Where art meets psychology.
The Dark Triad traits.
But
all
his
friends
say
that
he’s
a
really
nice
man
-
a
quiet
and
unassuming
kinda
guy!
Better
known
to
everyone
as
Bob,
however,
strangely
enough,
and
for
whatever
reason?
And
often
for
reasons
that
you
yourself
cannot
fully
explain!
Bob
gives
you
the
goosebumps
and
spine-tingling
shivers,
however,
do
pay
careful
attention
to
this
feeling,
as
this
is
your
body
reacting
to
a
bad
vibe.
A
gut
feeling
or
intuition
from
a
place
of
inner
knowing,
providing
you
with
an
insight,
into
the
fact
that
Bob
is
not
all
-
that
Bobs
cracked up to be!
The
dark
triad
personality
traits,
refer
to
people
who
are
high
in
narcissistic
traits,
high
in
Machiavellian
traits
but
also
display
high
levels
of
psychopathy.
The
narcissistic
traits
mean
they
are
highly
egocentric,
hell
bent
on
revenge
with
a
bag
of
wicked
tricks
up
their
sleeves,
while
the
Machiavellian
traits
makes
them
highly
manipulative
with
a
propensity
for
toxic
games
and
psychological
warfare,
while the psychopathic traits make them extremely dangerous, ruthless, cold, calculated and callous.
People
with
high
levels
of
empathy
are
known
as
empaths,
that
empathy
can
be
cognitive
empathy,
or
cognitive
intelligence,
more
head
centred,
often
referred
to
as
cold
empathy
or
dark
empathy
i.e.,
they
will
know
how
you
think.
Empathy
can
be
emotional
empathy or emotional intelligence, more heart centred, often referred to as warm empathy i.e., they will know how you feel.
Empathy
exists
on
a
sliding
scale,
and
towards
the
lower
end,
is
the
Autistic
spectrum.
A
correlate
can
be
found
between
narcissism
and
Autism,
while
another
correlate
is
to
be
found
between
psychopathy
and
Asperges
syndrome.
Both
narcissism
and
psychopathy
are defined by a lack of emotional intelligence and therefore emotional empathy.
As
narcissists
and
psychopaths
will
only
have
cognitive
empathy,
a
cold
and
dark
empathy.
These
people
possess
the
ability
to
know
exactly
how
you
think,
but
as
they
lack
the
emotional
intelligence
aspect,
and
they
can’t
relate
to
how
you
feel.
Many
simply
do
not
care
how
you
feel
nor
will
they
care
about
how
anyone
else
feels.
They
are
commonly
known
as
dark
empaths,
which
might
provide
a
good indication, that these folk are best avoided.
These
dark
empaths
and
dark
triads
are
far
from
cuddly
toys,
so,
please
do
not
provoke
or
antagonize
them!
Using
a
match
to
illuminate
a
canister
that
still
contains
some
petrol
-
about
sums
them
up!
Highly
volatile
and
highly
explosive!!
These
dark
triad
folk
are
less
human
and
more
of
a
destructive
force
of
nature.
This
force
was
well
documented
in
a
much
earlier
version
of
the
DSM,
an
ancient
book
from
long
ago
which
is
called
the
Bible.
It
referred
to
this
as
good
old-fashioned
evil,
while
these
traits
are
indeed
the
essence
of
evil,
only
in
this
toxic
configuration,
the
word
evil,
doesn’t
go
far
enough.
Only
times
have
changed
a
lot
from
way
back
when, so, perhaps in the modern era, evil comes doubly distilled for added potency.
The
official
stats
are
out
now
and
quite
clear
-
nobody
makes
it
out
of
life
alive!
However,
any
encounter
with
a
dark
triad
might
result
in
an
untimely
death
and
a
quick
premature
departure.
As
they’ll
happily
plan
for
your
demise
with
the
same
level
of
consideration,
they’d
give
to
deciding
what
T-shirt
to
wear.
Anyone
unlucky
enough
to
have
encountered
a
dark
triad
themselves
in
the
past,
can
also
count themselves lucky enough, to have survived the ordeal.
Although
both
dark
and
light
empaths
can
be
the
result
of
genetics
alone.
Most
empaths
have
their
roots
based
in
early
childhood
trauma.
Traits
that
were
once
necessary
to
survival,
in
an
upbringing
that
was
far
from
ideal,
raised
in
an
environment
where
chaos
often
resided.
The
age
in
which
this
trauma
occurred
can
have
a
lasting
impact
on
how
your
life
unfolds,
luck
or
happenstance
might
be
the
only
reason
separating
the
abused
from
the
abuser
-
or
maybe
consciously
or
subconsciously
at
some
point
in
time,
we
chose
a
path of light vs dark.
The
proclivity
for
evil
is
inherent
within
us
all,
however,
but
there
is
also
a
proclivity
for
great
good
-
and
that’s
just
the
duplicity
of
the
human
condition.
Despite
all,
even
evil
people
have
the
capacity
for
some
good,
insofar
as
good
people
also
have
the
capacity
for
great
evil,
as
those
who
have
never
been
tested,
never
truly
know
themselves!
But
looking
for
light
in
those
dark
empaths
displaying
dark
triad traits, you’re kinda scraping the bottom of a barrel, as any hope of light is long since quenched.
Empaths
who
possess
high
levels
of
both
cognitive
intelligence
and
emotional
intelligence,
are
known
as
light
empaths,
they
are
aligned
with
and
towards
the
greater
good.
They
are
highly
attuned
individuals,
they’ll
listen
not
only
to
your
words
but
also
to
your
tone, your facial gestures and micro expressions, while at the same time, even tuning into the energy fluctuations behind those words.
The
universe
is
comprised
of
many
unseen
forces,
where
the
opposite
effect
is
required
to
counteract
the
effects
of
another.
Just
as
hot
needs
cold,
and
light
needs
dark,
perhaps
in
a
way,
good
needs
evil?
But
the
closer
to
the
light
the
darker
the
shadows,
the
stronger
the
opposing
force.
Certainly
it’s
a
force
that
will
attempt
to
drag
you
down.
But
we
all
inhabit
this
world
together,
while
struggling
to
maintain a certain level of equilibrium, but work in different ways to restore some level of balance.
They
do
say
o
pposites
attract!
Sometimes
two
differing
worlds
can
collide,
as
two
opposing
ends
of
a
magnet
are
drawn
together
by
an
unseen
force.
But
if
perfectly
matched,
we’d
also
be
perfectly
mirrored,
and
we
can
gaze
deep
into
their
vacant
eyes,
safe
in
the
knowledge
that
they
will
never
see
us,
like
we
can
see
them.
We
all
battle
unseen
forces,
both
within
and
externally
and
maybe
these
forces
extend
all
the
way
into
metaphysical
realms,
and
we
have
a
small
part
to
play
in
a
much
bigger
picture
-
a
cosmic
game
of
cat
and mouse in an old black and while movie, scripted aeons ago.
Perhaps
there
is
a
war
going
on
somewhere
that
we
are
part
of?
One
that’s
been
ragging
on
since
the
beginning
of
time,
a
battle
of
good
versus
evil
and
light
verses
dark.
A
battle
for
our
hearts,
our
thoughts
and
our
minds,
where
by
our
own
thoughts
and
actions,
can
create
both
a
hell
on
earth
for
both
ourselves
as
well
as
for
others.
And
by
the
same
token,
aligned
towards
the
light,
we
can
create
both
a
pleasant
place
for
both
ourselves
and
for
others.
And
just
maybe
at
a
stretch,
you
could
call
that
place
a
kinda
heaven
.
.
.
and
just
maybe,
that
place
could
really
exist?
Not
only
within
the
metaphysical
realms,
but
imbued
deep
within
our
consciousness
and
deep within ourselves.
