Why You Attract Narcissists (and How Psychics See the Energetic Pattern)

Have you ever wondered why the same type of person keeps showing up in your love life—the charming, magnetic one who turns out to drain your energy instead of filling it? It’s not bad luck or a curse. It’s an energetic pattern. And from a psychic perspective, that pattern has everything to do with how your light interacts with someone else’s emptiness.

Many people who attract narcissists are empaths—deep feelers who sense emotions before words are spoken. Empaths naturally give, nurture, and heal. But when that generous energy meets someone whose main goal is to take, a cosmic mismatch occurs. Psychics often describe this attraction as “soul static”—two frequencies temporarily syncing until one starts stealing the signal.

The good news? This pattern can be broken. In fact, it’s often a spiritual initiation. Narcissists don’t show up to punish you; they show up to teach you boundaries, self-value, and energetic sovereignty.

This article dives into why empathic souls attract narcissists, what psychic readers see energetically in these relationships, and—most importantly—how to stop replaying this karmic story.

The Energetic Chemistry Between Empaths and Narcissists

Imagine your aura as a glowing battery and the narcissist as a magnet seeking charge. Empaths emit light that feels like safety, admiration, and emotional abundance. Narcissists, who often carry an internal void, sense that energy instinctively. To them, your compassion feels like oxygen.

Psychics see this dynamic in readings as a bright yellow or golden aura surrounded by gray tendrils—the energetic cords a narcissist uses to feed off emotional attention. The empath often feels tired, anxious, or guilty, while the narcissist feels recharged.

According to Psychology Today, narcissism stems from an inflated sense of importance masking fragile self-esteem. In energetic terms, it’s an inner emptiness that constantly needs external validation to survive.

When an empath meets a narcissist, the initial connection feels electric. The narcissist’s charm mirrors your desire for depth. They study your dreams, mimic your kindness, and reflect it back like a mirror with borrowed light. That’s not love—it’s energetic mimicry.

One client described her ex as “a psychic twin” at first—until her intuition dulled and she began doubting her own instincts. When a psychic reading revealed dense energy cords around her solar plexus, she realized she’d been unknowingly feeding the relationship from her power center.

Why the Pattern Repeats (and How to Recognize It Early)

If you’ve attracted more than one narcissist, it’s not your fault—it’s your frequency. Empaths often radiate openness without energetic boundaries. The universe keeps repeating lessons until the energy shifts.

Narcissists sense empaths through behavior cues like instant forgiveness, over-explaining, or avoiding confrontation. Early on, they overwhelm you with affection—a tactic known as love bombing. It creates dependence by flooding your nervous system with dopamine and hope.

From a psychic lens, this looks like a sudden surge of pink aura energy (infatuation) mixed with red cords of attachment. The psychic knows this is a “borrowed high.” The narcissist’s energy doesn’t sustain itself—it loops back, seeking your attention again and again.

As Verywell Mind explains, love bombing isn’t genuine affection—it’s manipulation through intensity. Psychically, it’s energetic tethering.

The first clue? When your intuition goes quiet. A narcissist’s strongest weapon is confusion. They flood your field with noise—mixed signals, sudden criticism, disappearing acts—until your inner voice feels muted.

The Spiritual Lesson Behind the Attraction

Psychics often remind clients that recurring patterns aren’t punishments—they’re mirrors. Every time you attract a narcissist, the universe is highlighting an energetic leak in your field.

Spiritually, narcissists serve as shadow teachers. They reveal where you’ve mistaken love for validation, compassion for obligation, or intuition for people-pleasing. Once you reclaim those lost energies, the pattern ends.

In one reading, a woman kept falling for emotionally unavailable men. Her psychic saw a past-life image of her as a healer who believed love meant sacrifice. Recognizing that imprint allowed her to rewrite the pattern in this lifetime—her next relationship was mutual, calm, and growth-oriented.

Harvard Health notes that people with narcissistic traits lack empathy and self-awareness. Spiritually, that lack of empathy serves as a contrast for empaths to rediscover self-respect. It’s the universe teaching balance through polarity.

So if you’ve loved a narcissist, understand this: it’s not weakness—it’s your soul practicing discernment.

The Psychic Signs You’re Dealing with a Narcissist

Most people recognize narcissists through behavior—self-absorption, manipulation, and lack of empathy. But psychics often detect them through energy first. Their presence carries a signature imbalance—sharp, magnetic, and hollow at the center.

If you’re empathic or sensitive, you may notice:

• Your aura feels heavy after talking to them. It’s like emotional static clinging to your field.

• Your throat tightens when you try to express truth. The energy of suppression shows up strongly in readings.

• Your intuition feels fuzzy or dim. Narcissistic energy distorts clarity. You second-guess yourself constantly.

• You feel guilt or anxiety that doesn’t belong to you. That’s their energy infiltrating yours.

A psychic might describe the pattern as “energetic cords” connected between the narcissist’s solar plexus (power center) and your heart chakra (compassion center). The more you give empathy, the stronger the cord grows.

One PsychicOz reader shared a story about a client who couldn’t stop thinking about her ex even months later. During a reading, the clairvoyant saw cords glowing from the ex’s energy field into hers—active, still pulling. Once the cords were cut in a healing visualization, the obsessive thoughts vanished.

A narcissist’s tactics—gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and subtle intimidation—are psychological reflections of this energetic pattern. According to Psychology Today, narcissists thrive on control and attention. Energetically, they depend on emotional chaos to maintain dominance.

The key psychic sign? You feel drained, not inspired, after spending time together. That’s your intuition flashing a red light.

How to Break the Energetic Pattern

Healing from narcissistic attraction isn’t about cutting people off—it’s about rewiring your energy so you no longer attract their vibration. Psychics view this as a process of energetic sovereignty.

1. Cord-Cutting Visualization
Close your eyes. Picture cords of light between you and the person. Gently say, “I release all energy that is not mine.” Imagine the cords dissolving in golden light. Repeat daily for a week. Many empaths feel instant relief.

2. Strengthen Your Solar Plexus Chakra
This chakra, located near your stomach, governs personal power. When weakened, it invites domination. Visualize yellow light spinning brightly. Affirm: “My energy belongs to me.”

3. Practice Psychic Shielding
Before meeting anyone who drains you, visualize a sphere of white light surrounding you. See it reflecting negativity outward while allowing love and truth to flow freely.

4. Heal Through Joy
Narcissistic energy thrives on control and seriousness. Laughter and play reset your vibration. The moment you laugh freely, cords loosen.

5. Seek Psychic Guidance or Energy Healing
A psychic or energy healer can pinpoint the exact frequency where your boundaries blur. Often, awareness alone begins the release.

One PsychicOz client shared that after years of being emotionally manipulated, she finally asked for a reading. The psychic described her energy as “sunlight trapped in a jar.” Through guided cord cutting and heart healing sessions, she felt her confidence surge—and noticed she stopped attracting controlling partners altogether.

Greater Good Science Center explains that too much empathy without boundaries leads to emotional burnout. From a psychic view, this burnout is your aura’s way of saying: “Stop giving away the light meant to guide yourself.”

The Role of Psychic Readings in Healing Narcissistic Cycles

Psychic readings provide what logic can’t—a soul-level diagnosis. While therapy addresses emotional behavior, psychic insight reveals energetic cause.

During a session, a clairvoyant might see images showing where the pattern began—perhaps in childhood or a past life. Some clients discover that their attraction to narcissists comes from unfinished karmic lessons about control and self-trust.

For example, one reader described seeing a client’s aura showing two intertwined colors—her own pink (compassion) mixed with another’s dark red (control). The psychic explained that she’d been giving away her intuition in exchange for approval. Once she reclaimed that awareness, her relationships transformed.

Psychics can also help you identify whether a bond is karmic or toxic. Not all intense connections are meant to last—some are meant to awaken. The moment you learn the lesson, the energy untangles naturally.

In addition, psychic readings can:

• Reveal where your boundaries leak energy.

• Show which chakra needs healing.

• Help you identify repeating relationship patterns across lifetimes.

• Offer personalized rituals for protection and renewal.

A PsychicOz clairvoyant described it this way: “Every empath has a light that narcissists notice instantly. Psychic work doesn’t dim your light—it teaches you how to direct it.”

Reclaiming Your Energy and Rewriting the Script

The turning point in every empath’s journey comes when they stop asking, “Why did this happen to me?” and start asking, “What is this teaching me?” The moment you shift from blame to awareness, your energy rises above the narcissistic frequency—and the pattern dissolves.

Psychics describe this transition as “aura recalibration.” When you reclaim lost energy, your vibration changes so drastically that narcissists no longer recognize you as a source. It’s like changing your phone number in the energetic world—they can’t dial in anymore.

Reclaiming your energy starts with a few conscious choices:

1. Stop rescuing people who refuse to rise.
Narcissists thrive on being your project. They dangle potential like bait, knowing you’ll keep trying to heal them. The truth? Their healing isn’t your job. Every moment you invest in fixing them is a moment stolen from your own growth.

2. Rewrite your story through self-validation.
When you begin affirming your intuition—listening to that first inner whisper instead of silencing it—you realign with your higher self. A psychic once said, “Your intuition is a GPS that doesn’t argue. It just reroutes you until you listen.”

3. Ground your empathy.
Empathy isn’t meant to drown you; it’s meant to inform you. Before entering emotional spaces, take three grounding breaths. Picture your roots extending into the earth. When you anchor your energy, your compassion becomes wise, not draining.

4. Reconnect with joy.
After leaving a narcissistic relationship, it’s common to feel emotionally numb. That’s the nervous system recalibrating. Psychic healers often encourage play—music, color, nature—to restore vibrational flow. The soul heals faster through laughter than through logic.

An example: one PsychicOz client spent years with a controlling partner. After working with a clairvoyant to balance her heart and solar plexus chakras, she began meditating outdoors daily. Within months, her energy shifted. She started attracting gentle, emotionally available people—the opposite of her old pattern.

Healing doesn’t erase the past; it rewrites your energy so that the past no longer repeats.

Closing Thoughts – You Attract What You Heal

Attracting narcissists isn’t a curse—it’s a classroom. Once you learn the lesson of self-worth, the teacher disappears.

Psychically speaking, narcissistic relationships often represent a soul contract of growth. You incarnate to master discernment, compassion, and energetic balance. When you finally embody those lessons, your frequency no longer matches theirs. You graduate.

It’s important to remember that sensitivity is not weakness—it’s spiritual intelligence. Your empathy is your superpower, but it needs structure. When guided by intuition and self-respect, it becomes your shield instead of your burden.

A psychic once said during a reading, “The moment you stop trying to prove your goodness, you become untouchable.” And that’s the truth: narcissists can’t manipulate someone who’s already standing in their own light.

So, love deeply, but wisely. Keep your heart open, your boundaries firm, and your energy sacred. You don’t need to close off to protect yourself—you just need to shine in a way that illuminates, not depletes.
