I reckon introverts, and the more quiet type can be an easy target in most places. Key reasons are...
1. They may come across shy. 2. Anxious because of their relationship with others. Or if mistreated or left out by others. (ONE POINT on this ^ is.....Standing solo by choice, like us introverts sometimes do!!..people see that as weakness..but we stand alone with confidence!! 3. Safety in numbers, when others have so many to lean on..they'll pick on the one tackling everything alone, because nobody will defend them! 4. Building bridges, in this world where it's "who you know!!"..lots of people advance to promotion in average jobs..but they're not all that clever!!..That's why there's no mentor in the workplace..it's a sink or swim surrounding for the majority..if you come across clever,.. but very quiet..you'll be picked on!! 5. Although lacking that confidence, inflicted when in the presence of a controlling environment. I think people envy that genuine confidence we have when leading our own solo lives... And when there's safety in numbers, few insecure people like to make sure you feel bad...
energy vampires!!...they'll suck your energy out..to charge their own!!
Empaths tend to stay to themselves more and not be around a lot of people if they can help it. But eventually they learn to look for signs of someone trying to take advantage & manipulate and may not signal that they know at first. But they will be onto the person that attempts to do it.
