    I think these traits are a lot more common in the real world than we'd like to admit. I don't know if it's because of the rise of narcissists, or at the very least, narcissistic traits (our current culture is an amazing breeding ground for narcissism), or the actual prevalence of sociopaths, but I definitely see these patterns a lot, especially regarding relationships.

      I mean I had the same thought only a minute into a video, but for corporations. The systems we work for, we, “normal people”, “good people”, “moral people”, we let these kind of tricks and methods slide when it comes to marketing, design, politics… and we’re totally okay with that.
      And I’m not talking about impersonal objective systems at large for the benefit of most people…
      But public business practices that we teach each other and ourselves, for approaching a community or a member of the community, or a person who could bring worth to us or our organisation. The central concept is lying.
      And ask anyone about lying today. It’s irreducible to the “life” we’ve tied to our fate.
      It IS a conscious human choice that we are developing in human and societal evolution.
      The thing is, a few ages ago, a simple common man would not be so calculative. A royal elite might. An army general might. But not 80% of the human population.
      Whereas now, being calculative is preached and followed.

    Her videos on guilt have completely changed my life. It's the most valuable advice I've ever received. If I haven't done anything to feel guilty about, why should I feel guilty? I shouldn't! Anxiety has always been a constant in my life, but after taking her advice, I almost completely eliminated it. It dawned on me that the majority of my anxiety stems from feelings of guilt that I should never have felt in the first place. If I genuinely haven't done anything to feel guilty, then I have no reason to feel anxious. Kanika I can't thank you enough.

    i struggle with object permanence too. as someone with bpd, if you’re not around me, it quite literally is an.. ‘out of sight out of mind’ mentality. i think this is where a lot of my struggles with idealization & devaluation protrude. if you’re split as black, i hold this negative, all bad, demonized version of you (thats different from anger, that’s intense HATE.) on the other hand, if i’m around you, i feel guilty for ever thinking that way. when you’re gone, it’s back to the same negative thought loops. if you’re not around, how do i know you exist? it’s easy for me to hold onto this dark view of you, because i no longer hold feelings for you.
    this is over simplified & there’s much more to polarized thinking than this, but i think this is where a lot of my struggles come from with it.

      ​@@iUnderstandsuch an interesting question. I was diagnosed with BPD but I don't have issues with object permanence. Now, solipsism...I think mental illness/addiction anything of that nature is inherently selfish. I've suffered with both. But I worked very hard to overcome them not least because I could see how my loved ones were being taken down by MY issues too. I realised that if I wanted to have longevity in those relationships I had left (having lost many) I needed to work damn hard to heal myself. I could go deep into my thoughts on diagnoses (three psychiatrists diagnosed me with three different conditions despite my giving them.the same history - BPD, rapid cycle bipolar and adult ADD) but suffice it to say, I chose to ignore them and worked on what was it about my behaviour that was fucking up my life, what trauma had lead me to that behaviour and how I could reframe the trauma from an adult perspective. There was more to it than that oversimplification but you get the idea! There were times when I was selfish - that's a condition of simply being human not just being mental or addicted! - but I've always been pretty self aware so I was able to take responsibility for the shit-show my life became and heal. Not easy but I'm drug and alcohol free eight years and today, I do not meet the criteria for ANY of those things I was diagnosed with. So it's possible. But it won't happen if you're a selfish person. I believe that springs from self pity. I've had a shit life, I'm a victim, it's all about me me me. That mind-set keeps people sick. Anything is possible but how you choose to see life will determine if its possible for you. Perception is everything. I saw my trauma as teaching me. I had a life happen for me not too me mentality. But I'm bloody lucky I was able to see life in those shades of grey. I didn't always but....when people were leaving me in droves because I was a nightmare to be around, albeit a very unwell nightmare, I had to look at what the common denominator was. Me.
      BPD is a hideous thing to deal with and incredibly misunderstood even by professionals. So that can make you bloody selfish because you feel like it's you against everyone. But when your behaviour affects so many people and they leave you, you can't afford to be selfish, you have to somehow understand how it must be for other people to deal with you when you're in a BPD meltdown. My brother recorded me once. Seeing that was my turning point. Because how I was was horrific. Blimey, that was a long arse reply! 😅

    I am not a narc/sociopath, on the contrary, I am very empathic, but I totally cut out people who do not bring any value to my life. This is to protect myself of being drained and it is a learned skill. Every relationship must be an equal exchange of some kind of positive energy. However, I do have a friend who is still my friend since KG, and sometimes we do not speak for years. But when we do meet or talk - it is a mutual joy, she does have a place in my heart, reserved only for her, but we don't feel the need to chat every day/frequently, to keep the bond. Its just there. We can go about our everyday busy lives separately, and then meet once in a while. Apart from this and my closest family,I don't do unconditional love/friendship anymore and I do not just give and give without taking equally. I also learned to cut useless/negative/abusive people off with no remorse. And this made my life so much better.

    I really appreciate you doing these videos. I got a head injury and changed to be ASPD-adjacent in personality as an adult and the object permanence thing has been the HARDEST to accept because I did not have it with people before. (I was the opposite, I couldn't let anyone go). Any friends after the injury that I make feel just like surfaces or transactions. The ones from before the injury are still coded completely differently.
    Your thoughts actually don't seem strange to me, though a lot of people would find them unfamiliar or strange and I can relate to 50% of them. I have a radar for danger though while not finding your thoughts strange, so I am careful how close I get to people who can discard others because *I* never want to be discarded, but it's only about preserving myself.

  • @God-Was-Bored

    The transactional part of what you're saying makes perfect sense. If people allow "friends" in their lives who do nothing but bring them down, THEY have an issue they need to work out in therapy imo. I say you're normal in that respect. If people don't realize their relationships are transactional in that there has to be give and take, doing nice things, being there if things go wrong, uplifting each other, etc, then they're in denial over what relationships are in general.
    The rest of your vid is fascinating. As you can see from my channel name, I see boredom as an issue for us all. Sounds like you need really intense boredom relief as a sociopath. For us "normal" people, a walk or an interesting video will do. Thanks for sharing Kanika.

    The idea of a sociopath having a cognitive deficit not just of empathy, but also of object permanence, is really mind-expanding to me.
    Most of us will hold little emotionally-charged mental models of things in our minds, indefinitely. It's where "People don't remember you for what you say, they remember you for how you make them feel" comes from. It's what leads people to pedestalize others in early relationships, when the 'love drug' chemicals are coursing hard in their veins -- and what leads sociopaths to prey upon and feel disdain toward those partners who are idealizing them so naively.
    Interesting lesson, thank you.

    The other day I was reflecting on guilt.... I realized I can tune in or out of guilt (specially in the last couple of rough years). If I do something "wrong", usually by accident, I may or may not feel guilty, my though is "it's already done". But I try to be more aware so I don't do it again. I believe one can choose to be a good person.
    Of course meditating, helps to "vibrate" high, and in that case, being a good person comes more easily and naturally.

      Nope. They don't stay around and after 5 years almost everyone is a different person anyway. Because life changes people. The people you have been friends with at some point naturally don't even exist anymore. And you might even wish this to them because life isn't worth living without changes. Everyone needs to adapt in order to survive and whatever they might go through it changes them and may it be only that they become much happier. They will change so a long lasting relationship with the one and only "true friends" is just some thought or illuson that people need to feel existential safety or better to say to fight off existential angst.

    I think the same thing about other people not wanting me while in happy relationships. I think there is crossover between “high functioning” autism and psychopathy. I am a social chameleon and a masker. The autism I have is pervasive demand avoidance. I don’t really care about social hierarchies, but will blend in as to not be detected. I feel the only difference is the attachment thing I get easily attached. And I do feel a tremendous amount of guilt. But it’s on my own terms, and it’s not as much dependent on what society views as good or bad, except yes, my mother brings me a lot of shame.

    Very interesting to see you open up about being a sociopath. What I find conflicting is that you do have concerns about what your mother and father think of you, so there is that part of your personality or whatever you wanna call it that has that ability to care enough to be concerned about it.

      if i speak for myself (not diagnosed aspd but i have traits) your first attachments you make are your parents. typically, your first experiences with any sense of right and wrong, expectations, how to behave etc. are from your parents. your autonomy and realization of own wants and needs (beyond basic survival) doesn't really start to form until you're 2 years old. so when you grow up and for whatever reason develop without much empathy, a piece of you still has whatever your parents ''programmed'' inside of you, which, as a baby you NEEDED these people to survive. my parents are very different from me and i've had to do a lot of ''deprogramming'' to become someone that lines up with my own morals instead of theirs. but i can never fully lose what they put into me, because that's literally the foundation of who i am. i could see the same thing being true for kanika with her husband, saying that this is the first person she's genuinely had a real love connection with. a bond like that settles into your core and you put a piece of that person inside yourself. a random person at work or a karen at the gas station don't have that, so for someone without empathy that care is gone.

She can't conceptualize a future where things are done "or else." She doesn't think about or care about consequences.
      Try and imagine living without all of the internal controls, checks and balances, and taking others into account that a regular ol' neurotypical empathetic human relies on to guide them. How would you make decisions then?

    I'm a sociopath. I don't regard it as a "personality disorder". Sociopaths are psychologically superior against non-sociopathic beings. The fact of the matter is we are more capable because we are not limited by petty disadvantages such as pity, guilt or shame. Also, because of our narcissism the only "personality" people ever engage with has been built with great effort to be it's best version in respect to what given culture values, giving great sense of our self worth being put this well together & I expect no less from others in return. If society rewarded competition, standards, quality, power, pride than sociopathy would not be widely considered as a disorder & sociopaths would be considered champions of culture. We exist to be the best culture has to offer. Psychopaths are the weirdos...

      Well, everything is good, as long as you do not define youreself too much over your'e sociopathy. See: You need empathy to meet thoughtful and sane decisions. There is something much more interesting, than just beeing superior amongst other people, it's called passion. If you don't have a real passion in live that you are willing to fight for and you define youreself instead over your'e sociopathy, which consists of manipulating other people and distance youreself from others, by thinking you are something better you destroy not only the lives of people who would actually like you, but also youre own life because your'e thoughts will be, by defintion always driven by things like hate, rage and anger. That's just not a good basis to build a meaningful and passionate life. Besides that neither sociopath nor psychopaths in the end are very clever. Many of them end up alone in prison or getting addicted to drugs, because they see, that theyre behaviour leads to just nothing but chaos. They cannot control theyre impulses, because they literally hate other people and themselves and thats why they can't plan for the future. There are maybe some who are succesful in a way or have leading positions, but in the end, those people don't have a happy or fullfilling live, because they neglect empathy, so all that stays and they can define themselfes over is hate, anger and frustration... The really highly intelligent people are in most cases those, who have a healthy sense of empathy, because they know, that there value is not defined by how strong or resillient they are, but more about there interests and talents. If you are really a sociopath, I feel really sorry for you, because you have misunderstood some basic prinicples in live and you chose a horrible path for youreself.

    Thanks for the video Kanika, it helps me understand my bf a lot more. I love him but he uses his brain for weird things 😂 and his views on people and life always felt off to me. Like I’m a kind and considerate person who is more of an empath and I probably care a bit too much of what others think of me, and he is very much the opposite, at least when we started our friendship.
    I think we have taught each other valuable lessons and helped each other grow in stuff we aren’t good at. He taught me how to be more assertive and not worry or think about the future so much and focus on more in the present. I think he would say that I’ve helped him become a better planner (we both are good at planning but we both hate it lol) and more disciplined and taught him that having more empathy for people isn’t weakness.
    The thing about having a few close people is true; he LOVES his younger sister and it’s not surprising because she’s basically the female version of him, and he loves his younger brother too. He also respects his parents greatly and at least tries to not get into trouble for their sake.
    He said that he valued me and thinks I’m special which is why he enjoys spending time with me, but I think he is starting to be more open and I’m beginning to have more of a significance in his life. We have a similar background of sexual abuse and when he opened up to me about it and the car accident I was shocked because he’s a person who’s pretty much always calm, is super confident to a fault and doesn’t let anything worry him.
    He said he respected me a lot because he saw that I had been through a lot (referencing my people pleasing behavior) and said I had a strong character for not allowing bad people and unfortunate events to change who I am and how he looks up to me in that regard and he started spending less time around me because he didn’t want to hurt me and was afraid that I might actually become significant in his life and he wouldn’t know how to deal with that like omg 🥺🥹 I know he was telling the truth because he just started rambling and saying nonsense lmao but I understood what he was trying to say even though he couldn’t articulate it.
    It was something I needed because at the time I was struggling with my identity and I was questioning the point of being kind and being friendly and helping others when they just take advantage of me or treat me badly or differently based on how I look or treat me badly when they realise they can’t get what they want from me like a date or sex.
    My bf said to keep being myself because at some point being like him and being a sociopath is a choice that a person makes. It made me think of how when I was a preteen during the abuse and I was in the deepest depression of my life and I just hated everyone and was full of rage and hopelessness and my mom gave me a lecture about not throwing away what I know and not giving up. My parents and my bf are right because being kind and empathetic is one of my (many) strengths and it’s who I am; I should be proud of it and shouldn’t let other people or events change who I am.
    My dad taught me about the rucksack method; if you think of your life as a rucksack, you’re constantly adding stuff. So I don’t have to remove kindness. I just have to add something that helps me see who is adding value to my life, and a way to maintain my boundaries with others.

    I listened to a few of your videos. I do realize many people are not able to feel for whatever reason.
    So this leads me into what I see that would help you, and this is really slowing down, thinking about everything you do, everything you say, and thinking about how your actions would affect somebody in a logical sense, or how it will affect you. You will never most likely be able to feel empathy, but you are quite capable of slowing down, being more mindful, and creating thought patterns.
    When you create these thought patterns, at first, I know it'll be extremely difficult for you, but you are high functioning and quite capable of doing so. This will take up some of that empty feeling you feel inside, which will help you keep your boredom in check, because you will start understanding who you truly are, what you are becoming, and who you should be, meaning that you are taking care of yourself in a positive manner, and whether you care or not, how it affects others, it will affect them in a good way, making a more productive society, instead of a society that's going to collapse due to bad behavior.
    You can start practicing an imaginary situation and how you will handle the outcome. Meaning you can control yourself, and can use common sense in determining what path you will take, when the situation arises. So for example, when you talk about stealing, you can create some wild theft spree in your mind, and then break it down into details, and then look at the consequences to those actions, and rely on this as being your intuition or your compass, since you're not capable of empathy at the beginning of managing your sociopathic ways. Now when you do these things, it is extremely challenging for someone like you, but you will be able to develop a deeper sense of yourself, and as you go deeper within, through the practicing of these visualizations, you will be able to start feeling empathy because you are healing, you will become more intune with yourself. I would recommend you learn discipline with your thoughts, as you have learned discipline in other areas of your life. Create a scenario in your mind, and give yourself four different consequences to your actions, and then once you pick those consequence, go into depths of what that consequence really means, and then you will start to be able to escape the age that you got stuck in with the abuse that happened to you. You will begin to reverse this trauma your experiencing. You have to be very dedicated and disciplined, but your thoughts will change, and instead of relying on how you make somebody feel, you will begin to be able to rely on the common sense, allowing that to be your intuition. So I hope you will be able to start doing these things, and even share with your audience some of these critical thinking exercises you have done, and get down to the nitty gritty, the depths of the consequences, what those consequences will cause you, and then you will really understand why you don't want to do those things. You may not or for a very long time feel empathy, but you can understand the consequences you cause for somebody else due to your lack of a thought process, because of your impulsivity, and this is because you choose to get stuck where you're at from that trauma at the age you experienced this trauma. So once you think about a scenario of stealing, you can choose the outcome, such as you get arrested, you get away with it, you get caught, but you get off because you're being manipulating, you get caught and have severe consequences. After you pick one of those consequences, then you need to observe what the consequence does to you. So let's say you picked the scenario where you got caught and were released because of your manipulation. Then observe your reaction. Your reaction would probably be that you think you're all that and a bag of chips because you were able to maneuver yourself out of it, and then stop and look at the people surrounding you that you thought you duped. Then break down each one of those people's thoughts about you. You can say they loved you, whatever grandiosea idea you have in your head. Then take the next course of thought, and say okay, I already went over the grandioso idea, now it's time to go over what they think of me. After you have put that in the grandiosea idea, you go to the next thought process someone would have of you, which would be you have no integrity, you have low self-esteem, you don't care about anybody but yourself. Then you can pick another scenario, how the people who are watching you feel sorry for you, and hope you get help. Always pick four consequences or scenarios to the action you commit. As you work through these very detailed branches that stem off the tree from the root, then you will begin to see more clearly. Then you will start to develop critical thinking in the sense of being aware of how you affect people. It doesn't mean you will have empathy for them, it just means that you have to put more thought into the kind of person you truly want to become. This would be another question. In series of critical thinking components, you would need to do, so you could get to the right outcome of what you want to become, instead of saying I am a sociopath, and this is how I will always be, because that is a choice, and you can choose wiser decisions according to the manner of learning and characteristics you behold. So when I observe you, I think you're working on things, but you're quite content on showing people what a sociopath looks like and acts like in the sense of facial expressions, and the sense of your thought processes. I do think however you could also show the ability of how you are doing these things and see what it has to offer you, which will affect people in a positive manner.
    Emptiness is a form of shallowness, shallowness is a form of trauma, and trauma reveals the age that it happened at, and will lead you into the trauma you experienced, and help you face this trauma, so you can overcome this trauma, and start healing.
    So it's not about you feeling emotions for others or empathy and in the beginning, it might not come, but in most cases it will happen, empathy will begin, because the trauma has been healed. It's about developing common sense and critical thinking where you can heal. So don't in my opinion, just stop at presenting yourself as a sociopath and these are the things sociopathic people do. You need to step up your game. I do believe this is a great piece of advice that will help you. It's up to you if you want to do the work, just like exercising, just like anything else you put effort into, and you will find a whole different way of critical thinking, and through this process you will heal. You will become faster and faster at healing.
    This is true for anybody If they want to expand their ability with critical. A person doesn't have to be a sociopath, this is a great technique I use, and I am definitely not a sociopath. This Is how you start developing critical thinking, and seeing what the consequences are to your actions. Which I know you already see some of those things and you're careful because of the consequences. If you do these things, you will see advancement in your healing process. I'm not saying you will be healed of being a sociopath. I am saying that you will be able to heal childhood trauma, and manage your sociopathic ways, to the point where they're almost eradicated. This is a great method for people with autism to use, as well as anybody, when figuring out the right solution. It's all about your mind and your thought process, and how you can manage these connections in your brain, and regrow new connections. If you do these things, these practices everyday, you'll eventually want to do them with almost everything, and then you will be fast, move forward quickly, have great growth and development within this realm of being a sociopath, or for any person, who is needing to develop more critical thinking skills, so they can overcome challenges, depression, and so much more. More. Now I'm not saying medication, herbs, vitamins, and essential oils are not important, because they play a very significant part. I am saying this is one component that is very effective for those who are willing to do the mind work.

    Hmm I have the exact opposite problem. Actually I have many traits that are direct opposite of sociopaths. I'm too sensitive, considerate, obedient etc. So about permanence, I expect how I remember things that's how they are. Why would anything change? If I put my thing on that table yesterday or last week, surely it's on that table right now. If I went out with a girl to the movies last month or last year, surely she'd love to go out to the movies again. How I left things, is how they still are. I left some tea and perfume in my office drawer when I quit my job, then I rushed to process some documents, and apparently they were thrown out. How could someone do that to my expensive perfume? I left a motorcycle in the parking garage, and wasn't allowed to come pick it up during the pandemic. Later I came, it was thrown out by the govenrment, because I didn't come to pick it up. How could they do that to my vehicle? Stop touching my things!. Leave things be how they were!

    I understand the object permanence and transactional relationships. I don't have sociopathy, but there are comorbid symptoms there for me - and I would say I have a watered down version of both of these things. I can keep people in my life without them "in" my life, for years, decades, BUT - yes it is like they do not exist until they interact with me again. I also understand the transactional relationships, when I was a kid I would describe it as a "point system" - even though there are no actual points - but the "points" mean value or service to me. Friends and family are not all loved equally - they are loved based on how much I perceive them to love me - proven through the various love languages. Those who are of "more value" to me - receive more of my time, energy, and love than those with "lower value". I don't actually think this is abnormal, but maybe it's not as cut & dry as that for most people. I do see it as an exchange though, to receive my love - I need your love in return, the more you show me - the more I show you, pretty much. I do have my "favorite person" - my significant other & they are on their own level, and when someone has wronged me - they are completely dead to me - I will hold that grudge until the day I die. Something else that you didn't touch on that I also have a watered down version of - is the lack of a fear factor/low self-preservation. For example - I drive recklessly - that's something I have been working on un-training myself for years, because I don't have any sensation of fear or guilt in my driving - I WILL overtake your lane & you, as the other driver(s), had better let me or else we're both gonna die - and I don't feel anything about that. Or another driving one - a cop pulls me over - I just think "damn" and get my shit out - most people describe a "heart dropping" or "gut punch" feeling when this happens - and I don't get that feeling. I understand this is very common for sociopathy/psychopathy & that's something I have some version of as well. I think there's a lot of overlap with a lot of other things, but maybe to more or lesser degree.

    It's interesting how you are totally aware of your criminal tendencies and the fact that you don't want to disappoint the three people in your life that you actually care about helps you regulate those tendencies. From what I've read, that seems to be what marks the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath, who would not even care about what even people close to them thought.

    I think it's crucial to have a solid base that keeps you grounded-people who are close to you, whom you respect and don’t want to let down. These are the kinds of people who can influence even a psychopath to do good things, or at least not harm others, because not wanting to disappoint them helps to build principles in life. So, even if a psychopath can't feel love, they can still harness their other emotions to develop a kind of love for the person they respect and don't want to disappoint. Ultimately, love is the most powerful force in the universe, even for those who lack it.

    Antisocial personality disorder is evolutionarily advantageous in this modern society we have constructed.
    In a neo-capitalist society with a dog-eat-dog culture, affective empathy can be a real drawback; our economy rewards purely transaction social dispositions, just look at the modern business world.
    When I hear this person speak, I hear the thoughts of every successful business person in our culture: purely pragmatic, no time for useless emotions. Hate all you want, but this mindset is becoming more common, and it's only going to continue overtime.
    If you have affective empathy, study this person so you can learn how to spot them and not grow emotionally attached to them. If you don't have affective empathy, keep doing what you're doing.

      In times past when community and the welfare of the group was necessary for survival, a sociopath would've most likely been detrimental to the group as a whole.
