Narcissists are spiritually empty, so they attach to people filled with love, empathy, and light.

Because they don't have those things themselves. They can't generate love—they can only consume it. They can't feel empathy—they can only mimic it.

They can't create light—they can only drain it from others. So they seek out people who have what they lack, not to learn from them, but to feed off them.

That's why narcissists don't target weak people. They target strong people. Kind people. Loving people. People with big hearts and deep empathy. People who see the good in others.

People who believe in second chances. People who give generously. People who love unconditionally.

Because those people are full. And narcissists are empty. And the empty always seek the full—not to become full themselves, but to drain what's there.

You weren't chosen because you were broken. You were chosen because you were whole. Because you had something they wanted. Light they could dim. Love they could take. Energy they could drain. Empathy they could exploit. Goodness they could corrupt.

They saw your capacity to love and knew they could use it. They saw your empathy and knew they could manipulate it. They saw your light and knew they could extinguish it.

They saw your strength and knew if they could break you, they'd have unlimited supply.

Because narcissists are spiritually bankrupt. There's nothing at their core. No genuine love. No real connection. No authentic emotion. Just an endless void that demands constant feeding.

And people like you—people filled with love, empathy, and light—you're the perfect supply.

You give freely. You love deeply. You see potential in people. You believe in growth. You extend grace. You offer second chances. You fill spaces with warmth. You bring light into darkness.

And narcissists? They consume all of that without ever reciprocating. Without ever filling their own void. Because their void can't be filled—it can only consume.

That's why the relationship felt so one-sided. You were giving and giving and giving, trying to fill them up, trying to help them heal, trying to love them into wholeness.

But you can't fill a bottomless pit. You can't heal someone who doesn't believe they're broken. You can't love someone into having a soul.

They attached to you because you're everything they're not. Genuine. Empathetic. Loving. Whole. And instead of being inspired by that, instead of wanting to become that, they wanted to possess it. Control it. Drain it. Destroy it.

Because seeing your light reminds them of their darkness. And rather than do the work to find their own light, it's easier to extinguish yours.

Rather than develop their own empathy, it's easier to exploit yours. Rather than cultivate their own love, it's easier to take yours.
So they attached.

They mirrored your energy to make you think you'd found your match. They love-bombed you to secure your attachment. They made you feel seen, understood, special—because they studied you. They learned what you needed to hear, what you wanted to feel, what would make you bond to them.

And once you were attached, once they had access to your love, your empathy, your light—they started draining it. Slowly at first. Then faster. Until you were running on empty while they were still demanding more.

But here's what you need to understand: You weren't drained because you were weak. You were drained because you were full. And they were empty. And the empty will always try to drain the full if the full allows it.

Your love wasn't the problem. Your empathy wasn't the problem. Your light wasn't the problem. The problem was giving those things to someone who was fundamentally incapable of reciprocating them. Someone who saw your wholeness as something to consume, not something to honor.

Narcissists are spiritually empty. And no amount of your love, your empathy, your light will ever fill them. Because they're not looking to be filled—they're looking to fill the void temporarily by draining others. And the moment you're depleted, they'll move on to the next full person.

But you? You can refill. You can heal. You can rebuild your light. Because you have a source—a genuine spirit, a real capacity for love, authentic empathy. You generate light from within.

You don't need to take it from others because it's already inside you.

They can't do that. They can only take. Only consume. Only attach to others and drain until there's nothing left, then move on and repeat the cycle.

So if a narcissist attached to you, if they targeted you, if they consumed your energy—don't see it as a flaw in you. See it for what it is: proof that you had something real. Something valuable. Something they could never create themselves.

You weren't their victim because you were weak. You were their target because you were full. And they were empty. And the empty will always seek the full.

But now you know. Now you can protect your energy. Now you can choose who gets access to your love, your empathy, your light. Now you can save those precious things for people who reciprocate them, not people who just consume them.

Because you deserve to give your light to people who generate their own. To share love with people who give it back. To extend empathy to people who appreciate it, not exploit it.

Narcissists are spiritually empty. And that's their problem, not yours.

Your job isn't to fill their void. Your job is to protect your light. And give it only to people who add to it, not drain it.

You're not a battery for broken people to recharge from. You're a whole person who deserves whole people in return.
Remember that. Protect that. Honor that.

Your light is precious. Don't give it to people living in darkness by choice.
