My father traumatized me the same way. He provided materialistic things, made me feel good and then suddenly switched off. Whenever I tried to oppose, he would guilt trip me through emotional blackmail saying I sacrificed this and that, I gave you this and that. And this is how you treat you parent. And it actually destroyed my sense of self. I am a highly sensitive person since childhood. My parents particularly my father has a passive agressive behaviour. To adjust to that I changed myself since childhood. In 16 years of my life I never knew who I was. And this still affects me even after leaving my family. I have to unlearn and recognize my inner child and a lot of deep work. Its a dyfuctional family trait. And I am going to outgrow it. Dark empathy is not always intentional, in a lot of cases its gentical. Like the way you are brought up is the same way you are going to rise your child. Genetical Dark Empathy in my opinion is Generational Trauma which was never acknowledge. Given the person was never strong enough to acknowledge their weaknesses. Or even if they did acknowledge they did not have that much willpower in themselves to change. As change is a really painful proccess the more deeper it is. I want to blame everything on my father but at times I just dont get angry, I just pity him for what he has become. He always had choices and he always made the decisions leading to negative result. Even to this day he just blames everything that happned to him on external world, my mom, sisters, me. And when there is no one left to blame he will blame his fate. Like fate dosent even exist. Its all about choices. And even though people think lowly of highly sensitive persons.
I am proud of being a HSP because of this I didnt stay quiet about everything that was wrong with me and my family. I am strong in a way normal people can never be. And I MADE myself strong. My trauma just caused damage it didnt build me up.

Ah, common. You want to stick a label on everything, thinking it will somehow protect you.
The ultimate goal is what needs to be judged. To save someone stuck on a remote island it may be easier and also necessary to lie to am official, who loves cats.
So, you love cats as well, you show photos of your cat. The official likes you, but is unsure if they should listen to you.
So, you become their friend. Help with cats and watch Netflix together.
You spend time together, until they think of you as a friend. You ask again, send a rescue boat to the person stranded on the island.
They refuse. So, you listen to them and agree, while displaying tears and sadness. They feel guilty, and kind of agree to help.
The boat arrives, saves the original object of concern. Yay!
Good thing also, the the whole reason the original subject was stranded on that island, was to create this whole situation. In order to gain their trust, so that it can later give access to the bank account.

I'm a bit machiavellian in a way, and outwardly empathetic but I feel like this descriptor is a veiled way of taking shots at certain people. No, I'm always consciously giving up my secrets by explaining what I know, so I'm not using my adventatious position to hurt others, more often I'm there to guide them through it so they don't get caught up. The thing that bums me out though is the (imo) incorrect characterization of what can all be machiavellian and empaths often lose ground in fights for causes simply because they get outplayed by those using those tools. It don't necessarily have to be malicious in nature. Just, functionally adept.

After completing this video I am almost certain to be a potential Dark Empath myself though I am often hesitant to perform some of the acts you mentioned like spreading rumours about others, especially when they are particularly harmful in a malicious perspective, because knowing the people I am surrounded by, it would be easy for my target to identify me as the provocator of gossip, that would essentially set me up for a confrontation, of course that could be preventable with a really misleading lie that (hopefully) wouldn't direct any suspecion onto me, but supposing it fails, there are many people that could defeat me easily.

This is a pathetic misunderstanding of empathy. When you are both an empath AND have strong logic, it is a natural extension of your life-skills to learn to be a cognitive empath. Now you have the power to manipulate. You can use that power to do good things, or bad things. An instinctive empath faces the same choice but the decision is made by their subconscious. In both cases, the person could be a dark empath - either an instinctive dark empath, or a cognitive dark empath. Empathy is like a gun in this respect. You can murder people or save people with it.

I grew up with strict parents, I eventually became a dark empath pretty quickly, I read their emotions, then I started to do things to get what I want, I tried to make them happy while asking for something so I could get it, I knew what to say at the right time, I basically had to use lots of tricks just to get what I want and to avoid getting yelled at. Soon enough I started to feel like I was getting corrupt or smth, however I didn't hurt others on purpose, unless I was bored (you can ask my obnoxious little nephew)

This video disgusts me
I am greatly disappointed that this kind of thing is made popular.
I have never seen such a larger pile of bs in my life
You may as well be saying here is the personality type of all Christians', the worst type of human
Since everything in this video is literally the teachings of Christianity.
This is a massive oversimplification of a very complex topic, and in doing so, is not even accurate or representative of reality anymore.

The interesting thing here is that psychopaths are near immune to dark empaths because they lack almost all emotion. Sociopaths, on the other hand, are the most vulnerable in the world because they act emotionally and impulsively. Psychopaths and Dark Empaths both have one up on another type, but Sociopaths only face disadvantages. (I know mental disorders are not a game, I just thought it was interesting)

I know very damn well I am a dark person, but I often resist the urge to do anything to hurt other people, hell I'm really trying to be genuine with everyone because despite being curious as to what would happen if I did x or y thing, I simply do NOT want to hurt anyone, nobody deserves such thing out of the blue
However, when I meet annoying narcisist people, oh-ho that's a whole 'nother story.

I think this video has helped me understand my own internal workings just a bit better, not to say that I am a dark empath but to say I am not unfamiliar with any of these red flags in my own behaviour even among my best moments, in spite of my constant attempts to be better than I have been.

Im an empath, i am also autistic, i use my knowledge to seem more normal and friendly because i have 0 social skills and have no idea how to behave normally so i rely on my empathy to tell me whether i'm doing something wrong.

I dont think this term should have ever been created. Its easy to understand empathy if you understand it. But if the person leans on the ASPD spectrum too thats basically what a dark empath is. No need for another term.

What sucks is that where I grew up I was surrounded by dark empaths and since I was an out going friendly person they all took advantage of me. In other words they broke me physically and mentally

If a cluster of traits that defines a dark empath is not statisticaly prevelant in the population, what are we even talking about here? Some imaginary diagnosis?

The dark empath sounds way too similar to a covert/vulnerable narcissist as opposed to the overt narcissist. Do we really need to muddy the waters more?
