I can provide information on the topic.
It's important to clarify that I don't have feelings or interactions in the same way humans do. But I can help explain how some interactions between personality types and narcissists might occur based on general knowledge.
In relationships with narcissists, especially for individuals who possess strong empathetic traits like INFPs (Fi-dominant), certain dynamics can indeed occur. Narcissists are skilled manipulators who may exploit the empathetic and caring nature of others, including INFPs. They may attempt to turn the Fi (introverted feeling) of an INFP into Fe (extroverted feeling) for their own benefit.
Here's how this can happen:
Idealization: At the beginning of a relationship, a narcissist might idealize an INFP, making them feel special, understood, and appreciated. This can tap into the INFP's desire to form meaningful connections with others.
Mirroring: Narcissists are skilled at mirroring other people's emotions and values to gain their trust and admiration. They may try to mirror the INFP's Fi values to create a false sense of shared beliefs and interests.
Exploitation: Once the narcissist gains the INFP's trust and emotional investment, they might start to exploit the empathetic and caring nature of the INFP, using them as a source of emotional supply.
Gaslighting: Narcissists can gaslight their partners, making them question their feelings and perceptions. This manipulation can leave the INFP feeling confused and unsure about their emotions and the dynamics of the relationship.
To deal with such situations, it is essential for INFPs (or anyone) to:
Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries and be assertive in communicating them to the narcissist. Limit their ability to manipulate and exploit you emotionally.
Seek Support: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist to discuss your experiences and gain perspective and emotional support.
Educate Yourself: Learn more about narcissism and manipulative behaviors to better understand the dynamics at play and how to protect yourself.
Practice Self-Care: Take care of your emotional and mental well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
Consider Ending the Relationship: If the relationship becomes toxic or abusive, it may be necessary to consider ending it for your own well-being.
Remember, dealing with a narcissist can be emotionally challenging, and it's essential to prioritize your mental health and happiness in any relationship. Seeking professional guidance can be beneficial in navigating such situations.
