I am a self-identified Empath; I can understand why you feel the way that you do as an Empath lol I don't really question if a self-identified Empath is really an Empath. I understand that people are multidimensional and I'm more curious about their actions. I can see how certain traits that Empaths possess may also be perceived as narcissistic.
As humans, we are all flawed. Nonetheless, I appreciate your perspective.
