Here is a copy/paste (bolding emphasis in paragraphs mine) of another article on Quora which is helpful. I believe it is helpful because, when we are traumatized by a narcissist or sociopath, we don’t want to feel powerless. We wonder what we can do to protect ourselves from an entity who obsesses about destroying us. Teresa Santa, on Quora, helps us innerstand how to destroy the power and control the narcissist wants over our lives. She answers the question “can super empaths destroy the narcissist?” by saying:
“Yes, they can! Here are 5 ways a super empath can destroy a narcissist:
1. They do not fall for the narcissist’s facade.
A super empath will not only see through a narcissist’s facade but also feel the emptiness beneath the surface. They will see the weakling the narcissist tries to hide by putting on the facade of their false self. They will immediately sense that there is something wrong with the narcissist’s perception of self, people, and the world. They will see through the grandiosity, arrogance, entitlement. They have this felt sense and accurate reading of what is going on in the narcissist’s mind and body, which does not let the narcissist manipulate them in any way, shape, or form. If a narcissist tries to get under their skin, the super empath will see this coming from a mile away and will quickly put a stop to it. They don’t fall for the narcissist’s fake charisma, mirroring, or future faking, and they find it quite nauseating and unhealthy.
2. They can easily spot a narcissist.
A narcissist can fake everything as much as they want to but would not be able to escape the super empath’s narcissist detection radar. They sniff inauthenticity, dishonesty, and fakery from miles and can immediately tell if things aren’t real because of their extrasensory perception. A super empath’s deep awareness of self and the environment helps them pick cues that inform their decision-making process. And they see things for what they are and not what the narcissist wants them to believe. The narcissist may mimic their feelings, but as a super empath, they will be repulsed by the inhumanness and predatory nature of the narcissist. A super empath knows that genuine empathy is warm and comforting, not cold, situational, selective, and distorted like a narcissist’s version of it. Super empaths can quickly discern intentions and see through thousands of masks, exposing the narcissist before the narcissist reveals their true nature.
3. They set solid boundaries with no loopholes or gray areas.
A super empath will always be clear with the people in their life about what they are and what they aren’t willing to accept. They value their peace and have a strong sense of self-concept. They know how worthy they are, and their worth and esteem aren’t the function of anyone else’s treatment. If someone tries to manipulate them into doing something they do not want to do, they will sense this, won’t give the person the benefit of the doubt, and will set firm boundaries immediately. They won’t hesitate to say no, which is what a narcissist cannot tolerate. A narcissist has to have everything their way and has to have control over everything. But a super empath would not tolerate these transgressions or violations. They call the narcissist out, and if they do not stop, the super empath cuts them off without a second thought.
4. They can shatter the narcissist’s ego.
Super empaths have high emotional intelligence. They can see past the narcissist’s masks and see their fragility. They know what aggravates the narcissist the most. And if the need arises, they become direct and effective when calling out the narcissist on their BS. Through their righteous rage, grounded powerfulness, and radical honesty, they can annihilate a narcissist’s false self and shatter it into pieces, causing irreversible damage to the narcissist. Unlike a narcissist, an angry and an aware empath isn’t reactive, impulsive, or abusive. They are decisive and know what they want, why they want it, and how to get it strategically. They do not attack the narcissist to get supply because they don’t need any form of supply. They fight the narcissist like a warrior of light who is guided by the universe, and their intact moral compass and values. Their truth outshines the narcissist’s dark lies, making them the narcissist’s kryptonite.
5. They deflect the narcissist’s projections.
The favorite trick of a narcissist is to project their insecurities and inadequacies onto other people. It is a distraction from how they truly feel about themselves. However, the super empath can quickly understand what is going on as they have a strong sense of self and know their worth and what they stand for. This is the reason why projection does not work on them. They deflect and do not react. They know that these projections aren’t their truth. They see through the projections, like you would see through a window where the narcissist tries their best to make it their mirror. They firmly hold on to the reality that they have created for themselves and know that the narcissist has no true foundation to define someone’s reality. They do not know who they truly are. So how can they define someone else? How can they talk about who someone else is? A super empath finds a narcissist’s accusations amusing because they know the allegations are the confessions of the true nature of the narcissist.

For all who suffer from narcissistic abuse, in this epidemic of narcissism, I say study! Study helps us to know ourselves, where we are vulnerable, and what the tactics of the narcissist are. Through study, I have learned to discern when there is a narcissist in my midst. I have learned to implement firm boundaries and keep them in place. It is a much safer place to be than not knowing what evil truly is. That is how it used to be for me.
The short video below describes how to destroy the ego of the narcissist (or, in my case, the Steve sociopath). The Steve sociopath tried for ten years after divorce to destroy me. He had quickly remarried and had Teresa (or what he called a “barfly”) assist with his stalking, abuse, and harassment. Even though I relocated to a new community, the Steve sociopath and his wife stalked. He hoped to prove I was the whole problem by driving me both insane and to my grave. He knew I had suffered a year-long health crisis. So it looked like his plan would be easy to achieve.
He failed. No matter how hard he tried with stalking, harassment, assaults, using and abusing our children, poverty, disrupting visitation, unending court battles, pathological lying, smear campaigns, character assassination, etc., he could not stop me. He DID cause a lot of damage which has taken decades to recover. In spite of his herculean obsession with destroying me, I earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees in criminal justice and social work. I became licensed in the State of Minnesota as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I accessed holistic healthcare and EMDR for recovery.
He ended up divorced from his barfly after going to jail for assaulting her in front of what he called her “slimy brats”. He ended up with his three biological children eventually realizing he doesn’t care about them, knowing he is a liar who has a personality disorder, and that he used his family as cover for his evil nature. He ended up with gallbladder surgery, knee surgery, depression, alcoholism, and heart stints after a heart attack. His third wife is the age of our daughter and of another ethnicity. Since I have no contact with the Steve sociopath, I do not know if he is married or divorced from her. He is very protective of other people finding out how his life is failing. Per research, I can assume his third relationship is on the rocks and he carries on his evil schemes, to get narcissistic supply, behind the scenes.
It helps to know that we as survivors do our part with bringing karma to the life of the sociopath. For me, I maintain NO contact with the sociopath. He can obsess about hoovering through relatives or on social media. I do not budge. Now I destroy his false self but refusing to prop up his demons by giving them any attention. Instead, I create a successful life as a retired and credentialed professional who overcame a sociopath who tried to kill me. I now know what evil truly is.
