The Narcissist Who Cares (Kind Of): What is a Dark Empath? They’re Not Nice — Just Good at Faking It!

They feel your pain… and might use it against you.

In this spine-tingling episode, we expose the lesser-known personality type that combines emotional awareness with manipulative intent: the dark empath.

Unlike classic empaths who are nurturing and emotionally giving, dark empaths possess cognitive empathy—but they use it to manipulate, guilt-trip, and control. Think of them as emotional shape-shifters.

We uncover:
🧠 The psychological mix of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy
⚠️ 5 warning signs that you’re dealing with a dark empath
💬 How their kindness can feel off — because it often is
🌀 Why they leave people feeling confused, exploited, or guilty
🎭 How they weaponize empathy to control narratives and reputations

This episode will change how you think about charm, connection, and what real empathy looks like.

🎧 Listen in, trust your gut, and learn to spot the signs before you’re tangled in someone else’s emotional web.
