- A sociopath is someone suffering from a serious psychiatric condition called antisocial personality disorder. While no one is born with this disorder, it is associated with a pattern of antisocial behavior that began before the age of 15. Recognizing a sociopath's personality, despite the existence of telltale indications, can be challenging. Similarly to predatory animals in the wild, sociopaths are masters of camouflage and cunning. Antisocial behavior and an absence of conscience and empathy are hallmarks of the sociopath personality. Knowing the telltale indications of a sociopath can be helpful for you to identify and understand people with these tendencies so that you can set healthy boundaries.

@Royeta Pasta
Turned out to be accurate. :-))
Some who are not actually sociopath and are still just selfish people though😂
I dated a sociopath for a couple of months. They are extremely interesting people.
I do have to say that they do care about people, but only those in their inner circle. They can have a functioning and sometimes healthy relationship, but it takes a very functional sociopath.
The one I dated was also extremely responsible. She even gave me tips on how to succeed.
Long story short, they're not all bad. They're just as human as us. And some have become sociopathic through an extremely traumatized childhood, like my ex.
interesting. for some years now i have been suspecting that i might be a sociopath
I am crazy and switch so fast when someone gets on my bad side

@@darthmemewalker2807 sociopaths tend to only feel amusement and anger. Yet they also appreciate beauty. While mine was capable of feeling love, she only loved her two children. I've never met a more brutally honest person. And that sociopathic stare is absolutely hypnotizing.
Does some of these sound like you?
The thing about sociopaths is that they are not gonna stay in a relationship for too long cause sticking to their mask is tiring. Even if people encounter an allegedly "reformed" individual, they still do not feel remorse nor any attachment to a person whatsoever. They may seem to be nice at first glance but that's because they want to get to know you and choose the best way to use you.
Yes they will. If it’s in their best interest. If they are lazy and found someone to take care of most things around them so they can spend time doing whatever the hell they want. They will absolutely stay.
It is tiring, honestly.

My uncle is a sociopath. But luckily he's not a master of camouflage and cunning so everyone kind of just ignores him
😂
Yeah men kinda suck at being covert psychos. That's the woman's gold medal for sure.
😞
Hey I’m not that bad …
Everyone misunderstands and villainizes sociopaths🙄 this is why society is dumb asf. Lack of perception and knowledge.
Just had a girl I’ve been off-and-on with for years break it off with me yet again, but this time, I’m healthy and self-assured, and didn’t put up with her bullshit. This video has opened my eyes considerably.
man, I never realized how truly vile my ex was until I cut ties with them and stepped back to see the grand picture. I was too infatuated to notice all the signs.. they showed empathy but later they’d tell me that they did it out of pity and to keep the person from bugging them any more. They were also hella manipulative; they asked for money, favors and other things without ever giving back. And man, the guilt tripping and gaslighting. It was crazy.
I had a friend like that. They started out like the nicest person you’ve ever met. You would’ve thought we were close. But then he found another friend and just started distancing himself. He would blatantly lie to me and other people all the time, brag about manipulating girls to fall in love with him, use his charisma for monetary gain, the list goes on. So I feel for ya
Im married and getting a divorce in all of 1yr .. I'm sooo hurt right now, is why I'm on here texting yall
Definitely knew one.
Used to be my best friend, but after the realizing i'm no use to them monetarily, their behaviour did a full 180.
Long gone were the days of caring for eachother, hanging out and having fun together.
I got excluded from their close friend group, i was talked shit about, ignored for days, and the times they did want to contact me, it usually ended up in me being bullied or cornered to try to gain any advantage they still could.
After i tried to bring up the issues, it quickly turned into being my fault. Accused of not wanting to be friends, getting mad over imaginary things and being too sensitive.
I tried to ask nicely if we should just go our own ways, as the relationship was so toxic. I wouldn't want to part ways with anyone in bad terms. I got no response to the question, only more accusations.
Eventually they fully ignored me, so i guess that's the end of that. Not the way i wanted it to end, but at least it ended
@@Deleted_Animator she is probably narcissist
@@Deleted_Animator A sociopath is basically a narcissist with reduced fear of physical, emotional and social consequences (hence impulsive shortsighted behavior that gets them into trouble a lot) ...and they were made that way.
if you remove the shortsightedness/"fearlessness" from a sociopath, what's left is a narcissist...if you add back that shortsightedness/"fearlessness" you have a sociopath again.
(if they were born that way, it's a psychopath).
This video confirms again why I broke up with a man after a 3 month relationship last year. He put my wellbeing at risk twice doing outdoor activities that I was not equipped to do and I sustained some injuries on the 2nd outing that he minimized greatly, yet they took over 3 months to heal. Charming, manipulative, careless, prideful and a mask-wearing bully.
Sorry to hear that. I'm happy that you separated from this individual and hopefully, you draw your boundaries firmly next time. It must have been really hard to be able to part ways with someone who's controllling as well.
I dated a sociopath for awhile. I was 14-16 and he was 17-19. He was wonderful at first but he made me feel crazy. I used to shake at night and turned to harming myself. Wasn't the best relationship I had tbh
"It's ok, people are entitled to different opinions/perspective" in a concerned disappointed tone, one of my key phrases to make people doubt themself or rethink their stance to divert attention away from the issue concerning me.
but oh boy it works
@Francis Beliveau-Lajoie that's a good response, usually people don't respond that way.
@Francis Beliveau-Lajoie and the goal of that statement isn't to dismiss them, it's to make them rethink divert people's attention away from what they said, and with the current "my truth, your truth" bs most won't even object.
This only works if your influenced by external sources of validation
@@bio62rahilakhtar29 Usually they punch through that. Works really well.
I stayed in a terrible relationship for years with a sociopath because I was weak. I finally got out, but those years with him had def taken their tole. It's now been almost 9 years since that time but I still sometimes hear his antagonizing vulgar hateful voice putting me down when I am struggling emotionally, which is quite often over this past year. He literally killed my self-esteem, slowly and with pleasure. I also had family members who didn't care about how he treated me because of the things he did for them financially. He was big on buying people's love. I still hold hurt feelings and resentments towards them for that. They don't even know I feel this way because I never told them. It's not worth confronting them or even telling them at this point. We'll just remain distant relatives who barely talk.
Oof :( sorry to hear that
What would say are the differences between a sociopath and psychopath?
I do not know
Not sure
Sociopaths feel emotion, psychopaths don't or atleast that's what I know
@@wholesomeedits yah… I agree
Can't be both ?
I empathize with sociopaths because they’re only an extreme product of their environment and a lot of the time can be self aware and try to improve js like any other “mental disorder/ disability”
Yea, this video was very negative towards them.👎
Yes but no, they are still capable of critical thinking and self awareness.
We must give them the burden of their actions because with it also comes the power to change it
Once you can get them to understand how benevolence CAN become more profitable on less investment over the long term than all the manipulation and negative and toxic crap, they're generally not so difficult to be around or "deal with" as it were...
Healthy Boundaries are a tad more imperative with a sociopath than a (more or less) normal person... BUT the same can be said about anyone with a disorder, as it becomes more imperative the more "extreme" the disorder in question. ;o)
I think I am a self aware sociopath. I don't try to hurt people, just most of the sociopath behaviour comes to me naturally. It's like brushing your teeth. It's a part of a daily routine. You can control it but usually you do it automatically more often than not without realizing or trying
@@yesiwillstealurwig6589 how do you hurt people?
I’m pretty sure I dated a sociopath a few years ago, but I don’t know enough about sociopathy to be sure.
We dated for about a year and a half, and throughout it, there were certain red flags that continuously popped up but that I chose to ignore. For example, she told me that a couple years prior (she would have been about 14-15) she was mad at her sister and messed with her toothpaste to stain her mouth. Her parents would also tell me “funny” stories from when she was a young child such as that when she wanted something her sister had, she would trick her sister into believing that what she had was better and that they should trade. Pure manipulation from an early age. That incident was when she was really young, probably 7-8.
During our relationship and before it, she would steal money from her parents’ wallets and justify it by saying that they don’t treat her well enough and would laugh it off. I tried to laugh it off but it really concerned me. However the worst was how she treated me-constantly getting mad at me for small things or things she believed I did. She would gaslight me and manipulate me. She treated me horribly and after a year and a half, I had finally had enough. This isn’t everything that happened, but can anyone tell me if this is sociopathy? I’ve been very curious about this since the idea popped into my head a few months back.
regardless of what she was (which was definitely highly TOXIC), thankfully you dodged a huge, dangerous bullet and got out with your life!!!
Well the first sign may occur, depending on the sociopath. Though some sociopaths may be socialized to avoid outright breaking the law or overt aggressive behaviors. So it can depend. But because they don't have a conscience, they are much more prone to a higher probability of engaging in these behaviors. Deceptiveness is DEFINITELY a big sign. They're typically very capable of deceiving others in a variety of ways. They are even very interpersonally deceptive. For example, a Sociopath may date or even be married to someone who has absolutely no idea that his/her partner is a Sociopath. It's helpful to look at how they behave towards others, not just how they behave toward you. Sociopaths though, will often lie about what actually happened and have excuses. Yes irresponsible behaviors and/or wreckless, or thrill seeking may be more pronounced in sociopaths compared to neurotypical people. The first thing to look at, when dating someone is lack of genuine empathy. Sociopaths can be cognitively empathetic, but not actually relate to you. This usually will show up in the form of you feeling very alone much of the time in the relationship. They may not be as emotionally sympathetic, they may be emotionally negligent often times, they may be insensitive. Many people who talk about what it was like to date a sociopath said that they felt envious of other couples, who actually seemed to have a real connection. So even if the sociopath comes home to you, and you're in a long term relationship with one, you likely will still feel a very real sense of being alone somehow. This is due to lack of empathy. That's your first clue. Sociopaths may not be violent or abusive to you until or unless they have a goal that involves hurting you in some way. But then, they're dangerous.
And how would you know that they’re dangerous? Because you yourself feel fear so you coat it in as facts? That’s pretty sad. Provide evidence that all sociopaths are dangerous, then it’d be a relevant statement, but you’re just spewing shit from your ass because you’re not educated. You sit here on TH-cam and suddenly you think you’re a doctor and can deduct any human behavior 😂
Well... im pretty much like this. Im a good person and i get along with people most of the time, but i camt really feel anything deepy or happy about it.
Seeing something that might relate to my personality, I click.
I don't know if this related but there was a boy in my 5th grade class that would always try provoke almost everyone in class and laugh when we would get angry. That reminded me of this video.
My wife is Sociopath, and I love her. When one of the these traits come out, I point it out. They are not all bad when they recognize the problem and wants to improve. There is no such thing as good and evil it is us that make it so.
Are you sure she's actually a sociopath ?? Because you would have to see something wrong with what your doing to make a change if she's able to do that I kinda doubt she's a true sociopath because that's way too reasonable lol but I'm happy for you ... Wish my daughter's father could do that but hes way too manipulative and violent .
@@purrjoy8473 lets just say this...I'm glad I'm not her enemy. ^_^
This is a very true statement!
Everything fits to my older sister's partner. But they are together for 20 years by now and have 2 kids. And my sister got used to his hard character so much that she don't want to leave him or find someone else, but she likes to complain how hard life she has and that she has no help from him etc. xP It's really a hopeless situation so I don't care for it since some years now.
My ex is a horrible person and I’m pretty sure he’s had some type of childhood trauma that caused him to be a sociopath. Idk if he has a diagnosis but he definitely fits the description.
Very informative, thank you and keep it up!
I know someone who I think might be a sociopath, could someone abit more educated help me out abit?
So they have had a history of being mistreated since birth and always told to toughen up (I’ve read that nurture is a big thing? I’m honestly not sure, I just want to make sure my friend gets the right help since I care) and they where really angry and aggressive since young too, like stabbing people, hitting, biting and whatnot while also consistently lying to get others in trouble for enjoyment, and never fitted in at school no matter what, I’m pretty sure they also have a history of animal abuse, robbery, stalking and animal murder aswell
I know it’s abit tmi but I’m quite worried and i just want to give as much info as I think might be helpful? And I know all this from their parents and sibling, Thank you
Wow.... thank you so much. Currently going through a lot of legal stuff because of my insane evil ex. He checked all the boxes. I can't believe I let him lie to me for so long.
It's easy to judge a sociopath. It's very annoying to socialise especially when you're ill & need time alone...
I think if anybody could understand how the people of this world is really so so bad they would become a sociopath
that would be different. antisocial ppl dont look down on ppl or society for its immorality and wrongdoings, they look down on ppl and society due to a superiority complex. i.e. society and ppl are not as smart, are too weak, are too dependent, too emotional, too gullible, too this, too that, etc; its all a hierarchy and the anitsocial person in their mind is at the top of the top, so everyone else is like a bug or something. this is part of the antagonizing mentality antisocial ppl have; whether they act towards society accordingly by it or not or how they act upon it all varies.
Thank you I really love all of your videos ❤️
Sociopaths are not bad people they are good people, if a lots of good thing happened to them they would not become sociopath like it. What they think is right I think, because not everyone is good on this world you have to accept that people are not saints in this world
gay people sociopath be carefull buddy
People are so accepting of mental health until it’s NPD or Sociopathy
They are even more accepting of socios rather than NPDs
I did in fact dated a sociopath but I can tell this is very black & white.
Most of sociopaths are narcissists,that is something that the video doesn't contemplate.(the fact that no one is only one thing)
The sociopath I dated lacked empathy and remorse but he had consideration and respect for others beyond feeling disconnected from everything.
He's very caring, playful,wise, mature,and honest (like, extremely honest,to the point of hunting feelings but also sabotaging himself)
He worked hard for several years as a bricklayer knowing that it was affecting his health.
Then when he lost his job in the pandemic he decided to not go back to it, making furniture on his own now.
Obviously his core is to be a sociopath,but he has been working on himself since 2014 at 16 after realizing he was different, leaving behind alcohol and meaningless sex in 2020.
Even when he can be impulsive he has the intelligence to see the consequences of most of things,so he can choose in important matters and let the impulsivity for small things.
He also can recognize what things are able of triggering his violent side and walk away from that before it happens, because even when he doesn't care about hurting anyone who provokes him,he doesn't like attention and he knows that's what he's gonna get if he snap.
Once I asked him how is he so different from other sociopaths I know from my own family.
He said "you can walk but you work on a desk,you are free but barely go outside,you can hurt but you don't,you have a nice voice but you don't sing... Having the capability of doing something doesn't mean you're gonna absolutely do it. I can gaslight but that doesn't mean I'll use it in a bad way, I usually gaslight in order of leading people into revealing their true colors, making them have incongruences on their words,and exposing that for others to not be following this manipulators feels nice to me.(he had a narcissistic father,so he hate manipulators) And like that with everything else, I'm fearless and violent but I use it to protect those who I can recognize are not deserving something etc. It's beyond who you are, it's about the decisions you take."
I need to clarify that the reason why it didn't work was because of him pushing the ones he loves away in order to protect them from something that can be toxic as himself...
I often do the impulsive part. And sometimes irritable. But I don't think I am a sociopath
Yup, finally dated my first sociopath. I feel like there should be a therapy group for us
I’m on board bro ☝️
Recently went on a date with a guy who believes he is a sociopath and I believe it as well. Since neither of us were feeling any pressure or looking for anything serious it was incredibly intoxicating and honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had and our date ended up lasting nearly 24 hours. couldn’t see it going anywhere because some of the reckless behaviors but damn was it a great time just for a moment.
yeah...thats the type you want to avoid. you get attached your life will be ruined.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Not sure I agree that successful sociopaths are the exception. Positions of power and influence are attractive to sociopaths and being manipulative and uncaring creatures, they are willing to do great evils to obtain that position. In an exploitative capitalist system, sociopathic personalities are most likely to rise to the top because our system was designed by sociopaths.
lol false. some yes, some no lol. some antisocials dont care about power lol. some antisocials cant even get past their own self to do anybody else any harm lol; a lot of antisocials hurt themselves more than they hurt other people LOL. people dont think; a lack of conscience doesnt just mean empathy for others, it also means lack of conscience/empathy for self. Lack of conscience could also be described as something of a disconnection from life itself. not to mention the other disorders that tend to manifest with antisocial personality like adhd, depression, bipolar, etc. some antisocial people do manipulate and harm others sure; same as people who arent antisocial. some antisocial people just live their life as they wanna live it. lacking empathy doesnt automatically make someone a bad person lol.
Yeah I've been stalked by one..😒
9 DAAYS TILL MMYY BIRTHDAY🥳🍻 another year and i am still awake but so much tired in the same time 😩
I just auto rank myself high on the sociopathy scale, but I wasn’t born this way. Continuous traumatic events made me lose tact with people and not put in the effort to show that I care to those that I do.
Omg this describes my ex aly to the point. Didnt realize this is why she always had me subconsciously worried haha
I actually engaged a (long distance) friendship with someone who still is unclear if he's a schizophrenic or sociopath. Being an Asperger, I always recognise them later. I counted the "symptoms" in this video. On 7 points, he scored 11 traits. The fact is: he seems to be nice to me any looking up to me when a problem comes out and since I like to help people I rarely say "no" to that.
Then he became to be "time abusing" (at the point he uses me all day long to ask even idiotic things) and if I try to detach he manipulate me. If I force myself to have a "me" time, else I will have a shutdown, he starts to be mean and insults me.
When I didn't agree with him he tried to manipulate reality and myself, telling me "stop behaving so autistic and read what I wrote, you don't understand".
Two days ago he went to the psychiatrist and got an antipsychotic prescribed.
He told me an event of the past and we finished to verbally fight and what came out is a concentrate of this video.
How can I now detach myself, even slowly, bringing back the balance there once were? He seems a good boy who had a bad past and who needs help. Or that is what he told me.
I don't know what to do.
you cant help him if he doesn’t work on himself. trust me there is literally nothing you can do unless he learns to deal with himself, if the relationship is causing you a lot of stress, it’s best for you to leave
take care of yourself first
@@thaliajones9383 thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to know how do I always get friend or find attractive people with PD. My ex husband was a narcissist and dark empath (and god only knows what else), this friend is a sociopath (and I'm slowly taking the distances), another friend I like (but lives overseas) came out as BP with PTSD and depression...
How comes? Everyone has a PD or is it me?
I just care for the people who's close to me, but I don't really feel anything for other people, sometimes I can be also manipulative and dishonest, but at least I don't easily get irritated, I'm usually calm, so maybe I'm still safe? 😅
this video only furthers the stigmatization of sociopaths/psychopaths
Every day I feel like I’m falling further and further I’m trying to help it but I can’t not just for myself but for the people that I think I love for the feelings that I think I have I can barely feel emotions life is just not worth living. I’m trying so so hard, but at the end I feel empty.
That sounds like depression and having a burnout. That doesn’t make you a sociopath. Depression can take away your sense of reality and empathy.
@@Spiritual.Druid4444 yeah I turned out something like that
@@Spiritual.Druid4444 yeah, I kind of forgot about this comment but yeah, I figured it out. I had a really bad addiction that’s probably where depression kicks in
@@Spiritual.Druid4444 thank you informing me
was in a relationship with a sociopath, and this video explained a lot of what he was like. I'm still trying to get back on track with my life without thinking about the harm he caused right before I ended us.
Broken women tend to be drawn to them like moths to a flame. So take some time to heal before just being drawn straight to another one.
Yes, I was dating someone like that who is also narcissistic..
Just remember not every person you may describe as crazy is a sociopath, they may just be crazy.
I dated what I think was a sociopath for half a year and my main take away is that you shouldn't reveal too much about your most inner struggles too early on. He found a very particular way/context to have me spill all my past trauma a few dates in and after that he just began mirroring exactly the kinds of validation I needed to feel attached to him. He made me believe he loved me more than anything and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and had paraded me around all his family and most of his friends only to try to cheat on me one day after we went into long distance.
A lot of things make sense now. His past with alcoholism and risky fencing (with sharp sabors), an incident where he bumped into an old lady hard who was yelling out in pain and was super unphased because "he said sorry, if she didn't hear it that's her problem" and generally a lot of the ways in which he would behave. He was also highly intelligent and great at masking, so he'll probably still have a pretty solid future professionally
Well this is a pleasant surprise, I've recently (2 days ago) come to a realization about someone in my life and they have most of these traits...
Which traits did you noticed most?
@@Psych2go all of them except impulsiveness, they're literally the complete opposite in that regard
@@DarkSidePhoenix Psychopath 💀
My stalker(s), for sure. I was diagnosed with BPD as a teen and though I've largely remediated that, I'm always on guard for regression, especially since I see some parallels between this mental disturbance and sociopathy 😢 which I refuse to allow myself to be.
I am a sociopath. A decently reformed one, but a sociopath nonetheless (although my therapist ghosted me so idk). I was all of these, yet deep down i was a very responsible and caring boy, I know it, i never did anything too bad and tried to have guidelines for myself. But relationships. I messed it up with the love of my life, ive never forgiven myself. Thats why im trying to get better. Thats why i hate how girls find sociopaths "hot" because its a genuine disorder. It doesnt let me do what i feel like is right, I have more of a moral compass than an average socio, but am way more impulsive, so it doesnt even really matter. I feel like the only positive of sociopathy is the narcissism, because it means that i have the most confidence ever, which, along with the placebo effect, actually helps in my education. So this is my message out there to not ruin the end of your childhood like me. Get therapy, if you dont want anyone to know, use the 7cups free plan (although they are the ones that ghosted me).
great vidio like always!! tho as a person diagnosed with what commonly is known as psychopathy, it would also be nice to see a video that isnt so negative against people with dark triade trates, we are around 1% of the total population and none of us chose to be the way we are, by alianating so many people by only showing how bad we are and not talking for example about what we do to try not to hurt the people around us despite our conditions.
Sorry for my bad english btw, I am not a native))
Wednesday on Netflix is a sociapath
Yeah me too
I got diagnosed not exactly with sociopathy but with ASPD, so Idk if I'm sociopath or psychopath, and honestly, IDGAF, just lemme live my life and shut tf up.

Can we try to stave away from labelling as them or that, and projecting towards others in hidden resent, but actually recognize the pain that may sit in all of us, that affects our deep sense of self, gives rise to darker aspects of our personalities and the false senses of relieve within competition and avoidance to feel through manipulation. Healing is what we need, to become whole again, in unity and for ourselves. Spread messages that invite to take a loving but honest and cultivating view at oneself and stay away from soul destructing judgement, which may also be just as 'sociopathically hidden' in 'psychological analysis'. Love ends where someone isn't fully regarded as human, and for 'sociopathic people' that realm of love may be so damaged that it has become so small that it becomes selffulfillingly not only rejected by themselves, but also by the world, by a lable. Make them as human as possible with all the understanding we can allow ourselves to provide and end the cycle of pain🤲🏽
I seriously doubt this video is a very even handed look at sociopathy, and what's more, it seems to continue a stigma that does nothing to help people living with sociopathy. No proposed coping strategies, no attempt to defuse the social assumption that sociopaths are the worst, just a whole lot of unsubtle implications that they're horrible people.
I've begun to wonder if a close friend of mine is a sociopath, but he is unironically a good person. He values honesty and kindness, is deeply invested in advocating for the rights of others. What I think is his sociopathy is him having a hard time understanding the why behind other people's behavior. He has a childlike way of worrying about how people will react to something he's done rather than considering how they'd perceive and rationalize what was done. I think he's not remotely malicious, but that he thinks in a way that creates friction in his interpersonal relationships. Friction that can be smoothed out by him discussing it with his therapist and making it easier to be patient with him. I'm not saying that sociopaths can't be bad people, I have an ex I am at least 80% sure was a sociopathic narcissist who definitely is one of the worst people I've been in contact with, but those aspects are not what make my ex a bad person, they simply inform how that maliciousness manifests. I've known far too many neurotypical people who are also total assholes.
To sum up, sociopathy is just how a person deals with interpersonal communication and is not in of itself indicative of a malicious person.
Love the Makima thumbnail!
So Sonic The Hedgehog is a low grade sociopath? Interesting.
Thanks. One thing I would want to clarify. A house which makes a Sociopath -consist of many children. A child who "choose " to obey their egoistic narc parents - is the child who knows & still chooses Or can say use them /accompany them for their own benefit. So they are not suffering. They like being Sociopaths.
Gaslighting and manipulation is something I’d always use to do bcuz I felt so sad and wasn’t happy w myself. I stopped thankfully though.
I just broke up with my bf today and he has all of these...I'm so grateful for the fact that I broke up with him and that I had my friends by my side to support me❤
Summary:
1. Lack of care for other people 1:03
2. Manipulation and gaslighting
I have a roommate who displays symptoms of a sociopathic disorder. He can be fun to hang around with sometimes and then other times there's this tension that I feel because of some behaviors he has displayed or expressed (ex. boast about stealing, only hanging around people he can push boundaries with, manipulative, charismatic). I am changing rooms because I don't want to be around him because of these behaviors that I find concerning and invasive. Any suggestions on how I can handle a person struggling with this?
I think it'll be best to stay away from him but not make it too obvious that you're avoiding him but slowly set boundaries and be distant so the relationship between the two of you becomes more formal
Run
Psych2Go confirmed for being Chainsawman readers... wild.
Thank you for this video! 😀💐
... At the start it felt like ASPD was being demonized. It's sad to see videos like this be spread around on the internet that we have only pure intents to cause distrust or hurt other people. Truly at the end of the day, my toxic traits rely down to the fact of me wanting to protect people that I might view as "weaker" than me. While there is nothing healthy about ASPD nor the mindset, it also doesn't mean that you (like me) have to fit the stereotype to use manpilative tactics to "lie or get their way out of trouble". If anyone else has ASPD, just know you are more than a statistic and your disorder.
These symptoms or attributes are not cookie cutter a person may have some or even varying degrees of some of these characteristics. It’s not one size fits all. I think this is often misunderstood about about psychiatric disorders.
1. But they will pretend to care so long as it is of benefit to them. If you don't take the bait, that's when they get angry.
2. The gaslighting will make you hyper vigilant and paranoid.
3. They will play the "two lies and a truth game" so you'll always be left wondering if you're just crazy.
4. Impulsive control can be big or small. Getting gas station extras last second even when it's financially a waste.
5. Grumpy old man down the street syndrome.
6. They can be extremely responsible at work and neglect everything at home. As long as on the outside it looks OK.
7. The negligence can be big or small. Pay attention.
I wish people with antisocial personality disorder weren't portrayed as fictional mass murderers, snakes, or the literal devil and told that them being successful is the exception. I also wish outdated terms like sociopath would stop being used.
Exactly! @psych2go do better
So what is the new term?
nice reference to makima in the thumbnail
The first image we see is misspelled. Doesn't look professional, so you might want to correct it.
Love this voice it's so relaxing and makes listening easier for me 😃
Glad you like it!! I'm happy that you enjoy the voice.
Concur thoroughly 😘Aģape Silverado
Do video on how to know whether We are sociopath or not...
Signs you're a sociopath kind of thing?
why the hell does the thumbnail reminds me of Techno
I actually like telling people about myself but they always take it as a joke since nobody would say it straight out loud.
All those comments about tolerance and how misunderstood socipaths are sound nice, except dating one or having to coexist with them for long periods may destroy lives and harm seriously one's mental and emotional health. I have zero empathy for those kind of people, if they don't have empathy or interests in others, why shoud I have it for them? It's just that easy.
“Hiding on plain sight” is grammatically incorrect it should say “hiding in plain sight” still a good video tho
My ex is very much like this. He was reckless. Its taking me YEARS to get to this point of understanding what the hell happened and who the hell he was.
I could be wrong but I think psychopaths are more likely to get high positions of power than sociopaths. Due to not being emotional.
I don’t lie . I’m a brutally honest person
Congrats on reaching 10M only God knows how your content helped me ❤️🔥
i think i know someone who has all these symptoms
myself
Me too
I married one briefly. She trapped me to marry me and during the divorce it came out in the discovery responses with her medical past. Helped piece everything together. She screwed her married attorney to pay her debt and found out she roofied me to sleep with a singer at the wine bar she liked to go to. Constantly told me I’m jealous or it didn’t really happen like that. Crazy. She’s fucking crazy.
My ma nearly died and I just said ok with out having a second thought or even visiting her in hospital.
Trust me I know the feeling I once smashed my cousin's finger in the door and I couldn't stop laughing I apologize but I don't even think I was being truthful I didn't feel bad what I don't understand is I used to feel compassion and now I don't feel guilt for hurting others I enjoy their pain I truly do wish I was normal again just like a properly show love but I'm a monster like you
I think my brother is a sociopath because he’s got no remorse for anyone, lies to get out of trouble, does stuff without thinking and makes people do what he wants
I dunno but I feel like I'm a sociopath:cc I easily got upset about something and my bf is the one who's suffering :c I won't be surprised if he will leave me. He is my greatest love and I'm trying my very best way to be better, not just for him but most especially for myself.
Unfortunately i married a sociopath. Its been the most tumultuous, emotionally painful and financially distructive period of my whole life.
I’ll love her forever
She’s one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever seen.
I've always wondered what was wrong with me why do I not crave connection
why do I see people as objects than people I always thought about being in a relationship but yet I cannot show affection and I fear I can hurt them and I know I would enjoy
it why do I get pleasure from hurting people
when it comes to reading people's emotions I'm great at it I can replicate their emotion their expression but I'm not capable of replicating the feelings everyday I wish I was normal I wish I felt guilt so when I hurt someone I could truly apologize I'm not bragging
I would say it hurts but it doesn't I don't feel anything I watch videos hoping for once something will make me feel something I wish I wasn't a monster
i have almost all the traits i know now how to hide without getting caught thank you so much Psych 2 go 🤫❤️
Wow okay well I can't argue any of the points you've made as they are rather straight forward. I've gotta admit it feels kinda shitty that you've basically said they can and will only be bad people in total and with no acknowledgment of possible treatment or methods to address it makes them seem like lost causes. I have a close family member whose currently going to therapy to try and overcome this behavior and I don't think this video would give them much if any hope.
I'm antisocial but also empathetic. Hmmm....
Does that make me a sociopath with standards? :D
Actually no, I think I'm just chaotic good.
I had so many bad things happen to me in the past that I wouldn't wish any of it upon my worst enemy. Ok that's a lie I actually would but the point is, I still enjoy being nice for no reason.
I've been thinking lately how the actual good hearted people are the minority in this world. I'm used to being a minority.
Also, Ethics in school taught me that whenever we do something nice for someone is because we enjoy the reward of feeling good about it. That actually troubled me for some time but I learned to embrace it. (I guess I actually did learn something in school lol)
Just be nice to people without expecting anything in return... Be the bigger person. Even some sociopaths are capable of doing that if they really wanted to... Right?
I immediately thought about one person who is a coordinator in a foundation. Yes. A person who joined a group of people helping others fits this perfectly. I wanted to be a volonteer to get money for the kid foundation is helping, earning something was just side effect and I spent everything on gifts for dad (ok, I bought some clothes and books for me too, also for cat and dog) but she kept talking about how much we can earn. Talking only about earning money, not mentioning the kid, only telling us to never tell we can earn money on it, told us that people will give more if we would say it all goes for the kid. She also never gave back things she borrowed. Also once we saw a ring just next to her and only after someone mentioned it she said someone could lose it. But she kept it next to her all the time. I was kicked out after I asked her how much money she really gives to foundation. She kept yelling that I should be grateful that she let me work for her because without her I wouldn't be able to buy meds (I bought meds with my dad's retirement money, I buy them every month) and I shouldn't accuse her for anything. Also when I collapsed first time at work she helped in front of everyone. But when I collapsed the second time she wasn't there (she should be, she should make sure we work) and only messaged me that I'm causing troubles. So only money mattered. Not the child. Not us. Nothing. Just money.
Being a “volunteer” means you don’t get any money
@@-AyeYallThereGoLaFlare- You're right. That's also part of the situation being weird. We signed the papers that we're volunteers but still she was taking parts of the money we collected to pay us.
I’m a sociopath and I always let ppl know but they never believe me and think ima “nice guy” till the sociopathy starts
Same
well yeah I don’t think ppl will believe you if you’re like “hey man just letting you know I’m a sociopath” but they definitely will once they see your behaviour.
@@keeptaiwanfree In my case, not everyone I had met, knows the term sociopath but it causes conflict when they see my behaviour, also, I let people know that I'm not a nice girl at all but I guess the initial forms of showing my 'affection' is what makes them stay, but once I suppress my emotions and the sociopath behaviour starts, everything is messed up.
Yea my boyfriend has this I’m sure of it I just don’t know how to help him he doesn’t even wanna go to therapy? Keep in mind I have Bpd so both of these things will make it a challenge for relationship.
After having survived a relationship with a psychopath, you can understand I became a bit more... careful. Pretty sure I was dating a sociopath. Shows similar anti-social behavior, but more mildly. Easier to catch I must say. I am writing this because tomorrow I'll have to call him, to say, this is it.
Omg, that described my date perfectly. Thank you.
Yes this is me 😢 I was diagnosed with bpd years ago but I didn't know this is really me
Ofcouse I am dating a damn sociopath. Before that it was 5 narcissists & couple of fullblown psychopaths. I though I knew it all but no...this current one came across diferently, and now I get it, he’s a sociopath. After I run from him and the whole threats/burning my things/agression/calling my poor dad to resque me - shagang is over, I AM NEVER LETTING A MAN NEAR ME AGAIN.
The Chainsaw Man spoiler though hahahahahah
bro you spoiling chainsaw man for others 😭
These videos are really making it more difficult to understand the difference between psychopaths and sociopaths
I believe psychopathy you’re born with and sociopath you develop. I think the key is psychopathy is more to do with no empathy and will do anything to get power for example. Where as sociopaths struggle in society due to the traits explained in this video. Usually this disorder comes from childhood abuse, whereas some people are born as psychopaths. Their brains develop in a way that means they lack empathy etc hope that helps
