​“Each relationship has at its heart, a holy purpose.”
 - Doreen Virtue 
 
The relationship with your husband or wife, significant other, mother or father, between children, siblings or other family members is for a holy purpose. Relationships that you form with friends, people you work or socialize with, gather for meditation or spiritual gatherings, yoga, gym or outdoor/sporting events are in your life for a reason.
 
Some people come and go; some may be around for a lifetime. Some relationships are deeper than others. 
 
Some people bring us true joy, love and companionship and helps us to strengthen our sense of who we are.  Others may provoke extreme pain and suffering and contribute to a feeling of a weaker self. They tend to shatter the self-image making us doubt our ability to make healthy decisions and come to good judgement.
 
Yet all relationships ultimately serve to discover our soul’s purpose.

If you are a highly sensitive person, chances you are in or have been in a relationship with a narcissist. 

Narcissists are master manipulators and liars with a need for admiration. They have a sense of entitlement, persuasive pattern of grandiosity, sense of self-importance and a true lack of empathy and humility.
​
Highly sensitive people or empaths are often a narcissist’s target because they are deeply caring, empathetic people whose purpose in life is to support the healing in others. Yet due to their intense sensitivity, empaths often struggle to create healthy boundaries for themselves, giving in to co-dependency and habitual self-sacrifice.
