It is forestalled that once light is shed on some of these traits the hold of narcissism will in all likelihood lose its grip on its casualties. • Projecting our own goodness on others – an ordinary mortal who daily strives to live a morally upright life albeit their human fallibilities may be prone to projecting their own goodness and sense of morality on others. Projecting our goodness on others can be a great thing if the people we deem noble are really as noble as we deem them to be or more noble than we deem them to be. However, this becomes problematic when we are dealing with narccisists. Whenever we project the virtuousness of humanity on this kind, they exploit our kindness to our detriment and for their own narcissistic supply.
• Having boundless empathy – Empathy is a great tool that simplifies our interactions with others. It enables us/others to swim in the waters that drowned others/us before we/they draw a conclusion about them/us. It is through the employment of empathy that we understand others and feel understood by them. Nonetheless, empathy becomes cantankerous for our personal wellbeing if it is expended to justify abuse or narcissism. The bounds of healthy empathy end where abuse begins. When our empathy to narcissists is limitless we tend to seek to rescue them from the pit of narcissism whilst we sink in the sorrows of their abuse. Contrariwise, if our empathy has boundaries we are most likely to unearth viable solutions to escape from narcissistic abuse.
