Empaths attract narcissists because narcissists test their boundaries repeatedly, forcing empaths to develop personal power and learn to maintain their own frame instead of over-tuning to others' energy. Breaking the pattern means passing these boundary tests.
People that can feel other people's energies tend to attract narcissists, and one of the reasons is to learn certain lessons. The empath gets to learn from the narcissist how to step into their own power, how to step into their own frame. The narcissist will constantly test the boundaries of the empath, and the key is when you start learning how to be in your own frame of reality, how to be safe inside of your own body, and you stop tuning to this person over here, you start to pass the test.
