almost 3 years ago i met a fake empath who was very nice at first, then i got a crush on her and we got togheter. some time after she always would just diagnose me for anything id do and everytime id say she was wrong i would get threatened and treated extremely badly bcuz i am always right and you are wrong and you need to be punished for that. everytime id get sad or in a mad mood, she would always tell my friends omg your friend is sad just go and help him and she wouldnt do anything abt it other than just stop being sad already its nothing. i tried leaving her multiple times also but she would just guilt trip me, i am going to kill myself if you leave, you just leave me because i am always right and you are mad about it you can always just listen to me and we can forget about this. and when i finally did (after 2 entire years of suffering) most of her friends just insulted me because they were also manipulated into thinking she is a real empath.
its been 1 year ssince the relation, its still extremely painful for me thinking about it.

I don't know if diagnose is exactly the right word. BUT wherever they look they automagically know what your problem is, and have to tell you about it. The worst part is that there doesn't even have to be an actual problem. BUT they know what it is, and that it's DEFINITELY YOURS. and somehow you NEED to find out all about it.
Granted, sometimes we have a personal problem or issue and we SHOULD find out about it through some well reasoned and sensitively handled advice. BUT most times, we just need to work through our own sht on our own.
AND a fair chunk of the time, the so-called empath who knows whatever your problem is, really IS just projecting their own crap onto you to feel better about themselves. It's infuriating. and makes for a very quick and easy route to a punch in the nose. while I storm out of the room. ;o)

Well, when you study stuff about psychology, it's hard to not try and diagnose someone. But it hinges on whether you keep it to yourself and/or use the information to make things better for the person concerned, instead of using it as a weapon against them or gossiping about your findings to others who aren't involved.
Personally, I HAVE semi-diagnosed a friend and told another friend about it. However, the reason was that the other friend was pissed with the person in question and insulting them, so I felt the need to proposition a clinical explanation of their emotional problems to clear their name. It worked because the other friend started to feel bad when I put it that way and stopped blaming the friend, saying she didn't think things through from the other's POV.

Remember kids this is Just an opinion all of this is man-made ideology and all of us could be completely wrong and empaths could be something much more than what we think all these videos pissed me off So far it's kind of annoying to think people actually think they can tell what you're exactly thinking and call you a fake empath order a real one You're the only person who knows You cannot spot another one because you cannot read minds. I've been called a fake empath several times which I don't really care because I know how I feel inside and I know how hard it is day by day having that It's not something to be proud of it's not something to celebrate it sucks It's awful

For those of you who 'diagnose' people. :) Just remember that one constellation of symptoms could be a number of different things - and most likely, it is a normal person without any problems.
Just because people use fake empathy, does not mean they are narcissists; a rough period does not make them bipolar; being insecure due to past experiences does not mean someone is co dependent. People seem to love labels. But really, they show inability to truly understand and empathise, because humans are more complex than that.

I don't know if I want attention or not but I want everyone to trust me that they'll even open up. But it's just because I'm happy when I can listen someones problems. Especially the people I care about. When I tell them I can be a shoulder to them I can empath with them, is this attention seeking? I'm really asking, I like attention like most of people but I don't try to get all attention on me and even recently I feel like I started isolate myself( I guess I should get a little active in my life)

Im not sure if Im and empath but Ive got this situation with a friend where I was trying to help them figure out why they felt a Certain way so that I could figure out what to do and how to help them stop feeling that way and stop causing a bunch of unneeded drama. Like for example this person kept accusing me and my friend group of bad things that we didnt do and then they started apologizing we told them it was ok they were forgiven but then they would do the same thing all over again.

Ngl, I felt like ever since I tried understanding my mental health and learned more and more terms, diagnosis, etc, it feels like I try to make some sort of analysis on myself and everyone that had an impact to my mental health and I tend to implement those to them. I realize it's probably not the best to do so. I'm just trying to understand from their side and why they acted towards me. It's hard trying to understand yourself while other's too

I never thought i was one im not one and il never be an empath. i dont want to be one. why be empahtetic when you can not it may be a waist of time you could do actually usefull stuff like fixing Problems. Or is laying down your empathetic traits to much effort.
Empaths want good? then stop comforting and start fixing and comforting to get the info they need.
Not everything about this comment is a Statement or an opinion btw

I dont think im a fake empath but not an empath either. I do some of the things said in the video such as analyzing instead of listening or getting defensive if i make a false assumption. But i dont want to pont out im an empath, i just want everyone to feel good like they do around the people that are effortlessly empaths. I can never really feel what the person feels and it bothers me a lot

They can't stand being wrong. I'd add that they can't stand certain types of people -- humble introverts who sing or get actual satisfaction just from being geeks with colorful memories -- demonstrating some sort of appreciation of their self-worth.
I might actually work with one or two of these. I've certainly known a lot more the further back in age I go.

In 1947, a couple of aliens flew to Earth in a silver saucer-shaped craft. After closely observing mankind, they shit themselves laughing and crashed into the desert in Roswell, New Mexico. The US Army found the shit covered craft, conducted an investigation, deduced what happened and out of embarressment told the public it was a weather balloon. ,

Fake empaths sound like pathetic individuals. Not only are they really bad at reading others, but also expose false fairy tales about what others have inside, which is obviously damaging towards the others and their relations, all that ONLY to try to put themselves in a ''High Skill podium'' or something alike.
Sad. Hopefully they learn!

I met one and I didn't understood narcissism well until I met that one.
It's like talking to someone that live in their own bubble, they don't interact with the real you, but want you to be an echo of their own fake empathy. It's pretty insane.
Did not last long, at the second attempt to gaslight, I told them to go away.

I have met alot of fake empaths in my time. Especially my mom. She makes assumptions that are genuinely fake and ridiculous, and I can tell she thinks she is in the right. As an empath, I try to help people in any way I can, but sometimes I feel like some fake empaths are just attention seekers.

Dang, I think I may have some fake empath traits, mostly the analizing/diagnosing one. Empathy doesn't really come naturally for me and I struggle a bit to empathise and understand other people's emotions and perspectives, but it's something I'm really trying to work on.

I may be a fake empath, cause when someone talks to me about how they're feeling i always want to think of solution when they can really just do it theirselves or just wants to talk. Well, time for changing.

If you wanna know a true empath vs a fake, simply pay attention to their words vs their actions. And a super empath wont bend the truth, or lie in order to spare an ego.
