Why Narcissists Are OBSESSED With Empaths! (The Shocking Truth!)

“What if I just love them enough? Won’t they change?” If you’re an empath, you’ve probably asked yourself this question more times than you can count. You focus on a person’s potential, not their actions, which makes it hard to leave, even in a toxic relationship. Narcissists take full advantage of this by showing glimpses of vulnerability or faking remorse—just enough to keep you hooked. Dr. Sheri Campbell, psychologist and author of But It’s Your Family, explains that empaths often believe they can love someone into healing. The problem is that narcissists don’t want to heal; they thrive on control. As long as you believe in their potential, they’ll keep feeding you empty promises to string you along. This belief in redemption isn’t a weakness; it’s a beautiful trait, but only when given to people who want to grow. A narcissist sees your faith in them as an opportunity, not as a reason to change. You can’t fix someone who doesn’t see themselves as broken. The only person you can save in this situation is yourself, and that starts by realizing that love isn’t about sacrificing yourself for someone who refuses to meet you halfway.
