Dark Empath Vs Narcissist | The Most Dangerous Personality Types

[@sergiovillanueva630]

Narcissus (Greek myth) was so in love with himself that he fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. He died just looking at himself. That’s where the word Narcissism came from and they failed to mention it and it should give you a better understanding of it.

[@Recovery-Dawg]

That's how I was taught as well. Years ago. Like 15 years ago.

[@razrwave1399]

...doesn't tell why Narcissus evolved like that. I mean: you must be stupid if you only let others define yourself and you loving them unconditionally...no matter how bad they treat you in return.

[@Recovery-Dawg]

@razr wave usually stems from childhood trauma from parents. Or at least with me that's what I've learned through therapy. I was that guy who would try to make it work till my entire world was upside down.

As an INFJ myself, I can relate because I met a covert narcissist and it heavily damaged me. According to C.S. Joseph, we highly empathetic people have a deep need to identify and get rid of bad people in our lives; this "door-slam" mechanism should be reserved for the Cluster-B people as it protects us from internal damage. Do you know your MBTI type?

That's right, dark empaths are meant to be able to counter narcissists, and usually aren't bad.

[@nisshoku1568]

Interesting, I used to think I was a dark empath, bc of my dark thoughts, but I hate lying, and manipulation. I prefer to get what I want through brutal honesty, then at least in this why you can't say I lied or manipulated you, plus usually I don't want to use other people, I like to do things myself. People most of the time disappoint me. I expect a lot out of myself, and in turn my close friends, but it's usually too much pressure.

Huh, my Ex often told me I'm a narcissist and try to gaslight her. She did this in an effort to gaslight me tho - I never screamed, she did as soon as she disliked a discussed topic. I never got handsy, she liked to push me when she got irritated. In reality, I'm closer to a twisted Dark Empath. Twisted because I don't get annoyed by people selflessly and/or innocently doing good - while I take freedom to judge, counter and manipulate those that would do bad without any higher reasons. As for relationships, I don't truly understand love and I want to experience it - in that effort, I can nod my head for a time and try my honest attempt at talking about problems, but when a calm and communicative approach gets instantly demolished by a partner, there is a point where I look in their face and suddenly realize - it's not worth it and my intention of trying to find happiness to share has failed, at which point I try to quickly and safely end the relationship. Just logical, the more hatred is around the more likely it gets for someone to try and sabotage my life, and I can't have that. Essentially, I play a near constant good person to fit in a calm environment, trying to achieve happiness somehow and function as a person. Any actual dark urges, I take out on those doing negative stuff to others in an effort to seem justified in the eyes of others, boosting their trust in me and thus making life even easier overall. I love/hate this life.

[@marian9410]

I don't quite know. I have told my family recently exactly what I think of them and made fun of their nonsense trying to gaslight me. In my view they fully deserved what they got. Mother, brother and sister all narcs in variations. I showed their schemes and mentioned how they were saying things to me but doing other things and how they were manipulating me. I wrote this in emails so each one could see what I thought of the other. I would not do that normally with anyone, but these people have manipulated me so badly over the decades, they needed to be told in my view. If that hurt their sensitivities/feelings as a narc, I am sorry, that is not on me, but them. I have gone no contact with them now. So in my view, as an empath, it doesn't take my empathy away if I occasionally fend for myself and in the process it hurts someone (who frankly as a narc is constantly oversensitive to anyone daring to criticise them anyway). I did it in full and open view of each one of them, because I can't stand manipulation. I don't think that is dark empathy. And if someone is a narc now I just let them go straight away. I don't have time for counter manipulation or something like that

My psychopathic father was such an excellent dark empath that, while he was severely abusing me, he had everyone convinced that he was one of the sweetest and most sensitive people they'd ever met. In addition to this charm, he managed an amount of charisma that was only undercut by his flakiness, alcoholism, and slips into open self-pity. Nevertheless, people have always been captivated by this deeply and compulsively cruel man, calling him "impressive" and "quite something." Despite the horrors of his psyche, which I know well, his immediate presence can overtake people with a joie de vivre that's hard to find in life. In the moment, they will pay anything for this, and they may pay dearly if they get too close to him... I joke that I am Satan's daughter.

@@N.asper02 Child abuse by parents is surprisingly common. Children are far more likely to be abused by people they know, including relatives, than by strangers.

In my father, there was an element of narcissism that isn't always present in psychopaths, but he, too, would talk up us kids to strangers and colleagues.

If I read him right, my father gaslighted us both for fun and for the challenge, as if it were a sport.

they play the fassade on the outside and are demons on the inside. My father was known for his poetry and generosity to all. He passed last year and I have a difficult time telling members in my extended family what the truth was. He was not authentic because his outside life did not reflect his home life. But they all think they can continue to hold their love for him dear, when at the same time 'understanding' my pain. Well no, folks. Once you are told the demon someone was, you have to make a choice. Either you trust me and start seriously reviewing the world you have lived in with my father or you ignore what I said and you continue living in your fantasy world in which my father was a 'good' man. Its horrible to see that others can't face the truth. I am losing people who are good people because my father played a fassade of love and care with them.....

[@tien__1028]

Can I know what makes a dark empath? From a young age, I lied almost about everything, only because I feared I'd get into trouble if I didn't. I stole a lot, but never from family members and friends, because I wanted to preserve their trust, I was violent as a child, fighting often, and being liable to anger. I am better at controlling this now, but it has now transformed into resentment. For years I have spent time alone, away from family and friends because I feel like an outsider. My complicated childhood made connecting with people difficult. I never had the same people around me for long. When I felt I had made a connection with a person, I'd be moved away. I know a few of my close friends and work bosses are narssacists. I've realized dark personalities take to me, from my friends who are involved in the street life, selling drugs, violence, etc; to my people in high positions. I'm very manipulative, often not to people who I believe are trying to be good, but to those who I feel have a dark personality I'm manipulative and tend to act vulnerable. This I believe is a tactic I learned because of my dad. I went from living with my mother from birth till the age of six, to living with my father from the age of six till the age of ten, to then living abroad with cousins of mine. I believe I'm a little bit of a narcissist because I was always praised from a young age by my mother, she'd promise I'm destined for greatness, and even today after not seeing her for 18 years of my life she still promises me these things. Living with my father was different. He had me through an affair, so I was always treated differently by my half-sister, his oldest child. During the early stages, I'd fight with her whenever I felt she went too far, but my father would always take her side, so I stopped. This is when I became her punching bag. I won't go into detail, but I was admitted to the hospital because of how she'd treated me; my dad never seemed to care much when things like this happened. She loved control, but would always act like the perfect child to my father and others. I think she loved picking on me because I was the youngest in the house, she probably saw that as having power over me. Because I was made through an affair, in the eyes of everyone around I was a burden/bad omen, so no one seemed to care when my sister would do these things. My culture is quite narcissistic, we were made to care about how we appear to others, but not in a healthy manner. We had to act like we were perfect to others. My dad and stepmom would fight, throwing things at each other, and my dad would threaten to throw me out into the harsh streets of Nigeria and never allow me to return. When my father wasn't home my sister would lock me out of the house until he was on his way back, my sister would wake me up at 5am in the morning, beat me, and tell me to do her chores before she came home later that day, all while telling me she loves me and showering me in affection. There is more to go into, but I won't. There are a good 14 years I will skip. Today at the age of 24, I've realized I don't trust easily. I push people away often, and I'm good at recognizing lies. I can be intimidating, only when I feel a bloodlust, which doesn't happen often. I like walking through graveyards at night, often I'd sit, and eat in them. Academically am challenged, but I am emotionally intelligent and have common sense. I don't believe I am intelligent, but I am told I am intelligent once I open up and talk about my interests; socially I am awkward, I am bad at small talk, I am observant, I participate in not-so-good things because I am bored and they give me a rush, I am often used as the muscle by my street friends because in the world of crime, I'm not stupid and I am willing. I think I only do these things, in a rush, and for someone to owe me one. I don't like people doing me favors, or owing people things, I feel vulnerable if I do. My pain tolerance is high. I am unstable in relationships, often leaving first and I don't know why. I feel I can't be myself around others, because I don't know my true self. People I have grown closer than usual to often have autism, ADHD, PTSD, etc. My dream is to build a community or family where I feel like I fit in. I box, I can punch hard, and I am skillful, but I often hold back from punching. I sometimes enjoy being punched in the ring, and because of this, I am good at taking punches. I crave power and wealth, I have observed how people treat others when they have these things and I like it. I understand there is a pecking order, but I don't care much for figures with powers, like the police. I have been arrested, and I acted innocent (I was), which made them willing to trust me. I can be brutally honest, but family members seem to like it. I am impulsive. There is a lot more to write, but I don't want to share those here. I also don't see the need for therapy but would like to try. People come to me with their problems, because I am good at understanding when they explain. I give people my time and listen to their problems, even if I don't want to. I don't seem to care much unless I imagine myself in the person's shoes. It doesn't matter who they are to me. I see getting arrested, or in trouble as annoying, but nothing more. I can be very calm under pressure. I break the bones in my hands to make them grow back thicker, I often experiment like this on myself. I feed cats in my area, and I love animals. I get along with animals better than I do with people, but I have urges to dissect dead birds when I see them laying around. That began to scare me after the Dharma documentary. This is all for now. 13:34 GMT 26/01/23

The love of my life and I are both very intelligent, narcissistic and empathic as a result of childhood traumas. But both of us determined to adhere to truth and honor. It was on when we met. Took us about four years to be comfortable committing fully. But in spite of our difficult personalities, we have grown together and have had more with each other than we thought existed. We added Death Before Dishonor and Word Is Bond to the traditional wedding vows. Some of us dark and selfish personality types are also victims, often from earlier in their lives. The point is we both hold ourselves to a higher standard and we recognize that we will inevitably not always agree. So conflict resolution and willingness to say sorry are indispensable. Otherwise we would each have one Vd more divorce. Instead we are still with our best friend and lover. It’s not so much the type of energy that you have.

If she's 17 years old and living at home, there's a chance you're not seeing genuine psychopathic behavior. She could be mimicking a parent's behavior, as kids do, thinking that their parents' behavior must be the right way to do things. It's uncommon for two psychopathic types to be in a relationship together because psychopaths prefer to have an easy mark or victim. However, there are the occasional "Bonnie and Clyde" type pairings. It would be more typical for the partner of a dark empath to be narcissistic.

I was close to this one guy for a few years, and we quickly became friends after meeting in my junior year of high school, he was super charismatic, he seemed to be able to talk his way into basically any group and sort of just shrugged off the ones that he didn't, he loved talking about himself and his achievements as well. over time I started to see a lot of the things he had bragged about or whatever to just be lies I just kind of rolled my eyes at a lot of them. I eventually called him out on one super obvious lie that I was able to easily prove, it was interesting to see how he legitimately seemed to believe his own Bullshit, even with evidence to clearly show he wasn't telling the truth he stood by his statement and eventually changed the subject.. at this point I started watching him pretty closely seeing as he was heavily connected to a lot of my good friends and a huge influence on them and other people as well, and this is when I noticed he wasn't only a chronic liar he was also a thief, he would go to the store and he would come back with way more than he actually paid for (what was listed on the receipt ). we both played trading card games and Peoples cards would go missing a lot of the time when he was around and later he would have the same cards that had gone missing claiming either traded for it with someone or pulled it from a pack. given the nature of trading card games it wasn't an easy thing to prove and anytime someone would call him out on it , he would talk his way out of it and or get pissed and leave, he also liked using the things he stole as gifts for people I noticed seemingly to gain favor or whatever. the only time I ever caught him stealing something that he stopped was when I caught him trying to steal my DSI, he played it off with something like "Oh hey I think this dropped out of your bag". my ultimate breaking point was when we were all over at a friend's house for the weekend and for said friend's birthday party and the guy I have been talking about was there as well, we all had a great time but then a week later the friend who's birthday it was had been asking people if anyone took/borrowed some games from him listing off a list of a good number of games, but I had remembered that I saw the guy at gamestop a few days prior trading in those exact games from that list...a lot of which I was sure he never owned considering they were not his type of game the dude was into RPG's and a lot of the games in question were FPS games .... what really sucks is that when I told my friend I litterally saw the guy trading those games in towards a copy of skyrim he went and talked to the guy and just bought his lies, he then turned it around on me and made it sound like I was just out to get him and I was just a toxic person who shouldnt be trusted... they are still friends with eachother to this day the guy even leached off him for a while moving in with my friend and a couple other people... one of the guys who lived with them even tried to call him out on stealing a large sum of money from him once and my friend once again took the guys side its disgusting how wrapped around his finger he has him... anyways safe to say I have ended ties with both of them at this point I wish my friend the best and I just hope he eventually wakes up and see's the guy for the asshole he is..

[@ozge6888]

i think that there is no such thing like a dark empath or the narcissist is the dark empath because narcissists do feel cognitive empathy but not affective empathy ( sympathy ) and cognitive empathy is all about understanding other's emotions and thinking that's how exactly the narcissists manipulate I mean how tf can someone manipulate you if they don't understand your thoughts and emotions and the thing you are talking about in the end seems like a covert narcissist because the end signs are about covert narcissist

I think I teeter on the edge of dark empath, but I'm not ambitious. I've displayed some traits in stressful situations of living conditions but not super sure about today. I will say, I think growing up around a strong narcissist makes it easy for someone to develop empathetic traits and use them as need be to keep safe. planting arguments, building confidence and supposed understanding, subtle thought planting, etc. Might have just been using simple behavioral patterns and psychology to my advantage as a defense mechanism or maybe dark empath? I don't twist my friends though, so I know "teetering" is the closest i could be, not a real dark empath.

you hit the nail on the head there for me. Its the intention. when I am away from my family of origin, all narcs, I feel liberated and dont' feel like I have to hide myself or enter into games.

That tells me if I had grown up in a normal family, I would never had the needs to shout at others or make sure i am competitive enough to hold my own, all those narc behaviours that were necessary to survive in my family of origin. I am 59 now, have gone through decades of soul searching and it has taken me that long to have recently gone no contact with the narc mother, brother and sister. The father, also a narc, recently passed. He was authoritarian and I have finally been able to free myself from all of them.

[@whipivy]

LOL @5:37 "your kindness will go a long way," every narcissist watching this just subscribed. Something which seems to be overlooked is narcissists prioritize reputation over controlling people because they know that reputation establishes trust which is a component in manipulating people. People who babble on about how concerned they are for others are narcissistic when they don't actually believe in the hardships that they are claiming they have empathy with are accurate or even relevant. The problem with this is that narcissists in particular will lie as to whether or not they actually care about the unfortunate circumstances of others. So if the say they care about an identity group because they feel that group is socially persecuted, you can just assume that they don't really care about that whether it's true or not because their motivation revolves around their reputation established by an appearance of caring. Social media rewards these people as often status is an integral feature in these platforms with "likes" or an echo chamber of comments, the ability to delete comments, sharing posts, as does politics, as does philanthropic gatherings. Their primary interest is how people perceive them, therefore we should not be surprised to see narcissism being discussed more as the importance of reputation in society seems to be ever increasing. And though a dark empath and a narcissist might not associate well, it's well established now that narcissists will actually work together to build each others reputations in society, this falls under the concept of mass formation psychopathy which has at times formed subcultures.

Having to heal from a dark empath or the dark triad is difficult and a very vulnerable place to find yourself.

I am sure that I have empathy, because I can easily read peoples emotions and feel quickly when something is wrong with them. Mostly I just kinda avoid talking to them so they have some time alone or I just don't care. Sometimes I even provoke them a bit if they are in a bad mood. I honestly don't feel bad about it, I feel nothing. When people cry I have to act that I care so that I don't seem like heartless and careless. Last sommer I swam in the pool with my cousin and some friends of her. I talked a bit with her friends next to the pool and I was fully dry. But then my cousin splashed the water to make me wet. Out of revenge I jumped in the pool and pressed her under the water. After 1-3 secounds I pulled her above the water, told her to breath and pushed her down again. I did that two or three times and I had fun. But then I looked at her friends and they looked kinda shoked. I panicked, so I pulled her up again and said: "I am so sorry. That was to much. Are you okey? Sorry. " The thing is, I didn't mean what I said. I just acted like it because I didn't want them to think I was crazy. Another case is. I was watching ski sports with my parents and someone had an accident and fell down the hill. Everyone looked shoked but I wasn't. I felt nothing.

I’m an empath with 90% narcissistic friends. Most of these narcissists are grandiose, some covert and some malignant towards me. Being around them has just made me aware of who they are. Lack of empathy, inability to own their mistakes. It has given me a spiritual awakening to see they don’t see the world the same way I do but has made it easier to not waste my energy on their negative agenda. I can walk through their world without abusing my empathy for power. That hasn’t changed. I still just want to help people but would rather help fellow empaths who are being destroyed by these narcs, clouding this world with negativity

But overal, over many many years, meeting many many bad people with really bad intentions made me hate any sort of manipulation. Therefore i think i have changed since being a teenager. I simply started to hate injustice more and more as i kept seeing it everywhere. And thats why i believe no type of character never stays the same, its dynamic of how you percieve the world as you are learning about it and experiecing it.

He used religion to control me and my sisters growing up and when we had our falling out, he used it and every one of my mistakes and character flaws against me while deflecting responsibility of what he had done. It actually blew my mind especially when I realized that I had never heard him apologize for anything ever. I apologize to wife all the time, even for stupid shit like clumsily stepping on her foot or bumping into her because I wasn't paying attention. I've never seen my dad do anything like. His punishments were always extreme and I wonder if he was projecting on me or if it was he didn't want me to be like him.

I gave him some cookies. Told him what he wanted to hear. But I noticed that I'm always one step behind, there's no way I can compete with a mind that is just mathematics - no feelings or emotions - in which the focus is just winning and hurting. I know he wouldn't feel anything even if his mother died, but I still managed to "play" with him a little... I made him prove, even if just a little, what it's like to face manipulation, inconstancy, indifference, superficiality and deception. I became something like a dark empath, in which I found myself laughing like a maniac after planning and carrying out each of these actions.

And it really scares the 'f*&#' out of them. Like they thought they were messing with an 'ant' and see that they woke up a 'deadly dragon'. And it always come out of intuition never because of pre-calculated behaviour. I was raised in a very harsh enviroment: war, physical and mental abuse. Had to learn to fend for myself and help out my parents who had suffered plenty to raise me. It's like the environment carved me to what i am. I'm a big believer in God, whatever brought me here will bring me home. And i believe God never makes mistake...if i'm the way i am it's God's plan. I was carved by his hands.

@@Whoisashotn yea man. The best example i can give is when people are in a toxic relationship and are blissful to that fact. They put up with alot they wouldnt usually. Then when the relationship is over the snap of the bliss and realize everything. That bliss state could be a key factor is most personality traits. If maybe that could be the key to prevent extreme consequences in the long run. My example isnt the best but i hope it gets my msg across.

I am working on changing my personality type, as a dark empath my behaviour has led me to a lonely life, everyone has left me and i can not maintain a romantic relationship. I have now isolated myself and I am working towards a healthier mindset.

[@altenberg-greifenstein]

Narcissists never feel guilty for hurting you, and same goes for dark empaths, who are logically also just narcissists.

[@Bogdan-uu5oe]

Not really, dark empaths are closer with ADHD than narcissism.

[@nehemiahmathews8683]

I only found you because of the algorithm of an unsubscribed non profiled account. Anyway I have been diagnosed with ADHD major depressive disorder antisocial personality disorder bipolar 1 and bipolar 2 post-traumatic stress disorder however now I realize that it is borderline personality disorder that accumulates the sum of my mental health. However watching your programs now I've come to realize that I do bear personality traits of both a narcissist and the dark empath. And it can also be quite psychopathic. I try to be a good person and I think genuinely I am. I make a conscious effort many times over the days course to not give in to various behaviors I would consider Denigrating or excessively manipulative of a negative consequence to others. I can be very charming even witty. I am divorced I've only just recently been able to follow through with things, from building a model airplane to making an appointment and keeping it. And that's not steady endeavor. I try be like everyone else that seems happy. I don't try to pretend to be happy I'm a finlander this is how we are however the innocent traits of innocent souls is what I try to embody I t shouldn't be a matter of try. I come from a nuclear family with two loving biological parents I was never abused or beaten or who-knows-what so I guess I'm kind of at a loss for how I ended up this way. Yeah life's a funny thing

I’m a mix of a normal and dark empath I can turn off my feelings and still understand how someone feels but I won’t put others above my own stability. Most empaths give away too much or don’t know how to gain power so being a bit of a dark empath helps.

I've met Dark Empaths and various types of Narcissists. None of them are pleasant to deal with. They all have their own agendas in getting money, power, and control over people. They will be kind to your face but the minute you walk away they are saying all sorts of mean hurtful things about you and others. The best thing that you can do is to put up barriers, set boundaries, and keep your distance from them.

I have a logical mind and my emotions do not sway me often. I'm immune to Dark Empathy, however in some cases I see the merit in narcissistic tendencies in certain situations. Is it wrong yes but I do see the why in some cases. Objectively speaking.

Is being a narcissist just being a genuinely good person with a huge ego and fragile self image? Or am I just a wierd person

[@theonpointheavy4401]

If you would harm others to protect your own ego and image, than no, you are not a good person.

[@michellekarst3537]

Uhm. I know 2 narc and one of them stole A LOT of money from his family members, only ever rly cares about his looks (literally), is a cheater and a huuuuge crybaby. And he can manipulate the living hell out of you, is emotionally abusing his gf (he does whatever he wants & doesn’t care about her feelings, but if she tries to do that, she already knows he’ll make her regret it). You never know where you’re at with that person, because they can seem really flattering too. The other one is extremely manipulative and a chronic liar as well, you think you’re close to them but when given the chance they won’t mind hurting you & lying about things you’ve said and done to put you in a bad light and themselves in a better one. You’re not a narcissist if you’re simply insecure. Everyone is insecure. Do you excessively manipulate the ones you care about and don’t mind hurting them (and not feeling bad about it afterwards) because it benefits you in some way?

[@longmatey80]

9:40 - Any times I've encountered a dark empath.... Welp... I have a list of ex girl friends. Here are my personal notes. 1) Rachel Smith - Kind eyes, tries to control every situation. HOT. (Note - never date again and AVOID EYE CONTACT YOU DUMMY, it's like your kryptonight). 2) Loren Thompson - She stalked you until you noticed her and then dated her knowing she stalked you... why did you do this. (Note - you had to get your room de-bugged). 3) Loren's Sister - never date an ex's sister... no matter how many times they say it won't effect them... every. never do this again. ever. You lost an xbox and a hamster because of this. 4) Abi R - Girls from the Gym - if they can bench more than you, that's a no go. She literally benched you into submission my dude. It was implied you were the little spoon (never forget this feeling).

[@killianalexandergunn8625]

I understand your irritation with these videos and it's true some don't talk about this stuff in the right way. Also the game of life isn't as simple as it used to be. There are new things, beliefs, ideas, etc that makes the world more complicated. So do you think that most people have the natural ability to navigate the world or do they need to learn and be taught how to?

[@holly-jothompson3717]

to speak to a more detailed maybe seperation of the two. in one sense of differences a dark empath would go longer if ever discovered, a narcissist falls victim to themselves, ie they are so self based in their way of going about things they will encounter a pitfall so to speak or their grand design or plan they have, will ultimately collapse in on itself because they lack the ability of empathy (or rather maybe better stated) while they may know of the term or that empathy exists, their narcissism doesnt allow them to see the useful aspects of empathy and how it can be implemented in to their stratedgy toward whatever goal or desired outcome, result, perceived reward etc when discussing which is more dangerous or harmful, you shouldnt soecificaly compare the two , ior rephrase the statement to provide a concise and universal and also accurate understanding, by using words, terms phrasology etc that have zero ability or roots tied to being influenced by subjectivity or as close to nill as exhuasting possible.... both types are hurtful, to others, but their delivery methods differ immediately i kinda of distinctify their difference in hurting others by relating them to differnt styles of car racing competitions, narcissit would be basically a hill climb a time trial or a drag race type of harm delivery where as the dark empath would be a competitor in an endurance race or more sipmply a multiple lap race that would necessitate more than one or two pit stops wehich then you start to see an outline of distinct seperations of harm or hurt caused, by each I am coming from a basis of which would be getting back to a level of homeostatis or to a state that was before the bad actor came into the persons life, simple way to think of it getting back to zero from a negitive integer/number or better meaning positive, and that the dark emparth would be around longer so to say so the damage done would in general be more enduring after they are no longer present and thus the physical effort or work needed to repair undone saiud damage, as well as the internal or emotional energy or taxation upon ones self to embark and maintain the journey to healing would id think be quite a bit more signifigant when compared to that of a narcissists i could and kinda want to go on but i realize this is a comment section and nnot a public speaking convention hall or event there are so many other points mentioned in the video and comments id like to extrappolate on or i guess add on to them which from personal experiences with both types over a time of at minimum 10 years with some and a coupple spanning 30+ years and from helping a hadful of friends frst hand accounts in real time of their being hurt by these types and being there for them in which ever way possible for the end result that would be them properly healing from it and moving on, when ever it happend and then sourcing log established and universally vetted excepted sources of learning in order to further and assert my theories etc, and for sake of sheer curiosity of all things, n id start reading universituy based textbooks etc i would welcome any insight or criticism and even approval but thats not why i posted but will be thatnked and appreciat4ed
