Do You Have These Traits?

Here are five types of people that narcissistic people tend to go after:

First, Empaths. 

Empaths are people who feel deeply and often prioritize others’ emotions over their own. 

This makes them easy for narcissistic individuals to exploit, as they are more likely to sacrifice their own needs to maintain harmony or make others happy.

Then there are Overly Forgiving People—those who are quick to forgive and let things slide, even after being hurt. 

Narcissists count on this because it allows them to avoid accountability, making it easier for them to repeat hurtful actions without facing consequences.

Next, we have People Pleasers. 

These are individuals who avoid conflict and focus on keeping others happy, often at their own expense. 

Narcissists benefit from this because people pleasers tend to prioritize their needs, giving narcissists constant attention and validation without requiring much in return.

Rescuers are another type. 

These are people who feel a strong urge to fix or help others, believing they can change or heal someone. 

Narcissists are drawn to rescuers because they provide consistent, unconditional support while the narcissist avoids taking responsibility for their behavior.

Finally, there are the Idealists. 

These individuals see relationships and people as they could be, often focusing on potential rather than reality. 

Narcissists take advantage of this by manipulating the idealist’s hope that things will improve, allowing toxic behavior to continue unchecked.

If you see yourself in one of these types, there’s nothing wrong with you. These traits often reflect kindness, compassion, and hope.

But now that you’re aware of how they can make you vulnerable to narcissistic people, it’s time to set boundaries to protect yourself and nurture healthier relationships.

All the best,
