Being targeted is very simple, especially if you are empathetic and have “certain traits” that narcissists find attractive. Narcissists always feel the need to be in control. Did you know that your personality can make you a victim of narcissists? Here’s why a narcissist may target you.
When we set our sights on getting our devices to power us, it makes sense to devote the most amount of time to the person who will be our primary source of fuel.
Of course, the amount of time devoted to this depends on the relevant narcissist, but each type of us looks for certain prevalent traits of empathetic individuals.
There are certain basic traits found in empathetic individuals. Ordinary people will have some, perhaps not all, of these traits and they will not have the traits to the extent and degree of an empathic person. Thus, this is why ordinary people rarely make our primary sources.
There are also attributes known as class attributes. These are traits that appeal to the relevant cadre of narcissists, whether that person is a victim, physical, cerebral, or elite narcissist.
Basic features are very important to us. Their presence provides us with the three basic elements that we take from our victims. First, these traits mean that fuel savings will be high because they are linked to emotional output from the victim.
Second, there are certain residual benefits that come from these traits that we want. Third, by associating ourselves with someone who has these traits, we can pretend that we also have them. We do not have these features. So we want to take it from you to apply it to our building and take it as our own.
Since we are experts and copyists, we do not have these traits ourselves and do not feel them, but we are able to replicate what you look like by studying how you behave, because you have these traits. We then apply this to our behavior in order to maintain the interface.

This deceives others into thinking we are honest, respectful, and loving. It also enables us to mirror your traits and reflect them back on you so that you think we have them too. This makes us all more attractive to you and ensures that you are close to us.
Accordingly, identifying these core traits in our victims is extremely important. The more you have these traits, the better. The more of these traits you have, the more likely you are to be trapped by our species.
The combination of basic traits and class traits that show up in the way you behave and act attract our species to you. We feel and see these traits and focus our attention on you as a potential primary source.

There are ten of these basic features. The ideal is to find a victim who has all 10 essential traits and to show them to a large extent. Then we also want them to display relevant class traits that match the type of narcissist we are.
The petty narcissist is not aware of these traits but like a hungry wolf sniffing food he can sense the presence of these traits and know that the person displaying them is someone he wants to be with.
The midrange narcissist recognizes these qualities as admirable traits to have in a person. He sees them as plus points in the same way that someone might view someone interested in art, travel, and classical music, as a good match to start dating. The average ranger knows he appreciates these traits but doesn’t know the underlying reason why he’s drawn to them.
The greater narcissist knows what these traits are and why they are important. He knows the job they play, and he knows better than anyone how to spot it and where (“the hunting grounds”) to find people who will have these basic as well as class traits.
The great can recognize the presence of these traits and match the target with them before moving into that person’s decoy.
So, what are these traits? Well, here are five of the ten for example. It is very likely that you have all five of these traits and will have them in large quantities because that is why you were trapped in a narcissistic to begin with.
5 Worrying Reasons Why A Narcissist Targets You
- Loving love
We require our targets to adhere to the concept of love. You want to find love, experience love, love, and be loved. The idea of love is central to your existence and truly believe that our purpose on this earth is to love others.
It means not only loving those around you but believing above all in the fulfillment that arises from having that special someone you are committed to, for whom you will do anything and for whom you will make sacrifices.
The existence of love is your reason for its existence and therefore you must find it by simply locating, obtaining, and maintaining it. We want lovers to love because your devotion to love often blinds you to other things and so by pretending to give you love we can relate to this trait of yours and allow us to snag you with ease.
- Merciful
Our target must show empathy. This sympathy must be mainly ours though we are content to show it to other people and other things like animals, to discover it. If we determine that someone is more interested in animals and things than in people, we do not consider that this meets our requirements.
At an early stage, if we see evidence of empathy towards animals, it generally (but not always) means that this person will be compassionate towards humans as well.
- Decent
We are looking for decent people. Polite and understanding people. People who care about others, wait their turn to speak, allow others to take a slice of the pie before everyone else, donate to charity, and treating themselves in a dignified manner.
Why a narcissist is targeting you: 5 reasons
The Narcissist’s Best Target: Why Do Narcissists Target Empathy?
Decency is an attractive trait because it tells us that you will hold to certain standards and that you also expect us to do the same. This is important because we know that this often refers to the fact that you are not likely to give up on us when the going gets tough.
- Moral compass
We prefer someone with a strong moral compass, someone who hands a purse to the police with its contents intact if they find such an item on the street or alerts a shop assistant if they are handed too much change.
This person is monogamous, loyal, and believes that others should act according to similar moral codes. Again, this tells us that you are very likely to stay there once the devaluation kicks in and that our behavior will offend your moral compass, so there will be an accompanying emotional reaction and therefore copious fuel.
- Take care
An individual who always takes care of another person. Be it by working to provide for us, excellently managing the home, looking after us when we are sick and concerned about our well-being, the trait of caring is very important and should be evident in our primary resource in particular.
Not only will this tell us that you’ll want to take care of us, but it also signals to us that when we start to devalue you, you’ll want to fix and heal us, and so you’ll keep clogging up, trying to do so. The right thing.
It also tells us that we can expect great residual benefits from you in connection with your care of us, which is consistent with our view of how you should be submissive and obedient.
