Empaths absorb others' emotions and stay in toxic relationships to avoid conflict, constantly trying to fix people instead of setting boundaries. Their people-pleasing reinforces the cycle, though boundaries ultimately reduce the strain they carry.
People that are empaths that can feel other people's energies that tend to attract narcissists, as many times they are conflict avoidant, and that's why they stay with them so long. Because even though there's conflict in the dynamic, it's of more conflict to leave the dynamic than it is to just stay in the slow poison drip of energy. It would be more pain to do that than it would be to just pretend I'm naive and I don't know what's going on. People pleasers, people that are trying to fix other people, they are afraid of tension. In order to ease your tension, I'm gonna please you, and if I please you, you won't have tension, and your tension is my tension because I can feel your energy. And what you do is you carry it around with you everywhere versus learning to set boundaries or to stand up for yourself, which will cause more of a jolt in the beginning, but then a long period of not having to deal with that tension underneath the surface. You could say on one hand you are conflict avoidant. On the other hand, you could say that you love conflict.
