Many say that finding a twin flame itself is a spiritual experience that forges an extremely strong bond between individuals. This strong connection can sometimes be mistaken for a narcissistic relationship. To grow emotionally and build well-being, it is important to know the difference between the twin flame and the narcissist connection.
The Twin Flame Connection vs. Narcissistic Attachment
A twin flame relationship often has an inherently spiritual feeling, a familiarity with an inseparable connection that is almost impossible to break. Many describe it as if they have known each other across many lifetimes, and even when they are separated, twin flames find their way into each other’s lives. However, this very intensity can manifest in relationships with narcissists, which may render differentiation between them rather hard to pin down. In any case, it is important to understand narcissistic behavior first and foremost.
Trauma or unmet needs early in life often cause narcissists to create a “false self” that relies heavily on external validation to feel secure. It is probable that they emulate the very qualities that attract you to them and create an illusion of profound, soul-level love. This is temporary, however, until the self-serving motives rise to the surface and the cycles of manipulation and emotional hurts begin.
Key Differences
A twin flame truly cares about your well-being and supports your growth, even if they are not ready for a committed relationship. A narcissist, on the other hand, lacks any real empathetic ability and controls or undermines their partner to achieve a powerful feeling and sense of validation.
Breaking the Cycle
Practice self-love; this way, you will not mistake twin flames as narcissistic relationships. Find resiliency in yourself, self-approval, and independence so that you don’t get confused with any kind of illusion from love. By developing a healthy sense of yourself, you will be more open to attracting true and healthy relationships into your life and seeing things in relation to your soul’s journey as very important.
