who up hating pop psychology

[deusimminenti]

I'm so glad that ppl on tumblr are dunking on the "dark empath" pop psych fiction because that's one of my fond memes from my irl friends. It's very "Welcome to my twisted mind 😈"

Macdonald triad (children starting fires, cruelty to animals, bedwetting)

Isn't actually largely associated with murder but rather childhood abuse and neglect.

And it often overlooks acceptable forms of fire starting and cruelty to animals.

The dark triad is subclinical symptoms of certain things found in a lot of people (1 in 14) of basically weaker version of npd and aspd

Dark empath is a pop psych term to claim cognitive empathy means someone might secretly be a narcissist or have aspd so therefore bad.

Npd and aspd, just like adhd, have genetic components and symptoms are more pronounced when has suffered childhood trauma or neglect. And neither make someone a bad person.

Going for these things to describe someone as iredeemably evil is.

Abuse apologism.

Ableism.

Scare tacticts designed to get people to trust others less making it easier to control you and less cooperation to make changes happen.

alright.

i have questions and i am not downloading tiktok or using google to find the answers

i know what an empath is. and obviously a lot of people who identify within the empath community make posts about like "How to identify a narcissist/sociopath"

okay

but what is a dark empath

bc i swear ive seen empaths say dark empaths are also evil/another name for narcissists

but also posts implying that "dark empaths" are basically like warrior empaths who are experts in identifying evil evil narcs to protect regular empaths or smth idk

im confused basically . am i (npd haver) what a tiktok empath would call a dark empath or am i (npd haver) two seconds away from having all my manipulation discovered by a dark empath

Narcissist vs Dark Empath cage match

[lucemferto]

Being an empath means always struggling to not use your powers for evil. The neurotypicals, to an empath like me, they are as easy to manipulate as data - data which can be corrupted by a dark empath into dark data.

Case Idea: Athena Cykes claims she's a dark empath

[foxyfrennetic]

This is genuinely the worst video I have ever seen from these guys and that's saying a lot considering they once said that "alpha males" can sniff out when a woman is ovulating(?)

"I'm an empath 🥰," oh, you mean a covert narcissist?

"I'm a dark empath 😈," oh, you mean an overt narcissist?

I can feel the self destruction coming.

I haven’t felt this for years.

I want to cuss Her out and go below the belt. I want to take it way too far. My crazy wants to come out to play. I am almost depleted of fucks.

I know it’s because I am being triangulated. I know it’s because She’s mad I stood up to Her and Her shit this week. She made Herself look like a fool all because She was running from accountability, but She’s mad at me for it. She’s mad because she realised too late that I used Her against Herself to expose Her. I know, devious dark empath tactics.

So to retaliate I believe She fucked Dee and another one I’ll call Kay and she made sure I would see them sneaking away to do it. I saw Kay sneak off to meet her the day after we had our argument. A couple of days after that she was sneaking off with Dee. I feel sick to my stomach. And I know that’s what she wants.

It’s eating me up inside. But I know I don’t have any right to feel this way. I don’t want my crazy to show but it’s simmering. I hate people hurting me and I haven’t done anything to them.

I get that’s part of her plan. She got exposed as a bully and a liar so now she’s playing nice with everybody while turning up the heat on the back burner she had me on. She wants me to burn and seethe. She knows last time she did this triangulation trick I almost lost my mind. She knows how I feel about her and now she’s using me against me. Checkmate, I guess.

I’ve been struggling to find meaning in this world I’ve created around me.

I find myself in a daily cycle of rinse and repeat again, only this time of my own creation. Everything I have is all I’ve ever wanted yet I’m back to a pit of emptiness with little ability to enjoy the miracles at hand.

“Your such a good person.” Someone told me the other day and I talked about the boxes of donation gifts I had in my garage while simultaneously trying to set up another donation drive for those with less than us.

It’s too bad she doesn’t realize I’m not intentionally trying to be a good person, but rather trying to make myself feel better through service.

Sometimes I miss my 12 step roots and wish so badly to go back to that time where I felt good in my own skin again.

I find myself miserable with myself and it’s impacting every aspect of my life, but I can’t seem to get myself out of this place not this time. I used to pride myself on the fact that I was a beacon of light where ever I went no matter the situation I was able to allow Gods light to shine through me. I know that’s still a possibility but I just feel so stuck in this dark place idk how I’ll get out.

It’s like I’m drowning in a pool of my own self loathing and I’ll drag anyone down that comes around me.

I had a mental break down last night. I just felt so isolated and Burnt out. My daughter is 7 months old with the mind set of a 4 month old. The crying wouldn’t stop her naps have become almost nonexistent and my husbands constant video game playing had me at my wits end. Then to top it off I walked in to the computer room after spending hours trying to put our daughter down to him masterbating watching porn on the computer. It’s not the action of him watching porn that upset me I think that was just the breaking point.

My mind flooded with so many thoughts.. how I hate my new body and resent the the thing that created it. How I hardly get a break longer than 30 minutes between my daughters barreling S reaches that seems to put every nerve ending I have at unease. I cracked… or maybe this is just the cycle. I come on here and write when I’m down it’s the closest thing I have to a journal. My writing tends to come in waves bipolar spurts but getting the thoughts out of my head seems to be the only thing other than blowing up that puts me at ease these days. It’s times like this I understand why I used to use drugs to numb the never ending cycle of lows and just stay in the highs but I found peace once I just wish I could again..

So I decided to take a closer look at the theory of "dark empaths" that those cringy YouTube "psychology" channels love to talk about, and wow.

The definitions I've seen range from behaviours that are literally already existing disorders (Cluster B and autism came in mind), or literally just neurotypicals being self-serving and yet they needed to put a little edgy label onto it.
