You Won’t Believe How Cruel An Empath Can Be When He’s Angry With A Narcissist
First, the empath stops seeing the narcissist as a victim. They start seeing them for what they truly are: a predator. All empaths often enter these relationships believing they are rescuing someone. They see the narcissist’s wounds, their trauma, their deep insecurities, and they want to help. They want to heal them. It’s the rescuer complex—a pattern empaths often fall into, especially if they grew up in a dysfunctional environment. They believe they can save someone with enough love, understanding, and care.
But there comes a breaking point when the empath finally wakes up. They realize the truth: the narcissist isn’t a broken soul needing to be saved; they’re a manipulator. The empath sees this now. The truth is clear. From that moment on, they no longer see the narcissist as someone to be healed. They see them for what they truly are: someone who has chosen to harm rather than to heal.
Second, the empath stops feeding the narcissist’s ego, and that terrifies them. Narcissists feed on admiration, validation, and emotional reactions. They crave it like oxygen. Whether it’s praise, resistance, or even anger, they feed off any kind of emotional response. But when the empath becomes truly angry, when they stop feeling the need to justify themselves, to defend their feelings, or to explain away the narcissist’s behavior, they simply withdraw.
They disengage. They set boundaries so firm that they become unshakable. No more conversations, no more apologies, no more trying to fix things. For the narcissist, this is the worst possible scenario because they fear nothing more than being ignored. Being forgotten is a fate worse than being hated. They would rather be despised than be irrelevant. But now the empath has done something the narcissist could never prepare for: they’ve stopped giving them anything to feed on. And now, the silence is unbearable.
Third, the empath starts to expose the truth. Why? Quietly, with laser-sharp precision. Once the empath sees through the narcissist’s games, they no longer feel the need to protect their image. For so long, they stayed silent, shielding the narcissist from consequences. But not anymore. Now they speak up—not out of vengeance, but with clarity. They share their story. They warn others. They speak the truth. They expose the manipulation, the tactics, the lies.
The empath’s power becomes most visible here. They have seen the narcissist’s tricks up close. They felt the manipulation in their bones, and now they’re using that knowledge to tear down the narcissist’s facade piece by piece. It’s not cruelty; it’s awakening. It’s reclaiming power.
