Love Traps: Who Are the Preferred Targets of Playboys?

Recently, the gossip has finally died down. Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it all. Apart from gorging on all the juicy stories, I unexpectedly learned a new psychological concept - 'NPD narcissistic personality'. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) refers to people who are extremely self-centered, good at using others to achieve their own goals, and lack empathy. In relationships, NPDs show behaviors like cold violence, nitpicking and suppressing, never apologizing, making you always inferior, and taking pleasure in seeing your pain.

After Li Jing Lei mentioned NPD in her counterattack article, my social media feed almost exploded with discussions. A girl who was deeply hurt by an NPD personality warned: 'INFP personalities be careful! We are the ones most easily targeted by NPDs.'

For those who don't know where this personality type comes from, let's start with an introduction to the MBTI 16 personality types test. Many people list their personality types in their social media profiles. There are also different personality groups on Douban to help find like-minded people.

Among the 16 personalities, INFP is the one most likely to be chosen by playboys. I am an INFP myself and understand this personality well. INFPs are considered 'healers' and 'mediators' among people. They have strong empathy and understanding, are sensitive and delicate, can sense the small emotions of people around them. They are perfectionists but also very self-abased.

According to research, 'INFPs care a lot about whether others like them', 'they are easily hurt in relationships', and 'they have a high tolerance for others' opinions'. This makes them vulnerable to narcissistic personalities.

Similarly, ISFJ is also easily targeted. They are seen as 'caregivers' and 'protectors'. They have strong empathy, are very good at taking care of others' feelings, and are very tolerant. They are also more helpful and self-sacrificing than INFPs.

Although only these two personalities are more likely to fall into the trap, others are not without risk. Therefore, it's more important to identify and guard against 'narcissistic personalities'.

If you are in such a relationship, believe that you are not inherently bad. It's just that you have been destroyed by a narcissistic partner and haven't had time to rebuild yourself. Eventually, things will get better.

Let's share our experiences of emotional abuse and give advice to singles and those who can't get out of bad relationships.
