This is Why You're Attracted to Psychopaths
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
A video commentary/deep dive into the attraction/fascination into male "psychopathic" characters in various cinematic universes, what makes them appealing to us, and the introspective mind to use this attraction to explore shadow parts buried within the unconscious. I realise now that I may have used the incorrect term to describe the majority of these characters. Nevertheless, they have "psych...

This video was turned from a 20 minute long rant about how sad I am into something inspiring (I hope). Over the past 3 months since first starting this content creation thing, there have been extreme highs during my first month (January) and extreme lows during this past month (March). I now find myself with newfound clarity and excitement to what I actually want to make on this channel and whe...

singing through my december pain
Просмотров 748 месяцев назад
this song has been my favorite song for around 4 years and encapsulates emotions that are indescribable for me. a few themes that have come up during this month consist of: - loss - loneliness and not belonging - isolation - lack of identity - relationship issues although it has been a very sad month for me and I have endured the worst pain in my whole existence thus far, I have learnt so much....
Great video :)
thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This reminds me of the difference between Egoism and Objectivism, objectivism values both the self and production where as Egoism values but the self. Objectivism tends to lead to a hyperfixation of maximizing production as a result.
Ooo that's super interesting! Thank you for this perspective :)
Women, and anyone attracted to men, apparently just can't resist the two fold, reality-defying punch of a hot actor who isn't a psychopath playing one on TV. Great training for the real world where the psychopath desperately wants you to think they are hotter than they actually are and to ignore their behavior as having any relevance to your decision to keep spending time around them, vulnerably.

Very good analysis! I respect this a lot. The 'need to understand' and 'morbid curiosity' as well as being challenged to confront our perspectives on the world is very relatable. I also tend to like some of the most unhinged characters.
Hey, thank you so much! I appreciate the positive feedback. Haha me too, they're always so captivating and relatable for sure.
this doesn't explain why the hero's journey is only applied to men, and thus the hope for salvation only arriving through the anima (the woman). but the whole jungian concept of anima/animus in relation to sex and gender is obviously schewed by patriarchal and femmephobic ideals, anyway. if it's about the allure of the unknown, surely this curiousity should also be applied to men. and yet most men seem to be outwardly hateful of femininity (even if they seek it out and are seemingly attracted to it). it doesn't translate into the same humanising admiration (the search for what's inside). i just think there has to be a deeper analysis of not only the philosphical/biological imperatives at play, but also the obvious fact that women have been socialised for generations to fawn before dangerous men, in order to survive.
hey Michelle, thank you so much your interesting insight. I will definitely look into this more. I am relatively new to these concepts so I would love to dig deeper and maybe do a part 2 or a different video on similar themes! :)
There is a saying that women date Batman but marry Superman: Damaged people are more interesting, but boring people are more stable.
I see what you're saying. At the same time, I believe we each have a desire for chaos and disorder when things become too harmonious. It's not necessarily "boring" people which are stable, but I think we must re-learn and re-programme our core beliefs to desire the ideal people for us and create a healthy chaos within that relationship.
This video got recommended to me and now I see why. Your analysis is well-written with deeper intention behind it. I don't see many people your age who are more thoughtful and perceptive, it's nice to see it. Your difference stands out. You connected well all segments with the main topic and possible reasons behind it. I just have to correct you on one thing. There is no such thing as someone being a diagnosed psychopath/sociopath. It's officially called ASPD for antisocial personality disorder. Despite the nature of the human brain to put labels on things and organize them, it's interesting how when someone is behaving out of norm, higher then usual and up, they are labeled as "crazy" or "psychopathic". Such people are not crazy at all, they know very well what they're doing. Another paradox where human beings tend to enjoy such characters in media for any of the already mentioned reasons, but in real life they can't or don't want to grasp that such people exist. Not really as media portrays them, but they still do. With or without a disorder to call for. In fiction, there is a safe wall that separates "normal" people from "them". They can watch and observe from a safe space in full curiosity. In real life, they are dehumanized and hunted down, even when they don't do anything but just exist. Just a mere existence is enough to set normal people off in any way. I'm also wondering about what you mentioned at the end, how people might be supressing their nature. Do you mean all of them or some? What were you alluding to? If you take out fiction, what do you think of such people in real life? Sorry for the long comment. It's an interesting topic and your video was worth a comment and discussion.
hey! thank you so much for your detailed comment/feedback. I will be working towards another video going into these psychoanalytical concepts/niche explorations further. you have given me some great ideas for analysis! :)
I am sociopathic in real life, diagnosed one with ASPD, schizoid by age 26 by 2 licensed psychologist and a lot people calling me ‘’deranged’’ when my mask slips. In my opinion girls should be little bit crazy too not like me though but little bit crazy, it’s more fun. But don’t be shocked when I expose my sadistic nature…Thanks for the video.
Sam Vaknin only covered this same topic a while ago. You like to lift information.
i’ve always likes guys that are just a little bit deranged, not complete psychopaths but definitely not sane, best case scenario i like guys like eddie from stranger things, weird and maybe crazy but not in a dangerous way
Nice!
This video was really interesting, worth noting and remembering! Loved to see more :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your support :)

Maca bree? Is macabre pronounced differently in the UK? (Only guessing, as you sound British.) *Didn't want to leave just that...i found the entire essay insightful and well-written. You have some good thoughts and know how to put them together. I have an English degree but only write for myself now, mini essays. I was listening while, ironically, coloring in a coloring book (with my 300 sharpies) as i do when i flip around youtube looking for something engaging. I subbed, and I'll be back to check out the rest of your content. (One more thing: i used to have a little dog named Honey Bee, and i have "Bee" tattooed on my back, on my shoulder blade. Its the only tattoo i got in jail, years ago.)
thank you so much, this was a fun and unique comment! i'm glad you enjoyed and your dog sounded real sweet :) also yes i have no idea how you say macabre, i am British indeed.
From the UK, most people say mac-a-bra. Haven't heard this pronunciation before
Its also as simple as those leading bad guy roles are played by most attractive men ever. Not over complicated.
I think it’s more nuanced than that. Ever heard of attachment theory?
i made that joke at the end!
As somebody who doesn't really care about sex, that's not all that there is to it. The attractive normal guy is way less interesting to me
@@Jaguarkralle1 I wasnt saying the attraction to psychopathy and shadow is not a thing on its own, i was just saying those leading movie roles are also played by attractive men which adds a big part to the argument, thats all
@@Bastet32 Yeah that's definitely true
I suggest you read ASOIAF cause it's sad when you talk about the show characters like they're real. Jaime was never evil; only reviled for his finest, most noble act. As much as I hate to admit it, his attack on Bran was justified, given the time period, the feudal system they live in, general child mortality and protecting his own (one grandfather. one grandmother) kids.
i really want to read it! i've heard it's very different to the show. i love hearing your opinion, i agree however i think we only see the actual value that came seasons later. my point was that in the moment he was depicted as a dishonourable man and no not "evil", but as we see his journey and his reasons to do what he does "for love", we are able to empathise more with him. except i really did not like his arc in the final season lol
@@beth003 DavidReadsAsoiaf has a decent reading. I listen to it a lot. I do like Jaime charging Drogon and Danny in the caravan schene in season 7, i believe, with only one hand. Too bad that he lives. Season 8 was a blank check for D&D, they had no incentive to do anything of worth. I personally only made it about five minutes into the first episode of season 8 and i lost all interest. I'm largely not a fan of the show. and dont get me started on the new star wars movies. it's ridiculous.
Maybe not evil, but definitely very, very morally corrupt. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Jamie as a character, but I wouldn’t say he’s “noble” or his actions are necessarily “justified”. I don’t think it matters how he killed Aerys Bc he was a cruel tyrant, but I also don’t think his intentions were 100% noble, I think 90% of his motivation for killing him was self-interest and maybe the other 10% to save everyone else a horrible fate. Acting in your own self-interest is not why I think he’s morally corrupt, especially given the setting/environment. So things like attempting to kill Bran (and effectively crippling him), killing Olenna Tyrell, killing Ned’s men in the street, the slaughter at Highgarden, everything with the wildfire, carrying out the wills of Cersei/Tywin/Jeoffrey you could argue are understandable (not justified, but understandable) in regards to self-preservation and protecting his family, things he maybe didn’t want to do but felt he had to do. This would be enough imo to prove at the very least that he is not a good person. Here’s why I think he’s a little worse than just not a good person: - He kills his cousin for little reason or care. - He didn’t try to to be a role model/mentor for his children, even as an uncle and not the father he was, never tried to correct Jeoffrey’s behavior or Cersei’s enabling - He sticks with Cersei after everything she does including trying to kill their brother - He acts flippant and reckless when it comes to being caught w Cersei, saying he’ll kill Robert or Ned if they are caught and leading to him “having to” try to kill Bran - He is happy for his brother for having a literal child-bride - He says he not only wants to marry Cersei, but secure a pure bloodline like the Targaryens by marrying his niece/daughter to his cruel and psychopathic nephew/son - He consistently puts himself and Cersei in compromising positions against her discretion and at times against her will. - ^^ He raped Cersei at least once, arguable more than once if you count her telling him “no” and him ignoring her even if she “gives in”. - ^^ He raped Cersei at their son’s wake, next to his corpse...... These are all things he’s said or done that weren’t “necessary evils”, just Jamie being Jamie - a morally corrupt person. But I mean, most of the characters in the series are and their flaws make them feel more real.
I loved this video! I've noticed I'm more suspectable to "falling in love" to this trope in anime characters, likely due to a greater suspension of disbelief compared to seeing a real actor, who reflects my humanity and makes me realize what I'm feeling.
ahhh interesting, maybe you are more attracted to the fantasy elements, i have the opposite of that as i relate less to their characters. although i used to love ash from pokemon when i was little LOL
I feel that with fictional characters in general. I could never understand how some women actually fall for real life serial killers like Ted Bundy etc cause that's just atrocious. But when it comes to fictional degenerates... count me in 😏😂
It reflects your humanity and you are scared to look into it. With fantasy, no matter how much immersed, you know that it's not real. While with realism, it makes you wanna question everything and people want to avoid that.
I'm sorry for not being eloquent but all I have to say is that I enjoyed this video greatly as I find the subject matter interesting and your way of exploring it and explaining it engaging and entertaining. Thanks!
thank you so much for your support! I am glad you found it helpful :) what other topics would you be interested in learning about?
@@beth003 Frankly idk, but this video is by far my favorite one of yours so maybe something similar?? anyway i am happy with whatever u talk about so do what u like :)
Really curious video, went so much deeper than I expected
Hi. I have discovered your medium blog posts about 2 months ago and have been following up on new posts ever since. I am really interested in understanding how and why we humans do things the way we do them. I believe understanding this is necessary to make the world a better place for all of us. Your blog posts have been very helpful in reflecting on myself and understanding why I have certain believes or opinions and how to move things in the right direction. Please know that your ideas and knowledge is getting out there and is helping people to become the best version of themselves (atleast for me its working). Thank you.
hey, thank you so much, truly. this is very meaningful to me. it makes me joyous knowing that you are gaining some insight and value. all feedback or suggestions are welcome! this is what keeps me going and i won't stop trying until i die :)
This was a wonderful, clean presentation. I think this will apply to a wide range of personalities.
aw thank you for your warm feedback! I appreciate it a lot and I hope you come back for more videos :)
Is this AI narration on top of AI illustrations? Yeesh....
nope! my own thoughts and opinions condensed into a script where I feel like was most valuable! only AI illustrations 😊
Ah. I apologize. Your voice is very smooth... Maybe a bit too uninflected? @@beth003

5:09 saving a timestamp for myself so I can watch this when I wake up. Sadly I was just about to go to sleep. Seems like an interesting and important topic, I really like the slide style 🙏
aw wow! thank you so much, that is very sweet. i hope you rested up goooood :) let me know what you thought of it, i would love to know!
I love how you bring 3 new characters I'm not aware of and dive into their personal journey and how we can learn from them. I'll surely be looking into these films and shows. Subscribed for more content like this in the future ☺️.
thank you so much for your support and feedback :) I'm very happy that you are inspired to watch them!
Contradiction keeps me centered. Nothing fuels my zest for life.

I'm quite optimistic! I'm enjoying my little slice of nothing!@@beth003
Love the introspective and spiritual message, self-love/self-empowerment is debatably the most important thing in life that’ll not only benefit oneself but also those around us!
aw yes thank you so much! I love to see that you are a fellow essayist, I will peep your channel :)
this was so lovely to watch!!🩷
yay! thank you :)

ah i am soryr you feel that way! what parts were you confused about? i do a nice summary/some takeaways at the end if that helps. i discuss some philosophical concepts that connected with me in 3 different films and the key takeaways i found helped me as a young person trying to find meaning in this world

Great work! I always felt the ending of her pointed towards unconditional love... love this type of movies with not completely obvious meanings that really click in your feelings... you put them into words so well... thank you! ☺
awe thank you :) ooo I did not think about the film in that way - I love the idea of unconditional love between friends; most romance movies end with a romantic ending, but I loved the approach they took with it! I really love interpreting films and discussing them with people too! So much to talk about 😁

aw hey girl, thank you so much! I think it will I am feeling very positive and hopeful for the new year ❤ I wish you the utmost joy and happiness for 2024 too :)
Wonderful city! But, how immensely touched I felt by your video, I could never describe. I'm in brazil, so far away from any of these places, but even though, I kind of felt like instantaneously connected, somehow. I really can't describe this feeling. It is as if it had raised a kind of nostalgia from times I'd never lived, a intense notion of sadness, maybe even sorrow... Maybe it is about this particular time in my country, in the world as a whole... Don't know, maybe I'll never will Anyways, thanks for sharing it, it was really beautiful and I sure it was a amazing day with your friends Peace for all, thanks for reading... I hope it made any sense, at least
wow this is such a sweet message, thank you so much. i’m so glad it had some impact on you. yes it was indeed a very special time, very dreamy :)
What a beautiful city
