Empathy, compassion, and spiritual inclinations.
High empathy is often one of the first qualities that initially draws a narcissistic or psychopathic person to you.
you’ve got the option to practice compassion from a distance.
Resilience and grit.
Use your resilience and grit to exit the toxic relationship and become victorious during your journey to freedom instead.
A need for excitement and challenge.
Success and beauty.
Both narcissists and psychopaths often seek out successful, high-achieving, attractive people.
This is because they want to surround themselves with people they deem special and unique.
This is especially common with parasitic psychopaths who target wealthy or financially stable partners to exploit.
At the same time, they will be pathologically envious of your success and beauty.
When you are a perfectionist, you are hyperattuned to criticism and any micro-signals of disapproval or potential abandonment.
Being over-perfectionistic can stem from childhood trauma or anxiety in general.
This may cause you to go overboard in cooking an even more lavish meal for them next time.
If not, its time to prepare for detachment and a safe exit.
If you are dealing with a narcissistic or otherwise toxic individual, its important to seek trauma-informed professional support.
You deserve better than a toxic relationship.
You deserve freedom and healing.
