Narcissists are great at controlling and manipulating empaths but... they can only do that when an Empath is in denial of expressing their intuition and their real feelings and emotions. By real, I don’t mean AFTER one has already been activated or triggered, I mean at the first HINT that something doesn’t smell right or add up. If the Empath asks direct questions and challenges the Narcissists INTENT, then any attack or control is foiled. Of course, the Narcissist will try other tactics, but again... speaking your truth, your intuition, feelings and emotions, will set you free. It’s easy to do this with a stranger, but far more difficult when the Narcissist is in a close relationship with you.
Narcissists FEED off the ENERGY of others. And when an Empath is in denial. they open themselves to have others feed off them. This is why Empaths often feel DRAINED. Narcissists are great ACTORS, and can play any emotion at the drop of a hat. Alligator tears, anger and rage, terror, you name it..
The other thing is that you can't "feel" their emotions as they haven't any, it's an act, and so that creates DOUBT in your mind that your intuition and feelings are accurate. Your intuition could feel that something was not right... was unloving, and told your mind that, but now the emotional act the Narcissist puts on is confusing your mind. If the mind negates its intuition and feelings and gives the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT to the Narcissist, it's game over.
