When I was at uni, my favorite pastime was guessing whether someone could be a sociopath.
Like a snake, but a person.
Realistically, though, Im not a psychologist, and neither are you (unless you are).
Whether that makes them a dark empath isnt necessarily knowable, even when it feels like it fits.

Someone making you feel like shit?
Its probably best to not spend time with them.
Someone making you cry more than theyre making you laugh?
Maybe formulate an exit strategy.
Notice that maybe you, yourself might have some manipulative traits?
It could be worth exploring in therapy.
Idostill think sociopaths have snake eyes, though.
