You're simply describing Darkworker Syndrome, which would indeed generate the problem you describe.
However, that is not the path that a highly conscious darkworker would take. Understand that an intelligent and aware darkworker would recognize that being alone and isolated is a foolish choice that only leads to suffering, so such a person would plan to avoid that type of outcome. Such a darkworker would recognize that his/her own good will not be served by social isolation and committing blatant acts of evil that will eventually backfire and produce a negative emotional state.
An intelligent and aware darkworker doesn't chose loneliness and isolation. That would be... well... dumb. But someone experiencing darkworker syndrome might pass through this temporary stage as s/he learns that to maximize one's power, one must help others get what they want as well.
