Others, unable to cope with the loss of control, may become enraged, confused, or even despondent. They might lash out at the empath or anyone they perceive as a threat to their fragile ego. Sometimes this anger is directed inward, leading to fleeting moments of self-loathing and despair. However, most narcissists struggle with genuine self-reflection; their defenses are too deeply ingrained to allow for true accountability.
The way a narcissist reacts to losing an empath reveals their underlying fragility. While the empath embarks on a journey of healing and self-discovery, the narcissist remains trapped in a cycle of denial, preventing any real personal growth. For the empath, this post-narcissistic chapter represents new beginnings and transformative change. For the narcissist, it’s a stark reminder of the emptiness they’ve built their lives upon—a void that no amount of external validation can ever truly fill.
