Top sadistic thing a dark empath does

Use your vulnerabilities against you #narcissist #narcissism #narcissistic

[Cathain]

If we tell you that there is something wrong with you, take note. We aren’t lying. Rather when pressed we will hold a mirror up and destroy any delusions you have, instead showing you cold hard reality. If that seems like a personal attack, perhaps you shouldn’t shoot the messenger. We don’t randomly do this out of unrelenting sadism. If we do it, there must have been a very good reason for it. Look closely in the mirror before lashing out at the other person. That’s what we are showing you. And what you are avoiding.

Absolutely, true and correct...unbelievable I never knew that such evil ever existed...
I have a MS in Psychology and it took me awhile to figure out what was happening to me...unbelievable

You just described my ex-husband. He was nice before we were married. I felt like I was scammed.

[Khaegch-favh]

You just described my mother. And my last therapist who threated to use her privilege to conv8nce the cops that she is concerned about my "mental health" after I refused to do a list of inappropriate favors for her. I was going to her for my anxiety because my mother use to do the same thing in the first place. Fortunately, people are now talking about Narcs and Karens, so its no longer difficult to describe that sort of mentality like it was when I was a kid. Plus of my jobs have always needed a clean bill of MH and I have zero history if any issues (Unlike both if them as it turns out.) But the whole thing seems like a slap in the face from life ugh!

It's a little frightening that your clip is spot on. Enjoy your weekend.

My mother. Borderlines do this as well. Weaponize your vulnerabilities against you. I absolutely hate it, and have learned to treat people who do this as enemies, at the very least.

[jacquelinedidur]

This is spot on 100%. I lived it….well said! 💕

'Dark empath' is definitely click bait for victims of narcs.

I’ve experienced this an it’s why Im trying not to explain too much about myself online because you never know how many cyberstalking narcissists, dark empaths, or psychopaths are reading the comments. When i feel like my emotions are overwhelming (not yo be contradictory to my previous statement) by something like triggers, i think of something funny like a Jim Carey comedy flick etc. to redirect my emotions as a way of telling myself to move on with my obsession with rooting out negative emotions while acknowledging their importance. I can’t change everything, but i can change the way I deal with things.

The term “dark empath” seems to be a misnomer .. cognitive empathy is not an empathic person … and in the context Danielle describes is sadism

[Jaime_Todd]

No disrespect, but there is no such thing as a dark empath. There are empaths, and there are narcissists. You can't be both. Just because they have a cognitive understanding of empathy or appear to have empathy does not mean they are an empath in any way. Let's not change the language to fit a narrative. That's what narcs do.
As an empath, I am highly offended by that terminology and can only assume a narcissist made it up to deflect. There is really only 1 type of person that genuinely confuses a covert narcissist with an empath, and I really do pray that they are able to properly and fully recover from the years of psychological abuse they've endured. I hope that doesn't sound like something a dark empath would say...lol. A true empath wouldn't do those things to people because of the way it makes them feel inside. It might feel good to throw a few jabs at narcs here and there, but ultimately, giving them a taste of their own medicine is just pointless and sad because they will just never get it.

You’re talking about my mother, so thusly, the family..

[what.you.allowyou.permit]

Now these clusters are getting more further splintered? To me, WHAT traits you describe are narc/borderline/psychopath abuse. So whats this "dark empath" stuff now? Genuinely asking. Never heard of this!!!

[mariannaoleshkevich]

What is the difference between DE och narcissist?

[zdzislawbeksinski]
