- Many people use the terms sociopathy and psychopathy interchangeably, but they have different meanings. “Sociopath” is an unofficial term to describe a person who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), whereas psychopathy describes a set of personality traits. However, ASPD and psychopathy can overlap. Learn about the differences in this video.
Remember that this video is not made to attack anyone who may display these signs or anyone diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, but rather to understand and bring more awareness to the topic! This video is also for informative purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.

But I think the growing leaf on sociopath means that they dont hide anything and expose their emotions like how the leaf is exposed and growing.
The Psychopath leaf is Cut and rearranged to show they're organized and are capable of changing themselves depending on who they're surrounded by...keeping their true selves hidden and small

Psychopaths are almost emotionally dead. They are fearless. Sociopaths get angry and stressed out very easily.
@RowdyKid Psychopath dont feel fear at all if they clean up a murder for example its not because they fear its because they are aware they will suffer consequences there a difference between being fearless and careless. you can be aware of danger wihout feeling fear. second not all psychopath would clean up after a murder psychopathy is not something you devlop its people (like autism) born with a different brain than neurotypicals, and being a psychopath dosent restrain from being an idiot. In fact most low functional psychopath are in jail because they cannot feel fear but are too dumb to have awareness about the aftermath of their actions where high functional psychopath are smart enough to know that they should be careful altrough its hard for them to be careful cuz they rely on their intellect and not an emotion they r brain cannot simulate.
@RowdyKid I think psychopaths are more cold, calculated, fake emotions and blend in perfectly in society. Sociopaths are more unstable and act more upon their emotions.
so am i a sociopath or sum?
We, psychopaths are completely fearless and are a bit impulsive
@RowdyKid here a video for you: th-cam.com/video/dRjm7LZ2CEY/w-d-xo.html
So...
Basically one is hot headed, but wears a heart on there sleeve.
While the other one is cool and calculated, but bears a heart of stone?
And didn't even know it?
okay. but if it's hot headed. and wears the heart on their sleeve.
Combine it with social anxiety? It's the person who secludes from people, who are afraid of getting hurt. and hurt others easily when they get too close and they make 1 minor mistake.

So smart very well said
I feel very weird right now. Because I have always been subconsciously aware of me being fundamentally different than your every day person, but watching this video has shined more light on my tendencies and have made me become more aware. When comparing myself to both of sociopaths and psychopaths tendencies I have found myself in the middle of both of them every single time, and I can relate to everything you said. One thing that I didn't end up in the middle of was how I came to be this way. I believe that it comes from genetics because I have always had a stable life
Being a psychopath doesn't make you emotionally numb so you can feel emotions too, just in a different way than a person that isn't one

This was actually very useful to tell the two ASPD conditions apart. Ty.
I used to tell them apart simply by their names - sociopathy develops because of social reasons while a psychopath is born with a condition regarding their psyche, it’s actually in the name
That is actually really helpful I already knew the difference but still
It doesn't work
This kinda helps. I could never tell the difference hence me watching this vid.

To sum up, psychopaths hate you but pretend to like you while sociopaths are more like “I hate you and I want you to know it.”
i think sociopaths are much better at least in their case you know you will be in danger around them but in psychopath's case you have no idea what's coming your way ...so scary
@@palakkumari112 I don't like how you state being around a sociopath is necessarily putting yourself in danger,, they are humans too afterall and you as a person have the right to keep a critical eye on what they do and not put yourself in danger. It doesn't mean they are
also, it is not hate sociopaths feel towards others ; they just don't find most people interesting or worth their time in any way

@@wrlly exactly, the last paragraph is so true

This is quite a helpful video because people oftentimes mistake the two terms as one and the same, even though they are different.
Short answer: Psychopathy are private impostors while Sociopathy are public
But, it all depends.
For example: I tend to mask a lot, even if I’m a sociopath
I tend to be more calculated and lay low even though I’m a sociopath

@@horns4265 did you go to a therapist?
Note for viewers: Sociopaths can actually can have almost exactly the same symptoms as psychopaths being calculated and thoughtful, but still fall under sociopathy from being learned and having a slight bit of empathy. The crossovers are quite common and often the main difference is how their condition first developed. The disorder is very different from person to person.

Alexander Dashit : I am pretty sure being a sociopath does not equate to committing crimes at all.
@Alexander Dashit so like what kind of crimes are we talking about? Petty theft, hitting a fellow kid, drinking underaged, doing drugs or owning a knife? Can it be as simple as that?
Do you have a link to it? I can’t find it with a quick search.
Sorry for the trouble
@@NuevoExistence Well said, there is a huge spectrum. I am an ASPD with some Psychopath traits and NPD. My exxes served a purpose, but I am highly in Love of my partner. We can care, is just not very common.
Are you sure? If psychopaths are soo good in fake emotions and 'Empaty', how do you tell apart a sociopath from a psychopath who is faking? I'm really confuse right now... I was diagnosed with sociopathy a few years ago... But I have all the Psychopath traits in this video... I don't what to do next.
Thank you! I've been looking up the term sociopath recently, but the definitions aren't very good, but this is amazing and describes things well!
The way I always thought about it is that sociopaths can choose to feel empathetic, or chose whether to feel guilty they have the capability to understand the difference between right and wrong but can choose where to apply it where as psychopaths cannot do any of those things.
Here are the main 5 differences
1. 1:27 Sociopaths don't care about others while psychopaths pretend to
2. 1:58 Sociopaths are impulsive while psychopaths tend to be methodical
3. 2:26 Sociopaths are generally a product of their environment while psychopaths are born
4. 2:57 Sociopaths can feel empathy in certain situations while psychopaths cannot
5. 3:27 Sociopaths tend to be unstable while psychopaths are "stable"
Thanks for putting this together! :)
Conclusion: I am a sociopath.
These videos are starting to hit me where it's suppossed to hurt.
Its really hard for me to have a thought for others when I get super abused as a sociopath
Oh- 👀👄👀
Sooo... I am a psychpath?
01:00 is what A LOT of people need to hear. I keep hearing so many people calling themselves Antisocial just because they don't like being around people. They might be Asocial...
Yes ur right!! I used to find that it's called anti-social, but now I know it's asocial. But I feel like I'm also anti social, because I have no empathy when I hurt others and I'm kinda manipulative. I do feel really guilty tho, but I get really angry for no reason. Anyways, I don't want to claim I have it, I just like to assume. I'm gonna get that checked in the future
@@rainy5517 It's similar for me. If it's someone I care for, I will go up and beyond to make sure I protecc them, but if I don't, well, let's just say the no-empathy thing happens. Thankfully, if I meet anyone, I will care for them : D
Another thing is that I used to be a rather impulsive kid in 4th and stuff, and lashed out at people in anger because I couldn't take teasing '`/
It's not a problem anymore (am in 10th), but considering this vid, I'm prob one. That, added with specific types of laws/rules I tend to disregard, because they feel supressive. For example, a friend of mine stated stuff about not being able to join LGTBQ+ because of being a Muslim and rules. I basically said stuff about them rules being stupid :)
AND I can manipulate a bit, I guess. Like everything I do usually has an ulterior motive. Said motive is usually me triggering help for people somehow, but still.
So I have some anti-social behaviour most probably, like a very diluted form of sociopathy, but prob I do ._.
I think that sounds accurate
@@umangsheel7819 it's a struggle for me, because I manipulate them into helping me, even if they need the help the most and then when I blame them for everything, they end up hating themself.
My self esteem is very low, so hurting others just makes it worse. I know what I'm doing, but at the same time, its hard to stop and I dont wanna do it, because I end up really guilty and hating myself even more (I do want them to help me tho, idk it's really hard to explain)
I'm trying to be a better person. I dont lash out that much anymore, but when I do, I disregard all MY mistakes and blame it on others. It's like my brain wont function and I'm too stubborn to admit
@@rainy5517 Well then, would you like me to try helping you?
@@umangsheel7819 oh, so you got any tips?

@@fel524 Thank you. Good luck to you as well!
Amazing explanation! Thanks
The animation is just eye candy✨️
The way I've studied it, Sociopaths are erratic, impulsive, very anxious, and tend to feel regret for their actions. Psychopaths are methodical, manipulative, enjoy torturing their victims and feel no remorse at all. They are very intelligent, capable of faking any emotion that isn't anger. They're also quick to anger if they feel they are not in control.
Wow. Yeah that makes sense
Sounds about right. Sociopaths also tend to recognize what they're doing is wrong, but will often try to justify their behavior. Meanwhile psychopaths don't believe they're in the wrong at all. Psychopaths also despise agonizing boredom, which explains why they indulge in reckless behaviors (that, and the fact they don't have a fear of consequence).
stop being stupid please and understand that all sociopaths are diffrent ok, you guys are labeling sociopaths,and psychopahs like zodiac signs, its like me saying you and other 50 guys are exactly the same because you are a scorpio
Contrary to popular belief; psychopaths are not naturally sadistic. There is nothing to be gained for them when torturing another human being. If they have no objective goal to gain from the torture, then there is no reason to inflict pain. Sociopaths, are more likely to be sadistic, because it requires a level of empathy. A bad mix of empathy and abuse will make a person projecting their pain on others, not just for sociopaths.

Very nice video
Love the animation music & script
Hi, someone with diagnosed ASPD here. In my experiences, I can’t feel empathy whatsoever, but I still usually have a sense of right and wrong.
As an example, I tend to be completely removed from the emotions of others. I can still develop attachments to people, the same way everybody else does. The difference is that I can not regulate that they’re alive in my mind. It’s comparable to how you see characters in a movie, or a book. You can get very attached to these characters, so much so that you may cry when they die. But you can never really experience genuine connection with these people. It’s like everyone’s a cardboard cutout, or a really realistic robot.
Thus, if I hurt someone, I won’t feel bad. I make it a point that I won’t do it again, because it would damage our relationship, but when I have upset someone, I feel no remorse because the act is already done, and I don’t understand nor care about their emotions.
This, in my understanding, is the best way to understand Aspd.
We can make connections, and become attached to people. The friends we have ARE genuine friends. We get upset when people around us die, or when we’re in dangerous situations. We get upset when people don’t like us, or hurt us.
However, we aren’t upset about these things because of your emotions, we’re upset about these things because of our own emotions. We can’t understand others whatsoever, so we rely on our own morals, which, can be sometimes, bad.
And yes, for the record, we do have emotions. Quite strong ones, in my case. However, as you see it, most of us repress our emotions, because it’s what we’re used to.
We can’t see or feel others emotions, so our natural urge is to not let others see or feel ours.
For example, my thought process when one of my friends is crying is something like this.
Me: “why are you crying?”
My friend: “my boyfriend just broke up with me!”
Me in my head: “ok, well, I want this person to keep on being my friend. I don’t really care that they’re crying, but I like them, so I’ll support them.”
Me: “I’m sorry that happened”.
However, this behaviour took a while to learn for me. I know that as a child, people would cry and I wouldn’t do anything. This isn’t because I didn’t care, it’s because I couldn’t see that they were upset. Again, the thing I want to drive home here is that we can’t understand others emotions. ASPD sufferers who haven’t tried to develop emotional intelligence can go as far as to think crying means that someone is happy. That’s the most important thing to understand when dealing with someone with this illness.
Thanks for sharing that. This helps understand the condition a lot! I just have one question if you don’t mind. You don’t have to answer.
Do you wish you didn’t have ASPD? Or are you happy/comfortable with it?
@@NuevoExistence literally medically diagnosed, it's ok if you don't believe that, but there's no need to comment.
@@NuevoExistence fair
@@abiade9614 I do wish I didn't have it. However, it does have advantages. I'm able to prioritise myself and my family, and it's easy to think about myself compared to others. I've never been a people pleaser, and I've always been able to pursue my own goals. However, other than that, it's almost overwhelmingly bad. I do wish I didn't have it, but it IS what makes me "me", so I have accepted it. Thanks for asking!
yikes another wannabe edgy person
My mother is a sociopath, and was diagnosed in high school. This lead to severe strain in our relationship and her treatment of me, but in no way is my mother an inherently bad person. In fact, talking to her about her perception of the world has made it a lot easier for me to understand why she behaves the way she does. She's explained that until she had me and my brother- and since then- she's never felt love for anyone. Not her parents, siblings, friends, or partners. Just us. I don't know if this is because she sees us as an extension of herself, but it was interesting to hear because it's not a fact she's ashamed of. I think her being mistreated as a child is what contributed to her mistreatment of me: it was how she believed parents created children. But in that same vein, my mother has always been supportive of me being queer and is passionate about LGBT+ rights- she does have a clear sense of morality and sticks to it. After I moved out, I gave my mother an ultimatum that we would not speak until she sought treatment for her past trauma, and over the last few years, she's shown major improvement in how she treats herself and others.
Good for you ah, I'm glad that your mother is seeking treatment and trying to better her relationship with you :DDD
Aaaw it's so sweet that the first one your mother love is you and your brother
Being an inherently bad person is pretty much a requirement for the diagnosis.
Woah that is interesting but I sure don’t care

How is this a scary topic?
@@BMB200 not exactly scary, just *kind* of disturbing and this channel talks about topics like these very calmly
At a certain point, you’ll realize that other people tend to focus too much on the morality of their choices rather than what they stand to gain.
It’s a good starter block of knowing where you stand on the mental scale.
Another big one, which is decidedly more obvious in this “pathic tell” is your effect on other people.
Sociopaths never tend to connect to people well enough, but can still leave lasting effects, while psychopaths can change dozens of people through over the course of their lives through subtle influences.
Essentially, psychopaths can mold people because they will tend to be appearing as intelligent, respectable people, while simultaneously sharing with you the most unethical ways to accomplish your task whilst hiding all the bad sides of what you’ve just been convinced to do.
Thank you, great content.
It’s a sad thing that just a certain change in a certain part of one’s gene can become either a mad genius like Einstein or a psychopath.
I remembered reading a few reports that psychopaths do share a high IQ score similar to that of geniuses like Thomas Edison
Not quite, the key parts of becoming a person for a child are always family(or it's substitutes) and environment.
I agree with your statement, but it’s a bit complicated.
It’s been thought that schizophrenia can be caused by one particular gene, and scientists confirmed that by deleting that gene in a group of monkeys. Autism appears to be caused by many genes, as well as environment.
Einstein was a genius, but he had trouble living in society, whereas psychopaths can completely blend in, appearing normal.
Whether it’s genes or environment, there’s a lot of variation in people, and conditions. We just have to work with what we got
Well, if they don't have to spend all their energy worrying avout emotion, their brain is freed up to pursue other things.
It is an interesting premise though. If humans did not have to worry about emotions, then what would our brains be trying to do to survive instead?
Tbh its both genetically made or just human made by bullying or just jealous
Plot twist; Thomas Edison was a psychopath XD
(I dunno if that's true-)
I do think it's important to remark that there are functional, non-violent psychopaths (and sociopaths) who can actually live a long, normal and peaceful life without having issues with other people.
Yes because they realize they can just about never get away with any crime in today’s world where every street corner has 16 different angles of camera in 4k. They understand that they will be caught so they don’t do it.

@@mayonnaiseaddict4676 My family live with me and they're doing pretty fine, so it can't be hard
I am sociopathic chipmunk who is thinking about getting professional help because of the fact that I'm a sociopath.
Interesting how similar that is to a BPD phenomenon known as "favourite part". Cluster B after all but damn
My husband is diagnosed to be in the full spectrum of psychopathy and I am diagnosed with primairy psychopathy in a lower spectrum and severe BPD, my husband and I are attached to each other in our own way.
And for those who think psychopaths don't experience fear, that is not true!
I also have PTSD, panic disorder and OCD wich are anxiety disorders
It just depends on wich spectrum you are with psychopathy or sociopathy.
Therapy can teach you to behave as social as possible but also learn you to recognize your emotions ( yes even psychopaths do have emotions, being emotionally comprimised doesn't mean that you don't have emotions that's a misconception)
As someone with ASPD i hate the negative stigma around it. Barely anyone who is a sociopath or psychopath is actually a bad person. Everyone has negative flaws, we just happen to be more apathetic than other people around us.
There is a reason for the negative stigma. Whilst yes I agree that many people with ASPD aren't bad people, the negative stigma is put on all those with ASPD as a result of those who are highly Psychopathic/fully Psychopathic (and the people who are highly/fully Psychopathic are considered dangerous for a really good reason. They often leave suffering for dozens of other people in their wake).
Read 'surrounded by psychopaths' by Thomas Erikson. It really helps shed a light on fully psychopathic people (again, they are the extreme end of the ASPD spectrum, but they are surprisingly large in number). And by the way, if you do read the book, I scored 23/40 and I consider those who are 30/40 - 35/40 the most dangerous. However, despite my 23/40, I think my personality is Major Green, Minor Yellow, Minor Blue.
well I mean... no being able to feel empathy makes you unable to be... well like most of us. it is a guarantee that you understand what would the consequences of your action on other would be if you did one thing or another. without that deep and clear understanding we have no garantee of basic level safety around people like you.
like imagine someone who sad because they have law self esteem and considers themselve as ugly, let's say someone who doesn't have ASPD talk to them, and let's even say they actually indeed don't find them attractive. what are they going to say ?
Well they'll say something along the line of "don't say that you are not ugly" or "everyone have they're own taste, there's someone out there for you !" even if they indeed don't consider them attractive. why ? because it is no use to tell a possibly hurtfull personal truth to someone who is already very sad and has no self esteem. it's dangerous even, it coul lead to depression and even suicide. you can imagine how you would feel in such situation, it would be painfull... or at least if you don't have ASPD you'd easily imagine it and immediatly know what is the right choice to make here.
now let's say the other person has ASPD... well tell me yourself ! what would you say to someone who call themselves ugly, have very low self esteem and that you indeed don't find attractive ? can you 100% guarantee that you would know what to say to not hurt that person more than they already are ?
My bet is on no.
so it just doesn't feel safe being around people with ASPD, not only because they're different and we're efraid of anything that is different, but also because they're different in an unsafe way from our point of view.
thank you for saying that
“The negative stigma” you literally can’t feel empathy if you have these conditions, there is a “negative stigma” because the condition is a negative thing. It’s not very complicated, however I’d agree with you that media overemphasises these conditions and exaggerates their violent ness or calculativness for the thrill of the audience.
And I can’t believe you just used “negative” and “flaw” right next to each other, every flaw is negative, otherwise it’s not a flaw, the sheer ridiculousness of young I suppose liberals is actually hilarious.

As someone who is diagnosed with ASPD (Sociopath kind), I can assure you we have a sense of right and wrong, its just, a little different for all of us.
Is that true tho?

The video more told me I'm a sociopath, it's odd that this channel has helped me learn a lot about me.
Hi. Diagnosed psychopath here. In my mind, it is easy and preferable that I do not have most emotions (and if I do, they are shallow/diluted). Seeing others acting emotional repels me, but I try to not let it be obvious. My face is naturally without expression, unless I am masking to get through the day in front of others and for their ease (as it is inconvenient for me to do otherwise.) I feel that for me empathy is unnecessary, as I understand cognitively emotions and feelings of others by their countenance and actions. In observing, I can be there and assist them to help them feel better. In doing so, it is also to my benefit as I want to maintain long-term relationships for a healthier outcome in life. I don’t find this as being insincere, as this is the only way I know how to be. I don’t go out of my way to harm others and try to quiet any psychotic impulses that I might have had more of when I was younger. I am very self-aware and have better control as I get older/wiser. In my own way, I believe that I do care for others. I do my best to do right by others and am very protective of those closest to me. I do feel happiness, I feel excitement in the start of new relationships (which I would categorize as being in love), and I feel that love is a committed choice-except true love is unconditional and I can only foresee unconditional love going to one’s children (whether biological or adopted). I don’t find myself seeking the limelight or playing gaslighting games as those with NPD would do. I am confident in myself and find emotional games to be a bore. Sure, when I was younger I had acted extremely petty in relationships, but now that I’m older, my motivations for beneficial situations have changed overtime. I know what is right from wrong, I understand risk and consequences. I don’t have time for games. It is not worth my time.
I’m currently sitting on steps outside with the wind blowing through my hair as I type this. There is no emotion in me, except for savoring the wind and a feeling of stilling calmness. I feel okay and I am making productive plans for the next week in my mind. Yes, everything is calculated and my brain works differently. I am not harming anyone. I am okay being this way.

@@olgatrilogymartin3143 having empathy and being the made-up superhero that “empaths” claim to be are two different things.
As a sociopath , we do have a sense of empathy but our perspective and overwhelming analytic view on the world intervene so much that we can’t show a genuine care for things that people normally would care for.
It is interesting to see things from your POV. This topic is quite interesting to me and I don’t want to just stereotype one thing or another because I know not all people with ASPD are the same.
EDGYYYYYYY
I'm a psychopath (37/40 on the PCL-R) as far as I'm concerned psychopathy is an adaptive evolutionary strategy for a r-selected ecology, or fast life history strategy. Latest research seems to suggest that similar traits and behaviours are found in psychopathic chimpanzees as they are in psychopathic humans, similar genes seem to be the common link.
I'm not buying that 'sociopath' or ASPD is even related to psychopathy, but just a list of negative behaviours lumped together for the sake of convenience. The supposed link is 'factor 2 psychopathy', yet this manifests in women as borderline which shows flaws in the theory that it's connected to psychopathy, the idea that women can be psychopaths seems pretty ridiculous from an evolutionary perspective too.
Im also a sociopath, yes we do have a sense of empathy but pretty much only with my friends, I remember I time when I was younger (8 or 9)and my mums grandama died and everybody was very sad even my sisters who didn’t even know her and I just remember being very confused on why they where sad for the death of somebody they didnt even know, now looking back that was probally the first sign of me being a sociopath, idk about you but I get a lot of people saying that I can’t be a sociopath just because they have seen me be social around my friends and it annoys the heck out of me because people don’t seem to understand the fact that just because i am a sociopath doesn’t mean I show all my symptoms all the time
@@user-kd3gz1hl1e I believe sociopathy is a shell of psychopathy, because eventually your personality matures as you age and you finally have control over your emotions you will inevitably reach a point when empathy is immensely weak and you disregard even the things you were vulnerable to which can be dangerous when you reach that point of psychopathy. Without the proper education or reasoning in yourself it can lead to bad situations which is why it is recommended to work out or do something productive before the shadow overcomes everything you have.
As a psychopath I can say that most of what was in the video is right but there are some points:
Sometimes we have empathy only to understand another person so we can use them to our advantage
Sometimes psychopaths are Not born, but are made
Overall this was a clear and good description of the two but you have to remember psychopaths and sociopaths can come in different ways and forms

So could you just pluck the sprout off of someone’s head AND what happens if you do?
In my experience, Sociopaths can sometimes have "exceptions". Limited people or pets they can feel empathy for, and still not be able to feel it for other people. I am close to one who often feels it for me, but legitimately struggles not to look at strangers as NPCs. In the 18 years I've known them, they've made legitimate progress in using logic to make empathetic observations and being kinder to people, but on bad days it's still a struggle. As the video said, they can have outbursts of anger an aggression and moments when their emotions are extremely muted or turned off entirely.
It mentions it in the video
I need to get a diagnosis now. This just kinda might confirm that I might be a sociopath (no edginess, I'm genuinely worried. I wanna be normal.)
1. I get outbursts suddenly.
2. I occasionally act kind, but occasionally I actually feel bad.
3. I have practically no empathy for strangers unless they are in situations like starving or terribly injured. I only have empathy for animals.
4. My mom sometimes complains because I suddenly stop talking or smiling mid conversation (I'm that guy who smiles to show that he is paying attention. At some points in time I just stare at them monotonously).
@@user-gp2rf3hn1f these arent enough if you ask me do you have any other symptoms like manupilation and do you feel guilt?

This video was very helpful.
Best explanation I’ve had
As someone who studies psychology and often writes stories about characters with various kinds of psychological conditions, this is so very helpful to me since I want to delectable characters as accurately as I possibly can.
Plus, psychology has always been a topic of interest to me. I actually hope to become a psychotherapist someday.
And you will achieve that goal! Keep holding on to your dreams
Good luck. I hope you will become one
that's what I want to do when I grow up too
Ooooh me too! I love writing characters and one of my characters has a tricky brain. Isn't it interesting to try to put yourself in the shoes of that mindset? That's what I love about character development. And I wish you luck on your endeavor!
You’re gonna get a psychotherapist someday. I believe in you (:
I’ve been called a sociopath before because I “don’t have any empathy.” But the truth of the matter is I learned to turn it off as a defense mechanism because I grew up with a highly manipulative/narcissistic/actually psychopathic parent. What are u supposed to do when the main authority over your life constantly manipulates ur emotions to use them against you? You learn to stop caring. You learn not to have any remorse for your actions. You do everything you can so that you don’t have to lose yourself to a monster.
I actually have a lot of empathy. I’m constantly putting myself into the shoes of others to relate/feel for them; but *allowing* myself to show those emotions is a whollle different story. I get sad when my friends are going through hard times and try to help in any way I can, I always want to help make other peoples lives easier because I know hard lives suck, I get worried about my dogs when they’re sick.
That being said, when I get a sense that someone is doing something manipulative (especially towards me) I shut it all down. They don’t get my empathy. They don’t get to have any party of my emotions. Life is too short to go through that, again.
The only issue I have is sometimes when I warn a friend “I think that guy is manipulative,” (and they don’t listen) they inevitably end up getting hurt (every time) by the person I warned them about and when they come to me crying about it-
I instinctively read it as ‘they’re trying to manipulating me. I warned them and they still did it anyway and now they’re using their tears to get a reaction out of me. Don’t give it to them.’ So my empathy shuts off (I can’t control it).
It leads to situations where my friend is just there crying and all I can do is stand there without any emotion. (And a little irritated at them for making me unable to use empathy to console them in this situation, because I warned them in the first place/before the bad events even happened.)
This has happened *multiple* times and I always hate it.
Wow, thank you for sharing! I find your comment particularly interesting because even though you're a sociopath (did you get yourself diagnosed with ASPD or is this just speculation? Sorry if I seem impertinent, no need to answer if you don't want to), you still have empathy and remorse. What really amazes me is how you can turn it off and on depending on the situation, just like a switch, i didn't know that it was possible.
And yes, unfortunately empathy can be weaponized against people, as I said in an earlier comment. I find pretty sad that the majority of people doesn't seem to understand that (having empathy doesn't make a person automatically good). For people with this disorder it's just a coping mechanism, that's all.
Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue
@@martinasignorelli2932 I don't really think he/she had a choice in 'turning it off' or not.
very well said.
@@martinasignorelli2932 I know for a fact that, in high stress situations, my father can turn his emotions "off". His career in the military messed him up, both physically, and psychologically. Both seeing people being blown up, and as the medic, helping them, it was a learned response to ensure that he can complete his task without his emotions holding him down. He can still form attachments to others, and it's not a difficult thing for him, but when an infant had cancer, his co-workers know who to call.
In a similar regard, but to a FAR less extent, I too can turn my emotions "off". Just a few weeks ago, when I got into an argument with my mother at school, (it was about after school activities) and when I realized she wouldn't listen, I shut down. Kids literally asked if I stopped taking antidepressants. (no, I'm not depressed) I had absolutely zero control, and it felt absolutely horrible. But just like with my dad, I can, and still do form emotional attachments.
Excluding the second part, that is actually a decent "skill" to have.
the art legit makes me want to see a movie by the channel about some sort of apathetic organization ready to do whatever it takes to defy death and achieve immortality
ok now i think i had that "Friend" who was a sociopathic narcisstic psychopath. thank you !😊
What would you say is the difference between sociopathy and psychopathy? Nature vs nurture? Also, please read our disclaimer too in the description.
ok
It’s very cool
Brilliant
sociopath dont care at all but psychopath pretend to care
Hi Psych2Go!
Although this is video explain the difference very well it has to be said that not all psychopaths are smart and not all sociopaths are impulsive, high functioning sociopaths can be very similar to psychopaths
Also, psychopaths can feel everything but empathy and guilt but their feelings are turned down
True. The reverse is also true, psychopaths with low intelligence lack the skill for their typical manipulative and calculated behavior and decide their actions on the spur of the moment, so their can hardly be told apart from sociopaths by their behavior.
makes since when you see someone hurting another person, the difference would be WHY someone is hurting the other person, are they mad? Or Do they have something they want?
It depends
Agree
Good to know im a mix of both this will help later on hopefully
So I'm a sociopath? I better not tell any of my friends
As a sociopath myself, I can agree to all that’s been stated in this video. It’s easy to hate the world around you when you don’t actually want to but at the same time its hard to not hate it. Only times we don’t hate it and want to make it better is for those in the same situations as us. We know what its like to be a sociopath and we don’t want people to suffer our fate. Always make someone’s life better, even if yours wasn’t the normal one you wished you had.

Looking at the first throne scene made me want to propose a reimagined version of it:
Imagine a still frame with the two wing thrones pointing slightly more forward.
Now, imagine the psychopath being aloof and reclining in the throne, resting their cheek in their hand and crossing one leg over the other while smiling a sadistic smile and bearing a predatory glint in their eye as they stare down the camera.
Next, imagine the sociopath being stoic and mildly disgruntled, sitting hunched forward with their fingers bridged over the pommel of a sword, a strong, scowling frown and furrowed brows glaring at the camera as though judging the viewer for their choices in life.
Finally, imagine the middle one, the crown sovereign, the dark window into the soul of humanity, somewhat taciturn, sitting straight up with one leg crossed over the other and resting their chin on their balled hand as a shadow casts over their face, a look of pessimistic pondering in their eyes as they look at the camera with disinterest.
When you imagine it like that, don't you think it'd make a sick album cover?

My friend has ASPD, they rarely understand emotions and it causes them to get scared and shut down; she does fake them but I can understand human emotions so they always ask me how it's normal to react, it's been an odd few years before I began to understand them and been helping them get the help They wanted or felt was needed and she's abut more bubbly and cheerfulbut only around those she cares about. The things said about those with ASPD scared me at times before I met her and began to understand that not all of them are the same, not all are violent but can be short tempered for one example so let's not categories them all as the same. 🐂
I feel like people often say that the best thing to do with people who suffer from aspd (and cluster b personality disorders I general) is to just avoid them because they are "apathetic sadistic predators" when that's not true.
People with these personality disorders tend to have a fear of being abandoned or lonely or isolated. I have an in law who suffer from bpd and also doesn't have empathy, a trait that is common amongst cluster b personality disorders from what I've seen. But not having empathy doesn't mean you have a disregard for people's feelings and behave maliciously towards others, it means that you struggle to read other people's emotions and understand how they are feeling and why.
These people don't need to be isolated, they need care and support from others and someone to teach them how to read emotions and how to appropriately react to them. They are often victims of trauma such as abuse too and I feel like people forget that. They aren't monster just people who have suffered and are suffering and need help just like any other person with a mental illness/disorder.

Hi, I am a diagnosed psychopath.
I live in the American Gardens Building on West 81st Street on the 11th floor. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea, some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
Well, I have both psychopathy and sociopath tendencies, due to my Asperger and autism spectrum. When I was diagnosed as a child, I tested positive for both of these. I just hid the symptoms, and try to live a normal life and just blend in into the background. The only time I'm truly myself, is when I'm around animals. Unlike humans, they don't judge me, and they surely don't talk bad about me either. It's basically unconditional love, as long as you show them unconditional love. There is no scheming or planning to stab you behind the back.

I feel like I have less severe symptoms of both. I usually am not a psychopath, but I will sometimes be very methodical with my revenge plans, while other times, if I have been bullied just a little too much, I will lash out with little control. I do believe that this the reason for both is my bad school and classmates, who will find every chance to single me out and bully me to the point of physical harm. My school just sucks. And, like a psychopath, I tend to have little to no emotion and my face is frozen in a constant slight frown. Is this ok? I don't really know anymore. I just have a resting B**** face I think.
Also if you are concerned to have these mental disorders or a suspicion just get a diagnosis. Don't just sit there and think "omg me". That move is not it, get professional help. I'm genuinely sick of people saying "lol I'm both" or "guess I'm (insert one of them). It makes it harder for us to be taken serious. You don't know how hard it is to live with it how many times I got into fights or people got mad at me because I didn't gave them the reaction they wanted because I couldn't do that. It's not nice to know that every person thinks your a cold blooded machine that could snap at any moment. It's extremely upsetting and disrespectful towards us
Anyway
It's really nice to see that the actual definition is also used makes me really happy. As a side note for anyone who falls into the sociopath category and still has problems to understand feelings, same but I learned a few tricks through my live and I'd would like to share it.
-ask every time in an important and emotional situation to explain their feelings as best as they could. Make them use as many words to describe their situation.
-try to imagine yourself in the situation or try to finde a situation you were in that is very similar to that one.
-help them calm down and make the situation more of a analytical one. I often need time for myself to think what just happend how and why they feel like that. If the moment is way to emotional I can't think right and it makes the whole thing less understandable. Mabey it's the same for you.
-try to explain you own feelings too and tell then that you need time off to cool down. Your own anger makes it only worse and tbh everyone needs to use this tip. Take time off of this moment do something enjoyable and relaxing and come back with a clear mind. Communicate as best as possible to the other. Communication is key
Hope it can help
This really helps, to see it how the would see the things. I do love that the person I love also tries to be more empathic even though of what he woukd just naturally do. He is highly functional where there are days harder than others but I see whit this how I can be more helpful. Thank you for posting this.

This video is helpfulness by a spotting behavior and how they are different, but from what is said it kinda shows me on why people have called me a sociopath. This is kinda related to what I do, and actually could be reasons I am unable to have long lasting relationships, or feel empathy for certain things, and other things not. Also why I may lash out on someone, or hate them deeply and kinda make it clear.
Thanks for your videos
ok so Zuko is a sociopath while Azula is a psychopath, got it. (atla reference)
I think Zuko was more of a broken, abused, closed off and depressed teenager with circumstances that made him seem like a sociopath, than an actual sociopath. He did horrible things to gain his fathers love, a father who burned his face and banished him. He also showed alot of empathy from early episodes, not just in certain situations.
Azula checks off as a psychopath due to nurture and possible nature. Her dad was a psychopath and a jerk. She believed her mom hated her. Azula also fits nearly every box on the psychopath checklist, if not all of them.
I actually don’t find Zuko a sociopath. He did all those horrible things bc he yearns for his fathers love. I don’t really see sociopathic tendencies in him aswell.
@@KarmaLeto good point :]

That's deep
Ok, I'm pretty sure one of my relatives had ASPD and was specifically a psychopath. A non-diagnosed one, since there's no way he would've ever gone to a psychologist to be judged and labeled with a "disability" as he'd call it. Seeing himself as flawless, he probably even pitied non-psychopaths and saw them as mentally weak for having empathy. He was very high-functioning and successful in most aspects of life. He never really showed much anger because he didn't care enough about other people's opinions/feeling to get angry. He would just laugh at you before underhandedly screwing you over somehow
He might have had some narcissistic traits
@@frogonthebikeheh Yeah, people with ASPD do have a lot of narcissistic traits
@@spookeymo Yeah, and some even are narcissits too. It's because ASPD alone is characterized by the individual usually being center of its own universe.
@@CordayDatzTuff Ironically, a psychopath and/or narcissist might argue that they _are_ the ultimate perfect being
@@Rey_Palpatine Because that's true, but the price to pay for that is too high
I love watching things I already know
I love psychology! And why did some comments hide?
