Here are some common signs of a dark empath:

- They're reluctant to talk about themselves.
- They seem too eager to get to know you.
- You frequently catch them in lies.
- They do cruel or mean things while pretending to be nice.
- They think they're better than others.
- They're perceptive and can tell what others are thinking.
You can spot a dark empath by noticing people that are empathic but who use that ability just to get their own needs met. I don't think that most people do that maliciously. I think it's just the way that they feel they need to be in the world. But once they recognize that they don't need to be that way, then they can change that behavior.
