You don’t need anyone to complement you, my adorable soul friend! You merely need a securely attached partner. You are describing again the Fearful-avoidant attachment style here which I’m so familar with given that I’ve been there my whole life up to some time ago. The wonderful news is that being an empath doesn’t have to be a curse, should we work on our traumas and subconscious deep wounds. Sometimes it could be a Complex Post Traumatic Disorder like the one I had given that I have been raised by a covert and communal narcissistic mother. The difference between this and the PTSD is that the traumas are minor but taking place for a long time in the former, while it’s major and punctual for the latter. I shared an old piece about secure partners. Let me know if you feel curious about it!
