Protect yourself from narcissists using your own natural abilities.
Published on January 16, 2012 by Deborah Ward in Sense and Sensitivity
Ask anyone who is a highly sensitive person and they will tell you that at some point in their lives, they have been in a relationship with a narcissist.
Most did not know it at the time, but increasingly, they began to feel taken advantage of, used and then wonder how to get out. They couldn’t always put a name to it or even expain what was happening. But it didn’t feel good and the harder they tried, the worse it got.
One day you meet someone who seems perfectly nice, funny, charming in fact, and rather appreciative of your sensitive, caring, giving nature and before you know it, you are living with someone who only wants you to cater to their every need.
HSPs don’t consciously choose this kind of relationship, but they are particularly vulnerable to it. Fortunately, there are ways that HSPs can steer clear of these toxic relationships and get the love they deserve.
