Empaths

Warm, reliable, present, attached, comforting, nurturing, virtuous, fabulous, gifted, talented, and blessed. You all embody traits that keep millions of people alive, well, and healthy. You are the branch and the olive. You saved my life. I was just hard-headed.

Your grandmother and mother were probably empaths. I believe empaths of today were made, groomed, or even forced into their current role because of how the women before them were forced into an empath role by societal norms: men being called to war, chauvinistic men, or docile and subservient women.

Narcissists specialize in creating doubt, because they are always doubting themselves, and no one knows. Doubt is a very hard pill to swallow for high-functioning narcissists. They enjoy fairytales— most people call them lies, but not a narcissist—fairytales are real to them. This is why they avoid being confronted by a lie they were caught in. As I created and then accepted the person who I built after my childhood, I overdid it. My mind had become conditioned to do wrong, to use, hurt, and mislead. Regardless of how aligned y
