Hamsters are wonderful pets and the thought of anyone hurting or killing them is beyond my comprehension.
I have never had a hamster, but yes, just horrible. Cats seem common targets for these psychos, and I suspect that cats particularly are really good at clocking people. I never trust a person that a cat has issue with.
I get sick to my stomach every time i hear a story involving a hamster being used as a toy. They're pets, friends and buddies, not some fucking stress ball.
It’s the fact that they have essentially NO REAL WAY to defend themselves against a human that lets the psychopaths target them I assume
@@kaiknight9761yes. That makes it even more sad. Same with bunnies. Man. And cats. I love cats. This makes me feel so beyond sick and angry
@@kaiknight9761 I just wanted to say the fact that something is defenseless is often the primary point to "people" like that.
I'm a 54yo woman. I have met some crazy-creepy people in my life. If I could give young people anything worth knowing, it would be this. If it looks, feels, or seems like it's wrong, it probably is. Trust that gut feeling. Better safe than sorry. People who enjoy seeing another person or an animal in pain are NOT safe to be around. People who only want to be around you when they want something from you (money, shopping, sexual favors) are NOT your friends. People who verbally, physically, and/or mentally abuse you are NOT good for you and they don't love you - they love the power that it takes from you and only makes THEM feel 'better'. Beware of people who drink and/or do drugs. People who are not sober do stupid things sometimes. Best to keep your distance. And just keep yourself safe in all circumstances: know ahead of time exactly what you are doing and why. This world needs you to be here.

Totally, if your gut feeling tells you to leave, leave!! You never owe another person an explanation, you never need to stay "polite, just go.
@@Alltagundso Agreed! Peer pressure and people-pleasing doesn't do anyone any good. Ask your gut "Do I want to participate in this?" When the answer is NO, find the door and leave.
I agree there are some really messed up people, I don't think it's fair to say people with addictions are bad people, messed up yes, but there's a difference from being a psychopath and a substance abuser. Those types are expert at abusing themselves and some may be bad people, but it's not the same at all. Bad people are devoid of human feelings that most of us have such as guilt or remorse, and get pleasure from pain and suffering, it doesn't mean that people with substance abuse problems are the same. Thy may be worth avoiding, but given the context of this video, I thought it worth pointing out.
I think it was when I was little and my father would take me driving. He liked to do dangerous maneuvers and run red lights. The entire time he'd be gleefully screaming at me that we were gonna die. I believed him every time until I got older. I would just shut down and not react. He'd then usually end the drive by parking in the woods, walking me into the middle, and then telling me "I'm leaving you here and not coming back" again I believed him but never really reacted. He'd eventually come back at night. Honestly there's a lot more but we'd be here all day 😅
Please tell me you're no longer in contact with him. (HUG)
Your dad’s idea of ‘fun’ is the reason soap dispensers have a “NOT FOR INTERNAL USE.” Warning in bold letters.
Jeez that sounds terrifying, especially for a young child to go through. I hope you're away from him now.
I have no words.
Are you okay? Do you talk to a professional about this?
I dated one for 2 years. When it started to go sour, my goldfish brain finally started to connect the dots. This person had literally 2-3 thousand dollars worth of books that were all about teaching empathy. They were into yoga and spiritualism, and I just thought she taught some of it in her classes. Then, I started taking her classes. Realized she didn't even mention any of this stuff, let alone teach it. She was just teaching herself how to fake having empathy. Which is super scary because that means that she is aware that she lacks it and is masking. I ran real fast when I saw the big picture.
She could also have been trying to teach herself empathy. Especially if she was into yoga and spiritualism, sounds like she was desperately chasing something she knew she didn't have.
@weareallbornmad410 She was doing it as a facade. When the door closed, she was an awful hypocrite who didn't even believe. To quote her own words when I asked her what is the point of it all if she didn't live it? She said, " for some people, it enables them to keep being terrible". I ran. Fast.
@@wyeteepaleface9199idk man maybe she was really desperately trying. Because of the obvious stigma of how having empathy. But you may be right, could be a ploy. Who knows.
I dont see what’s wrong with that? As someone with low empathy, i’d like to learn it to be a better person
@@user-vq5cw4ve3n You guys don't understand. OP wasn't saying she was teaching herself how to at least try to have empathy, she was only using it as a mask and she didn't practice any of that when they were behind closed doors. She's the type of person that family and friends would go "They couldn't have been a bad person, they were so nice and charming to me".
I see nothing wrong with anyone who has sociopathy or psychopathy who are aware of it and really are trying to learn how to have empathy or at least try to look like they do, because that isn't their fault they were made that way. I sympathize with all of them because I can imagine it being a real struggle. But trying to change and just pretending to try and change are two different things. By saying she was making and acting, OP is telling us she didn't really want to change, she only wanted to look good to other people outside of their relationship.
Jesus. That Barbie and Ken under-the-bed retrieval sounds like a low-level Jigsaw trap.
Like it would be the first “test” in those movies
The lack of hamster respect is wild. Why are so many people disrespecting poor hamsters?
Reminds of an anime/show cartoon called "ERASED" Episode 11.
The teacher when he's little, he brought back home from school to "take care" and decided to put all the hamster in a jar with full of water.
Better just watch the rest.
Probably because they're tiny, cute fluff balls......
You should see what people do to monkeys
They don’t see them as living beings, they also don’t see them as important, it’s on the same premise of these disorders making people not think of others as human, just flesh sacs they can use for their morbid curiosity AND desires.
Everyone has morbid curiosity, but not everyone has morbid desires.
While psychopaths aren’t by nature bad people, what makes them incredibly dangerous is the fact that they can be bad people with no regrets.
You can absolutely be friends with a psychopath… but it’s probably best to not get *too* close to them. Just to be safe.
The same goes for people with a Machiavellian personality, or tendencies. I’d argue they’re even worse than psychopaths.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, but if you start reading and don’t like it, then put that book back.
Saddistic psychopaths are the worst. Machiavellians are just competitive assholes
Knowing someone is a psychopath means that you are warned.
I feel bad for psychopaths:( at least they probably don't feel bad about being a psychopath or different than others at all
@@spiritsofwolves they feel superior and everyone else is dumb because they don’t have the balls to do unethical things and sacrifice their honor (according to one)
Just a small fun fact, people who work in things like doing surgeries or other jobs that are dealing with operating on an open living human or cadaver have socio and psychopathic tendencies more often than not, at least according to a study I can across some time ago if memory serves me right.
A lot of psychopaths can go completely unnoticed in society, and most of the time it's just the bad eggs floating to the top. Psychopaths may lack empathy, but in turn most of the time it is swapped for rationality. Morally, they might not care about someone, but rationally many (not all) will not go out of their way to do something unethical just for the heck of it because it wouldn't benefit them in the long run. Morally, they don't need an emotional friendship, but rationally they could use one as an alliance, spending time with each other so that they aren't bored or helping and getting helped in return. I absolutely agree with this comment still, you don't have to continue reading that book because you figure you already invested time and effort into reading that far. Worst case scenario, the ending might not be so pleasant. All I'm just trying to say with this comment is to lessen fear around psychopaths, but stay on your toes.
I've known too many psychopaths and sociopaths to list.
Some are family. Some were "friends," or acquaintances. One of them used to trespass in our yard to catch fish to TORTURE THEM TO DEATH.
... He'd crush them under his tennis shoe, gouge out their eyes with his thumbs. I told him to leave, that this wasn't his yard. Later, our cat vanished for several days, and crawled home half dead.
Neighborhood dogs turned up with spinal injuries, from somebody SWINGING THEM AROUND BY THEIR TAILS.
Later, he and two friends chased me several blocks late at night, ran my bike off the road, and gang stomped me, leaving me with brain damage.
How can I delete this information from my mind
Ew, that guy needs to get his eyes gouged and get his own medicine
Was the cat okay? Were you ok?
@@TrueChaosLord Bertha died within a few hours. She'd been drowned. Her fur was damp. I don't like thinking about what she went thru.
I had post-concussion syndrome, which really messed me up for a long time, because they didn't know much about it then.
Still don't.
The brain is a Black Box, and TBI is just as big a mystery.
@@LordMondegrene so answers are probably no for both
OMG, the stories about the cats and hamsters and other animals being tortured and murdered are so horrible. I can't begin to comprehend how someone could do that.
Myself.. I ended up in jail 12 years ago for armed robbery. It dawned on me that I had no regrets and the only thing I was feeling bad for was myself being caught. I didn't and still dosen't care about the victims, then I would force myself to tears during the trial in the countroom and afterwards smile and laugh like nothing ever happened. So I realized that I am severely lacking in terms of emotions, empathy and sympathy for anyone that I don't personally care for. I also swore that, if not for anyone else i'll at least do the right things if possible for my own sake, and stay clear of anything that could make my life harder. I try to do the right things based of what I know to right, not what I feel is right. Cause I don't feel that whatever I do is either right or wrong, but I know it to be so based on common knowledge and logic. But I do find myself slipping from time to time.
but how does your sense of no right or wrong manifest to those you care for? because if a different set appllies to them this could be trauma expression of another sort entirely. either way good job on taking responsibility where you must.
@@moocowtoyou I don't know, I feel angry I think. Like i'll get violent tendencies, I don't follow up on them, but I get an urge to hurt those that wrongs me and people close to me. That's how I know I care about someone.
@@andreasul2608 do you feel affection for them?it is odd to emotionally separate from the armed robbery when the same done to your own would make you wish to defend aggressively. with true and deep psychopathy your "cared fors" wouldn't necessary elicit a defense state
were you faking tears in court or was it a strange vacillation from overwhelmed to joking and into uncaring? did you know your victim at all and consider them possibly deserving even if just cause they were stupid vs bad?
how old were you and have you ever had head trauma? how unsafe was your childhood?
@@moocowtoyou i'm not sure dude.. I just don't feel much but I do listen to what I do feel when I actually do feel something for someone else. I've had a shitty childhood, I can fake tears yes. I know about the different manipulation technics and I have utilized them. But as I wrote I try to abstain from them, cause that always ends badly in the end. For me that is.
So uh...
Have you ever felt like it wasn't right when you lost someone else's belongings? Or accidentally hurt someone else? Do you feel something isn't right when you are aggressive towards people that are strangers? What about your family, or people you see everyday?
Just wondering. Do you feel achy or that something is wrong when you do things, like stealing or losing someone else's things?
My friend’s boyfriend.
Before directly talking to him he was weird… he’s a compulsive liar. He genuinely tried to convince my friend that he was going to die of Crohn’s disease and that there was no treatment and that he was dying as he spoke. Of course, my friend FREAKED out crying to me and I had to comfort him and reassure him that his BF just was “Misinformed”. His boyfriend tried claiming he had a diagnosis but when he elaborated he did not, he just looked up the symptoms online.
I tried making friends with him but… right off the bat there was something extremely wrong. He kept sending me videos of animals being tortured and laughing at them… every single reaction video he sent to me was some form of animal abuse and it made me so severely uncomfortable, that I just snapped and told him to not talk to me again.
Of course, he cried about it to my friend who got pissed off at me and told me that I should have told him I was uncomfortable from the start (How do you expect me to be calm and collected when he sends me animal abuse??? That’s not something that’s even just an opinion of a joke, it’s legitimately disgusting morally). He forced me to apologize to him.
Eventually time passed and things were… decent I thought. We didn’t talk really, I was still extremely uncomfortable, but I didn’t exactly see any signs of him being a danger, even though I felt like something was deeply wrong.
Then my friend told me he SA’ed him, I desperately tried to tell him to get away from him but he refused to listen, and accepted his shitty apology.
His boyfriend faked a suicide attempt later on, claiming he was bleeding out and that he passed out. Yet, it took only 10 minutes for his “Deep Cut” to stop bleeding. I’ve had cat scratches that bleed for longer! Of course he had to do all this shit on call with my friend, and made him feel helpless.
Only recently did my friend ask me something about assault and I realized, that a very good portion of any of their sexual interactions were simply coerced assault. Excuse after excuse to convince my friend that he needed to do it. That his testosterone made him uncontrollable. It was so so fucked up.
And my friend still hasn’t left him, and it fucks me up inside.
call the police?
I do like the psychopath stories. Got the true crimes vibes. Tho the hamster story made me so sad. And I’m only like 5 mins in.
and the 15 second microwave made me say I didn't sign up for this ish
That made me viscerally ill.
There are at least 3 horrible hamster stories. It's really disgusting.
I knew a guy into crush content. He gauged me to see if I was into it. I think he killed my cat. He made his own ending about a year later
Story 24: This guy sounds exactly like my old friend from high school. She pretended to like people because having friends is "normal". She definitely was sadistic, but, only in fiction because: "I'm not stupid enough to do that for real. I want to find a place where I can live alone away from everyone else when I'm an adult. If I get arrested I'll having to live with hundreds of people for the rest of my life." She was completely emotionless in general, but, sometimes felt very waterdown versions of joy or annoyance, those two were all her emotions. She loved to talk about monsrers she invented to k*** people in creative ways. I was the only person she "liked", but, "liked" is a strong word. I guess it was more "intrigued", because, I didn't react negatively to anything about her psychopathy. She's not hurting anyone and wasn't planning to, so, who cares? She just wanted to write horror and be left alone. I'm autistic, so, it didn't occur to me to care if no one was getting hurt. 🤷🏻
i'm like that. i have a friend like that. i have a lot of disturbing fantasies that i'd never act out because the law, and it's way too much of a hassle. i don't think we're that bad either because we have no intention of hurting anyone
I see your autism also gave you a delayed realization that intense hate for someone can have nothing to do with whether that someone is a negative/harmful influence.
This is basically when you're adopted and become their 'pet'. I became a psychopath's 'pet'. I've also been a narcissist's 'pet'. Because I am autistic and suffer from PTSD, I tend to dissociate or just don't react the way other people react. Sometimes, I'll just ask questions instead of judging someone because when something is dangerous or unsafe or out of the norm, my brain just accepts it and rolls with it because it's a way to make sure I don't die. Or I outright don't REALIZE the danger that I could be in by hearing someone confess these things. It's like a light version of "freeze"/"fawn" combined, I suppose.
you can get a bad vibe with a lot less than a walk up a drive way. I was 11 and this boy at school was 12. I knew immediately he was bad news. Hair stood up on the back of my neck. We didnt say more than 2 words to each other throughout middle and high school. at 22 he was arrested for kidnapping and raping an 11 year-old girl. The only person I know that was surprised, was surprised his older brother didn't do it first
Hell truly is other people.
When i realized my mother trafficked me at 2, tried to kill me at 6 weeks, resulted in my father's death when i was 10 weeks, murdered my pets and made me think it was because i "was psychic" and had dreams of them dieing not because she was killing them in the way i would cry to her about my nightmares...
I have a million things i can't say what was first. I realized at 41 my mother was not my best friend and was actually a manipulative monster.
I think the exact medical term is ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder). It is known colloquially as psycopathy or sociopathy BUT there are many differences but one key difference from what I've been able to tell.
For the most part, psycopaths are born and sociopaths are made. It's likely that it's usually a bit of both nature and nurture in most cases.
Other differences include:
-Sociopaths are more impulsive and unstable, also more likely to be involved in criminal behaviour (although psycopaths are famously highly represented in the serial killer population). Psychopaths tend to be more calculating and less impulsive
-While psycopaths feel NO empathy, sociopaths usually have some capacity for empathy (it is just significantly reduced)
Thanks for the horizontal mode :)
its literally just something for the background. if you care that much, then you're paying too much attention.
@@thauraneI prefer it like that
It's just a preference. there's no need to start a fight out of it
@@thauraneI’ve seen this exact comment like 5 times almost like it’s copy and pasted I mean it’s true asf it’s just funny that yall say it the same word for word love this channel tho favourite thing to listen to on yt
@@thaurane 46:30 h
#24 Is a good reminder that psycopaths aren't automatically bad people, they're just wired differently.
Get one for your daughter
The first time I heard about crush videos, I got physically sick. It would take a psychopath to make them and a psychopath to watch them. That much hate for defenseless creatures - or even worse, no emotions at all - is beyond my imagination.
OPPO 9i NV
So many stories about kids being psycho, this is why mental health professionals need to take signs seriously no matter what age the patient is.
For real tho, my Mother has been diagnosed with ASPD. She's emotionally stable, doesn't take dumb risks, loves animals and takes no joy in killing them. She has a very small circle of people she cares about. Anyone outside that circle,... well, she just doesn't care if they live or die. Sociopathy is weird but not as bad as Psychopathy.
Seriously, your channel is way underrated. I love watching these😭
I would also comment this, but I would be labeled as a copycat.
I feel like these stories go from “barely escaping a deathly relationship” to “they looked at me with anger so I got scared” to “that shit was wild but whatever” 😂
I dated a army guy who had nothingness in his eyes.. it actually spooked me out.. he would rarely talk about his childhood and that was kind of scary as well.. and when he did he would tell me stories half way and leave me questioning so much.. and would disappear many times throughout the week.. idk.. i just had to block him
I know that the overwhelming majority of people don't join the military to have a legal outlet for killing people, but they do exist. I've met one before as well. They're paranoid and frightening and other veterans absolutely hate the fact that those serial killers were allowed to stay in for so long
The thousand yard stare?
That sounds more like trauma than psychopathy. Sad stuff either way
@@F.udemin The guy seems like a typical case of someone who survived child abuse. But maybe I'm projecting. Anyway, I was a lot like that when I was younger I even joined th Army (which is also fairly common for people with less than ideal childhoods)
I even suspected I had some form of Anti-Social Personality Disorder. I've not, if anything I'm more empathic than average, but the two can look very similar
I had a friend who would say the oddest things. One day, she took my two pencils from me while I was drawing, and I held my hand out and laughingly asked for them back.
She stabbed me in the hand with them as hard as possible. I bled like crazy. She laughed.
A while later I had a class with her. Her brother was murdered by someone else, and she told me she was glad he was dead because she got to have all his stuff.
How The FU#& can you say something like that casually!?
i love what you say about keeping things "hush hush". It's absolutely true it only protects the abuser while hurting the victim and making it likely that there'll be more victims. i've had this attitude from my family break me in life
I have seen the video of Stephen McDaniel being interviewed as the reporter said, "A body has been found."
I was a year ahead of a guy in grade school. He gave everyone the creeps. Long story short, after a few incidents, he is in prison for a long time now.
I have no idea if my brother is a psychopath or a sociopath, but the way he used to laugh when he would hit me, or twist my skin between his hands, or bend my fingers back as if he was trying to break them, or sit on me to suffocate me, or any other physical abuse he'd put me through, was frightening.
story 20. that is genuinely my biggest fear when heading into an assembly, i live in america. op saved so many lives and i dont think they understand that. school shootings are a serious problem here in america, and every time i hear a loud sound at school, i freeze because thats just the reality. op saved so many lives that day.
" looking kinda autistic" ummmm no I don't think this person is educated in what autism really is. There is not an autism look. Anyone can have autism with all sorts of looks. Stereotypes and segregation based on looks is for movies bro.
I’ve noticed people are leaning heavily on “autism” as the replacement slur for r3tard. It’s gross
There is a look for moderate to severe autism. If you’re on the low end however, sure no one would know unless you told them.
I knew a really off guy with ASPD he wasn't like, "evil" or anything like that. Bro just didn't have a little something in him. Something to make him seem human, if that makes sense. But he had the manipulative tendencies and things like that. He would get what he wanted and you would give it to him willingly but he didn't have that mean streak so many of these people have faced. He was like the friendliest, most decent guy i knew who'd do shit just cause he thought that it might make someone happy, not because it made him feel good or he would get anything from it but just because he could.
3:50 This sounds like a seizure, not a serial killer. Also, I understand if the physics professor didn't know the word "Algorithm": 1, because referring to addition and subtraction as "algorithms" is odd; and 2, physics doesn't necessarily use algorithms that much. It is more Math and Computer Science types that will use or study algorithms regularly.
Edit: after some quick internet searches the "US Standard Algorithms" are something specifically for child development. Since a professor at a university doesn't normally need education training, it makes sense that the High School teacher (who likely has education as part of her degree) knew the term when the professor did not.
Yeah, I was thinking absence seizure.
@@Salicat99 Exactly, and if it was, the wife seemed calm and expecting it. She handled an absence seizure fairly well, given that he was prone to them.
The seizure itself could explain why he didn't understand the word "algorithm." Something doesn't sit right with me about that story, and yet, every sign points to seizure. Idk.
Story 19 reminds me of a guy I came across. Friend of a friend. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know enough to be able to understand or articulate all the ways it was wrong. Years later I learned about Borderline Personality Disorder, and how they can latch onto someone and form serious and unhealthy attachments.
At first, I wrote off everyone with BPD. It's bad! I've seen it! Then I realized it was like any other mental health issue. Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, even narcissism. They're treatable. Not all with drugs -- drugs help, but treatment for everything requires knowledge, new tools, and learning countermeasures.
Remember: Your mental health is only good until it's not. Then you join the club. So don't write them off, because you may be writing your future self off.
Not a psychopath ( from what I'm aware of), but this is my story.
So I was dating a guy in England and I'm in the US. He was originally nice and kind but after almost a year into dating him something made him snap into the real person he is. I ended up getting verbally abused and used for my money and body. I didn't realize until much later because of how in love I was. But we broke up and i thought i was free until the guy ended up finding where i lived and made multiple diffrent accounts to asking me to give him a 2nd chance. I was stupid and went back with him but after a week I was told that he gave me a "second chance" just to make a joke out of me. I was broken and was already in a bad mindset and I ended up in the mental hospital for about a week. After I got out I had stopped using my social media for 2 ish years. Then I get a text and it was him and he found my mother's number and started harassing my mother and me. After he had calmed down(a month later) he asked me to be with him again and I said no but he had threatened to off my family and me. After that the police had enough evidence to put him away and put a restraining order on him. It's been 2 years now and I'm finally feeling safe once more.
Edit: he also would pretend to have D.I.D which terrified me every time because he would use it as a cover up for abusing me. Also he did come from England to the US. (Tho he said he lived in Ireland. But I don't know because he would lie about anything and everything he could lie about.)
That is 100% what he is. Those lacking empathy can sometimes act "proper." The fact you said "after he had calmed down" rather than "after he backed off" or something similar means to me that that guy is severely dangerous. Because, he didn't calm down. He was playing that mind game for a whole month. I hate to tell you, since you're just starting to feel safe, but don't rely on a piece of paper to protect yourself. I would suggest self defense carrying if you're not advanced in martial arts. That's something the U.S. allows for precisely this reason.
There is almost zero percent chance someone from the U.K. would come to cause trouble in the U.S. But I don't feel right not saying anything.
@@Mavendow he also would pretend to have D.I.D which terrified me every time because he would use it as a cover up for abusing me.
I met my ex in the local library DnD club. He was 28 at this time and I was 16. We eventually became sort of friends, he invited me to drink and watch movies, later when I had a suicide attempt he helped me calm down and then tried to have sex with me. As an autistic teen with no social life I just rolled with it and we kind of had a relationship for the next two years. There was a lot of manipulation, red flags and straight up abuse but I didn't really knew better and stayed. He was obsessed with serial killers, his apartment was dirty and full of trash, his two cats was afraid of him and he bought me a lot of "BDSM gear". Then he somehow met two women, ~30 and 40 years old and we just decided that four of us have a polyamorous relationship now. It went like that for two months, I turned 18 at this point and he often asked me to marry him. Than this women saw what a miserable guy he is and dumped him, then he found a new girlfriend (we are at the same college with her now and she's cool) and dumped me. It was a RELIEF. This guy only had like two emotions - anger and sort of cynical bitter happiness, I never understood him and hope i never will.
Why didn't you leave?
@@fiefievioletshe said she was 16 when she met him. That’s very young. A lot of times they don’t know what’s happening is super messed up.
I am probably not actually a sociopath but I am much more sociopathic than the average person. One of my main interests is ethics and morality due to my noticing, as a small child, 23 years ago, that I *don’t* have any inherent concept of right or wrong, and don’t typically feel much for anybody besides myself. When I do have feelings of any kind, they are so intense it physically hurts, and it’s all very muddled. This has led to me being extremely confused by emotions, very often.
I literally have moral principles developed by having to genuinely think about why something is considered good or bad, and there is so blatantly *no* real single source for morality of any form. Not some god of righteousness and not human empathy. It’s something that we all ultimately have to find for ourselves and most of the people in these stories are considered psychopaths because they clearly have not found moral principles compatible with a functional society.
Why don’t you give that “subjective morality” a little more thought. You’ll get it right one day. You made a lot of absolute truth statements. How can that be?
That's interesting. I am extremely similar. Diagnosed BPD in my early 20s. But the quiet kind. I 100% understand what you are saying about the physical pain from the intensity. But I couldn't put proper words to it until I just read your comment. I would describe it to people as my skeleton felt like it wanted to walk out of skin, like my bones think my skin is on fire and trying to run away from itself.
😅 I don't know if anyone ever understood me when I described it
i get you. meta-ethics
I agreed about the goth/rebel kids usually the nicest. I'm a metalhead and i have few metalhead friends who dressed as a goth and they're the nicest human being i've ever met. too bad some of them turned to the different path.
Hearing these stories got me thinking about an old co-worker of mine from a decade ago. Several years younger than I was, but we casually chatted once in a while on our coffee breaks. I always thought he was a somewhat odd person - but not in a bad way per say. So, one day we were alone in the break room - quiet time of day with no others on breaks at that time. And out of the clear blue, he started talking about his high school days... told me about how about how he'd shoved a kid down the stairs one day, because he;d been mouthing him off. He was utterly emotionless and matter-of-fact as one could be when he explained about how to this day the kid he shoved has never learned to walk again, after his back was broken in the fall.
Now, I do think he was lying... making up this crazy story for goodness knows what reason, without any way to understand that I, like any normal human, was obviously horrified by it. So, a compulsive liar, just as much as utterly deranged. And thinking back to it now I hope I'm right about it having been a lie. This was a pretty small town. People talk in little towns. And thing like this are about never just forgotten all about by anyone from that generation still living nearby. And no one ever once mentioned anything about this in the town's one small-ish high school. But still... horrifying all the same.
THESE HAMPSTER STORIES GOD DAMN
How can this be HAMPENING?
@@fiefieviolet ITS RODENTCULOUS
30:30 - I listen to/watch a lot of true crime content, and have seen this case covered multiple times on different channels I follow. As soon as the OP started talking about him being interviewed on the news while Lauren (his victim's name, assuming I recall correctly) was still considered missing, I recognized it. He was also a law student and the case just played out in a totally mad way (he spoke to the police without a lawyer, for example).
Id hardly call what he did "speaking" to the police lmao
To be honest I'm not sure if he was a bona fide sociopath. I think he really badly tried to fake it to go for not guilty via insanity
Yeah, burning tires and shoes doesn’t mean jack, dude. In rural areas, if you burn in a fire pit and the stuff is yours to burn, it’s no big deal. My dad always enjoyed building a bonfire out back to get rid of branches and the like. Because he wasn’t always the most careful dude, he would sometimes throw in an old lightbulb for his own enjoyment. I don’t recommend that.
Depends on who and where you are honestly. I'm a country girl, use to have a burn barrel, pit too but if you're in the city and just randomly do it it can come off as weird, twisted. I get how throwing a light bulb in can be exciting 😅 definitely not safe if near a home
Tbf that's exactly what they said, calling those actions "general mischief stuff"
For me, when I was first divorcing my ex, it was when he made a comment that he believed we WERE a happy couple "if we didn't have the kids." Something in me went so cold over the way he said it. He is of course an avid hunter with tons of weapons. He remarried a woman with 4 kids, and she's all the submissive doormat he ever wanted. My daughter tells me the wife is miserable, so i know it might not last long, but as long as he has her he has left me alone. I feel bad for her but also feel safer while she's in the picture, it's a shit situation all around.
Marriage should be taken more seriously. Divorce is bad
@@nikolaimcfly6883why is divorce bad?
I always love the sign-off messages you leave at the ends of the videos. They are the highlight of the video, imo. Keep up the great work y'all!
Sociopathic behavior is like when you reach the maximum level narcissistic behavior to the point where you are not just the main character you see life as a video game where your in control
You know nothing about personality disorders huh
@@user-vq5cw4ve3n maybe not the definition but many sociopaths see humans as npcs is a video game where they are the player
Thank you for using the horizontal format. It makes things (like comment skimming or picture in picture) much more enjoyable.
Woah, I’m early, cool.
Just wanna say that I love this dude voicing the videos, but I understand that he needs breaks every now and then. The other guys corny jokes were a miscommunication, but I actually really enjoyed his voiceovers as well.
I had a friend when I was in elementary school, until she kicked me in the stomach one day. I cried so hard from the pain but also because I didn’t understand. While I cried another kid said to me, “She is jealous of you.” She never seemed quite right. She pushed a child off a porch about that same time and he ended up dying. Very tragic. She was old enough to know better. It was a high porch. It happened across the street from the rental house.
After getting married and having 2 kids I rented a home that happened to be near her dad. I was nice to her, thinking of how troubled she was. I was very naive and thought I could help her, she was basically homeless. She had played inside our rental home as a child and regarded it strangely as her own, as if she had claimed it first. She remembered the floorplan. One night at about 10pm I was in the living room alone, drinking tea when someone started violently shaking our side door, trying to get in. It happened a couple more times and someone also tried to break into our car, setting the alarm off. Then we bought a house and got out of there. I know it was her and her boyfriend.
Not sure if this counts, but it may be the closest I've dealt with. Being a Special Ed student, I found it odd that one of the teachers in high school would seem to want me to say "I do" when it was just me with him. A year after graduating, he comes up in the news, having been fired, arrested, and is currently serving an 11 year sentence after a custodian found him with a freshman in a classroom. Had I known what it meant at the time, I'd have went to report him immediately, though I don't think I was the only one he went for. I've since mentioned it to several I'm in contact with, not just with my classmates. He's certainly among those I'm quite content with never seeing again.
Thank you! the portrait video was driving me crazy
I was at a camp once and one of the kids caught a crawfish and over 4 days he put more and more salt in this live crawfish's container until it died. He dried it out till it slowly and painfully and it was joke to him. We also had some gun classes where we learned safety and then got to shoot some wood targets and the entire time he was pointing it farther and farther from the targets. It got so bad my dad told me to get behind a tree because he was scared the kid would shoot into the crowd. He scared me to the core.

i mean... boundaries do limit you, that's the whole point of having them

Story 19 is like my sister. Not a sociopath, but effed up. For some reason she started worshipping me in a way where it felt like I was Justin Bieber (around the same time). But anytime I didn't say the exact right thing (still don't really know what that was supposed to be). She would get mad at me, text in all caps, silent treatment, etc. lots of flip flopping of emotions. I have arm-chair diagnosed her with borderline personality disorder (even though it's a shitty name for it, and you're not supposed to do that, it's just every time.I hear about it I'm like, yep, that's her. And I was the object of her dysfunctional obsession), she'd lie a lot, triangulate with one highschool aquaintance or another over the years to try to get at me. was bullied in school a lot more than I ever was and abused at home. i don't think she ever felt safe her whole life, so she couldn't feel safe with me either as an adult. Not that I was a great sister, but I felt "not in danger" at school and when people left me alone. So I'm an abused, easily triggered, introvert (I'm actually not that shy or agoraphobic I just don't need people the same way as an extrovert, covid lockdown was heaven for me) which is the exact opposite of what someone with BPD needs.
Hi, fellow abused introvert here.
I’m so sorry you went through this.
I also enjoyed the pandemic lockdown, since more people started to understand my anxiety and it gave me an excuse to not be around people.
But, I’m still struggling with being outside and being around people to this day due to lack of trust and not so great health. Most of the time I sit at home while everyone around me lives their lives and I’m just feeling depressed and living in regret. So please don’t completely close yourself off from the rest of the world. There are still some good people out there.
1 Peter 5:7 says, “while you throw all your anxiety on God, because he cares for you.”
One thing to remember is the lack of empathy or impaired empathy can be because of many things. Including head injuries and brain damage.
the cause doesn’t matter - the result is the same
There's definitely a guy in my class who's super weird. At first, he seems like a normal, average guy. But when you've known him for like... 7 years, I'd say there's more to it than that. He's talked about hitting my best friend in the head with a ball at P.E. and then actually proceeding to do it, he's bullied one of his friends, and then apologized to him like it had been nothing. He had talked about beating my best friend to cause blood. He also tries to get reactions out of him by talking shit about his favorite football team, and when cats are brought up he tries to get a reaction out of me. I genuinely hate him lmfao. He's most of the time nice, but sometimes he's a brat. Like, a full on brat.
I feel bad about this. When i was a child, my older sister had a collection of Sakura card captors cards. She never wanted me to touch it (i had a tendancy to accidently break things. I have ADHD). So one day, i went to our bedroom and secretly TEAR APART all her cards but kept one intact. I went to her in the livingroom and tear apart that remaining card in front of her. She said that i had a pure evil grin when i did, like evil eyes. She ran to the bedroom, saw all the cards and cried. I think when she did, i felt bad because i hadnt realised how much it would hurt her.
To this day, i hate being remembered that. I cringe when someone mentions that event and i just feel so bad and i want to kick myself. If there is something i truly wish i could change about my past, its that. She sees me a bit differently ever since, but we still love one another
The fact that you cringe at the thought of what you did, means that you’ve grown as a person. ❤
I am very glad I don't have anyone in my life like this.
Psychopathy is a weird one because they don't choose to be that way. I can't imagine many fates worse than lacking the ability to feel emotions
I'm calling bulls333 on the horse trainer. You don't need to be able to press 350lbs with your legs to stay on a horse. If she retrains horses for dressage, she should know this. Thinking you can "out strength" a horse will put you in the hospital. I've seen a racehorse throw a man into a wall because he made the mistake of holding the halter with both hands and locking his elbows to keep is head down. The horse could feel,when he tossed his head, that this guy was only 150 lbs and tossed him like he was a UPS package. If she was bronc riding (barbaric) I might believe her, but dressage? Please.
Some of these are probably sociopaths instead. They don’t care how hey are perceived. Psychopaths fit in and manipulate
Sociopaths are manipulative and heartless. Psychopaths are the ones that could become murderers and serial killers.
im wouldnt really say theyre a psychopath, but a friend of mine has really low empathy or response to tragic things
i know they would *never* hurt me or an animal (they love animals more than people), but they’ve said some things that has kind of scared me
Nah, when I worked at a pet store we had to make sure they were over 18 and if not, they needed the parent at the store to get the pet, be it hamster, mice to even fish. Those are just shitty store employees
Thanks for listening and bringing back horizontal mode. Appreciate it!
Some of these are likely from children that are hurting, angry and striking out where they can, others, yikes.
So Pam was the one who refused to testify
Wasn't the dad himself but his 7 yr old kid. Her dad had told her to go to bed and she was stalling and I reminded her and she looks me dead in the eye and tells me that she will report me to the police for touching her and her dad could get a better girlfriend, ooookkkkk. Her dad was arrested the next day and they asked if I'd take custody of her until her mother came to get her, nope nope nope I'm not dealing with that demon child

It sucks because my rabbit when I was little might have been saved if it wasn't like that
When I was 4, the boy I was being forced into play dates with eventually held a knife to my throat one day. That, thankfully, ended those awful play dates. He was a year younger than me and when we finally ended up in high school together I said something to him about it and asked if he remembered it. He did not, but laughed and said it sounded right for him. I guess other similar things happened when he was little. Neglectful parents. The mom left me, jr psycho, and his 2 yr old brother ALONE downstairs to play unsupervised. They had tons of toys, plenty I would have really enjoyed playing with even as a girl with all of us together, but the boys picked ninja turtles every dang day for WEEKS. They overruled me because baby brother would do whatever big brother wanted. Now, I was a tomboy, so it wasn't that playing tmnt was a problem, but I was ALWAYS the villain and they got physically rough with me, hitting me with the action figures, etc. Dunno what happened to him, but probably nothing good. His dad was in a band and gone most of the time and both parents were drug and alcohol users. That's why the mom had so many "headaches" and wouldn't be downstairs with her feral sons. She wrote off the knife incident as "just playing" because it was a table knife instead of a butcher knife. He couldn't reach the knife block or things might've been different. Also, it still could've cut me if he started sawing it on me regardless.
Never in my mind, would ever think about hurting an animal for real. I have almost MORE concideration for animal than for human. Animals are neither good or evil. They just are. They do what instinct tells them to do. Man, sometimes i feel like i dont have much remorse, but i'd never hurt someone or an animal for fun because its simply NOT FUN. You have to think : would i like it if that'd happen to me? No? Then why would i do it to others.
Thank you for the goth shout out. Black trench coats and eyeliner doesn't make someone inherently... anything. It's a fashion choice, not a personality type.
My emotionally abusive ex.
If you share your fears of intimacy/fear of being assaulted with a man and he laughs…..fucking run like Usain Bolt as far away from him as you can get.
Trigger Warning: r-pe and other forms of sexual assault
When I was a teenager, I went through a phase where I had graphically violent nightmares of being r-ed by guys I knew. It got to the point where it honestly felt like my subconscious was trying to tell me something and I started feeling uncomfortable around all guys except my best friend.
When I was 18, I met my ex and we become close friends very quickly. Looking back, I can see a lot of psychopath tendencies from the very beginning. But I was so sheltered and inexperienced that he snowed me completely. After a particularly graphic r--e nightmare one night, I called him for comfort and made the mistake of telling him two things he became hyper focused on-that I had had these kinds of dreams for the last 3 yrs, and that I was a virgin with no intention to have sex before marriage.
When I was 22, our friendship shifted to lovers. He knew going in I wasn’t going to have sex with him. He also knew that the only man I felt fully comfortable around was my best friend. This infuriated him.
One day he told me he’d never seen the ocean so we went to the beach around 1am. He basically paralyzed me with fear (apparently my fight or flight reflex doesn’t exist for unwanted sexual attention…I just freeze) and assaulted me in every way but r-e. He took my clothes off, pinned me down and laid over me while he groped, kissed, and manhandled me completely without my consent. I blacked out and woke up in his car with his hand in my pants, then blacked out again. Next time I woke up to see him smiling down at me as he stroked my hair. He told me it was 4am and that he’d apparently “done the job so well, you relaxed enough to fall asleep.”
The drive home was intense. He kept asking me to tell him how each thing he did made me feel and if I told him I didn’t enjoy something he became cold. He dropped me off and left. I immediately showered and called my best friend and tried to tell him what happened but I was so in shock I couldn’t explain.
I didn’t hear from my assaulter for almost 3 months. Then he called and he told me that my lack of enjoyment had really messed with his head. I completely misinterpreted this as him feeling guilty. Yeah, he didn’t. But he made me believe it so damn well. He actually cried when I told him I felt violated and didn’t see how I could ever trust him again. He begged me for another chance and promised he wouldn’t touch me again without consent. He explained that he hadn’t meant to hurt me. He just wanted to show me that such attentions could feel good.
Like the master manipulator he was, he had me feeling guilty for not enjoying being assaulted! And like the inexperienced and vulnerable girl I was, I gave him a second chance.
He was on his best behavior for months. Then he started testing my physical boundaries, then pushing the lines. I remember my lightbulb moment of “I’m in love with a man I don’t want touching me” was when he had his arms wrapped around me from behind, kissing my neck while he carried on a conversation with a male friend in the room. The friend was angry because his girlfriend had denied him sex because she felt sick and was just venting his frustration. My ex, still kissing my neck, just casually replied “Better not talk about your way of persuasion in front of (my name). Rape scares her.” And again, he laughed. Even his friend looked appalled as my ex continued, “Can’t deny though, that it’s just a matter of careful handling to turn a No into Yes.” My skin crawled and I stepped away from him on instinct. His response was to tighten his arms and lock his grip, literally trapping me against him. My heart was pounding and I just shut down again.
It was shortly after this incident that I broke up with my ex. The last thing he said to me? “I should have r-ed you. I hope your next bf does. You deserve it.”
Oh my god... This is so horrible, I have no words. I hope you're doing better now.
@@Diane_666 In all honesty, no I’m not. I haven’t been able to go on a date for almost a decade. I’m second-guessing every man I meet.
"The he called and he told me that my lack of enjoyment had really messed with his head"
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
@@fiefieviolet Not sure if this is a reaction or an actual question… so…
I found out like four years later from his now ex-best friend that when he called me he was apparently trying to have the first sexual encounter he’d had since he assaulted me and he couldn’t perform. He accused me of “overreacting” to his “coercion” and when I told him I felt violated because I had been violated, he turned on the manipulation and the tears.

the stephen mcdaniel case is one of the most infamous, crazy someone knew him beforehand. poor girl, she was a beacon in the community and one of the only people who showed open kindness to him.
Story 8: I'm similar to the description of the 'sociopath' in that story only in that when someone becomes a threat to me or mine they cease being human beings to me. They are a threatening obstacle and I instantly start dissecting their behavior, physicality, movements, using my military and fighting experience to quickly eliminate the threat. Before that point I'll have empathy and try my best to deescalate and exit but as soon as someone crosses the line for whatever reason they're story is ended and I have no regrets.
Story 30: so the guy was an outcast, everyone avoided him and then they are suprised he killed someone because he couldnt get over her rejecting him. Maybe if people in that church were a bit more accepting it would be different. But then again i could be completly wrong and he wouldve killed everyone in that church.
My ex when i was 14 and he was 19, he:
-made me send picture proof that i was on my period
-didnt allow me to wear makeup or make new guy friends
-cheated on me several times and then stabbed himself in the leg when i tried to leave him at first
-r**** me and took secret videos of our intimate moments
-blackedmailed me into not dumpung himby threatening to post said videos
-showed up to mu school after he had graduated and i had left him, to follow me around
Luckily he moved out of thr country
Im sorry, you were 14 and he was 19?!
@@ChrissyBae yes he was a senior and I a freshman. Unfortunately he was so charismatic and popular and I was fresh meat, fooled by his looks and popularity. I forgot to add that he also had our mutual friends spy on me after I dumped him, for idk how long. Like, typing this all out made me realize how fucked it all was.
@@SydtheSquid112 im so sorry all of this happened to you. Im glad you made it out of that situation alive
You can read me human cruelty all day but I need a warning about animal cruelty. I can't & won't handle it. I dip off the video SO QUICK if I hear even a whisper of animal cruelty. No thank you.
The friend literally told me they were a psychopath (I met them on a neurodivergent Discord server)
Why does it seem like getting chased by a friend with a knife is such a widespread childhood experience? Happened to me too but I think she was just a bit of a weirdo, not a psychopath.
Story 30: there's a very complete video on the McDaniel case. Search for "Moments before a killer snaps". It's a long video, because the case itself has way more details, like how he recorded into her room, how he'd sneak into her room, both police interviews, one before he is a suspect (his room was next to his victim's room), and one after he is a suspect. That second interview is crazy, he barely moves at all. Interesting video if you're into true crime.
The Stephen case was nuts I saw the full interrogation and back story video and he was definitely a psychopath and also tried to bluff his way out of getting caught bury him under the jail he wasn’t fooling anyone
if I had a daughter and she ran away from her boyfriend, and her ex told me that my daughter is just "overdramatic" and "Has gone crazy" , I'll just say "If she ran away, she obviously doesn't like you. You shouldn't chase after a person who doesn't even like you."
Or a better answer "Well you're the dumbass who chases after someone who ran away from you!"
I wonder what that fucker would answer to that.
That stephen mcdaniel case scarred me for life long ago. Most insane interrogation I've every seen. Literal psycho.
I knew an (undiagnosed) psychopath/sociopath whom I lost contact with in high school. (They moved schools because their mom no longer wanted them nor treated them like a human when they brought up that they are likely a psychopath/sociopath.) They would tell me and our mutual friends about how they would get into physical fights with their mom and eventually told me once they were moving that they want to get tested for a personality disorder. I was rooting for them to get help and hadn't fully realized that the person I knew them to be was more of an act. They mentioned always wanting to know how real, true love felt and being envious of my relationship with my partner. They had been dating someone who they broke up with because they didn't want to hurt the person because what they felt for or because of that person was the closest they ever felt to love. (Based on others' descriptions of love)
Theu told me that since they could always remember me being nice to them, they felt I deserved to know the truth. I can't remember what I said to them back then, but we slowly lost contact after a bit. Wherever they are now, I hope they're getting help and doing well.
For the "algorithm" guy, NEVER apologize for someone else's ignorance. Its not your fault they dont understand. All you'd really have to do is explain, as long as you dont condescend, you do not have to apologize for anything.
Some stories were pretty wild, but some were just like I did not like the way he looked at me
It bears repeating that psychopathy is not that rare and only a very few are violent. While numbers vary between studies, it is estimated that 1% of the population are true psychopaths. A further 30% of the population are on a psychopathy scale demonstrating some traits. Of the 1% of true psychopaths, 1% will display violent tendencies during their lifetime. That is 0.01% of the population who are violent psychopaths. To assume that all psychopaths are violent is to assume that all who are on the autism spectrum are non-communicative.
I don't believe that is true. There are many mid level psychopaths and very high level ones are probably rare. But given their putting their wishes and needs first, sense of superiority over the rest of us emotional people (if they speak honestly), and sensitivity to even the slightest insult; I'd expect some level of violence is a way of life. Many are also very competitive and need to be dominant, so that implies some fight. More likely is many are good at not getting caught or held to account; and then the rest of us don't find out.
People scoring even 22 or 23 on the Hare test act in much the same ways as those classed psychopaths (25 in UK, 30 in US). They're just good at hiding it from most.
Any chance you can upload these on podcast platforms? That’d be amazing, thanks!!!
Oh man, i knew more or less after but long, complicated story short: a girl pretended to be someone else to get information out of me, which then she used to make another fake account to harass my ex while pretending to be me fir a few years. Police were involved but ultimately didn't do anything as it was across three different cities/towns. When i was told about it, i pretty much lost it on said ex. The girl to this day will still make fake profiles trying to befriend both of us but at this point, everyone knows better. Pretty sure she is a psychopath 😬
why would you lose it on the ex? what did he do??
I worked at a restaurant as a server and my lead invited me and some other coworkers to his home for a few beers. Well after a few beers me and my lead went to the balcony for a smoke. Out of nowhere he asked me have I ever thought of murdering someone. I laughed and said no I haven’t. He looked me in my eyes and said what about a homeless person. He said no one would miss them and that they are easy targets. I quit my job the next day and never told anyone. That’s when I realized you never know what a persons true intentions are.
I had a "friend" for three years. I was kinda desperate for friendship at the time so I overlooked a lot...like the fact that when we would RP together she had this persistent habit of needing to make new characters that were always just "better" versions of my characters. Like if my character was supposed to be a mad scientist, SHE would make a MADDER more GENIUS scientist, etc. Eventually I guess she gets tired of me...just abruptly ghosts me and spreads some kind of rumor about me to all our mutual friends, they ALL turn on me and start stalking/harassing me for over a year, but all refuse to even tell me what I was accused of. Just lots of "how dare you" and "you KNOW what you did". Only ever got an apology from ONE of them when she did the same thing to them, but she still couldn't tell me what I'd supposedly done. Years later out of curiosity I look this girl up...she's got on her public profile the story of what SHE did to ME, but pretending it was done to her, down to details of the heartbreak that *I* had attempted to express to her. Absolute psycho-b*tch. She was the first and only person I have ever genuinely hated. I feel a lil bad that I kinda wish I would hear her life was horrible or she died a horrific death or something, she just mercilessly stabbed me in the back for absolutely no reason whatsoever when I'd only ever been kind to her.

25:59 “looking autistic”
as someone autistic, a lot of people struggle showing emotions, for example:
in choir i’m enjoying myself with the most ._. face ever and my friends are like “are you ok?” and i’m like “yeah why?” 💀💀
getting the "i have chaaaannngged i missssss youuuuu" text from your ex toxic relationship person (any kind of relationship) is reads like "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN" to me
The one with Stephen McDaniel I literally just watched a video about that case and how he interacted during interrogations. He was her next door neighbor and they had both just graduated to become lawyers only had to do their bar exam.
I think I've known two. For my stepmother, during her and my father's separation, her children were reminiscing fondly about things they'd done to bully me in the two years I lived w them for when I was little. Then her youngest said "remember when mum poisoned her?"
The second was when a guy that had slandered me to the point I was attacked in a way that aimed to disfigure me, sought me out to walk passed and gloat about everything he had done to me, all the while gaslighting me to think it wasn't intentional.
25:20 she sounds like the psychopath
! HAMSTER RELATED STORY !
I don’t know if it’s like this in every state but But when I bought my first hamster (I was a minor) as a 5th grade graduation present from my parents The employees made me fill out a legal waiver to own the hamster, of course I never read the waiver ( I was 10, what ten year old honestly would read it) I rember the employee saying something along the lines of “you have to sign this to ensure that you don’t throw the hamster at the ceiling fan I’ve done it it’s not fun” I can’t make this shit up, to this day I generally wonder how this man was allowed to handle animals.
I had a friend and for some reason, everyone had this weird, WEIRD feeling about her, like she sounded sweet etc, was so good with her words and was so "kind" etc, but when she was in 9th grade, she had an argument with this boy and threatened to stab him, after a few weeks he didn't turn up to school and they found out that she led him into the woods and got him to lay down and close his eyes and she started stabbing him, she was arrested two days later and had gotten 16 years in Jail.
