who up hating pop psychology

[dodgeryy]

Today I saw somebody ask a creator to talk about "dark empaths" in the comments of their video about NPD. (Narcissists/Narcissism whateva)

One of these things is made up bs the other is a psychiatric disorder you can actuslly be diagnosed with.

Where's the empath section of the DSM V I haven't seen it?

Like stfu learn what you're talking about and stop using clinical terms alongside your popsych garbage.

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.

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(?)

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

[levilie]

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

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

Shit, I feel guilty now

I didn't feel guilty for a long time

I didn't feel empathy for a long time

Maybe I did but simply ignored those feelings because they made me feel weak

But now I feel weak for not feeling those emotions

I feel guilty for not feeling those emotions

I feel bad for not feeling bad for a long time
