What do you mean they’re not part of our culture? They’re all over the culture’s leadership.
Litigators, salesmen, CEOs, etc
With too much empathy and understanding I HAVE ZERO EMPATHY FOR EVIL PEOPLE MY EMPATHY IS FOR HUMAN AND ANIMAL VICTIMS
@@AKE-rw2lyCognitive empathy is good, but overactive emotional empathy is bad.
She's NOT a sociopath. She figured out she's a psychopath.
The two words you used are interchangeable depending on which psychologist you ask. Even the psychology community debates that.
She said in her book that she isn’t actually a psychopath because she wasn’t born that way, but her trauma with her family clearly played a role in her abandonment and abuse coping. She stated that she refers to herself as psycho instead of socio because it’s just easier and less nuanced to explain
@@HH-kg4fq the terms are unofficial but they are generally understood as marking different extremes of the ASPD spectrum. sociopaths are more impulsive, erratic, and aggressive than the carefully thought-out, "high functioning" psychopath
A better way to understand this is to know that sociopath is not a clinical term . There is primary and secondary psychopathy. Primary is associated with being a “psychopath” thought to be inherited & genetically based while secondary psychopathy is generally associated with anti social personality disorder- a psychopath- appears emotionally stable- a sociopath appears emotionally unstable.
I was married to a Sociopath for 28 years. It is interesting to hear from a Sociopath and how she respond to these discussions.
How do you KNOW for sure they don't have Aspergers?
Interesting. I knew who your guest was almost immediately. Always fun to hear her opinions and take on things.
Who is it????
I thought psychopaths had limited emotions or non but I thought sociopaths could at time have less control. 🤔
I dont think its such a black and white thing. Every individual is different
Her pseudonym is Emmy Thomas, she wrote a book called “Confessions from a Sociopath”
Anti social personality disorder signs seem more like a CHARACTER flaw, not a personality issue.
It depends on how you view trauma
One thing I would like to clarify about being rational. I know a lot of people that buy a car through how it looks, what image it will project of them and maybe what color it is. Then, they end up with an unreliable POS car that costs them an arm and a leg in maintenance. Similar with grandiose weddings, unnecessary loans, buying expensive fashion items, etc. I would say that emotion here is actually a negative thing and a sociopath might have an advantage. Also in business environment, stock markets and possibly software development.
Enjoyed 1st half of broadcast and found informative, 2nd half broke down to the unhelpful narritive that Group A should be nicer to Group B. I think the majority of us know that already at some base level, and the implication that we must do more of it just seems heavy handed and even somewhat condescending
I found this quite enlightening
Surrounded by exploitative, manipulative sociopaths - just remove the mask if you truly don't care what people think abput you. Instead of lying to gain our trust , meet someone and say "hi you look kind, I'll see what i can get from you before leaving you for dead"
lol that defeats the purpose
She's not exactly anonymous, everyone knows who she is.
Do we?
We know her face but not her name
@@loren8888 From where?
@@alexanderpalmisano9565 oh idk, the Internet?
@Loren Gee thanks, I guess I'll just do a reverse voice search then...
I Like this it's good information
Wow I want to be her friend 🥺 amazing podcast
I don’t find in any way being with a sociopath is moving. They are tornados and destroy everyone in their path. That’s my experience.
I don't care at all what people think about me at all
I know this voice
It would sound fake if they try too hard
Thats why when i watch her videos in her talks, she seems odd. Her eyes and face does not express emotions. I know her
Wtf!??? Why do u call her a sociopath, when it s clear she s a psychopath!
She’s manipulating the interview by pathologically lying with her answers.
Thanks for your input 😂
