Have you ever heard of Dark Empath? We hope to bring some insight on this topic. If you want to learn more about the dark triad, we have a video on that too: th-cam.com/video/kvJDkPKbaLE/w-d-xo.html
@undelete this You be in their place, Like bro, dark empaths can take revenge, as a person who was a dark empath when i was realllyyy sadistic before, Its easier for them than you think.
Actually though! It’s why personality disorders can’t be diagnosed until young adulthood. In Adolescence people are going from the evolutionarily necessary full self absorption of early childhood and learning empathy and to grow out of it. It stands to reason that some who are actually quite empathetic haven’t matured enough to use that gift for good. Some will never grow out of it. Some will. But yes, adolescents are genuinely a little more evil.
Empathy means you can understand people. What you do with that ability is whole different story. Edit: a lot of comments here. Seems that i should have specified the difference between cognitive empathy and emotional empathy. But I didn't know when i wrote this comment lol.
not only, it's also feeling what they feel. that's why we talk about cognitive empathy here, it's because you can understand the person but you don't feel it.
"If you notice at the end of every argument or discussion that only their needs are met, they may be manipulating you." -> that's powerful! Fake kindness, manipulation, guilt seeding, malicious humor (to belittle you), spreading rumors. Other than the last one, I've seen the other 4 in some people who I know...
Relationships of personal life r dfrnt types relationships r all based we all. But Outside ppl as service giver taker relationships, strangers unknown ppl fr a while etc we r supposed to b formal humanity holder fr all, may we understand them or not may we feel them or not, they r never own ppl just lawfully using them wth no wrong all humanity, normal.
I am VERY empathical (or however you say it) and will cry at anything remotely sad. I am also very good with knowing emotions and how people respond to different things. I don't abuse these powers in the way a dark empath does, but it is a useful tool to pursade. Edit: The craziest part is that I'm in introvert yet I know more about socializing than some extroverts I know. Please if someone could tell me why that is
I'm not sure but maybe ur observant and since ur an introvert u know what to do while socializing with other people who aren't introverts? I am an introvert too and I'm just like you and this is what I feel but yours might be different idk 😅
Your a latent psychopath, jk. This video is bullshit. Anyone and everyone has good and bad qualities. We are born into a corrupt world and quickly become corrupt ourselves perpetuating the cycle of pain.
No literally same. I've just summed it up to I'm always listening to other people socializing and subconsciously making mental notes. I hate socializing but I can when I need to because I'm always observing interactions between others and how doing or saying a certain thing will result. Thats just what I've come up with cause I've asked myself the same question lol
Being introverted does not necessarily mean being unable to socialize. Having social skills and choosing to socialize or not are two different things. You might have more social skills than an extrovert, but you might not choose to socialize or charge your social battery by spending your time alone. Or you could just be an ambivert.
Introverted or extroverted isn't relevant to being an Empath. In 2007 scientists discovered that when people talk face to face for around 10 minutes, the limbic systems of their brains fall into rhythm with each other. They synchronize. The limbic system is the primary emotional processing/routing/filtering center of the brain. Empaths sync immediately, deeper, and can do it over greater distances. They/we tend to lack the ability to filter extra information...so we get overwhelmed by both happy and negative high energy environments. Some of us love high energy, but we still need a daily retreat to recharge, re-balance. To tell if an emotion is yours or not, someone else's emotions will only be felt in your chest, upper back, shoulders, and maybe back of neck. Your emotions will come from your center of gravity a couple inches below the navel called the Hara or Dan Tien. You will feel it in the hips, abdomen, entire back, chest shoulders, neck and head. Basically your entire torso. From head to your thighs, it's your time to cry. Shoulders and chest belong to the rest. Hope that helps!
@@xavierfrancis2425 for me it's more like I can open up more to people who don't know me or ik I can talk to ig? But like not people who care about me😂
*as a dark empath* i feel the need to nuance this; even though we are capable of the things mentioned in this video, we can still be very functioning. Eg. my parents gave me a VERY strong moral compass, that always guides me back whenever me instincs are malicious. So for me I have the thoughts and understand humans very well, but i dont misuse it since I know its wrong. A big part of me wants to, but I hold back. Im married and have kids and never let my shadows affect those around me. Im also fully transparent with my wife about how my mind works, but she knows that i shut that part down and do what i KNOW is right. and therefore you can still make it work as a dark empath
I think I’m a combination of dark and sorrowful empath. The sorrow is the hardest to deal with. As far as being a dark empath I completely agree with you. It’s always tempting, but you know deep down in your heart that it is wrong and destructive.
Dark Empaths are with a strong moral compass are actually great vs Non-empathic Narcissists and Abusive Personalities. Dark Empaths are the best because they can sense the feelings of those being afflicted and rise to meet the Narcissist head on to protect those they have learned to care about.
@@robertalexstormexactly. A lot of times as a dark empath I can sense and observe when someone is using empathical tactics for personal gain and expose the true intentions.
@@robertalexstormnot only that but sense when something said is going to take a turn for worse on someone specifics emotions and steer it away before it goes there
5 signs of a dark empath: 1. Their kindness often feels fake 2. They manipulate you 3. They guilt trip you 4. They love malicious humor 5. They spread rumors
"They sound forced when giving you compliments." Me who's not used to giving compliments but tries to give it to my friends when they're feeling insecure: 😓😢
The huge difference can be felt in a voice, and it's definitely not the same when someone who is shy gives a compliment, and when a manipulator does it. Don't worry ♡
@@anelliel I see what you mean, but not being used to giving compliments isn’t the same as being shy, though. One can be extroverted and not be accustomed to handing out compliments because of stuff like growing up in a household where that wasn’t the norm. Manipulators are what they are bc they’re good at it. So saying manipulators “sound forced” noticeably could be harmful to people who highkey do force themselves out of their comfort zone in order to compliment their loved ones, ‘cause now it can lead them to question their own motives. And it can push their Loved ones to question their motives too, vice versa.
@@FaerieElethia True! I like your explanation, and thank you for this. Instead of "sound forced" might be better to state that manipulators "sound fake" while giving compliments, but it's really hard to notice since they are good actors.
You'll be fine as long as your intentions are good. People pick up on energy that's why in an instance where someone actually is being malicious, the other person feels uneasy or disconnected from what the manipulator is saying. If you are not doing that they will likely write it off as nerves or nervousness, which is what it is given you are forming a new habit. 😉
I’m actually writing a story about a protagonist exactly like this, but I never realized that this type of thing had a name. This was really interesting and helpful.
@@Amynity i was just about to say: what else am i supposed to do? there is just so many people i dont actually care about but there is this kind of expectation in society to care about people. so you are just nice because you have to be. you dont get by on being snarky and telling people what you think. i dont put up a fascade for malicious intentions, but because its the easy way to navigate life.
@@Thundermikeee Easy way to navigate life ? If everyone is putting up the nice mask and playing it , how do you know who really is nice , who is your friend truly or partner , who can you trust and who uses you ? Dont confuse a civilised coexistence with the illusionary bubble-rainbow world that festers today , it created more anxiety , depression and suffering that the hardest and cruellest parts of our past , and when it pops it will be even more messy .
@@MrOssyan yes easy. to be polite and nice, to smile and to not tell people they are idiots when they are idiots makes life a lot easier. and you can tell by their actions, after all do their motives matter if they support you and have your back? besides the mask doesnt hold up under close inspection. the mask is the " hey how are ya doing? im doing fine too, thanks for asking." type things. or again not saying what you think.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:29 🧠 Dark empaths possess both dark personality traits and empathy, making them capable of using cognitive empathy to manipulate others. 01:57 😔 Dark empaths may appear insincere in their kindness, as they know how to act to seem perfect, but their actions can feel forced or fake. 02:56 🎭 They manipulate through cognitive empathy, using their insight into others' emotions to fulfill their needs and desires. 03:24 😣 Dark empaths often guilt trip others and use guilt as a tactic to get what they want, displaying higher indirect aggression. 03:54 😈 They engage in malicious humor and may make hurtful jokes that belittle others, giving them a sense of superiority. 04:23 🗣 Dark empaths may spread rumors focused on others' insecurities and vulnerabilities to manipulate and exploit them for their own gain. Made with HARPA AI
FYI: not everyone who is a dark empath will act like this. People are not animals and have self-control. Someone with these traits can choose to suppress their urges or act on them just like how someone with anger issues can learn to walk away from confrontation, so can the dark empath learn to behave in non-harmful way. They are not all good or all bad, like everyone else on planet earth. As humans, we all have to ability to think and feel without acting. There is no point in demonizing everyone with a certain characteristic.
You are right. But we should still be cautious. Maybe the Key is to know when they lose to their urges if they are sincerely trying to suppress them. Or correct their bad personality if you can?
@@saltychebs im not sure you understand it right, dark empath means u know what the other person feels but you dont necessarily feel for them so you can act selfishly without remorse and get ur way but some people can decide to not be totally selfish because of awareness they are not sadists who enjoy misery
Woahhhh I feel like I've unlocked a new acheivment... I'm for sure an empath, I can always tell how someone is feeling and when someones upset I almost always know why without even speaking to them about it. I'm also really good at figuring out why people do certain things on a psychological level. I've never even thought about using this info in a bad way but this made me realize its possible... I've always tried to read people so that I can better help them (which has gotten me into really toxic situations cause I've never learned to accept that I can't fix people). It's like being a waterbender. You have the power to heal and the power to control, and its up to you which power you use.
I thought so at first, too, because the first point is a little vague. I personally feel like a lot of empaths are people pleaser, which doesn't mean we aren't sincere, but sometimes it seems blurry in moments of insecurity. BUT I think the following points do make it rather clear. I feel horrible, hurting other people, even if it is an accident and even if it is with people I don't really like. Acting selfish to accomplish sth by consciously hurting others, I couldn't do that. I think that maybe the difference.
The problem with these educational mental health videos is that the traits are very general fairly relatable. This makes it easy for people to ascribe themselves as whatever type of person is described. In short, there's way more than 20% of people in these comments that now think that they're dark empathy. And while some are taking it to a positive direction, saying now they know how to be better now, many are crushed even further with this knowledge. Try to bring this knowledge to the people while also teaching ways to work around, avoid, or heal from these problems
- [0:24] 🌐 Introduction: The video emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness about mental health and psychology, aiming to make them more accessible to everyone. - [0:52] 📊 Understanding Dark Empaths: Dark empaths possess cognitive empathy combined with dark triad traits, making them skilled manipulators who use empathy against others. - [1:57] 🎭 Fake Kindness: Dark empaths may exhibit insincere or forced kindness as they know how to act to appear perfect, but it's essential to look for other signs before labeling someone as a dark empath. - [2:44] 🔄 Manipulation: Dark empaths manipulate others by leveraging their understanding of cognitive empathy to fulfill their own needs without boundaries. - [3:06] 😔 Guilt Tripping: Dark empaths often use guilt as a tactic to manipulate others into meeting their desires, displaying higher indirect aggression. - [3:27] 😈 Malicious Humor: Dark empaths enjoy malicious humor, using hurtful jokes to assert superiority over others, a trait associated with tendentious humor. - [3:52] 🗣 Spreading Rumors: Dark empaths exploit others' weaknesses by spreading rumors focused on their insecurities, leveraging their understanding of others' emotions for manipulation.
I think if someone with a "dark empath" personality knows how to control themselves, they can be the most effective leaders and decision makers. The most dangerous people are often the heavy-hitters in life because they have that darkness within them and know how to use it in the right way.
Especially effective generals and commanders in wars, they know how to use your emotions to motivate you into battle, effective empaths care too much for peoples lives to do that.
I also covered this in another comment here too... You are correct. "Unfortunately... I do have dark empathic traits and have had a history of doing such things. There's a lot more to it though than it just being something we enjoy doing. Or like we do it on purpose. A lot of what happens to make a dark empath is many years of trauma and betrayal, typically in childhood. So please don't try to paint them as a monster like this. It's not as black and white. Years of therapy and introspection can allow a dark empath to center themselves and regain their sense of humanity and worth. A lot of what these traits are projecting is a lack of love of self, so they attempt to mask that self hatred and esteem issues by helping and caring for others, and unfortunately when that fails it results in rejection of failure and accountability. As a dark empath myself, I have learned to understand that the trauma and pain that may dictate my actions can be mended and controlled. You can bring them back away from the toxicity of their habitual coping mechanisms. So please, understand it's much, much more than this." With that said, knowing myself and understanding these traits has definitely allowed me to be a viable leader for those who need a.mentor and someone to help them stand confidently on their own feet. I apply this by being an artist who drives and runs my own community of other artists who have their own issues with self esteem and work accountability. It's useful when you can use these abilities for good. Thank you for understanding.
@@kagaminelen2652 alright, this happened about a year ago, on my freshmen year of highschool. Im a really passive guy so if someone annoys me or physically harms me I usually let them get away with it (except for on 2 occasions). Anyways someone I considered as a friend was in my gym class and we were playing dodgeball, let me tell you a little bit more about this guy, he's kind of a small guy and was on the wrestling team of our highschool, he always acted like he was a badass and would usually do stuff that would physically harm me, I would just tell him off usually as I'm kind of a pushover. Anyways back to the story, we were playing dodgeball and I had a ball in my hand, he kept telling me to give it to him but I didn't and right then the game ended. I said I was sorry and gave him the ball, and unexpectedly he started to walk away with the ball and turned around and whipped the ball full force at my face. When the impact came I saw white, it hit me dead in the nose, now something about me is that I have incredibly bad bloody noses and my nose is extremely sensitive. So my nose started flowing with blood, this got the attention of everyone in the court and the only thing that was on my mind was to not get blood on the court as I know how much work it would be for the janitor, I also knew about the dangers of blood borne pathogens, so I held my nose over my hands to catch all the blood flowing out, I filled both of hands completely with blood before I went with the gym teachers to a place I can get treated. They said I had to let the blood flow until it stopped so I just sat and talked with them, I told them about what happened but a mistake I made was not completely blaming my friend for what happened, anyways we just kept pulling humongous amount of blood clots out of my nose over and over again, another thing to know is that the gym teachers I was with were both football coaches and they had seen their fair share of bloody noses, but they were truly disgusted by the amount of blood coming out of my nose as I could see it on their faces and one said to me "This is the worst bloody nose I have ever seen!" Eventually I was free to go after a while of being in that room as my nose wasn't leaking as badly. I later talked with the kid who threw the dodgeball and told him how pissed I was. He never even said sorry and the only thing to come out of his mouth was "I didn't even throw it that hard". Turns out the school never did anything about it and I don't blame them, it was my fault for not telling them the story straight. Of course my parents were pissed also but I told them its over and done with and there's was no need to complain. I never really got near the guy again understandably. I still had a couple more follow up bloody noses for a week after, I took a picture of one of those follow up bloody noses and still have it in my phone. Anyways that's all I really have to say, I actually had a similar thing happen to me that same year also involving someone throwing something at my face and having a bloody nose, but I would have to write out an essay like this one again. 😅
“Have you met someone who is a dark empath?” Yup. Its called toasty. Its a cat that i live with who likes being pet but when it looks like it wants pets, even rubbing on my leg, when i try to pet it, it scratches my hand badly. I dont like this cat
@Jaden Pereira Nah, I'm sure this channel bases their videos on existing theories in psychology. I don't think this channel is actually making things up. However, I personally find it annoying in general that every little concept or occurrence seems to need a label. I'm admittedly already biased against the term 'empath' since I feel like it's really vague. I mean... almost all of us have empathy. Some may have more than others but how do you measure empathy? When is the 'amount of empathy' enough for someone to be considered an empath? Having terms/labels for every concept in psychology suggests that the human psyche is black and white, and I don't agree with that idea. I think the lines are more blurred than that, and that you can't sort your personality and behavior in little fixed boxes, no matter how good it may feel to put 'empath' in your social media bio. It's just not that simple in my opinion
The way dark empaths are described it seems they are the most dangerous and evil kind of person on earth. More evil and more dangerous than a psychopath whom I consider the most evil kinds of people imaginable. There's no way I can see Shane no matter how fucked up he is as on par to the evilness inside of a psychopath. This person I see fits more of a dark empath would be Mark Zuckerberg. It would finally explain his cognitive dissonant personality though. His genius and his "compassionate humanity" is ultimately bringing down modern day civilization destroying social interactions and replacing it with cheap imitation knock off "social interactions" causing a massive amount of people to display ADHD like traits and stirring vanity and false happiness in people never before seen anywhere in history and its only going to advance as technology grows stronger.
And naturally so. Politicians win election campaigns, after all, by understanding and acting on the feelings of the people. Hence, the winners will usually be high on emotional and cognitive intelligence.
@Attauak Heelioocop I know that, I could never be a politician, the cold blood you need to have to make the decisions they do, to simply sign a letter that will kill hundred of thousands of people for example.
I would say that it is very unlikely. I am quite socially awkward but have a lot of compassion for others. (Neuroatypical here). But just because my interactions might seem more awkward or uncertain does not mean my compassion is false. I am just bad at reading certain social cues, but I am better than I was when I was little. I actually started laughing at a work colleague's story about her work day. I thought she was mock stressed not really stressed and being humorous and mock upset (sort of frustrated but not actually overwhelmed). Later I realized she was not and I apologized and told her I thought she was mock angry...as a form releasing tension. (My brain often finds stuff most people get angry about really silly so sometimes I might inadvertently laugh but that is because sometimes it seems so minor to me.) However, if I know someone is actually upset I feel very stressed for them and will try to cheer them up. I also do not spread rumors. I hate discussing anyone when they are not present unless it is for something positive like a surprise birthday party. But watching this video made me realize a person I used to work with might be a dark empath. Not socially awkward like me - the opposite, in fact - but people told me she was talking about me behind my back and I could infer that she might have been mocking me. But she always seemed so kind to my face. But then things got more complicated and I did not know who to trust. It lead to me getting quite overwhelmed at work and having a panic attack. Sorry. That was longer than I had intended to write.
I knew this was going to make me think of myself and I still felt sick when it did haha. But I can watch in retrospect my empathetic self turn more and more defensive due to familial (and some friendships) abuse. I always had a slapstick trickster sense of humor but only as far as nobody actually getting hurt. As soon as it looked actually painful or the person was in real distress I'd flip right over to crying with them. I've had to commit to choosing sincerity at the expense of a preferred outcome in many situations, but if I'm not on top of myself I can be too strategic to be genuine and I never respect myself when I act that way - I'm always ashamed when I guilt trip or choose my needs over the greater good. Confessing and apologizing outright and then getting to watch people learn to trust you is a very empowering experience because you realize integrity is so much more meaningful. Self-assuring tactics leave you in lonely, strained relationships - you might as well just be alone at that point, or admit blatantly what you're really looking for is help/attention/validation/etc
having empathy sometimes is not being an empath, you're not an empath, no real empath would ever actually say they are because real empaths don't like that burden and wish they didn't have it
i said "my empathetic self", not even "my empathic self" - far from saying "as an empath..." I'm not sure why you felt the need to say "you're not an empath" to a comment like mine nor what that says about _you_ but if you'd paid attention I had carefully sidestepped "i'm An Empath" language bc 1) i don't claim to be and 2) i'm a little critical of the concept if an "empath" as a (diagnosable let alone literal) entity in the first place. All that being said, just like _you_ said, being empathetic is certainly a thing and probably a sufficient enough quality to be able to relate to at least some of this video.
@@skybug1706 it’s not enough, because despite the similarity in root word, the kind of empathy that regular people can experience vs the kind of empathy that empaths experience are worlds apart, and different enough to warrant an entirely different word. Regardless, you’re incredibly misguided if you found this video to be anything but extremely harmful and pandering.
@@skybug1706 the bad faith answer would be a real psych degree, or 3, but unfortunately formal education can be pretty brutal for a lot of people to get their hands on. Pop psych is a cancer on the minds of anyone hoping to understand themselves or anyone else better, because channels like this and websites like psychology today are founded in confirmation bias and a desperate need to feel validated and externalize their toxicity onto others. Ironically enough, what I would start with is google. When you think of topics you are interested in, look up research. Look up numbers, and if you have the patience, read from the DSM-V. It has a lot of clinical language, and it’s not really meant for light reading, but it has some incredibly interesting descriptions and also a rich context provided for every disorder that includes testing methods, comorbidities, false diagnosis tendencies, and a lot more. Getting familiar with the kind of language actual researchers use goes along way in understanding most of the topic of psychology much more meaningfully, and will help you weed out toxic and unhelpful sources in your analysis. For example, if this video were to be your blackpill moment, you might see the word empath and think “how many of those are there in the world? Seems kind of uncommon”, which would lead you to that 2% or less number after a google search and checking out a couple of the sources, then you’d 1: notice the sheer amount of people claiming they are empaths or dark empaths in the comments, and 2: notice that the language they use is almost copy pasted from each other. This is not because they’re empaths all experiencing each others consciousness at the same time, it’s because they’re all the same kind of toxic person getting their confirmation bias tickled. You might not be one of them, maybe I went way too hard on you, but take a second to look around you and see the company you’re keeping. These people are unhinged. Sorry for the novel.
I'm sorry to tell you that I have two Infjs in my life that I'm really close with, one of them is such a sweetheart, while another manipulate things or situations and people for their own convenience and what best accommodate their current situation . No one knows about this ofcourse I only know because the person actually told me that side of them. So I don't think type actually matters.
Me an INTJ watching this,I have scored moderate to high on the dark triad traits on multiple tests,am high in cognitive empathy too,low in compassionate & affective empathy,but the characteristic features that this video narrated as typical to be displayed by a dark empath isn't like me at all,in fact I try to be as sincere as possible when comforting the people I care about,I'd probably know exactly how to manipulate someone in a situation but simply wouldn't,as my Fi would consider it wrong & I wouldn't do it until it was my only resort🤔 Neither would I indulge in employing guilt trips,malicious humor or spreading rumors(absolutely nasty,my Fi would be against it and my Te simply would consider it inefficient use of time & effort)
@@pb8301 a fellow INTJ, love to see it. That’s the point, we know how to, but we don’t, we spend too much time thinking how we could do this, but we actually do, when someone who was once close, turns toxic, then we use the information we have gathered to make a attack on them lmaoooo. But spend too much time thinking instead
Everyone has intentions. So with empathy it is easier to pursuit the own goals. It is a gift to have empathy and borders. A real empathy is no fake person. Empathy means feel for others.

A true understanding of the psychology of emotion means two things. One, you know exactly how to relate to others and help them out in times of need. ...and two, you know exactly how to mess with their emotions in incredibly subtle ways in order to get what you want. You must use this power responsibly, lest you become a Dark Empath.
Dark empath: displays empathy but uses it against you 1. Their kindness feels fake 2. They manipulate you 3. They guilt trip you 4. They love malicious humor 5. They spread rumors

@@feles_cat Q: Why don’t people in the Middle East teach Driver’s Education and Sex Education on the same day? A: They don’t want to wear out the Camel.
I believe an empath can be changed into a dark empath if they’ve absorbed enough negative energy that they’ve been dealing with and basically give up caring about others at that point.
I believe I used to be a bit of a dark empath. I could easily read other's emotions, their feelings, and used it to my own advantage to get at them. Worked like a charm, got extremely close, really got to know them deep down. Some people just can't resist spilling a few secrets to a close friend, you know? I used everything I gained from them, lying, deception, manipulation, the works. Nothing extremely serious, just rumor spreading and relationship troubles, no lives in danger. Couple years later, started to see how bad that was. It was pretty harsh sometimes which seemed to be entertaining for me back then. I've emotionally matured a lot more, and now I'm just trying to make some close friends, I strive to be that friend that you can talk to about anything, they'll comfort you the best way they can, the kind of friends that your grateful for and make you happy. I realized that makes me more happy inside then the other stuff. I'm doing a lot of stuff I used to do for bad things, getting close to people, knowing their emotions, etc. But I just want to genuinely be close to them in a good way now. Might make up for all the bad stuff too. interesting video :>
In the first half of your comment I hated you Now I don't Hate and I'm happy your trying to be better I know for a fact how harmful your actions must've been cuz I've gone through that with other people Even if lives weren't in danger, relationships must've been destroyed So it's not a small thing I'm not saying drown in guilt I'm pointing how bad it must've been to them and u must not have even realized the true extent I'm happy your changing now pls don't stop 😊
What you are trying to do is what I try to accomplish as well, I gain my satisfaction by the trust that people give me, it makes me feel important. They get the feeling of being understood, good solutions to problems, comfort, advice and the likes
literally anyone ever can realize peoples feelings and use it against them. its even a propaganda tactic. its literally everywhere. theres babies seperated from their parents at the border. ok maybe they are terrible parents for putting their kids through that maybe they are seeking a better life. use the emotional response to propagandize one view or another. divide the voters into teams of speculative bullshit
It's not a medical term to begin with. The worst thing the teens who watch this channel could do is spreading it around as a real thing. not even acting as an armchair psychiatrist.
If memory serves me right... Both are youtubers. Jeffrery is known as a beauty guru. He also sell makeup as well (aside doing review etc). Shane is... Well I'm not sure which he stands for in the TH-cam categories. But you two can look them up. There are some article and blogs about them.... Though just be aware that there are a mixed crowds on their... Friendliness and Likability. Take it as you well... 😅
The thing is, Shane had shouted up and down about how he was an empath, how empathetic he was, how hard it was to be an empath, etc, in multiple videos, especially during his "documentaries" or "apologies". Jeffree has never, too my knowledge, directly made the claim. That's why Shane comes to mind first. They're both very dark personalities and manipulators, however. And they both know just how to work their fans.
Plottwist: The narrator is Dark Empath. She is trying to manipulate you, to not trust your friends... Joke aside. Interesting to have this video in my recommendation...
Could be a possibility! She is famous for gaslighting as well. You should look up the “Cinema Therapy” channel about their Tangled review. It’s really well done :)
My sister seems like this, just because she’s only a decent person to anyone not related to her. She is close to a cousin of mine but also treats her badly to the point where my cousin got sick of it and cut ties to her as an adult. Real shame too, as they grew up together and I always thought she liked my cousin.
My ex was kinda similar. I remember everytime id visit her shed be yelling her guts off at her brother. She was extremely violent verbally to him. She would rarely ever talk in a normal tone when saying something to him, like shes always annoyed by him. I remember watching a movie with her in the living room and he wanted to join but she would constantly kick him out. I really hated that, partially cos i remember when i was younger i know i liked spending time with my older sisters friends when they come over. She was definitely the people pleaser type, like she bends over backwards to help you with something or to show you she loves you
@@rotmgdabeatz What if her brother was just an extremely anoying person & otherwise she was an empathetic person that liked to help people~ just not all people
I really hate the fact that I used to be very manipulative and just overall toxic. I luckily realized how hurtful I was being after experiencing it first hand in a relationship, and immediately took a few steps back. I went to therapy for a while which really helped me see myself and other people much more differently, and at one point I went personally to every person that I used to be close to, but I was very toxic towards, and actually apologize and try to make up to them. I wasn’t sad/angry when they turned it down, because I know how hard it is to trust someone after they manipulated you, and hurt you. I’m really in an amazing place now, and I’m so happy that people actually enjoy being around me, and genuinely like and respect me. I have way more kind and caring friends around me, and I feel like I can also give as much as possible to them in a healthy way, and vise versa. Sorry for going on this rant, but getting out of this manipulative and toxic mindset was one of the best things that I have personally accomplished
I am hearing dark empath for the first time and understood it as a personality type and didn't know it can be changed! May I ask, how long did it take to change you?
I very much dislike empathy. As long as I can remember, I’ve “absorbed “ the feelings of around those around me; therefore, I’ve spent a great deal of time being that guy that everyone comes to when they feel down. It’s hard when you feel sad around so many sad people. It also leaves you open to manipulation.
I’ve learned to never put too much of a burden of someone else’s problem on your shoulders from past experiences. You’d be surprised as to how much people really don’t care about your problems, even when they express it. Also the same ppl you sympathize for are rarely on your side when it is your time of need. Know your worth and try not to compromise yourself to hard for others bro Ik exactly how u feel. I was that guy in the past but no more
Yeah man. It doesn't pay off. I've been that guy for some time now, ever since I realized that I should be doing something to help people around me...but then my wife and I caught covid and this old friend stopped talking to me because I couldn't bring myself to listen to and fix some tiff they were having with their partner and friends. I was like how the hell does that sound like something I'll deal with when I've got my wife to keep alive? Regardless, it makes me happy to do this as long as I can spot these a-holes and avoid them.
You can learn to turn it off, your ability, but it means that sometimes you gotta be an a-hole to be able to 'protect' yourself. If you can do that without later feeling guilty about it, bonus! You can't be everyone's sponge, but you already know that!
Just cos someone seems like he forces himself into complimenting you doesn't mean they are dark empaths...they might as well be shy when it comes to these things and whenever they try to say something nice, they cringe or feel very vulnerable in that moment that it comes out as not sincere. Or some people have even hard time actually "feeling" the emotion, they are in a happy state, but they're not particularly excited about it, everything feels flat or numb for them, so a compliment from such person might seem like they're not really feeling it, they're just saying it cos that's what you wanna hear. And that's also hurtful to *them*.
its just kinda annoying that even my own friend thinks im being fake when truth is that im just uncomfortable and trying to be polite so the words or actions i show comes out stiff..
I know this feeling way too much, I’ve been called fake because I tried being more excited about giving compliments, I did genuinely want this person to feel better but I guess I tried too hard
Having only the ability to sense “cognitive empathy” is the same as never knowing what it’s truly like to have the emotion. It’s still a numb way to go through life. Same as faking that you actually care.
This was totally me for a long time. I would use manipulation to lie to people around me or I would manipulate them in other ways. I read a book called "The Road Less Traveled" and it completely changed my perspective. I realized that seeing others perspectives and wanting what's best for them is what's best. I'm doing better now although my dark empathy still comes up from time to time
Yes. I also think regular empatha can be quite manipulative. It can be simple things like always being the person who gets their way and you don't even notice. That's something I'm working on right now because I don't manipulate on purpose just always suggest things when people have no ideas
i think anti-social empath is a much better title. Dark empath sounds like some sort of young adult novel super power lol. Yes if your both empathetic and anti-social it can be hard not to manipulate people, mindfulness is key it’s good your recognize it.
I made this for anybody who doesn’t have time to watch the video 1: their kindness feels fake 2: they manipulate you 3: They guilt trip you 4: they love malicious humor 5: they spread rumors I hope this helped :D
John 3:16 New International Version 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 3:23 New International Version 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 10:9-10 New International Version 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
These are ALL narcisstic traits. "Dark empath" may not be the best descriptor of someone with these traits. Personally, I don't see the label "dark empath" as a valid label.
I've always known I was a dark person, and known exactly how to read people. However, I make an active choice to never misuse it because I hate hurting people. *With great power, comes great responsibility.*

Right! They could’ve just said the greater narc VS. the SUPER EMPATH instead of using new fake terms. The only “dark side” of the empath is when we FINALLY decide to stick up for ourselves and others going into supernova mode! We have to then turn the narcissist tactics back onto them as a mirror for their own insecurities with the element of surprise that the narcissist didn’t know we were capable of causing MAJOR narc injuries so bad they won’t even want to return! They just run off to new supply instead of healing themselves by facing their true selves after soul fragmentation.
@@moodyringtarotllc1624 this description is spot on. Like my last relationship, my narc couldn’t BELIEVE I would leave him And give up so completely and utterly overnight after years of tolerance and blind love
@@MP-ut6eb yeahh theyre not too kind to be sure, so perhaps quite the fitting name.I donot believe i am acting superior as that would require me to think i was good or amazing where in alot of different ways on a daily basis im very much struggling to improve myself, there are several tests you can have done and if youre truthful then it should be showing signs of how much of dark personal trait cluster is in you and mine came out 0,3% so Im definitely alot less than perfect but i am not in any way mean, i enjoy helping most people and animals i meet. Also I generally dont take much part in name calling but people with npd can cause some serious harm in the lives of others though i do mostly feel bad for them as they to some extent are hollow and can never fully feel love, unless they seek treatment or try to selfimprove, im codependent and empathic, and no as it is rn im quite far removed from being anything dark, but i do hope i never will get closer as well. Also even an asshole can call another asshole an asshole, and even a good person can once in a blue moon call someone else that even without putting themselves on a pedestal, as we are all merely human and most of us mess up on a daily basis in a multitude of ways, much definitely myself included sadly.
I am experiencing the aftermath of such personality in current working life. Operating ups and downs without my notice until my responsibilities were snatched away and transferred to her. Pretending to be a caring person for her ultimate purposes. By the way, dark empathy has strong correlation to levels of IQ and EQ. Need to be aware of one with very good academic records and abnormally strong sense of empathy. However, not everyone with these signs are dark empathy. Continuous monitoring would be a way to find out.
You mean narcissist. Dark empaths aren't real. As a narcissist, you want to believe you're this cool sounding thing, because well, you're a narcissist. The term dark empath isn't a real clinical term. Now please stop self diagnosing. It makes you look silly.

This is only scratching the surface... or trying to There are a lot of people with different circumstances that might end up being kind, but sounding shallow... because of their own trauma and insecurities.
I know this feeling all too well. Like trying to compliment someone just to be told that you’re only doing it to boost your own ego really sucks, like obviously that’s always going to be a factor but I believe if you’re trying to make someone feel better because it’s the right thing to do then that’s great, but if you’re doing it just to feel better about yourself that’s just wrong. The grey area is when you’re doing something because it’s the right thing but you’re afraid that if you keep doing it, you’ll grow into the kind of person that only helps others for their gain. I think that would be an interesting topic to cover.
@@thedolphinlover4859 What about a person like me, whom helps others because other's well-being will eventually help my well-being, but I also feel good helping people? I help others for personal gain, AND to feel good about myself doing so, plus they enjoy it as well.
@@thedolphinlover4859 You're conflating a certain philosophy (altruism) with psychology. To understand what Dark Empath meant is not to just treat it like a thou shalt text. Don't think just because the intention is "selfish" that you're gonna assume that a person is bad or that its a sign of a dark empath. Its way more complicated than that, your take on it is too dogmatic and is really gonna affect your entire view in Psych, just like so many people. First, leave your philosophy of selfless = good, selfish = bad outside the door, and instead define the goal as: To Understand Behavior > which is what Psychology was supposed to be about (thanks to american politics and shitty psych EXPERTS for degrading that) Dark Empath is supposed to be a bridge between Psychopathy and Typicals. Remember Psych treats these idea as Typicals vs Atypicals (not good vs evil) Empath Typicals falls to certain categories (Physical, Emotional, Animal, Plant...) It means that a dark empath is fully capable of sensing and feeling any of these, and if needed be they can adapt psychopathy. Now that you understand that, let's get back to our main goal, identifying them: First, let's define psychopathy, specifically adaptive psychopathy: Natural lack of remorse/guilt + inability to tend to other certain feelings (original definition, not the random bullshit from psych blogs) The adaptive version of this being that: these traits shows under certain circumstances. And i hate giving examples because people take this out of context every damn time but here: Edmund Kemper murdered his grandparents as a child and was sent to juvenile, not long he was observed to be showing perfect typical behaviour and was released by psychiatrists when he turned adult. This trait will be seen with every victim he met before proceeding to continue his murder spree. The reason? Because he really has empathy but to tend to his disturbed past he could adapt psychopathic behavior to carry out what he did. Notice that to identify DE is to identify genuine empathy and then identify psychopathy. This comes in phases: Typicality -> Impulsive/Premeditated Amoral Action -> Signs of Psychopathy. Remember this could literally have nothing to do with selfishness or feeling good about oneself, Psychopaths don't feel good, they feel less, hence their immoral actions are often pleasure seeking. If you understood what i said, you'll realize that it has no connection to the idea that *to feel good about oneself* is wrong, neither is this about the intention or manipulation: a psychopath could pretend to be typical but in realiry they're being cunning and manipulative, but a Dark Empath may not be pretending. (doesn't also disregard the fact that they could) So, even if you feel a person is being shallow with compliments in order to feel good about themselves, remember this falls under typical behaviour. (which i despise philosophically, not all typicals are good) If what your pretense here is your philosophy then fine, but just be informed please. Psychology is full of idiots who've turned this field upside down, I'm working on an abstract to slam all of these false pretenses that has been pushed within the field which is mind numbing people.
I may come off as agressive here but remember I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Psych Experts who've turned to blog writing and create these random D&D types of lore on well established psychological topics, and confusing everyone. Remember, there are people with credibility who does this often to get clicks or support from political figures.
Yes, i have a dark empath classmate. As I soon study psychology I was starting to notice her dark empathy personality and being manipulative. She spread rumors around of me and my group of friends. Others believe and fear her because they thought she's "fearless."
I think you're onto something there. I never really liked among us and could only be persuaded into playing it once and the whole time it just felt SO uncomfortable. Maybe if you're not a dark empath, witnessing this game so blantanly reveal the other people's tendencies is quite upsetting.
@@Xevailo Not quite. Remember that the game is in a purely competitive format. You cannot put people into competition without any consequences and expect a happy love circle. It is competition which brings out more aggressive traits by it's very nature. That game (I'm not a fan of it either) simply puts the competition on your ability to blend in and deflect blame and suspicion. No, you want to see a better representation of this? Play "telephone" with people and they have to walk room to room, or whatever it takes to tell the story out of earshot AND without everyone else knowing who is passing things along. You only know who told you, and who you told, that is it...the rest of the chain is unknown. You allow it to circle, not in a single direction. Malicious humor will appear in such a situation. Or, have someone play a game with morality in it as themselves. The truly good people will tend to only take the 'evil' options when they make sense...kill the guy that killed your sibling for example. The more malicious will either go pure 'good' thinking it will look better as their test result, or will follow the directions but as you review the playthrough, you will notice them killing characters that aren't part of the story simply because they can, or always choosing the 'less' evil options while always choosing the major 'good' options. The catch of all of this is, there are no other people interacting with them. You take competition out of it. As there are too many that 'need to win' and will thus simply do whatever is needed to win any game, such as Among Us. They thrive on competition.

Actually though! It’s why personality disorders can’t be diagnosed until young adulthood.
In Adolescence people are going from the evolutionarily necessary full self absorption of early childhood and learning empathy and to grow out of it.
It stands to reason that some who are actually quite empathetic haven’t matured enough to use that gift for good.
Some will never grow out of it. Some will.
But yes, adolescents are genuinely a little more evil.

I am VERY empathical (or however you say it) and will cry at anything remotely sad. I am also very good with knowing emotions and how people respond to different things. I don't abuse these powers in the way a dark empath does, but it is a useful tool to pursade.
Edit: The craziest part is that I'm in introvert yet I know more about socializing than some extroverts I know. Please if someone could tell me why that is
I'm not sure but maybe ur observant and since ur an introvert u know what to do while socializing with other people who aren't introverts?
I am an introvert too and I'm just like you and this is what I feel but yours might be different idk 😅
Your a latent psychopath, jk. This video is bullshit. Anyone and everyone has good and bad qualities. We are born into a corrupt world and quickly become corrupt ourselves perpetuating the cycle of pain.
No literally same. I've just summed it up to I'm always listening to other people socializing and subconsciously making mental notes. I hate socializing but I can when I need to because I'm always observing interactions between others and how doing or saying a certain thing will result. Thats just what I've come up with cause I've asked myself the same question lol
Being introverted does not necessarily mean being unable to socialize. Having social skills and choosing to socialize or not are two different things. You might have more social skills than an extrovert, but you might not choose to socialize or charge your social battery by spending your time alone. Or you could just be an ambivert.
Introverted or extroverted isn't relevant to being an Empath. In 2007 scientists discovered that when people talk face to face for around 10 minutes, the limbic systems of their brains fall into rhythm with each other. They synchronize. The limbic system is the primary emotional processing/routing/filtering center of the brain.
Empaths sync immediately, deeper, and can do it over greater distances. They/we tend to lack the ability to filter extra information...so we get overwhelmed by both happy and negative high energy environments. Some of us love high energy, but we still need a daily retreat to recharge, re-balance.
To tell if an emotion is yours or not, someone else's emotions will only be felt in your chest, upper back, shoulders, and maybe back of neck.
Your emotions will come from your center of gravity a couple inches below the navel called the Hara or Dan Tien. You will feel it in the hips, abdomen, entire back, chest shoulders, neck and head. Basically your entire torso.
From head to your thighs, it's your time to cry.
Shoulders and chest belong to the rest.
Hope that helps!

*as a dark empath* i feel the need to nuance this; even though we are capable of the things mentioned in this video, we can still be very functioning. Eg. my parents gave me a VERY strong moral compass, that always guides me back whenever me instincs are malicious. So for me I have the thoughts and understand humans very well, but i dont misuse it since I know its wrong. A big part of me wants to, but I hold back. Im married and have kids and never let my shadows affect those around me. Im also fully transparent with my wife about how my mind works, but she knows that i shut that part down and do what i KNOW is right. and therefore you can still make it work as a dark empath
I think I’m a combination of dark and sorrowful empath. The sorrow is the hardest to deal with. As far as being a dark empath I completely agree with you. It’s always tempting, but you know deep down in your heart that it is wrong and destructive.
Dark Empaths are with a strong moral compass are actually great vs Non-empathic Narcissists and Abusive Personalities. Dark Empaths are the best because they can sense the feelings of those being afflicted and rise to meet the Narcissist head on to protect those they have learned to care about.

The huge difference can be felt in a voice, and it's definitely not the same when someone who is shy gives a compliment, and when a manipulator does it. Don't worry ♡
@@anelliel I see what you mean, but not being used to giving compliments isn’t the same as being shy, though. One can be extroverted and not be accustomed to handing out compliments because of stuff like growing up in a household where that wasn’t the norm. Manipulators are what they are bc they’re good at it. So saying manipulators “sound forced” noticeably could be harmful to people who highkey do force themselves out of their comfort zone in order to compliment their loved ones, ‘cause now it can lead them to question their own motives. And it can push their Loved ones to question their motives too, vice versa.
@@FaerieElethia True! I like your explanation, and thank you for this. Instead of "sound forced" might be better to state that manipulators "sound fake" while giving compliments, but it's really hard to notice since they are good actors.
And now after watching this video your friends might start to think you have malicious intents..
You'll be fine as long as your intentions are good. People pick up on energy that's why in an instance where someone actually is being malicious, the other person feels uneasy or disconnected from what the manipulator is saying. If you are not doing that they will likely write it off as nerves or nervousness, which is what it is given you are forming a new habit. 😉
An empath is someone who believes the thoughts in their head are indicative of other people’s feelings or emotions. Run!
No. It’s someone who is sensitive to other people’s feelings and empathizes with their pain.

@@pragyachauhan705 you are welcome. It's a bad joke, but I'm glad a it made someone happy.
@@thomasgormly6941 oh I just find it relatable... Although I'd rather kill myself than to hurt others in any form... So yeah ✌🏻
@@pragyachauhan705 it was an old joke out of dark satire, but after dealing with people in 2020.... I've had my benevolent type empathy tested.
FYI: not everyone who is a dark empath will act like this. People are not animals and have self-control. Someone with these traits can choose to suppress their urges or act on them just like how someone with anger issues can learn to walk away from confrontation, so can the dark empath learn to behave in non-harmful way. They are not all good or all bad, like everyone else on planet earth. As humans, we all have to ability to think and feel without acting. There is no point in demonizing everyone with a certain characteristic.
This is an important comment.
You are right. But we should still be cautious.
Maybe the Key is to know when they lose to their urges if they are sincerely trying to suppress them.
Or correct their bad personality if you can?
Right. Using your powers for good and whatnot.
@@saltychebs im not sure you understand it right, dark empath means u know what the other person feels but you dont necessarily feel for them so you can act selfishly without remorse and get ur way but some people can decide to not be totally selfish because of awareness they are not sadists who enjoy misery

@@EtemonReal Facts
Woahhhh I feel like I've unlocked a new acheivment... I'm for sure an empath, I can always tell how someone is feeling and when someones upset I almost always know why without even speaking to them about it. I'm also really good at figuring out why people do certain things on a psychological level. I've never even thought about using this info in a bad way but this made me realize its possible... I've always tried to read people so that I can better help them (which has gotten me into really toxic situations cause I've never learned to accept that I can't fix people). It's like being a waterbender. You have the power to heal and the power to control, and its up to you which power you use.

BUT I think the following points do make it rather clear.
I feel horrible, hurting other people, even if it is an accident and even if it is with people I don't really like.
Acting selfish to accomplish sth by consciously hurting others, I couldn't do that.
I think that maybe the difference.

The problem with these educational mental health videos is that the traits are very general fairly relatable. This makes it easy for people to ascribe themselves as whatever type of person is described. In short, there's way more than 20% of people in these comments that now think that they're dark empathy. And while some are taking it to a positive direction, saying now they know how to be better now, many are crushed even further with this knowledge.
Try to bring this knowledge to the people while also teaching ways to work around, avoid, or heal from these problems

Now I'm thinking if I can make a character in a tabletop RPG who is a dark empath AND a diplomat.
I think if someone with a "dark empath" personality knows how to control themselves, they can be the most effective leaders and decision makers. The most dangerous people are often the heavy-hitters in life because they have that darkness within them and know how to use it in the right way.
exactly.
Most effective leaders are prob like this
Especially effective generals and commanders in wars, they know how to use your emotions to motivate you into battle, effective empaths care too much for peoples lives to do that.
Well what am I an Angel, i can't control my shit and can't even social (well I'm noisy in internet) but srly am i an angel?
I also covered this in another comment here too... You are correct.
"Unfortunately... I do have dark empathic traits and have had a history of doing such things. There's a lot more to it though than it just being something we enjoy doing. Or like we do it on purpose. A lot of what happens to make a dark empath is many years of trauma and betrayal, typically in childhood.
So please don't try to paint them as a monster like this. It's not as black and white. Years of therapy and introspection can allow a dark empath to center themselves and regain their sense of humanity and worth. A lot of what these traits are projecting is a lack of love of self, so they attempt to mask that self hatred and esteem issues by helping and caring for others, and unfortunately when that fails it results in rejection of failure and accountability.
As a dark empath myself, I have learned to understand that the trauma and pain that may dictate my actions can be mended and controlled. You can bring them back away from the toxicity of their habitual coping mechanisms.
So please, understand it's much, much more than this."
With that said, knowing myself and understanding these traits has definitely allowed me to be a viable leader for those who need a.mentor and someone to help them stand confidently on their own feet. I apply this by being an artist who drives and runs my own community of other artists who have their own issues with self esteem and work accountability.
It's useful when you can use these abilities for good. Thank you for understanding.

I have a story that relates very well to this comment.
@@phoenixflame6048 go on, I will listen if you want
@@kagaminelen2652 alright, this happened about a year ago, on my freshmen year of highschool. Im a really passive guy so if someone annoys me or physically harms me I usually let them get away with it (except for on 2 occasions). Anyways someone I considered as a friend was in my gym class and we were playing dodgeball, let me tell you a little bit more about this guy, he's kind of a small guy and was on the wrestling team of our highschool, he always acted like he was a badass and would usually do stuff that would physically harm me, I would just tell him off usually as I'm kind of a pushover. Anyways back to the story, we were playing dodgeball and I had a ball in my hand, he kept telling me to give it to him but I didn't and right then the game ended. I said I was sorry and gave him the ball, and unexpectedly he started to walk away with the ball and turned around and whipped the ball full force at my face. When the impact came I saw white, it hit me dead in the nose, now something about me is that I have incredibly bad bloody noses and my nose is extremely sensitive. So my nose started flowing with blood, this got the attention of everyone in the court and the only thing that was on my mind was to not get blood on the court as I know how much work it would be for the janitor, I also knew about the dangers of blood borne pathogens, so I held my nose over my hands to catch all the blood flowing out, I filled both of hands completely with blood before I went with the gym teachers to a place I can get treated. They said I had to let the blood flow until it stopped so I just sat and talked with them, I told them about what happened but a mistake I made was not completely blaming my friend for what happened, anyways we just kept pulling humongous amount of blood clots out of my nose over and over again, another thing to know is that the gym teachers I was with were both football coaches and they had seen their fair share of bloody noses, but they were truly disgusted by the amount of blood coming out of my nose as I could see it on their faces and one said to me "This is the worst bloody nose I have ever seen!" Eventually I was free to go after a while of being in that room as my nose wasn't leaking as badly. I later talked with the kid who threw the dodgeball and told him how pissed I was. He never even said sorry and the only thing to come out of his mouth was "I didn't even throw it that hard". Turns out the school never did anything about it and I don't blame them, it was my fault for not telling them the story straight. Of course my parents were pissed also but I told them its over and done with and there's was no need to complain. I never really got near the guy again understandably. I still had a couple more follow up bloody noses for a week after, I took a picture of one of those follow up bloody noses and still have it in my phone. Anyways that's all I really have to say, I actually had a similar thing happen to me that same year also involving someone throwing something at my face and having a bloody nose, but I would have to write out an essay like this one again. 😅

@@Helenavanthof i mean just bc you haven’t heard of this stuff or met ppl like they’re explaining in the video doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
@Jaden Pereira Nah, I'm sure this channel bases their videos on existing theories in psychology. I don't think this channel is actually making things up. However, I personally find it annoying in general that every little concept or occurrence seems to need a label. I'm admittedly already biased against the term 'empath' since I feel like it's really vague. I mean... almost all of us have empathy. Some may have more than others but how do you measure empathy? When is the 'amount of empathy' enough for someone to be considered an empath?
Having terms/labels for every concept in psychology suggests that the human psyche is black and white, and I don't agree with that idea. I think the lines are more blurred than that, and that you can't sort your personality and behavior in little fixed boxes, no matter how good it may feel to put 'empath' in your social media bio. It's just not that simple in my opinion
@Yuziferry yeah you're right everybody is unique to your own way

socially awkward empaths after watching this: are we the baddies?
literally me, i feel so bad whenever i do something to hurt someone though, i really dont want to be one of these people they sound awful.
I would say that it is very unlikely. I am quite socially awkward but have a lot of compassion for others. (Neuroatypical here).
But just because my interactions might seem more awkward or uncertain does not mean my compassion is false. I am just bad at reading certain social cues, but I am better than I was when I was little. I actually started laughing at a work colleague's story about her work day. I thought she was mock stressed not really stressed and being humorous and mock upset (sort of frustrated but not actually overwhelmed). Later I realized she was not and I apologized and told her I thought she was mock angry...as a form releasing tension. (My brain often finds stuff most people get angry about really silly so sometimes I might inadvertently laugh but that is because sometimes it seems so minor to me.) However, if I know someone is actually upset I feel very stressed for them and will try to cheer them up. I also do not spread rumors. I hate discussing anyone when they are not present unless it is for something positive like a surprise birthday party. But watching this video made me realize a person I used to work with might be a dark empath. Not socially awkward like me - the opposite, in fact - but people told me she was talking about me behind my back and I could infer that she might have been mocking me. But she always seemed so kind to my face. But then things got more complicated and I did not know who to trust. It lead to me getting quite overwhelmed at work and having a panic attack.
Sorry. That was longer than I had intended to write.

@@myajanette Dude I'm so conflicted as to whether or not I hate him tho
I was looking for this
which shane?
I knew this was going to make me think of myself and I still felt sick when it did haha. But I can watch in retrospect my empathetic self turn more and more defensive due to familial (and some friendships) abuse. I always had a slapstick trickster sense of humor but only as far as nobody actually getting hurt. As soon as it looked actually painful or the person was in real distress I'd flip right over to crying with them. I've had to commit to choosing sincerity at the expense of a preferred outcome in many situations, but if I'm not on top of myself I can be too strategic to be genuine and I never respect myself when I act that way - I'm always ashamed when I guilt trip or choose my needs over the greater good. Confessing and apologizing outright and then getting to watch people learn to trust you is a very empowering experience because you realize integrity is so much more meaningful. Self-assuring tactics leave you in lonely, strained relationships - you might as well just be alone at that point, or admit blatantly what you're really looking for is help/attention/validation/etc
having empathy sometimes is not being an empath, you're not an empath, no real empath would ever actually say they are because real empaths don't like that burden and wish they didn't have it
i said "my empathetic self", not even "my empathic self" - far from saying "as an empath..." I'm not sure why you felt the need to say "you're not an empath" to a comment like mine nor what that says about _you_ but if you'd paid attention I had carefully sidestepped "i'm An Empath" language bc 1) i don't claim to be and 2) i'm a little critical of the concept if an "empath" as a (diagnosable let alone literal) entity in the first place. All that being said, just like _you_ said, being empathetic is certainly a thing and probably a sufficient enough quality to be able to relate to at least some of this video.
@@skybug1706 it’s not enough, because despite the similarity in root word, the kind of empathy that regular people can experience vs the kind of empathy that empaths experience are worlds apart, and different enough to warrant an entirely different word. Regardless, you’re incredibly misguided if you found this video to be anything but extremely harmful and pandering.
where would you suggest I educate myself?
@@skybug1706 the bad faith answer would be a real psych degree, or 3, but unfortunately formal education can be pretty brutal for a lot of people to get their hands on. Pop psych is a cancer on the minds of anyone hoping to understand themselves or anyone else better, because channels like this and websites like psychology today are founded in confirmation bias and a desperate need to feel validated and externalize their toxicity onto others. Ironically enough, what I would start with is google. When you think of topics you are interested in, look up research. Look up numbers, and if you have the patience, read from the DSM-V. It has a lot of clinical language, and it’s not really meant for light reading, but it has some incredibly interesting descriptions and also a rich context provided for every disorder that includes testing methods, comorbidities, false diagnosis tendencies, and a lot more. Getting familiar with the kind of language actual researchers use goes along way in understanding most of the topic of psychology much more meaningfully, and will help you weed out toxic and unhelpful sources in your analysis. For example, if this video were to be your blackpill moment, you might see the word empath and think “how many of those are there in the world? Seems kind of uncommon”, which would lead you to that 2% or less number after a google search and checking out a couple of the sources, then you’d 1: notice the sheer amount of people claiming they are empaths or dark empaths in the comments, and 2: notice that the language they use is almost copy pasted from each other. This is not because they’re empaths all experiencing each others consciousness at the same time, it’s because they’re all the same kind of toxic person getting their confirmation bias tickled. You might not be one of them, maybe I went way too hard on you, but take a second to look around you and see the company you’re keeping. These people are unhinged. Sorry for the novel.
I feel bad but i gotta admit. When that Dark Empath dude drilled the other person with the red ball i bust out laughing. I just wasnt expecting that.

Doesn't make them any less responsible for their actions.
Agreed
Doesn't make sense to me. True empath can't be changed into dark empath. That's not the movie where kind character becomes an evil one.
@@georgegvelukashvili6097 you're assuming the commenters in this channel are +19 y/o
@@georgegvelukashvili6097 Well you have to be an empath to understand complex feelings otherwise your just "DARK" without the empath.
I believe I used to be a bit of a dark empath. I could easily read other's emotions, their feelings, and used it to my own advantage to get at them. Worked like a charm, got extremely close, really got to know them deep down. Some people just can't resist spilling a few secrets to a close friend, you know? I used everything I gained from them, lying, deception, manipulation, the works. Nothing extremely serious, just rumor spreading and relationship troubles, no lives in danger. Couple years later, started to see how bad that was. It was pretty harsh sometimes which seemed to be entertaining for me back then. I've emotionally matured a lot more, and now I'm just trying to make some close friends, I strive to be that friend that you can talk to about anything, they'll comfort you the best way they can, the kind of friends that your grateful for and make you happy. I realized that makes me more happy inside then the other stuff. I'm doing a lot of stuff I used to do for bad things, getting close to people, knowing their emotions, etc. But I just want to genuinely be close to them in a good way now. Might make up for all the bad stuff too. interesting video :>
In the first half of your comment I hated you
Now I don't Hate and I'm happy your trying to be better
I know for a fact how harmful your actions must've been cuz I've gone through that with other people
Even if lives weren't in danger, relationships must've been destroyed
So it's not a small thing
I'm not saying drown in guilt I'm pointing how bad it must've been to them and u must not have even realized the true extent
I'm happy your changing now pls don't stop 😊
What you are trying to do is what I try to accomplish as well, I gain my satisfaction by the trust that people give me, it makes me feel important. They get the feeling of being understood, good solutions to problems, comfort, advice and the likes
literally anyone ever can realize peoples feelings and use it against them. its even a propaganda tactic. its literally everywhere. theres babies seperated from their parents at the border. ok maybe they are terrible parents for putting their kids through that maybe they are seeking a better life. use the emotional response to propagandize one view or another. divide the voters into teams of speculative bullshit

Everyone commenting Shane, but I feel like Jeffrey is the ultimate social dark empath on the internet
@Kylie Hua same question im kinda curious
If memory serves me right... Both are youtubers. Jeffrery is known as a beauty guru. He also sell makeup as well (aside doing review etc). Shane is... Well I'm not sure which he stands for in the TH-cam categories. But you two can look them up. There are some article and blogs about them.... Though just be aware that there are a mixed crowds on their... Friendliness and Likability. Take it as you well... 😅
How are they empaths?
It looks like they just know how to take advantage of people. Doesn't mean they are empaths.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 .. 🤔 There's truth in that for sure.
The thing is, Shane had shouted up and down about how he was an empath, how empathetic he was, how hard it was to be an empath, etc, in multiple videos, especially during his "documentaries" or "apologies". Jeffree has never, too my knowledge, directly made the claim. That's why Shane comes to mind first.
They're both very dark personalities and manipulators, however. And they both know just how to work their fans.

My sister seems like this, just because she’s only a decent person to anyone not related to her. She is close to a cousin of mine but also treats her badly to the point where my cousin got sick of it and cut ties to her as an adult. Real shame too, as they grew up together and I always thought she liked my cousin.
My ex was kinda similar. I remember everytime id visit her shed be yelling her guts off at her brother. She was extremely violent verbally to him. She would rarely ever talk in a normal tone when saying something to him, like shes always annoyed by him. I remember watching a movie with her in the living room and he wanted to join but she would constantly kick him out. I really hated that, partially cos i remember when i was younger i know i liked spending time with my older sisters friends when they come over. She was definitely the people pleaser type, like she bends over backwards to help you with something or to show you she loves you

"So have you met a dark empath?" Yes, me. Not completely but sort of.
I really hate the fact that I used to be very manipulative and just overall toxic. I luckily realized how hurtful I was being after experiencing it first hand in a relationship, and immediately took a few steps back. I went to therapy for a while which really helped me see myself and other people much more differently, and at one point I went personally to every person that I used to be close to, but I was very toxic towards, and actually apologize and try to make up to them. I wasn’t sad/angry when they turned it down, because I know how hard it is to trust someone after they manipulated you, and hurt you. I’m really in an amazing place now, and I’m so happy that people actually enjoy being around me, and genuinely like and respect me. I have way more kind and caring friends around me, and I feel like I can also give as much as possible to them in a healthy way, and vise versa.
Sorry for going on this rant, but getting out of this manipulative and toxic mindset was one of the best things that I have personally accomplished
I'm glad you turned around! That's awesome!
@@CB-fq2ye thanks! :)) I’m also really glad I was able to recognize the toxic behavior in myself and change
I am hearing dark empath for the first time and understood it as a personality type and didn't know it can be changed! May I ask, how long did it take to change you?
Did you feel that there was something awkward when you were acting ? Or did you think that it was all right ?
I'm happy that you're doing well after that, congrats on your change!
I very much dislike empathy. As long as I can remember, I’ve “absorbed “ the feelings of around those around me; therefore, I’ve spent a great deal of time being that guy that everyone comes to when they feel down. It’s hard when you feel sad around so many sad people. It also leaves you open to manipulation.
Feel you
I’ve learned to never put too much of a burden of someone else’s problem on your shoulders from past experiences. You’d be surprised as to how much people really don’t care about your problems, even when they express it. Also the same ppl you sympathize for are rarely on your side when it is your time of need. Know your worth and try not to compromise yourself to hard for others bro Ik exactly how u feel. I was that guy in the past but no more
Yeah man. It doesn't pay off.
I've been that guy for some time now, ever since I realized that I should be doing something to help people around me...but then my wife and I caught covid and this old friend stopped talking to me because I couldn't bring myself to listen to and fix some tiff they were having with their partner and friends. I was like how the hell does that sound like something I'll deal with when I've got my wife to keep alive?
Regardless, it makes me happy to do this as long as I can spot these a-holes and avoid them.
You can learn to turn it off, your ability, but it means that sometimes you gotta be an a-hole to be able to 'protect' yourself. If you can do that without later feeling guilty about it, bonus! You can't be everyone's sponge, but you already know that!
Yes. I am like that too. What I do is to abstract the negative feeling and be a filter not a sponge. Very hard tought, constant alert
Just cos someone seems like he forces himself into complimenting you doesn't mean they are dark empaths...they might as well be shy when it comes to these things and whenever they try to say something nice, they cringe or feel very vulnerable in that moment that it comes out as not sincere. Or some people have even hard time actually "feeling" the emotion, they are in a happy state, but they're not particularly excited about it, everything feels flat or numb for them, so a compliment from such person might seem like they're not really feeling it, they're just saying it cos that's what you wanna hear. And that's also hurtful to *them*.
thank u for saying that :>
its just kinda annoying that even my own friend thinks im being fake when truth is that im just uncomfortable and trying to be polite so the words or actions i show comes out stiff..
I know this feeling way too much, I’ve been called fake because I tried being more excited about giving compliments, I did genuinely want this person to feel better but I guess I tried too hard
@@thedolphinlover4859 but then when you show your genuine external reaction they think you’re a bitch lmao it’s so complicated I hate socializing
So basically me
Both me and my mom have a hard time showing actual genuine emotions
Having only the ability to sense “cognitive empathy” is the same as never knowing what it’s truly like to have the emotion. It’s still a numb way to go through life. Same as faking that you actually care.
This was totally me for a long time. I would use manipulation to lie to people around me or I would manipulate them in other ways. I read a book called "The Road Less Traveled" and it completely changed my perspective. I realized that seeing others perspectives and wanting what's best for them is what's best. I'm doing better now although my dark empathy still comes up from time to time
Yes. I also think regular empatha can be quite manipulative. It can be simple things like always being the person who gets their way and you don't even notice. That's something I'm working on right now because I don't manipulate on purpose just always suggest things when people have no ideas
You deadass said you're manipulative why would you admit that is it to look cool
Let it go. Really
Thank you for the book title. As this is a problem I am having I will look into it.
i think anti-social empath is a much better title. Dark empath sounds like some sort of young adult novel super power lol. Yes if your both empathetic and anti-social it can be hard not to manipulate people, mindfulness is key it’s good your recognize it.

Right! They could’ve just said the greater narc VS. the SUPER EMPATH instead of using new fake terms. The only “dark side” of the empath is when we FINALLY decide to stick up for ourselves and others going into supernova mode! We have to then turn the narcissist tactics back onto them as a mirror for their own insecurities with the element of surprise that the narcissist didn’t know we were capable of causing MAJOR narc injuries so bad they won’t even want to return! They just run off to new supply instead of healing themselves by facing their true selves after soul fragmentation.

Also I generally dont take much part in name calling but people with npd can cause some serious harm in the lives of others though i do mostly feel bad for them as they to some extent are hollow and can never fully feel love, unless they seek treatment or try to selfimprove, im codependent and empathic, and no as it is rn im quite far removed from being anything dark, but i do hope i never will get closer as well.
Also even an asshole can call another asshole an asshole, and even a good person can once in a blue moon call someone else that even without putting themselves on a pedestal, as we are all merely human and most of us mess up on a daily basis in a multitude of ways, much definitely myself included sadly.
I didn’t know that these people existed before watching the video either.
I am experiencing the aftermath of such personality in current working life. Operating ups and downs without my notice until my responsibilities were snatched away and transferred to her. Pretending to be a caring person for her ultimate purposes.
By the way, dark empathy has strong correlation to levels of IQ and EQ. Need to be aware of one with very good academic records and abnormally strong sense of empathy. However, not everyone with these signs are dark empathy. Continuous monitoring would be a way to find out.

There are a lot of people with different circumstances that might end up being kind, but sounding shallow... because of their own trauma and insecurities.
I know this feeling all too well. Like trying to compliment someone just to be told that you’re only doing it to boost your own ego really sucks, like obviously that’s always going to be a factor but I believe if you’re trying to make someone feel better because it’s the right thing to do then that’s great, but if you’re doing it just to feel better about yourself that’s just wrong. The grey area is when you’re doing something because it’s the right thing but you’re afraid that if you keep doing it, you’ll grow into the kind of person that only helps others for their gain. I think that would be an interesting topic to cover.
@@thedolphinlover4859 What about a person like me, whom helps others because other's well-being will eventually help my well-being, but I also feel good helping people?
I help others for personal gain, AND to feel good about myself doing so, plus they enjoy it as well.
That is a very good point.
@@thedolphinlover4859 You're conflating a certain philosophy (altruism) with psychology. To understand what Dark Empath meant is not to just treat it like a thou shalt text. Don't think just because the intention is "selfish" that you're gonna assume that a person is bad or that its a sign of a dark empath. Its way more complicated than that, your take on it is too dogmatic and is really gonna affect your entire view in Psych, just like so many people.
First, leave your philosophy of selfless = good, selfish = bad outside the door, and instead define the goal as: To Understand Behavior > which is what Psychology was supposed to be about (thanks to american politics and shitty psych EXPERTS for degrading that)
Dark Empath is supposed to be a bridge between Psychopathy and Typicals. Remember Psych treats these idea as Typicals vs Atypicals (not good vs evil)
Empath Typicals falls to certain categories (Physical, Emotional, Animal, Plant...)
It means that a dark empath is fully capable of sensing and feeling any of these, and if needed be they can adapt psychopathy.
Now that you understand that, let's get back to our main goal, identifying them:
First, let's define psychopathy, specifically adaptive psychopathy:
Natural lack of remorse/guilt + inability to tend to other certain feelings (original definition, not the random bullshit from psych blogs)
The adaptive version of this being that: these traits shows under certain circumstances. And i hate giving examples because people take this out of context every damn time but here: Edmund Kemper murdered his grandparents as a child and was sent to juvenile, not long he was observed to be showing perfect typical behaviour and was released by psychiatrists when he turned adult. This trait will be seen with every victim he met before proceeding to continue his murder spree. The reason? Because he really has empathy but to tend to his disturbed past he could adapt psychopathic behavior to carry out what he did.
Notice that to identify DE is to identify genuine empathy and then identify psychopathy. This comes in phases:
Typicality -> Impulsive/Premeditated Amoral Action -> Signs of Psychopathy.
Remember this could literally have nothing to do with selfishness or feeling good about oneself, Psychopaths don't feel good, they feel less, hence their immoral actions are often pleasure seeking.
If you understood what i said, you'll realize that it has no connection to the idea that *to feel good about oneself* is wrong, neither is this about the intention or manipulation: a psychopath could pretend to be typical but in realiry they're being cunning and manipulative, but a Dark Empath may not be pretending. (doesn't also disregard the fact that they could)
So, even if you feel a person is being shallow with compliments in order to feel good about themselves, remember this falls under typical behaviour. (which i despise philosophically, not all typicals are good)
If what your pretense here is your philosophy then fine, but just be informed please. Psychology is full of idiots who've turned this field upside down, I'm working on an abstract to slam all of these false pretenses that has been pushed within the field which is mind numbing people.
I may come off as agressive here but remember I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Psych Experts who've turned to blog writing and create these random D&D types of lore on well established psychological topics, and confusing everyone. Remember, there are people with credibility who does this often to get clicks or support from political figures.
Yes, i have a dark empath classmate. As I soon study psychology I was starting to notice her dark empathy personality and being manipulative. She spread rumors around of me and my group of friends. Others believe and fear her because they thought she's "fearless."
So basically, everyone that plays Among Us. Gotcha.
Exactly what I was thinking too
I think you're onto something there. I never really liked among us and could only be persuaded into playing it once and the whole time it just felt SO uncomfortable. Maybe if you're not a dark empath, witnessing this game so blantanly reveal the other people's tendencies is quite upsetting.
Lol
@@Xevailo Not quite. Remember that the game is in a purely competitive format. You cannot put people into competition without any consequences and expect a happy love circle. It is competition which brings out more aggressive traits by it's very nature. That game (I'm not a fan of it either) simply puts the competition on your ability to blend in and deflect blame and suspicion.
No, you want to see a better representation of this? Play "telephone" with people and they have to walk room to room, or whatever it takes to tell the story out of earshot AND without everyone else knowing who is passing things along. You only know who told you, and who you told, that is it...the rest of the chain is unknown. You allow it to circle, not in a single direction. Malicious humor will appear in such a situation.
Or, have someone play a game with morality in it as themselves. The truly good people will tend to only take the 'evil' options when they make sense...kill the guy that killed your sibling for example. The more malicious will either go pure 'good' thinking it will look better as their test result, or will follow the directions but as you review the playthrough, you will notice them killing characters that aren't part of the story simply because they can, or always choosing the 'less' evil options while always choosing the major 'good' options.
The catch of all of this is, there are no other people interacting with them. You take competition out of it. As there are too many that 'need to win' and will thus simply do whatever is needed to win any game, such as Among Us. They thrive on competition.
