[@MsNatiBug]

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.

[@flyingdart9819]

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.

[@pofficial3345]

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.

*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

[@annenelson5656]

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.

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

[@UnofficialWalker]

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 😅

[@brad5392]

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.

[@Carolyn_Cannon]

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

[@unkleap]

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.

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

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!

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).

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.

[@FaerieElethia]

@@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.

You'll be fine as long as your intentions are good.

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. 😉

[@bwabwbaba9269]

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 :>

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

[@skybug1706]

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.

[@u3434-b4v]

@@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.

[@skybug1706]

where would you suggest I educate myself?

[@u3434-b4v]

@@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 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.

[@phoenixflame6048]

@@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. 😅

It would finally explain his cognitive dissonant personality though.

​@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.

[@kpaxian6044]

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.

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.

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.

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.

I once had a friend who is an INFJ and a dark empath. She was very intelligent, emphatic and kind at first glance, and everyone at school looked out for her because we all know she's struggling with depression. However, when I also started to struggle with depression, she thought I stole her spotlight and started to spread rumors behind my back and cut off my support system. Some of the tactics she uses still haunts me to this day, such as crying at the other end of the cafeteria so all my friends would come to her instead (and leave me sitting alone), and interrupting my conservations with teachers I trust, etc. I've since then been wary of anyone who tries hard to maintain an "empath image".

[@kimngandong]

You should rethink the possibility of her being an actual INFJ. I have encountered some ENTP and they are the most skilled at wearing masks and manipulate people. I thought that they were INFJ or INFP but after they stabbed me in the back, all of their ENTP functions have become clear to me. As an INFJ who only have met one INFJ, we don't plot or hold ill will against people, we are integral in our values and just decide to not hang out with those who do not click with us instead us harming them. However, ENTP can commit evil because their vices are malevolence and envy.

@@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.
