    the governor was a psychopath. Negan knows he has to act this way to maintain his image and respect so that his followers, even the ones he forces to follow, follow the rules and maintain order in his society that is in a post apocalyptic society. he hates rape, feels bad for Carl after he makes fun of him, and I actually believe he does feel sorry for the group but he has to hold truth to his rules so that there is order. honestly, you can probably rate anyone with any bit of leadership ability as a psychopath.

      In order to want to lead other humans you have to be a little crazy.

    Narcissism and psychopathy are different even though they have overshadowed symptoms. Negan is a narcissist with anti social tendencies. His character arc proves this.

    Negan isn't a pathological liar...at best I'd say he's a psycopath 2.0

    This is such a good video! Enjoyed it very much. Negan's my fave character and it was interesting seeing you go through the list with him.

    I feel like he cares too much to be a psychopath, the governed however? Absolutely

    Could it be that Negan is more of a Sociopath than a Psychopath?

      Meryl would be a better example of a Sociopath. They are very disorganized, can't maintain relationships, employment or housing and have erratic outbreaks of violence that are totally unplanned. This is not Negan.

      @James Irving actualy no, the sociopath are more organised and also, I would not say that they are aware of good and evil, but they have a certain code of conduct, like negan who does not tolerate sexual crimes.

    I'm about to write a paper on a fictional character and the DSM-5. Negan or The Governor are at the top of my list for narcissistic personality disorder.

    From what I know psychopathy is inherited, psychopaths are born. Sociopathy on the other hand is developed through environmental factors. If anything, Negan isn't a psychopath.

    I think about 4-5 of those 1s or 2s should be changed or 0s or 1s. Great video though, It's a good analyzation of the character, but I disagree that he's a psychopath

  • @dambreaker

    With the data that is unknown about Negan's past, hypothetically, if you were to either assume or just go ahead and just add them back as +2... That's 32/40. And that is a major psychological problem.

    Psychopathy can be today easily identified by computer tomography of brain. Its a pitty, that people dont need CT to became member of government or politics spectrum today.

    Completely false understanding of the story.
    Negan is anything else, but not psychopath according to definition showed in this video ( is a fictional character, but ...)
    He was high inteligent and had a very good understanding of society psychology.
    He has a well defined process (methodology) of steps to gain controll of new groups of people:
    0. DONT KILL ALL - your goal is make submissive servant, people are capital, people are resources, bring food etc.
    1. step - take their weapons away
    2. step - identify leader of the group ( because in the group is already a controll structure established !!! so use it )
    Rule Nr. 1 - do not kill the leader ! Subdue leader - automatic you have controll over the whole group - this is the goal.
    3. step - identify leaders loved persons ( which can be used for blackmail the leader of the group )
    Rule Nr. 2 - do not kill the leaders loved persons ( because doing it you dont have nothing to blackmail leader, and ! leader would deny submissive behaviour )
    4. step - identify threatining characters, which is not possible to dominate upon (these must be killed as first - Abraham, Glenn)
    5. MAKE A BIG BIG SPECTACULAR SHOW OF VIOLENCE BY KILLING THREATENING PERSON(-S) SLOWLY AND HORRIFICALLY TO MAKE DEEP EMOTIONAL IMPRESSION WITH A LOT OF BLAH BLAH BLAH
    6. Check if the leader is submissive ( all others are submissive to leader, the whole group hierarchy is submissive to leader, so with submissivity of leader all are submissive, and if not, leader will take care of it)
    7. If yes (leader is submissive and will lead the group for you), the goal of subdue the new group is done
    8. IF NOT, repeat step 5. and make it MORE violent and horrific
    9. After the group is submissive ( which means leader) give him orders to pay taxes and to obey ... you have your new slaves - congratulations
    He didnt kill Rick, didnt kill Carl .... because of logic above. He killed the senators son, because he protected leadership of Rick in the submissive group, he wanted Ricks leadership to sustain to hold the controll over the group. So he didnt kill the Carl too or do harm to him for the same reason.
    He was a perfect actor ( the violance was allways a show, theatralic as possible - to put fear deep into submissives)
    Do you really think that our todays world is functioning in different way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then you never used your brain in this direction.
    The greatest groups in our reality are called states and are organized in the same way as in TWD.
    Citizens are of 2 categories.
    Citizen who is controlled and is submissive. Citizens which belongs to the state hierarchy and who controlls and dominate upon the first category.
    Police are "bullies". To force obedience.
    Army are "murders". To force obedience of other groups or protect the group from other groups.
    Politics are "BLAH BLAH" of the Negan. ( "fake gilty" - first defensive line of for real powermen in shadows )
    Rich people... well known persons ( "fake gilty" - second defensive line for real powermen in shadows )
    Chaos and lies in media and fake public intentions ( obfuscation for real powermen in shadows )
    ??? Probably some more defensive lines, but mostly fogging of lies and rumors ....
    And at least .... Unknown real group of powermen in shadow... never known for public for a logical good reason.
    I dont like Negan, first time I saw TWD, I was shocked, disgussed to the deepest ... but in this time I did not really understand the human society. This came after I read book about "Jacob Fugger" life in 15th century and the 15th century history.... I have got it how the people work. I am idealist and it is hard to take the whole variety of characters in the real world, how they really are, because "how they can be like this...". But ... I had to accept the reality. After this book I understand the geopolitics and politics and groups dynamics and individuals ... I had to accept ( stoicism ).
    Accidentally I started to see TWD again ... and this time it was completely different view - I understood, it was not a chaotic violance story graduated in every new season ... it showed the human socity as it is.
    Negan is the "authoritative" society. Hierarchy build mainly on fear (violence is 80%, brainwashing 15%, competence 5%)
    Rick is the todays "democratic" society. Hierarchy build mainly on fake feeling of safety and fake feeling of freedom too ! ( violance 60%, brainwashing 20%, competence 20%)
    Society is allways build in the same way, only the %, partitioning is different...

    Negan is not a Psychopath by any meaningful definition. At best he is a Sociopath as Psychopaths are born by nature and Sociopaths are made by situations and nurture. And as we saw in here's Negan he was definitely nothing if not a empathy possessing person if there ever was one. In fact he goes through perhaps the most emotions and emotional trauma of any character on the show and is the most changed by it for the bad and then later for the good. He has character development that a Psychopath is simply not capable of.
    Also Polygyny is a legitimate form of marriage nor some sort of sexual deviance like pedophilia or rape.
    Having one wife that dies of cancer and having plural wives is not having many short term marriages. Serial divorce and remarriage is. Which ironically is seem as acceptable practice in America. 😄

      There is no such thing as genetic psychopathy. Psychopathy is still taken as a mental disorder by the medical/psychological fields.
