At times I may tend to brag about being an empath, but it is only because of the joy of self discovery and understanding. It’s not the greatest thing to discover about yourself but I’d wouldn’t judge strong empathetic ability as a liability or say it’s my disability. But I have no doubt in my mind that it is a direct result of my social anxiety which is a liability. But fully understanding my abilities and my SA has made me more aware of everything that has happened in the past and everything that is happening in this moment. I’ve been able to understand what it is to be an empath and know how to control/prevent my anxiety. Which is the best of both worlds.

However, I am really challenged when it comes to my narcissist mother. I hate the way she raised me, I hate how she treated me, I hate that she never gave me any good values, and I hate when my therapist says “she can’t help it”. It makes me so frustrated, it’s just not fair. I hope, though, that with time I will be able to let her go and be at peace with the person she is. Accepting that she will never change is the most difficult thing in the world right now.

You just explained why my marriage lasted over 25 years, and why I’m now free to be the born empath I am, without a narcissist sucking me dry. Did not see it, at all, until I left for good. Wow.
