This is good reason not to over share with people you don't know. Keep your secrets private and make sure you know who you're dealing with. Fast friends aren't usually "friends".

I'm a dark empath because of trauma so I believe everyone is susceptible to this. From childhood abuse to relationship trauma has lead me to try to protect myself. But work on yourself through repetition. It can help to understand your attachment style and see a professional as well. Don't turn yourself into a villain, don't see yourself as one, make the change you want to. Let your past teach you; don't reflect the past.

There is a difference between empathy and sympathy.Crying or rejoicing with others is sympathy. Empathy is understanding the experiences of others, whether or not you share their feelings.

Highly empathetic working in nursing. Yet I've always always been able to shut a door and never look back. I don't feel responsible for others happiness.

I feel like they are describing Empaths who have been hurt, and in turn are protective of themselves. Yes…some people are full assholes, but being able to read and feel people help in deciding who you want/don’t want in your life.

I believe you can be both a empath and dark empath depending on the situation and people you are dealing with.

It seems to me that there's a danger to misdiagnose oneself. We all, as humans, have good and evil in ourselves and we can choose either one. Some do deliberately choose the dark side, but it's not a given. People of high intelligence are gifted and able to discern easily the emotions and motives of others, but they have a higher responsibility for their actions. It's all about who we choose to be. We're capable of good or evil...or both.

Empath and empathy have two different meanings. I understand a dark empath to be a warrior for good especially against narcissist.

It's sad it all gets so confusing when they say don't mistake someone's kindness as being genuine, which starts to make you doubt any good in the world. This sucks.

We all share traits of dark empaths, just because you share traits... For instance I share 4 traits. 1. I'm introverted, however social settings I become confident and comfortable but I'm really critical... 2. I will show empathy but I may not care deep down, I won't use anything against you or anything. 3. Only in some settings, I use it in competitive settings sure but that's competition... 4. Affection starving I have done because I don't feel people have earned it other times I forget... I studied psychology and often wonder if I am psychopath or sociopath but I don't think I'm either... We are human, different in our own ways just because you share traits does not mean you are one

I don't think I'm a dark empath, but have the ability to be. There's a point where your so aware of the emotions around you and even your own where you can cross realms especially if you've lived long enough and been hurt enough.

All the people in my HR department fit this description perfectly.

I think from what we seen the most important thing is hold anybody accountable for their actions or make them realized they're wrong rather than destroying them

I had a close friend for about 4 or 5 years who is a dark empath. After about 2 years of our friendship I got a weird gut feeling about her and I saw weird behavior in her. Sadly I tried to ignore it for a long time. I talked my own intuition down and gaslight myself

I actually started feeling nauseous while watching this and my jaw was dropped during almost the whole video. I realized my childhood "friend" had every single one of these traits. I eventually got sick of his crap and after being in a psychology class years later I began to suspect that the "friend" I finally had enough of was a sociopath. He wasn't though. He was a dark empath. Here is a little fun story about the worst friend I ever had. We became friends in the 2nd grade. Everything was good and fun. I loved him like a brother. But I started to notice some toxic things about him. His lack of loyalty. We were best friends. Joined at the hip. And yet any time that I told him about a girl that I liked he would go sabotage it, by snitching to them and making an awkward scene that humiliated me. Eventually I got sick of him doing this and told his crush that he had feelings for her. Not to get revenge even though that is probably what it seemed like, but just to show him how it would make him feel. He actually had the audacity to get angry with me and I somehow ended up being the one who apologized. He made me feel like he was allowed to spread my secrets to anyone who would listen, but if I spread his I was a piece of crap. Thanks to me being his first friend, I was able to get him into a friend group with my other friends. Everything was good for 3 years, aside from me learning to never tell him any secrets. But then he started sowing seeds of doubt in me. He started bringing up this guy I had never heard of and claimed he was "his real best friend." And I even blatantly said, "I thought I was your best friend." And he responded with, "No, you are just one of my friends, he is my best friend." That may have not seemed like a big deal, but when you have someone who you spend almost every moment of your school day with whenever applicable and the only person you hang out with outside of school telling you that someone else is their best friend it is an extreme blow to your self-esteem. It screwed me up for so long. I was desperate to finally find someone who would view me as their favorite. I became very self-destructive because of it. I wanted someone to love me so badly to the point it was unhealthy thanks to him. And then it got even worse. He started "teasing" me with really mean things that he kept writing off as jokes. Any time I would call him out on his really mean and humiliating remarks he would always write them off as jokes. I put up with this abuse for 3 more years after this started. Eventually other "friends" seemed to start turning against me. They started insulting me. And eventually it got to the point where I was always uncomfortable around my so-called friends. I finally had enough whenever I caught him talking crap about me behind my back. As a side note since it doesn't really fit in anywhere all that well in this narrative, he also had this weird thing with his elf-esteem. He acted arrogant in front of others, but whenever it was just, he and I he would put himself down. One of the reasons I started to suspect he was a sociopath aside from the ton of other reasons already mentioned about him being a dark empath which I initially mistook for being a sociopath, was his extreme charisma to the point it was unsettling. I did not notice it whenever I was a child, because I did not know what sociopaths were at the time. But after learning about it in a psychology class I looked back on the moments where he was so abnormally charismatic especially for someone his age and it frightened me. Back then I thought it was charming. After looking back once learning about sociopaths it just sent chills up my spine. Like how could anybody have been as charming as him without their being something wrong with him? I don't fall for charm after learning how sociopaths use it to manipulate people. I find charm repugnant. I only trust people who are awkward like me. It is so creepy knowing how close I was to someone who was a dark empath. I still have nightmares remembering all of the suffering I endured as a child from not having a good father (he eventually turned around, but he took his own sweet time), an abusive teacher, an abusive best friend, and growing up in a Baptist church where I was basically brainwashed into believing that I was going to hell for making a blasphemous joke that would not be forgiven.

The love to introduce you to guilty trips and self doubt! Making you gaslighting yourself.

Thoughtful video but it made me feel that everyone else is dangerous. I'd like to just treat others with trust and respect. Positive attitude and thoughts create easy and friendly social atmosphere.

This accurately describes the man I've been seeing. He doesn't fit the mold for a traditional narcissist, so I've been a bit confused as to discover what exactly is going on here. The term dark empath came up recently and now I'm pretty sure I've figured it out. He has behaved text book to this description. Totally live bombed me for 2 months, then pulled away and has been playing games. Just as I have decided to let him go, he comes back saying all the right things. In the beginning I was asking how he knows to say precisely what I wanted to hear. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I dated dark empathic women, I've been heart broken and deceived. I'm glad I'm learning all this before I go off dating in the future. Aggression should be taken out in other ways and not on the people we love!

I could remember several years ago heroin addiction nearly destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression, illicit pills, and mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

thank you for putting a name to my behavior patterns. now for me to decide to fine tune this or forget it if that’s possible

This was an accurate description of a dark triad. A dark empath is entirely different. The narcissist angers them to the point of their appearing to be like them, in the way that they mirror their personality in order to maintain the advantage of stealth. The dark empath is only focused on isolating the narcissist through projecting the illusion of kinship. Once this objective is achieved, the dark empath will deliver the only thing that the narcissist responds to. Their value of self preservation. The dark empath is not deterred by any of the narcissists attempts to garner sympathy or mercy, knowing too well it is fabricated, and that they will always victimize others. The dark empath has been taken by, and suffered harsh damage from the malignant narcissist. Their motives are not based upon revenge, they are acting through the necessity of severely limiting the narcissists reach on their circle, by driving them out with violent force. The dark empath is able to access the zone of suspending empathy, when it is to the detriment of all others to not do so. The same thing as having to put down a rabid dog, even if it was your own. (Old Yeller)

Absolutely right I wish I knew this before I knew this dark empath that was not only that but an hypnotist. He tried to enslave me but I escaped him. Still I'm recovering. But I'm grateful for this information showing that it was not my fault. And hopping no one ever get caught in that situation Thank you for your beautiful truthful service

Watching this video, I realize that this is probably what my dad is. #3 is a behavior I've noticed from him a lot; that when he does favors for me or someone else, the whole point is to make other people feel like they owe him, instead of helping just because he wants to help. Being raised by someone like that messed me up in ways that are hard to deal with. Even I noticed in the past that I started to act like him, but had to learn how to not be that way. It's been hard.

Lol, that's so cool that the voiceover sounds like Casey Casum from the 80s:) Thank you for sharing this info in ways that helps put others at ease while learning about the darker sides of life. Top notch thinking, in my book ❤️☀️🙏

Very nice video, the comments are also interesting. I was wondering how many people are enough intelligent to understand this kind of stuff

I can see those who want to drag me down from a mile away. It took alot of time and let downs to become who I am today, but I can't stay mad. They did me a favor to be honest. To the young men out there in todays crazy world, Do not give up. Do not be pushed around. Do not be told who to be. Have courage in your thoughts and stand up for yourself. Most importantly, be kind to others.

I do have a several signs of a Dark Empath, quite sad because i've been bullied and then become a bully by be able to manipulate any person to do something i wanted. But right now i be able to controll it and use it for a good purpose. Changing my mindset and reminding the old me is such pain, but its a progress to be a better person..

OMG all of this is very familiar 😱😳🥺. I think the worst part is the amount of time it took to become apparent to me that this is a real thing and not only in my head or not me. Thank you for all your videos, I have learned much and encourage others to subscribe to your channel, everyone should have a little knowledge on this and other types of personality disorders tucked away for just in case. 👍

A dark narcissist is the worst personality type, or covert narcassist

This describes most narcissists and sociopaths, the latter has a very sharp read on the body language and responses of others

I recently got rid off someone like that, I honestly feel I deserve better for a friend. This woman went through a lot and I was there for her, but then I saw the other side of her personality, she thought she was going to abuse me like her father did to her. She doesn't realize what she does to others, but in the other hand she's horrible to everyone, and I let her know that. I wished her the best in life. If you know anyone like this run, because they're not going to change unless they want to.

This dark empath recorded me having a mental break down while comforting me at the same time.

AS A DARK EMPATH MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT KEEPS ME FROM DOWN ALL OUT DARK

The presentation of this Pscychology rabbit hole left me feeling a bit sticky and in need of the shower, but this collection of commentors and their remarks are warmly illuminating. The level of awareness of these issues is far greater in people today than it was is the past. I love warmth I feel when illuminated by a ray of hope.

The most dangerous Personality. They can sense your emotion and use it against you. No matter if they talk with a narcisist or a psychopath.

Nice video! As humans naturally we all want to reach people where they are at. All these traits they are so similar nothing really giving significant evidence to clarify the disorders. I believe in different personalities and we are all different in some ways. But you’ve never stated of a so call “dark empath” having self awareness. Truly as I write some people are just genuine people who want the best for you and themselves. Just because a person can read dark and light doesn’t mean they are the most dangerous. They have awareness to pick and choose what side to fight for good or evil. Nobody is perfect! I think it’s the best personality to have to reach people where they are at in life only for the good not evil! Take care ✌🏿

Sometimes I wonder if the person that outlined these disorders name them romantically so the public will want to identify with them, thus giving their new disorder a way to gain popularity above the multitude of disorders and allowing those that love to identify themselves a new and edgy way to stand out and feel like they are on the fringes of society but in a safe and clinical way.

Lmao everyone here thinks they Batman

They will often tell you how much they go to bat for you and have your back. They are always the one with the knife though who starts the comversations they claim to defend you in.

Thank you for the video the information was very educational.

Although some may claim it impossible to know what pure evil is, I can safely say I've met it face to face. His name was Eric Vandenberg. He was my 10th grade bully. He would often call me a "retard" just to shame me for my Autism, in spite of the fact I could act like a normal person well and true. From this, he appointed himself as the ringleader of those who believed in his slanders and lies about my mental disability, and were egged by him to make my life miserable as well. Things got worse when he used my Autism as a scapegoat, and would blame his misbehavior on my Autism, accusing me of wrongdoing as if I couldn't remember. Worse still, he and the rest of his posse would gaslight me by saying my Autism was making me hallucinate and misremember their abuse, claiming that I was seeing things that never happened, or misremember small details that were never there. Even when they sexually harassed me, they claimed it never happened, as they would often tell the adults, "He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just a retard." From this, Eric and his fellow ring of bullies would claim that my Autism was making me misjudge right from wrong, that I was morally insane. Whenever I did something socially acceptable, like kissing a girl on the hand after a dance, they would punish me for it, saying what I did was unacceptable. The same could be said whenever I did something acceptable, as they would commend me for it. He exploited me being self conscious of my mental illness, and did everything within his power to make my life miserable. My moral compass was broken, I could no longer distinguish right from wrong, and I was afraid that I was going completely insane. The adults were neglectful as well, as they avoided taking full responsibility to handle the situation directly whenever I asked them for help, and instead, left me to handle it myself, even though I lacked the resources, let alone the manpower to do so, as we were living in a boarding school, I could only avoid them for so long. Even so, I tried to befriend Eric whenever he seemed lonely, but the more I tried to befriend him, the more he hated me for it, and would punish me. I knew he had problems, but whenever I asked him what his problem was, he always said it was me. I was very suicidal that year, as no one was willing to help me, even when I was unable to help myself of a situation I was cornered in. I didn't want to kill myself because I lost the will to live, but because I was afraid of becoming a monster. I would rather die than become a psychopath. I was traumatized that year, and it took a lot of effort for me to recover. It wasn't until years later until a former colleague apologized to me for not being there for me, that he revealed something I hadn't known. The entire time, Eric too had Autism. It was then I realized, Eric was willing to manipulate my self consciousness, and my lack of knowledge of my own Autism, to drive me insane to the point of suicide just to defend his pride, just to hide something about himself he didn't want anyone else to know. To this day, I cannot comprehend how anyone as young as we were, 15 years of age, could be capable of doing something so evil. Some may say this is a case of insecurity. But I say, it's the face of pure evil. Am I a Dark Empath?

Interesting!!!!!!! Thanks so much for your video ❤

This is crazy. I’ve watched videos like this for years and only related to some things but this video is wild on how much I relate to a lot of it. I wonder if that is my personality type.

I am definitely a dark empath but just because my mind works that way doesn't mean I use my powers for evil I'm extremely loyal to my friends I try to boost their egos not manipulate them I'm extremely good at manipulating but I avoid doing it honestly he's making us sound like monsters but I will say if I run into a narcissist I love to analyze them tear them apart and make them feel terrible about themselves

Interesting take on the near-impossible task of interpreting my own traits, several bells went off with the behavioral patterns. Paranoid Personality Disorder with Narcissistic and Antisocial Features.

I took the SD3 and got Machiavellianism over psychopathy or narcissism. I do have a bit of a scrappy, let the bridges burn side, so it makes sense.

Thanks for the good tips

Paying your debt to make you guilty is a feature of psychopaths and manipulators. The empaths, light or dark, will help just to... help. About revenge etc. dark empaths do it to people who deeply hurt them.

Wow, I know my oldest brother was (he's dead) a narcissist, but I couldn't quite place my other brother who wasn't right in the head, until now. Now I know he's a Dark Empath. He checks all the boxes and this video made me look deep into myself to see if I'm one as well......and I'm not.

This explains so much!

Thanks for this video, you just made a dark empath smarter

Be balanced, use the attributes of a dark empath to make those in higher positions of power bend to your will in order to progress to a higher position (removing gatekeepers), and use the positive attributes of an empath to help others in need

Sad that these people have to be like this . I feel sorry for people they hurt but also feel bad for them. Idk I pretty much keep to myself and I don't care what anyone says, I love myself and I try to be positive and motivational for others. I don't give to much and I don't want much back. Just respect

Nice training video.

When I was a kid (4 yo) I had viral meningitis and after that my behavior and my mind is changed beyond recognition because it was big trauma for me. Only thing I rarely have is narcissism. It's often uncomfortable to be in group of people when someone is crying or while watching movie because I don't feel nothing inside of myself. But the good thing is in rallying because I'm not afraid of consequences so I can go full throttle. It's really, really, really hard for someone to piss me off. I'm policeman so It's helping me in dangerous situations because I think 100% logically and 0% by empathy, and when I see dead body, injured person in agony, again I don't feel anything. It's weird but helpful. On the other hand, I can't stay in relationship too long.

don't you think dark empaths are just victims of past trauma? cuz i do

As a certified dark empath, i can confirm we exist 🗿

you are a human, don't think you are flawed when you feel a world so cold. i know too, being put down for being different, feeling rejected and shunned. you are still here and thats what counts and keep striving forward, because to have reached this point you are doing great.

As a dark empath... I find that the pictures in this video depicting me as a "Devil" 👿 with horns or any other negative figure as only making me want to dislike people more...

If you fluctuate between confidence and shyness you might have a social anxiety disorder we like to call gullible self diagnosis

Empaths have a super power, double-edged but nonetheless an advantage when needed. With all power, do you use yours for good or for evil?

tnx, i've finally learned what i am. i met someone and started to question myself and the things i did, i really do love her but when i see her face when we're together, I started to realize the horrid things I've done. for quite some time now I'm tryna find what i am or who am i annnndd... i am not proud, i don't even know what to do with this information maybe i would change or maybe become much worst.... but i guess learning what i am is the first step of changing for the better

I’m so empathetic towards people and have been for 53 years however lately I’m holding everything at a distance. I choose who I let in and throw out now. It’s nice but scary.

I'd like to know who mistakes this light-hearted,magazine-style entertainment article for a university lecture on psychology,as after reading the comments there are many who seem to lack any humor or critical thinking.

I think this was really deep , but what would make them an empath, would they still be taking in peoples emotions? Would they feel all of the energy that would drain them ?

Although, I agree that dark empaths exists I have noticed that their traits are a bit different that how they are explained in the video. After all the mixed personalities are most difficult to define. Here is my list: 1. The first point about being extroverts is true, but adding to their point this is true because they usually are surrounded by a lot of people not necessary because they want to, but because circumstances has given them a lot of people around e.g. the person has an influential family and from an early childhood has lots of contacts and these people are more or less a friend of his, but also of the family. However, they enjoy this popularity as it helps them feed of others, whilst people perceive them as successful enough and as such do not see this person's motives. Also, they appear extroverts because to them reverse psychology can only make them satisfied i.e. whilst some worry how the world perceives them, they feel comfortable around large crowds as they do not care how the world perceives them, which could be one of the biggest issues for introverts and shy people. 2. All the points about triggering drama e.t.c. are to an extent true, but they may use these methods or many others not in the video or may not use any of these. One thing that holds true is that they have bad intentions - they just don't want to see good results and thus use any opportunity. Bringing on to number 3. As they enjoy others not to feel good they tend to do this with no purpose at all. Unlike the examples given in the video -these traits are common to many people for a at a point of time e.g. envious people can make someone's life a little bit more miserable if they could. These traits can make almost anyone appear a bit of a dark empath. The difference here is as they sense your weakness themselves being an empath they use it against you regardless of that if they have a motive. Unlike normal people who may do something in an act of envy e.g. they try to eliminate you from their way because they want to be like you, have your job e.t.c. Whilst these people will just do it because they can. 4. Adding on to point 2 and 3, they really enjoy feeding of other empaths mostly, unlike narcissists who try to feed on anyone. Nowdays narcissists can actually be easy to spot to most normal people because they kind of loose how others perceive them due to their lack of empathy. Whilst, a dark empath is aware, but is also easily satisfied with most people because he himself has a wide range of emotions in his vocabulary as an empath himself. Meaning he likes seeing people's reactions, only that those reactions have to be negative in nature, but the more reactions the better that makes it interesting for them. Who would have more reactions than another empath. An example I think is Christian Grey from 50 shades of grey, although, the movie tries to indicate such a character it has not been demonstrated fully enough, but one characteristic of a dark empath is sadism. Feeding of someone's pain whilst watching on how they react. Being wealthy himself he is just looking on how to enjoy himself with something. 5. The fact that they have no other motive than that of someone else's dissatisfaction makes them really hard to spot because one feels as if they are in a series of unfortunate events whilst being around them and cannot really put their foot on a reason. I am sure most of us know when someone may be jealous of us and we kind of try and avoid such people, but with this person -they are not jealous of you, they don't want your money and you think to yourself that there's no way they could actually be doing this to you 6. Finally, as they are good empaths they read your deepest psychological fears and secrets and use them against you, of course. This means that even little things like being shy when most people would be supportive of this quality of yours, this person can destroy you in every possible way and you cannot even describe it because it would sound like you are being delusional to feel things this way. Which could be a terrible thing if you are his prey as no one will believe someone would do something of this sort as apparently there would beno motive. How can he use it when you are shy you may ask? Well, he would simply use it against you in public places - he will raise your embarrasement for no reason so that you would become even more shy in their presence. Whilst a normal person make try to make you more comfortable around them. 7. You can never negotiate with them. The moment you negotiate they know what you want and you will never get it because unlike narcissists who enjoy not letting you have what you want, this person has only one motive : that you don't get what you want. You are their amusement. 8. The do not know of the word "co-operation" they appear co-operative being an empath, but really deep inside the don't care at all about it. As such, you as a co-operative person see them as chilled, but really they are just not agreeing with you.

This is awful stuff and exactly who my mother was. Thank you Top Think. You are downright fantastic for clueing me in on things I would never know or my mother, or father, would never tell me about themselves, but I need very much to know.

With the characteristics you mentioned you actually described a narcissist as a dark empath. Propriety of language is important, though. 🤔

Basically a dark empath is someone who is insincere and manipulative with u when they are using their abilities on you.

I know a guy who my parents and I thought was a psychopath. Now we know he is a dark empath! Thanks!

I share some of these traits, but I have Asperger's so it's a bit hard to tell whether or not I'm a dark empath. I'm very validation driven, and I always feel the need to recieve praise. I can fluctuate from being socially awkward, to being popular and dominating conversations at school. I can understand what's right and wrong, and I follow a sense of morality that my parents raised me on. I've always been competitive, I'd cry whenever I lost a game as a little kid. I had a bit of superiority complex, since I was always told how smart I was. I had trouble focusing though, something that I still struggle with. I felt insecure about my height all the way up until my freshman year in highschool. I had anger issues, and I was sensitive to certain noises. When I was a toddler I constantly screamed, making it hard to take me anywhere. I stopped screaming when I went to preschool. Despite some of the issues I had, I was really popular. I had near perfect grades until middle school. I went from a public school to a private school, and my grades took a huge hit. My self esteem also took a huge hit. I had no friends, and I had nothing to be proud of academically. My grades are better now though. I've always been a perfectionist, that applies to myself, and other people. I've struggled with judging people, based on my concept of moral perfectionism. This has led to me feeling irritation when around certain people. I have also struggled with paranoia. I'm very interested in politics, so I have felt scared about others wanting to undermine me. I fear abandonment, and alienation. I'm very confrontational when it comes to my views being attacked. I lack the refinement that some dark personalities have. On Reddit, I would actively attack subs I didn't agree with. To me, offending certain people felt incredible. It felt liberating to take control, to pop their bubbles. I felt like I was fighting back, I felt like I was making myself heard. I eventually abandoned those habits because I got banned on multiple accounts, on multiple devices, and it just wasn't good for my mental health. It wasn't worth it, and I'm sure it hurt some people. I still haven't changed my views however.

So a Dark Empath is basically the same thing as a Dark Templar.

I need to read more evidence-based studies or peer reviewed articles/journals to confirm that this is even a legit personality trait.

Heyyy how do you know me so well . This is oddly accurate even down to the little things 😳

Great 👍 information 🎉 thanks 😊

Most of us could display a few of these traits .

We are not all dark, we can better humanity tbh. if our goal is the betterment of our existence than just our own self then so be it

Wow...that's me. All of those points are spot on how all my adult life has played out. Lil scared but it is what it is I guess.

Very interesting…. Makes me question certain things. First time I’ve heard of a ‘dark empath’

Bruh I need a therapist after watching this video

I'll call myself a Hopeless Empath. I cannot control sometimes how the emotions of others run through me. If i let anyone down i am severely critical.

This is the most accurate description of my ex that I've found. I always knew he was toxic and narcissistic. But now I understand his game more than ever.

I always feel like I'm surrounded by this kind of people, always trying to bring me down

this is just a subset of the narcissistic spectrum, but was valuable in pointing out the nuances. Helped me better understand the finer points. Thanks.

Let's see all the people saying "literaly me"

I've never understood what I am. I can read people like an open book with large print, but... that's as far as it goes. I've always suspected that there is a subspecies of people that never talked about

Very scary stuff everyone! Keep your head clear!

I talk about dark empaths all the time during tarot card readings this video lines up perfectly with everything I know about them 😎

Tbh, knowing I'm a dark empath doesn't really bother me much, from the people around me and the way I grew up it helped me survive and it's kept me at the top of my life and I don't plan to go back down at any point.

EVERYBODY has empathy. But everybody also lives a different life and certain events can effect and change the way a person reacts to situations. Don’t judge others try to stay loving

I like that the video thumbnail is literally Yujiro Hanma.

Wow, these videos really make u not want to trust anyone 😂

the reason a dark empath is so widely sought for is because we are the best doctors and manifestors and no doctor can argue with us because we mastered psychology. LOVE YOUR SELF!

When I first learned about DE's I realized that the main villain of the Starwar's prequels, Palpatine, was the picture perfect example of one.

Thank you GOD for this video . I just cut one off . What a lesson to be learned

People generally have a range of other people they can empathize with. A lot of their failure to empathize with others might be due to personal bias. They might not like jocks, so they shun them. Or they might not like fraternity brothers, but they can completely identify with another person of the same sex. You only owe most people outside your circle what you can afford to give them. Sometimes I get the feeling that others might see me as a dark empath, but I have given hundreds of dollars to "Doctors without Borders", UNHCR, the Red Cross, and other charities out of a small income. I rarely mention that so openly as I am now. I don't socialize much. I spend most of my time alone in my room. There are people outside my room running me down right now. We have widely divergent visions of how the rest of my life is supposed to be spent. They expect me to have constant sex with older men and give them hundreds of thousands of dollars from the money I make doing that, for no other reason than that they want it. I see me getting a huge award from a legal case concerning THE FACTS of my case and giving most of it to worthy charities. I am in no way a dark empath.

I use to be like that 😂 , I finally stopped doing that 😂 after I went to therapy

I have run into a number of people on VR Chat, that fit most of these perfectly. and explains why i dont feel safe around certain people on there.

And here I always thought I was a sociopath. This makes far more sense, though at the end of the day it's just another label people use to attempt to categorize things and people they feel threatened by. People don't often fit into the neat little boxes we make for them, and I woukd say I'm much more on the benevolent end of this spectrum than it's alternative.
