Nine Signs of The Dark Personality

[@robbiePlanetaSano]

A business partner lied, cheated and stole from me and pretended to be my best friend… I kicked him out of my life. I just found out that he was just excommunicated from his church for lying, cheating and stealing from all the members of the church. His wife left him. He lost his job and karma kicked his butt. I have been no contact for almost a year but he called the accountant and tried to rip us off again a few days ago. No amount of loss stops these people. His church chose “ no contact” to defend it’s members from a very dark personality . He tried to ruin my life, for fun…

Yes... Definitely!

[@helenshg4580]

Thank you very much for this valuable guide to help me understand potential dangerous traits before I get taken in as a victim. I used to give ppl a huge margin for errors. I have been taken as a fool repeatedly. Now I give ppl one chance to show disrespect ( lie or cheat or steal or etc. ) before I do all I can to cancel connections with them.

[@NoMoreHeroesAnymore1334]

I used to give three strikes, but I soon realized if somebody would do something that'd make me genuinely mentally give them one strike, they'd NEVER FAIL to do it twice more. Now I save the time and do what you do: One chance only.

I think empaths should employ WIIFM to avoid becoming a doormat. I plan on asking that to myself when I enter into another relationship. I always bend over backwards and it gets me nowhere.

[@thescapegoatclub]

Thanks so much Darren. It’s so hard to be on the end of any of these, let alone live with most of the traits in most of our family members. Awareness helps.

[@nicoledburns82]

I thought my sister was just narcissistic but I have seen her laugh at news videos of a kid being mauled by a dog and then saying the kid deserved it. She's told Me my kids were better off if I were dead. She has openly and blatantly lied to numerous members of the family. Started sending overly filtered pictures of herself to a family group chat used for planning holidays with my elderly grandparents. Refused to go to our brothers wedding because she wasn't the maid of honor. Constantly threatening to kill herself whenever someone offers criticism. She went from being a "save the world vegan" to a "BBQ eating lifted diesel truck driving carnivore" literally overnight. I have no idea what to call her but she scares the crap put of me. I hate being around her.

[@thescapegoatclub]

Your sister sounds awful. I can relate to feeling scared. Mine too, gives me nightmares. Literally. Having looked into her eyes and searched for humanity and found... a black hole... I don’t know what she is capable of. She has no moral filter, no concept of deeply hurting other people. There’s no soul there. It’s unnerving to be around and terrifying to be on the end of when she is crossed.

[@LR-yu3mx]

I like that the main dark personality components have been broken down so easier to identify. I’ve been trying to recognise narcissism in people close to me but this is far simpler and identifies unwanted traits whether there is a personality disorder diagnosis or not - thank you 🙏

Darren Magee, I sooo appreciate you. ☀️ 💕 ☮️

[@leapsill1969]

[@andydufresne8034]

I guess I'm still wrapping my head around this stuff because I've been seeing narcissism as the central core of all these other behaviours rather than just one of them.

[@midnightpaperparty9687]

I think most, if not all of these traits, have narcissism as one of their symptoms - plus a slew of even nastier stuff. Narcissism is just one of the spices, but is constantly recurring ingredient in the recipe for each flavor of scary individual discussed here.

[@Eighties-Jadie]

Thanks Darren ☀️

[@obieobrien5883]

Years ago, my ex complained about everything that was being done by the troop leaders in our sons scout group. He said that he could do everything better, he pushed out the current troop leaders, and ruined it for everybody. The former troop leaders went to the scout Council, asked to disband the troop and had a ton of evidence. The troop was disbanded, and I thought he was gonna blow a gasket he was so angry. I was thankful because three years later the troop reorganized and the former leaders did not allow him to come back.

[@TrishLee]

There are so much to learn, we need to learn about it so that we know the danger of those traits and how it could affect you! This is so informative Darren, thank you for sharing this video with us!❤

[@yvetteandjorgenlarsen9753]

Yes, I totally agree! Darren has a very clear way of identifying everything and spelling it out, and stays on point while being comprehensive. I have to say, though, that I love his accent and voice tone.

[@s.hicks7213]

This is hard to listen to especially when I have someone with at least 7 of these traits in my close family. It’s terrifying how “dark” people can really be but it’s even scarier when you’re unarmed without information so that you can protect yourself from someone from wrecking your life-then in turn blaming yourself because you’ve been programmed to do so. Thank you. ♥️🙏🏻

[@TYGZus777]

I have gone no-contact with many family members. I receive a lot of criticism from my adult child about it, but maybe he'll understand when he gets fed up with it all, too. I just can't do it anymore.

[@Butterfly-if1qs]

This is a most excellent and defining video. Thank you Darren for putting this together for us! I have a new title for it though, "Don't Touch That!". It seems I have more than my share of experience with people in all of this. What I know for sure is, do not expect them to change!! They don't meet the requirement, in general, or are incapable of, being honest with themselves. Therefore cannot take an honest look at the situations and will not be honest with you, or anyone else around them. The video perhaps needs a trailer that makes it clear for victims to stop expecting them to change! Behavior tells the story. Not their words. Victims of these personalities cannot always tell they are being victimized if the abuser is so "nice" About their dismantling of you. Great information, thank you!

all of it i went through the list agen and on a scale from 1-10 i rated my dad a 10 for everyone with past references in mind i saw some horrible sit growing up what made it so bad the most was he would be basically nice to my face and stab me in the back He went so far as to go to my school like around 2nd grade and talked to the principal and my teachers to give me a bad reputation growing up so confused you can't imagine what it took to over come the bs i could write a book of his horrible nastyness broken hearts broken bones and several lives has gotten cut off early i thank my God and Jesus Christ for beautiful people like this man God love you for your help

[@michaelcorrigan4625]

Really interesting analysis. A considerable number of UK politicians appear to fit this profile. If this is an emotional derived condition, then behaviour can change. However, if this a mental disability then change is extremely problematic. Using certain UK politicians as an example, it would appear to be a mental condition in these cases. Fascinating series of programmes, many thanks for putting these on KZbin.

[@thexpozer5389]

Scary! This is Narcissistic traits too!

[@FilipRanogajec]

I'm new to your channel (a few days ago), but I like these kinds of videos. All those traits are very bad for everyone. Narcissism, Machiavelianism and Psychopathy form the Dark Triad, and it's a relatively new psychological term (I think they said it was first introduced in 2002). There is a new suggestion of adding sadism to that bunch, turning it into a Dark Tetrad, and it's very new (some years back they suggested it). What is your opinion on those and how do they affect society in general, and individual people? Looking forward to seeing more. 😉

[@yvetteandjorgenlarsen9753]

Oh, dear God, no wonder my marriage was so confusing! I'm shocked to realize that my ex has exhibited all of these traits in the few months we were married. No wonder this has been so difficult and scary. He had blue eyes, and I could swear that they became very dark blue eyes when he was raging.

No matter what you call it, it's continuous harmful/evil intentions against another. Can't stop, can't change, no responsibility, no conscience, no remorse, no contriteness, basically act all the time, approximate a machine or inanimate object as to how uncaring they are. Sociopaths, psychopaths, full-blown narcissists. Sort of like an animal with rabies. Terrible to say, but these are terrible human beings. Best to leave alone, cut all ties.

[@winter-qd4yw]

Thank you, this video is very helpful and cleared up some confusion I was having over a “narcissist” who had some of these other traits. By the way, I really appreciate that you let us know that there is not a “one size fits all”.

[@TYGZus777]

My mom left her very nice house to one of my 3 siblings, in her will. This sibling was instructed to use this house for habitation or sell it to pay for habitation elsewhere. The contents of the house were supposed to be divided between the 4 siblings. Since she was the designated financial executor, she took our mother's will and rewrote it. Now it's set up so that when she dies the house and all of its contents will be auctioned off, and all the proceeds will go to a local doggy day care, LLC. None of the remaining family members will be allowed in the house, our own mother's home! What a bitter, spiteful person. And she did all this because she lost her control over us when our mom died. She used to be able to go cry to mom whenever we didn't act how she wanted us to act. Mom used to put a guilt trip on us, and make us apologize and then cow-tow to her demands. My mom's house and its contents were supposed to be divided up between all the remaining children if this sibling died before us. My mom would be very upset if she knew what my sibling did, just to spite us, but I'm sure she would still make excuses for her. This sibling has never made one mortgage payment or had any "grown-up" responsibility her entire 64-year-long life. She has always manipulated others to get her way.

[@heartburn6160]

Does anyone genuinely understand personality disorders and their traits? Even the experts can't agree, and often the experts exhibit the traits themselves. How can someone determine the lack of empathy in others when they don't feel empathy themselves?

[@AndrewNuttallWearsPants]

I really appreciate how well you explain these topics. I wonder if you have looked into the effects of mislabeling patients this way? For example, because of how information is shared in the medical system, a false diagnosis of sadism or psychopathy would result in extremely uncomfortable encounters with doctors and nurses for the patient - and have the same effects as medical gaslighting. How would a patient fix the problem? What are the ethics of these misdiagnoses?

[@DarrenFMagee]

Thank you for your question. I'm hoping to have a psychiatrist on my channel soon to discuss the diagnostic process so stay tuned hopefully your questions will be answered

[@janedoh123]

I believe that it’s not empathy that they lack as the dictionary definition is that you can mentally identify how someone may be effected or feeling about a situation, how someone with normal empathy would feel compassionate towards someone who has been in an accident or something whereas the narcissist would have empathy for the themselves in how their partner should they be bed ridden because of an accident they would feel empathy towards themselves and how their supply is going to be affected I think that they should change that narcissistic personality disorder sufferers lack compassion

[@taom9004]

I suppose if they can get better with a lot of hard work, then they can get worse with the wrong feedback loop around them? My mum, at 80, has become a monster. But I don't remember her being like this, well, momentary lapses perhaps, but she was generally agreeable when I was a girl and my dad was the huge stressor. She got pretty abusive when she left my father to remarry her lover, and shortly after I had my first chlld, but she hid that resentment and those delusions from just about everyone but me, her only daughter. Now her grand kids are grown, she's pushed everyone away. She's just poison. She can't seem to control herself. How common is this, I wonder?

[@TYGZus777]

One thing I don’t understand about ‘’dark triad’’ is that it doesn’t fit to secondary psychopathy but it fits to primary psychopathy. Interesting…I mean secondary psychopathy can have dark triad as well, no? So basically a sociopath can’t have dark triad? But ASPD individuals with primary psychopathy can have dark triad? Never understood this…It’s basically the same. The other is born that way and the other is made by environmental, genetic. I believe sociopaths can behave like a psychopath as well. And most licensed psychologist don’t know this. I know some of high-functioning sociopaths who are diagnosed one behave like a psychopath…Calm, cold, indifferent, calculated…And they have Dark triad as well 🤔 but most psychologist says ‘’dark triad’’ fits more primary psychopathy and I disagree with that…
