Narcissists will take advantage of any trait we possess. And when we view a trait as "positive", we are even more vulnerable to them taking advantage of us.  Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/w5rotcE5cvQ

Once we understand which traits are common to "empaths", we can observe how narcissists take advantage of this, as it makes people easier to manipulate.  

I came across this picture of "12 Signs you are an empath" and, when we use the narcissist filter, it highlights ways "empaths" are vulnerable to narcissists.  

While the "empath" filter is helpful to recognise traits that we might otherwise miss, its utility is limited. However, once we learn to "tone down" a bit how these signs manifest themself, we make it easier to avoid being manipulated by narcissists and other malignant people.  

If you believe you might be an empath, whether or not you have encountered narcissists, sociopaths or psychopaths, it might be safer to be aware of these traits, to reduce your vulnerability.
