Send us a textAre you emotionally intelligent… but sometimes use that power to influence outcomes in your favor? Do you feel others' emotions deeply, yet find yourself subtly manipulating situations? You might be a dark empath—a personality type that's gaining serious attention in psychology circles.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood psychological profiles: the dark empath personality. I share a raw story from my high school years, where I used my emotional insight not to help—but to control. It’s a confession, a reflection, and a lesson all in one—with a moral twist you won’t see coming.I’ll break down:What makes a dark empath different from the Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathyThe fine line between emotional intelligence and emotional manipulationHow cognitive empathy and affective empathy play into this dualityWarning signs that you or someone you know may be a dark empathAnd most importantly, how to channel this trait for good, instead of guiltPsychologists are now exploring dark empaths as complex individuals who possess a high level of empathy—but also show tendencies for control, subtle dominance, and strategic charm. If you’ve ever felt like you can read people easily, and sometimes use that awareness to win arguments, gain attention, or avoid conflict while still being “the good person” — this episode is your mirror.Whether you’re fascinated by personality psychology, navigating toxic relationships, or simply trying to better understand yourself, this episode gives you the tools to identify, reflect, and grow.🎧 Press play and find out: Are you a dark empath?
