      Empathetic people will try and help if you are having a proble

      Psychopaths will mock you and make it worse.

      Why are psychopaths and empathy attracted to each other? My husband had the ability to absorb all the energies I had absorbed throughout the day. Only he didn’t absorb them, he has no feelings, but he did neutralize the vibrations. Which actually felt like he was recharging my batteries when he held me. You know, when he was pretending he loved me.

      Opposites attract.

      Or is that too superficial an answer?

      I’m an empath and I’m attracted to empaths.

      Hi lovelylola – the psychopath pretends to have empathy to match the true empath and to thus be attractive. So it works, because empaths enjoy sharing love. But after the psychopath lures in the empath, then they begin to act differently, and they are not really wanting to share love, they want to have power over someone. Empaths don’t understand the shift, and aren’t as good as psychopaths are at dealing with power, because that has never been their focus. Then before they know it they are entrapped in a bunch of power plays which without knowledge about psychological abuse, they are swimming in confusion and doubt. In the mean time the sociopath is feeding off of their good energy to begin with, and then their hurt emotions later. Either way they are obtaining power and energy from someone else. So to answer your question, psychopaths are attracted to empaths in order to trap them and gain power over them, but empaths are not attracted to psychopaths, they were tricked by the facade.
      Blessings
