What Happens When A Narcissist Meets A Dark Empath

There are a lot of similar qualities between narcissists and dark empaths, but they are not the same. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder portray may be influenced by environmental factors such as excessive parental pampering or childhood abuse. Dark empaths, on the other hand, tend to be more perceptive towards other people’s feelings than narcissists, yet they also manipulate people quite the same.

It can be quite difficult to differentiate between narcissists and dark empaths unless you deeply examine their patterns of behavior and their ability to be genuine.They both rely on their dominance over other people, so what exactly would happen when they meet each other? Who will benefit from who? Let’s find out.

A dark empath with a narcissist is like when two anime villains team up but are secretly plotting to betray each other when they reach their specific goals

Narcissist: PREPARE FOR TROUBLE
Dark empath: AND MAKE IT DOUBLE

Narcissist: Hoho, your approaching me?
Dark Empath: I can’t emotionally manipulate you without getting closer.
Narcissist: HOHO, THAN COME AS CLOSE AS YOU LIKE.

It’s so scary that sometimes you can’t even see these traits. There’s so many ways you can manipulate and gaslight people it makes you apprehensive with trusting others 😕

I think what a dark empath really is is someone who can detect other peoples feelings, but it doesn’t affect them as much as regular empaths. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re evil, if they choose to, they can be nice, and care about people. It’s just that dark empaths don’t get affected by other peoples emotions, they just have that ability to block it out and not feel it. Unlike empaths. But they’re not necessarily evil. They won’t necessarily use their ability to manipulate others, it’s just that manipulation comes easy to them because they can feel other people, but it doesn’t affect their emotions. This is just what I think, correct me if I’m wrong.

I used to know a narcissist and dark empath they were both equally toxic and now that i know that i'm glad i wasn't friend with them for long. The narc lied a lot and tryed to make me pity him and the dark empath used my secrets to manipulate and he treated me like a dog when no one was looking. They were both in different time frames of my life but they were awful.

My mother was a narcissist. Her parents spoiled her. They're never responsible for anything they might be doing wrong. It's always someone else's fault.

I actually had a friend who is VERY narcissistic and i'm probably an empath turned dark. But for some reason our qualities equalized each other and we basically became self-conscious now. She knows she is very narcissistic and is able to turn off her narcissism now in comparison to her case before (it's probably still faking but you know you can't really change that easily) and i also may have manipulated her and she knows what i'm doing so she reprimands me for shit and i realize I'm doing it unconsciously lmao

A friendship between both, when there's mutual desire to be decent to the other, is the most fun thing there is. Not all people with that kind of personality has an evil disposition, despite what people without those traits might think, and may consider carefully who deserves good treatment and who doesn't.
Honestly that crazy friendship and the feeling of being completely unassailable like a couple of tigers in a petting zoo is the one thing I miss from my teenage years, sometimes I wonder what she did with her life after we stopped talking, and how many people who were not capable of handling her screwed themselves by going after her.

As a former dark empath who found true compassion in therapy, I can vouch for the validity of this video.

I had an ex who is a narcissist and the “power couple” dynamic is very real. The structure is a team effort is ideal in team manipulation. As sharing empathic insight with a ruthless and unwavering frontman leads to major success.

If you don’t know if you know one of us, here’s a way to narrow the search.

Dark empathy will allow themselves to be minorly vulnerable for you, as a way to let you attach. Narcissists will be hesitant.

Dark Empaths will even admit that it’s hard to trust other people. (Not you, of course, wink). That is truly where it lies with a lot of dark empaths. A high level of empathy, but a low level of trust, compassion, and fear of loss/abandonment can fuel our thinking and makes us miserable because we feel alone…while also satisfying an internal preference to have independence, through solitude, sprinkled with positive associations.

Life's easier when you can pick your battles. You don't need to defend your ego and get offended every time someone disagrees with you. Only insecure people do that.

At sometimes I would think I was a dark empath.
Then I got a hold of this series and found myself in a new bike.
I don't make others do things for me I do things for myself.
Which is a huge notable difference. I tend to think of others before myself. I'm not a people pleaser I just want a calm environment about the only selfish thing I can think of. Even if I can't control it. I often end up giving more than I want in return. I'll even restrain myself if I knew that will hurt somebody.
But also found a new Love and talent within myself watching people become themselves without intervention.
Both good and bad yeah I have a high emotional quotient. But knowledge of emotion is not a tool. But a better way to understand others.

I have a friend who’s well on his way to be a narcissist. He constantly gets pissed off at me if I don’t understand something that is second-nature to him, has family history of narcissism, and tends to seek admiration from his classmates and/or peers. It gets exhausting and we don’t text nearly as often as we used to, we still talk yes but sometimes it doesn’t always go smoothly with him. My ex was and still us a dark empath. He manipulated me into leaving a certain friend group who I’ve since reunited with, constantly made things about him, acted like he cared about me when he only wanted my body (suggested getting it on before the 1 month mark), tried to force a relationship (polyamorous) 3 times before we broke and only did it so it could satisfy a kink of his.

I'm more of a darker empath myself, and I bumped into a very narcissistic guy in college. We were pretty close, considering that we somehow got in a toxic friend group back then. Honestly, I was the only person that could call him out and hold him accountable for some messed up stuff he did. I will say that I did take multiple notes on him, and the biggest mistake he did was admitting he had a crush on me. Very interesting dynamic, let me tell you.

I would call myself a Dark Empath.
I was raised in a narssistic family, with a very strong family idealogy.
I have narssistic traits.
But I have been working on them with my SO as often as I can.
I have told her my tricks, and explained as close as I can, exactly how I am feeling in that moment.
This video seems to portray a Dark Empath as someone just more reserved then a narssicist, but still maniacle.
I personally use small manipulations, to push situations to a positive outcome for all.
Me included.
(If I can) XD
I just want to be true to myself, and help as many as I can.
Anywho
I dont appreciate the subcontext as all narssistic people are bad, or malicious, or diabolical.
We absolutly can be.
But not all of us.
I will do my best to take responsibility for my actions.

I'm a dark empath, and honestly I am deeply offended by narcissism. I go out of my way to incite conflict with narcissists. They are vulnerable and I use those weaknesses to trigger the narcissist.

[themaddoctor]

I would be curious to see what a dark empath and a narcissist could do if they worked together. With the narcissist's outgoing and charismatic persona, combined with the dark empaths understanding of others emotions, it could lead to a wide web of lies and manipulation
