Why You Attract Predators and Narcissists | An HSP and Empaths Guide
リアクション
2026年06月10日
Predators and narcissists can spot a trauma survivor in seconds. From your posture, your walk, the way your eyes drop when you enter a room. Your unhealed trauma is visible to the people looking for it, and almost nobody in the mental health field will say it out loud.
If you're a highly sensitive person, an empath, or a trauma survivor who keeps ending up with abusers, narcissists, manipulators, and users, you must understand that predators engage in a documented pattern called victim selection. I call it wounded animal syndrome. Predators in nature go after the wounded animal, the one with the limp, the one that's slower than the herd. Human predators do the same thing, reading the signals we broadcast without ever knowing we're sending them.
