“They have little patience to hear your thoughts.”

I dig your videos dude, but… from the few I’ve had friendships & relationships with, my experience is:

listening is ammo-collecting time for the dark empath; and it’s “open season.” Depending on their capabilities to play “the long game, ” if it suits them, dark emp’s can have a seemingly bottomless reservoir to take in.

I’m fully confident of this based on nightmarish experience.

But man, your vids are A+

You forgot the trait of cynicism, loss of connection and hope. Empaths with low conscientiousness may not signal anything nefarious but could simply have a learned helplessness. Some people go well past simple learned helplessness and do become malicious after learning to manipulate others into giving too much seeking control of something or anything in their lives even though much of this is merely a series of pyrrhic victories leading nowhere.

Miserable. And people can really lose touch with their true sense of self, let alone others. They may dream that they exert control only to end up without any connection whatsoever. And lots of banked up unacknowledged guilt for all the wrongs they’ve done to others. But worse they do it to themselves. Horrible self-inflicted fate.

And it’s worse than difficult, like almost impossible to unlearn that stuff. Slippery slope.

The road to recovery and gaining true connection and a strong agency is a lot of work, well worth doing. Even if you lose a lot, the efforts will yield results bit by bit. Honesty is harder. And wins don’t just feel great but the feeling lasts. That saying “whatever we resist will persist” is so true. Wherever you go there you are.

Have you done a video yet on narcissism? If not, I’d love to see you cover that.

There are many more sociopaths in the world than you think. Im an empath, its true and scary. If you yawn, and the other person does not yawn after you, then you can see a lack of empathy. I do this all the time, if I have a feeling something is off.

Good video.

[ANGEL-ehpd]

Great video. Narcissists are dark empaths.

I have a dark empath brother. He’s pretty nice and all but he kinda lacks the openness when it comes to some people, saying some pretty hurtful things when really he is trying to make proven point to people but rather in a more negative way. He doesn’t like when people meet his standards, so he gets to impatient and tries not to really give a damn about how the other person feels. I feel like he is only saying these things to pressure us so he’d be a step ahead of us, but this is so far what I have seen. To be honest I’m trying to be more of myself, and being who I want to be. He tries to teach me some morals about right and wrong. He’s nice but he can get out of hand and start to lose his affective empathy for people

A good example of this is just watch the movie Misery.

Not changing their mind is incorrect. Manipulation of yourself in order to manipulate others is equally important.

He is all of these things, does all of these things. Thankyou for saving my life.
I've removed myself from him & cut th puppet strings.
I wondered if he was Dismissive avoidant attachment style. Yes but with much much more.
Here is the much much more.

Sounds like you’re describing a psychopath and/or a narcissist.

[RevRideReason]

If you say The Dark Empath one more time I'm lose my mind. 🥴😉

[MrKillswitch]

Covert narcs are some of the worst as most don't see them coming while an overt narc is obvious a world a way and always have to place themselves into positions that bring status.

Wow! I wish I could’ve understood since my sister was born. She is a true, consummate dark empath. It’s all about her all the time but she pretends to show caring. What you said about the law was spot on. I was the legal caregiver for our mom with dementia. After nine years of no help and roadblocks from her I had to have a major surgery. I had no choice to ask my sister for help for two months. Instead of putting her back on the plane to return to Texas she kidnapped her, took over her money and convinced my mom that I just stole everything. Obviously I didn’t. The only way I could be reunited with my mom was to have her taken into custody and made to go through a highly invasive legal proceeding that o didn’t want to subject her to. I haven’t seen my mom since 2015-6 years. Ty for doing this. I was so naive my entire life thinking she was on my side and had my back. After 6 years I see clearly all the energy and time I put into always taking care of her was an absolute waste of my time and wish I had this technology as a child. At least I could’ve made some different choices growing up. I really like your channel. Ty. 🤗❤️🙌😊

Helpfull video. Long time subscriber. Thank You.

[elcaptitancivil]

What you're describing is covert narc and mixture of empath. And a narc is a narc. Regardless of the thom foolery

[stardreamer]

Erik, do you have a video on setting boundaries? I still don't know how to say "no, " and this leaves me vulnerable to manipulation. It's necessary to say "no" politely but firmly; that's the first step (and I can't always get even this done). But what if the other person does not take "no" for an answer?

More generally, thanks for making this video. It's an important topic.

Have you met a dark empath? 🥶 Don't forget to subscribe for more cool videos. 😊

[mystorymysong]

What if the psychologist or counselor is the dark empaths???

[attheranch]

I’m surprised that you said be honest vulnerable and real. You need to be defended. I just put up a gray rock defense. I am become boring. Not very responsive. Definitely not reactive. They go find somebody else then.
