Healthy Mirroring: Healthy mirroring is a natural and positive part of human interaction; it allows us to learn, empathize, and build strong connections. Unconscious mirroring occurs in genuine empathy and the desire to relate to others. It is not done with the intention of manipulation or exploitation, but rather as an authentic way of showing understanding and attentiveness.

Covert Mirroring: Narcissistic mirroring is a self-serving manipulation tactic used by narcissists to exploit and control others. Although narcissism is associated with a lack of empathy, narcissists seem to possess the ability to emulate empathy. They mimic others to gain trust, admiration, and control, not because they genuinely empathize with the person or persons.

Covert narcissists engage in "mirroring" as a manipulative tactic, essentially reflecting your emotions and actions toward you to make you feel as though you are the one being inappropriate or causing their distress. This can involve shifting blame or playing the victim, causing you to question your own perceptions and reactions.

Empath mirroring refers to the phenomenon where empaths feel and experience the emotions of others as if they were their own. Empaths' mirror neurons have a highly responsive mirror neuron system, which allows them to resonate deeply with the feelings of those around them. Empaths often act as a "mirror" for others, reflecting their emotional states.

The Empathic condition.

The Empath is a highly sensitive individual who has learned to be highly in tune with the World around them. Empathy is a survival mechanism subconsciously learned in many cases at an early age.

The individual mirrors, masks, and reflects to feel safe within an uncertain world.

Being an Empath is in no way a gift, nor is it a woke concept. The Empaths World is, in many ways, a connection to the time before humanity's Evolution or devolution. The Early Humans survived by listening, observing, and connecting to the natural World. We can also see this same survival instinct in the Animal Kingdom.

The fight or flight response, long dormant, becomes awakened when an individual is in a time of self-preservation. Chronic self-preservation becomes instinctive, unconsciously learned. This ability isn't what you would call a superpower; we were all born with the ability to survive, adapt, and thrive in an untamed world.

Over the past year, I have faced relentless storms that plunged me into nightmarish depths, far beyond the limits of sanity. Each wave crashed down like a violent tide, leaving me feeling shattered in mind, body, and spirit as I spiraled into a dark abyss. However, I refuse to see myself as broken or weak; I will not surrender to despair without a fight. Surprisingly, this past year has felt like a gentle stroll through a sunlit park compared to the turmoil I have endured throughout my life. With unwavering determination, I clawed my way back from that shadowy pit, only to be thrust back into chaos. Silence and isolation, once my Kryptonite, have become unexpected sources of comfort. Detaching and shielding my energy from anything that isn't for my betterment has been more than a necessity.

Stress preys on the heart and soul long before our time ends.

Death arrives without warning, bringing the brutal loss of those we love.

Deception weaves a merciless reality, obscuring the truth.
