hallucinating when she comments on the changing lights. Eventually, she’s driven into insanity. So, how could a strong sense of identity have helped the wife in the classic movie? Well, if she had high self-esteem and knew exactly who she was, do you think she would have believed she was hallucinating?
She probably would have looked back on her life and thought of all the times she hallucinated, noticing it was zero, and told her husband to fix the lights because he’s the crazy one for not noticing. A super empath with high self-esteem knows their worth and doesn’t forget who they are, even when someone is telling them they’re wrong or crazy. Instead, they might drive the narcissist crazy, sometimes making them a conquest. Their empathy makes them perfect for giving the attention they crave, and their self-esteem makes them both attractive, enviable, and unattainable.
