Empaths drawn to narcissists seek validation by giving of themselves, while narcissists have a strong sense of self empaths lack. The narcissist's tests force the empath to build boundaries and recognize they need a solid identity of their own.
Do empaths ever attract narcissists? There's actually something to learn from narcissism, by the way. The thing that a narcissist does that attracts an empath is an empath wants to give themselves, wants to tune themselves, give themselves to then get the validation, the approval, and the safety of something on the external. Then on the other side of the spectrum, you have that of a narcissist who's on the toxic side of feeling in their self. What they do is they will manipulate everyone else around them to get their own needs met. And what happens is then they are actually in a strong sense of self even though it's toxic. But the empath over here doesn't really even have a strong sense of self. So empaths attract narcissists to learn something from them, to learn how to be in their own sense of self. And the narcissist will constantly test the empath until they get the lesson. And sometimes the lesson is no more, I'm out.
If you can see this, you're about to become so magnetic you are unrecognizable
