Dark Empaths & Dating Deception + Lively vs. Baldoni Scandal

In this episode, we dive into the complex and chilling world of dating a dark empath. These individuals possess high emotional intelligence and empathy but use their deep understanding of human emotions to manipulate, control, and deceive. Unlike narcissists or psychopaths who lack empathy, dark empaths are keenly aware of others' feelings and motivations, making them masters of subtle manipulation. They can charm, guilt-trip, and influence others while maintaining a façade of kindness and compassion, making them some of the most dangerous personality types to encounter. (Looking at you, Amy Dunne.)We also discuss Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's awkward appearance on the SNL50 anniversary episode. Reynolds made an ill-times joke regarding his wife's current sexual harassment case. Lively filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Jason Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and defamation. She alleges that Baldoni's on-set behavior made her and other women uncomfortable, citing inappropriate comments and actions. Baldoni came out swinging, counter-suing Lively and Reynolds for 400 million dollars and creating an entire website where he posted every communication between himself and Lively to support his claims that she was lying.SUBMIT YOUR DATING QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠Submit your dating questions here⁠⁠⁠⁠LISTEN TO BONUS EPISODES Join our community as a paid subscriber to receive access to regular bonus content.
