Empaths Playing Victim is a Red Flag Nobody Talks About
Stop putting "Empath" in your Instagram bio. 🛑
It’s the truth your therapist is too afraid to tell you: You aren't a victim of bad luck. If you keep attracting narcissists, it’s because you have no boundaries. You are signaling that you are desperate for validation and willing to be a martyr.
I’m Michael—a psychologist in training, a sober dad, and a recovering egomaniac. In this video, we are burning the victim card. We are talking about the Human Magnet Syndrome, the Jezebel Spirit, and why your people-pleasing is actually biblical idolatry.
You aren't an empath; you’re likely a narcissist enabler or a covert narcissist hiding in plain sight.
