Everyone has different personality types, and they show this in their traits. There are some people that have a personality that follows that of a psychopath or a narcissist. An empath is someone that is opposite of this personality and when they are around others, they pick up these emotions.
Some research shows though that there are people that can be dark empaths. This means that they have both the dark traits and the traits of the empath. This can be hard to understand but this person can understand your emotions and then manipulate you because of it. This is a very dangerous personality.
Being a Dark Empath
A person that is a dark empath might be someone that is like an energy vampire but different. They won’t take your energy, but they will just identify with the person and use it for their advantage, but they will not have a real emotional connection.
A dark empath will make you feel bad for something you are doing or thinking, and they will cause you to go on a guilt trip. They will want to have your attention, but they won’t feel happy to be with you but just to control you.
Why Are Dark Empaths Dangerous?
A dark empath is dangerous because they can hurt people emotionally. They are not someone that is cold or hateful, but they are someone that will do more harm to you. They can hurt you because they act like they understand your pain and want to help you, but the truth is they just want to cause you to fall.

Recognizing a Dark Empath
There are ways that you can recognize that you are dealing with a dark empath by how they act towards you. They are often extroverted, and they seem to agree with everything you say. They do this to distract you so that they can catch you in something and gaslight you or guilt trip you.
These types of people will keep an emotional distance from you, and they will be self-absorbed with the joy and pain of others. They do this so that they can manipulate you and get what they want.
This is a characteristic that someone is not exactly born with, but they are experienced in these actions. They have a conscious, but they don’t always care or have sympathy for others.
A person that is a dark empath will have a personality that they need to change and deal with. They have to have a professional to help them through this.

Once you recognize this kind of person, you will see that they start out charming and then they become vindictive and will gossip about you. They will do things to bully you such as ghosting you or love-bombing. This kind of person often plays a role of a victim. If you are in this kind of relationship with someone or you are dealing with this person, the best thing you can do is to get out as fast as you can.
