Hamsters are wonderful pets and the thought of anyone hurting or killing them is beyond my comprehension.
I have never had a hamster, but yes, just horrible. Cats seem common targets for these psychos, and I suspect that cats particularly are really good at clocking people. I never trust a person that a cat has issue with.
I get sick to my stomach every time i hear a story involving a hamster being used as a toy. They're pets, friends and buddies, not some fucking stress ball.
It’s the fact that they have essentially NO REAL WAY to defend themselves against a human that lets the psychopaths target them I assume
@@kaiknight9761yes. That makes it even more sad. Same with bunnies. Man. And cats. I love cats. This makes me feel so beyond sick and angry
@@kaiknight9761 I just wanted to say the fact that something is defenseless is often the primary point to "people" like that.
I think it was when I was little and my father would take me driving. He liked to do dangerous maneuvers and run red lights. The entire time he'd be gleefully screaming at me that we were gonna die. I believed him every time until I got older. I would just shut down and not react. He'd then usually end the drive by parking in the woods, walking me into the middle, and then telling me "I'm leaving you here and not coming back" again I believed him but never really reacted. He'd eventually come back at night. Honestly there's a lot more but we'd be here all day 😅
Please tell me you're no longer in contact with him. (HUG)
Your dad’s idea of ‘fun’ is the reason soap dispensers have a “NOT FOR INTERNAL USE.” Warning in bold letters.
Jeez that sounds terrifying, especially for a young child to go through. I hope you're away from him now.
I have no words.
Are you okay? Do you talk to a professional about this?
The lack of hamster respect is wild. Why are so many people disrespecting poor hamsters?
Reminds of an anime/show cartoon called "ERASED" Episode 11.
The teacher when he's little, he brought back home from school to "take care" and decided to put all the hamster in a jar with full of water.
Better just watch the rest.
Probably because they're tiny, cute fluff balls......
You should see what people do to monkeys
They're small, not difficult to get, and often gotten as 'starter' pets, so lots of kids have easy access
Bc realistically ppl lack power. Therefore, the only thing they can harm & not ever suffer repercussions from... Is mini mini sized beings. & So with that said, they still lack power. My guess, I don't need to harm little things to make me feel wever kind of reject loser crazy that is
While psychopaths aren’t by nature bad people, what makes them incredibly dangerous is the fact that they can be bad people with no regrets.
You can absolutely be friends with a psychopath… but it’s probably best to not get *too* close to them. Just to be safe.
The same goes for people with a Machiavellian personality, or tendencies. I’d argue they’re even worse than psychopaths.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, but if you start reading and don’t like it, then put that book back.
Saddistic psychopaths are the worst. Machiavellians are just competitive assholes
Knowing someone is a psychopath means that you are warned.
I feel bad for psychopaths:( at least they probably don't feel bad about being a psychopath or different than others at all
@@spiritsofwolves they feel superior and everyone else is dumb because they don’t have the balls to do unethical things and sacrifice their honor (according to one)
Just a small fun fact, people who work in things like doing surgeries or other jobs that are dealing with operating on an open living human or cadaver have socio and psychopathic tendencies more often than not, at least according to a study I can across some time ago if memory serves me right.
A lot of psychopaths can go completely unnoticed in society, and most of the time it's just the bad eggs floating to the top. Psychopaths may lack empathy, but in turn most of the time it is swapped for rationality. Morally, they might not care about someone, but rationally many (not all) will not go out of their way to do something unethical just for the heck of it because it wouldn't benefit them in the long run. Morally, they don't need an emotional friendship, but rationally they could use one as an alliance, spending time with each other so that they aren't bored or helping and getting helped in return. I absolutely agree with this comment still, you don't have to continue reading that book because you figure you already invested time and effort into reading that far. Worst case scenario, the ending might not be so pleasant. All I'm just trying to say with this comment is to lessen fear around psychopaths, but stay on your toes.
Jesus. That Barbie and Ken under-the-bed retrieval sounds like a low-level Jigsaw trap.
Like it would be the first “test” in those movies
(Is that not why they said “saw-esque” thirty times haha)
My jaw dropped at that one I was so shocked like what the actual fuck would have to be wrong with that child
reminds me of the needle trap with the junkie
Does it? I thought that was normal for siblings lmao
I've known too many psychopaths and sociopaths to list.
Some are family. Some were "friends," or acquaintances. One of them used to trespass in our yard to catch fish to TORTURE THEM TO DEATH.
... He'd crush them under his tennis shoe, gouge out their eyes with his thumbs. I told him to leave, that this wasn't his yard. Later, our cat vanished for several days, and crawled home half dead.
Neighborhood dogs turned up with spinal injuries, from somebody SWINGING THEM AROUND BY THEIR TAILS.
Later, he and two friends chased me several blocks late at night, ran my bike off the road, and gang stomped me, leaving me with brain damage.
How can I delete this information from my mind
Ew, that guy needs to get his eyes gouged and get his own medicine
Was the cat okay? Were you ok?
@@TrueChaosLord Bertha died within a few hours. She'd been drowned. Her fur was damp. I don't like thinking about what she went thru.
I had post-concussion syndrome, which really messed me up for a long time, because they didn't know much about it then.
Still don't.
The brain is a Black Box, and TBI is just as big a mystery.
@@LordMondegrene so answers are probably no for both
I dated one for 2 years. When it started to go sour, my goldfish brain finally started to connect the dots. This person had literally 2-3 thousand dollars worth of books that were all about teaching empathy. They were into yoga and spiritualism, and I just thought she taught some of it in her classes. Then, I started taking her classes. Realized she didn't even mention any of this stuff, let alone teach it. She was just teaching herself how to fake having empathy. Which is super scary because that means that she is aware that she lacks it and is masking. I ran real fast when I saw the big picture.
She could also have been trying to teach herself empathy. Especially if she was into yoga and spiritualism, sounds like she was desperately chasing something she knew she didn't have.
@weareallbornmad410 She was doing it as a facade. When the door closed, she was an awful hypocrite who didn't even believe. To quote her own words when I asked her what is the point of it all if she didn't live it? She said, " for some people, it enables them to keep being terrible". I ran. Fast.
@@wyeteepaleface9199idk man maybe she was really desperately trying. Because of the obvious stigma of how having empathy. But you may be right, could be a ploy. Who knows.
I dont see what’s wrong with that? As someone with low empathy, i’d like to learn it to be a better person
@@onthefridge-w7p You guys don't understand. OP wasn't saying she was teaching herself how to at least try to have empathy, she was only using it as a mask and she didn't practice any of that when they were behind closed doors. She's the type of person that family and friends would go "They couldn't have been a bad person, they were so nice and charming to me".
I see nothing wrong with anyone who has sociopathy or psychopathy who are aware of it and really are trying to learn how to have empathy or at least try to look like they do, because that isn't their fault they were made that way. I sympathize with all of them because I can imagine it being a real struggle. But trying to change and just pretending to try and change are two different things. By saying she was making and acting, OP is telling us she didn't really want to change, she only wanted to look good to other people outside of their relationship.
OMG, the stories about the cats and hamsters and other animals being tortured and murdered are so horrible. I can't begin to comprehend how someone could do that.
The first time I heard about crush videos, I got physically sick. It would take a psychopath to make them and a psychopath to watch them. That much hate for defenseless creatures - or even worse, no emotions at all - is beyond my imagination.

Mostly just morbid curiosity
They are sadist
No empathy for any Living thing
And not even humans.
@@tombraiserlaracroft7937 exactly, and without empathy there’s no limit to it
@@jaedynbarrier1146there is. law, societal approval, beneficial relationships. just because someone has the capability to hurt someone doesn’t mean they will. psychopaths are not the people who enjoy killing, but the people who would do it for gain. the ones who were abused in childhood are in fact more dangerous
When i realized my mother trafficked me at 2, tried to kill me at 6 weeks, resulted in my father's death when i was 10 weeks, murdered my pets and made me think it was because i "was psychic" and had dreams of them dieing not because she was killing them in the way i would cry to her about my nightmares...
I have a million things i can't say what was first. I realized at 41 my mother was not my best friend and was actually a manipulative monster.
I am terribly sorry you had to go through that you are a survivor 🥺🥺🥺🤍🤍
I pray your healing and that you went ZERO contact with her.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all that trauma! Sending love and well wishes your way!
Yes and she will be remembered as a great villian but itd rather she never be remembered at all
My friend’s boyfriend.
Before directly talking to him he was weird… he’s a compulsive liar. He genuinely tried to convince my friend that he was going to die of Crohn’s disease and that there was no treatment and that he was dying as he spoke. Of course, my friend FREAKED out crying to me and I had to comfort him and reassure him that his BF just was “Misinformed”. His boyfriend tried claiming he had a diagnosis but when he elaborated he did not, he just looked up the symptoms online.
I tried making friends with him but… right off the bat there was something extremely wrong. He kept sending me videos of animals being tortured and laughing at them… every single reaction video he sent to me was some form of animal abuse and it made me so severely uncomfortable, that I just snapped and told him to not talk to me again.
Of course, he cried about it to my friend who got pissed off at me and told me that I should have told him I was uncomfortable from the start (How do you expect me to be calm and collected when he sends me animal abuse??? That’s not something that’s even just an opinion of a joke, it’s legitimately disgusting morally). He forced me to apologize to him.
Eventually time passed and things were… decent I thought. We didn’t talk really, I was still extremely uncomfortable, but I didn’t exactly see any signs of him being a danger, even though I felt like something was deeply wrong.
Then my friend told me he SA’ed him, I desperately tried to tell him to get away from him but he refused to listen, and accepted his shitty apology.
His boyfriend faked a suicide attempt later on, claiming he was bleeding out and that he passed out. Yet, it took only 10 minutes for his “Deep Cut” to stop bleeding. I’ve had cat scratches that bleed for longer! Of course he had to do all this shit on call with my friend, and made him feel helpless.
Only recently did my friend ask me something about assault and I realized, that a very good portion of any of their sexual interactions were simply coerced assault. Excuse after excuse to convince my friend that he needed to do it. That his testosterone made him uncontrollable. It was so so fucked up.
And my friend still hasn’t left him, and it fucks me up inside.
call the police?
I was here. My best advice is to just be there for your friend. Have an open door policy for just him (not his bf) keep reminding him how loved he is by you.
Try to remind him who he is, and what he is worth.
I am lucky to be alive; the assaults you mentioned are concerning, as things usually get worse over time. If he assaults your friend and you have knowledge of this, invite your friend over and call the police!!!!
I pray to whatever deity is out there that you and your friend will be safe🙏🏼❤
your friend probably is being gaslighted by him, and will only notice he is dangerous when he feel his life is at risk. Sadly is how it works, no matter what people say, the victim is already caught in the manipulation, until the surviving insticts make them alert. I know it because I was in a similar situation, being manipulated until my '' gut feeling '' made me realize if I didn't got off I would be fucked.
Doesnt sound like a psychopath, sound's more of a really wrong in the head and toxic guy. We seen plenty of those types of people everyday, there's something really wrong with him but I dont see him as a psychopath at all.
@@PrincessMeowicham
I second this, OP, and it nearly exactly mirrors what I was going to say. Just be there for your friend and try to be an open door. When he is ready for the abuse to stop (& ready to see it truly is even abuse at all) you will be an invaluable resource for him. Granted, if this begins to harm you mentally, always remember you have a choice in the matter. You can always love your friend from afar if need be. You come first at the end of the day and I understand how mentally tasking this can be for you to bear as well. It's hard to watch someone you love and care about go through hell and how it feels when you are incapable of stopping the abuse from happening. I hope your friend is able to see he is so much more valuable than he gives himself credit for. You're a wonderful friend and I wish you both the best.
❤❤❤.
I had a friend who would say the oddest things. One day, she took my two pencils from me while I was drawing, and I held my hand out and laughingly asked for them back.
She stabbed me in the hand with them as hard as possible. I bled like crazy. She laughed.
A while later I had a class with her. Her brother was murdered by someone else, and she told me she was glad he was dead because she got to have all his stuff.
How The FU#& can you say something like that casually!?
@@megandavis3372 I'm beginning to think psychopaths aren't really humans and don't deserve to live in society with the rest of us.
I'm starting to think that maybe she completely shut down emotionally and convinced herself she was glad about what happened as a coping mechanism.
Afterall, it can't hurt you if you enjoyed and benefitted from it.
@@megandavis3372 Lack of innate empathy, than lack of awareness or care to realize the messed up rep your handing off to people.
Myself.. I ended up in jail 12 years ago for armed robbery. It dawned on me that I had no regrets and the only thing I was feeling bad for was myself being caught. I didn't and still dosen't care about the victims, then I would force myself to tears during the trial in the countroom and afterwards smile and laugh like nothing ever happened. So I realized that I am severely lacking in terms of emotions, empathy and sympathy for anyone that I don't personally care for. I also swore that, if not for anyone else i'll at least do the right things if possible for my own sake, and stay clear of anything that could make my life harder. I try to do the right things based of what I know to right, not what I feel is right. Cause I don't feel that whatever I do is either right or wrong, but I know it to be so based on common knowledge and logic. But I do find myself slipping from time to time.
but how does your sense of no right or wrong manifest to those you care for? because if a different set appllies to them this could be trauma expression of another sort entirely. either way good job on taking responsibility where you must.
@@moocowtoyou I don't know, I feel angry I think. Like i'll get violent tendencies, I don't follow up on them, but I get an urge to hurt those that wrongs me and people close to me. That's how I know I care about someone.
@@andreasul2608 do you feel affection for them?it is odd to emotionally separate from the armed robbery when the same done to your own would make you wish to defend aggressively. with true and deep psychopathy your "cared fors" wouldn't necessary elicit a defense state
were you faking tears in court or was it a strange vacillation from overwhelmed to joking and into uncaring? did you know your victim at all and consider them possibly deserving even if just cause they were stupid vs bad?
how old were you and have you ever had head trauma? how unsafe was your childhood?
@@moocowtoyou i'm not sure dude.. I just don't feel much but I do listen to what I do feel when I actually do feel something for someone else. I've had a shitty childhood, I can fake tears yes. I know about the different manipulation technics and I have utilized them. But as I wrote I try to abstain from them, cause that always ends badly in the end. For me that is.
So uh...
Have you ever felt like it wasn't right when you lost someone else's belongings? Or accidentally hurt someone else? Do you feel something isn't right when you are aggressive towards people that are strangers? What about your family, or people you see everyday?
Just wondering. Do you feel achy or that something is wrong when you do things, like stealing or losing someone else's things?
you can get a bad vibe with a lot less than a walk up a drive way. I was 11 and this boy at school was 12. I knew immediately he was bad news. Hair stood up on the back of my neck. We didnt say more than 2 words to each other throughout middle and high school. at 22 he was arrested for kidnapping and raping an 11 year-old girl. The only person I know that was surprised, was surprised his older brother didn't do it first
Hell truly is other people.
You have a good intuition.
So many stories about kids being psycho, this is why mental health professionals need to take signs seriously no matter what age the patient is.
For real tho, my Mother has been diagnosed with ASPD. She's emotionally stable, doesn't take dumb risks, loves animals and takes no joy in killing them. She has a very small circle of people she cares about. Anyone outside that circle,... well, she just doesn't care if they live or die. Sociopathy is weird but not as bad as Psychopathy.
Theres no difference
@@VarsityAthlete04false. There is a significant difference, and it’s truly only colloquial. ASPD≠psychopath, it means someone on the psychopathic/sociopathic spectrum. When symptomatic, they can exhibit low empathy, general disregard for rules, lack of respect for authority, and an inability to form meaningful personal relationships. Some are always symptomatic, never get help, and turn into the Ted Bundy’s of the world. Others, like OP’s mom, have learned cognitive empathy (and OP’s mom does seem to have some organic empathy as well). It’s hugely important to remember that people diagnosed with ASPD are people, and even bothering to get the diagnosis is a good sign.
It just makes me think that siblings should not be caring for other siblings without supervision.
@@breetoldyouso you didnt point out any difference
@@VarsityAthlete04 I think I remember hearing that the difference is that psychopathy is the kind you're born with, while sociopathy comes from childhood trauma, but idk if that's true or not.
Story 24: This guy sounds exactly like my old friend from high school. She pretended to like people because having friends is "normal". She definitely was sadistic, but, only in fiction because: "I'm not stupid enough to do that for real. I want to find a place where I can live alone away from everyone else when I'm an adult. If I get arrested I'll having to live with hundreds of people for the rest of my life." She was completely emotionless in general, but, sometimes felt very waterdown versions of joy or annoyance, those two were all her emotions. She loved to talk about monsrers she invented to k*** people in creative ways. I was the only person she "liked", but, "liked" is a strong word. I guess it was more "intrigued", because, I didn't react negatively to anything about her psychopathy. She's not hurting anyone and wasn't planning to, so, who cares? She just wanted to write horror and be left alone. I'm autistic, so, it didn't occur to me to care if no one was getting hurt. 🤷🏻
i'm like that. i have a friend like that. i have a lot of disturbing fantasies that i'd never act out because the law, and it's way too much of a hassle. i don't think we're that bad either because we have no intention of hurting anyone
I see your autism also gave you a delayed realization that intense hate for someone can have nothing to do with whether that someone is a negative/harmful influence.
This is basically when you're adopted and become their 'pet'. I became a psychopath's 'pet'. I've also been a narcissist's 'pet'. Because I am autistic and suffer from PTSD, I tend to dissociate or just don't react the way other people react. Sometimes, I'll just ask questions instead of judging someone because when something is dangerous or unsafe or out of the norm, my brain just accepts it and rolls with it because it's a way to make sure I don't die. Or I outright don't REALIZE the danger that I could be in by hearing someone confess these things. It's like a light version of "freeze"/"fawn" combined, I suppose.
Good thing there are consequences in this world. This world would prob be a real mess if there wasnt something keeping people from just rampaging around.
What do you think?
@@jessie-tb3kd”because of law”!? 😭

I would also comment this, but I would be labeled as a copycat.
I have no idea if my brother is a psychopath or a sociopath, but the way he used to laugh when he would hit me, or twist my skin between his hands, or bend my fingers back as if he was trying to break them, or sit on me to suffocate me, or any other physical abuse he'd put me through, was frightening.

For me, when I was first divorcing my ex, it was when he made a comment that he believed we WERE a happy couple "if we didn't have the kids." Something in me went so cold over the way he said it. He is of course an avid hunter with tons of weapons. He remarried a woman with 4 kids, and she's all the submissive doormat he ever wanted. My daughter tells me the wife is miserable, so i know it might not last long, but as long as he has her he has left me alone. I feel bad for her but also feel safer while she's in the picture, it's a shit situation all around.

I have seen the video of Stephen McDaniel being interviewed as the reporter said, "A body has been found."
I was a year ahead of a guy in grade school. He gave everyone the creeps. Long story short, after a few incidents, he is in prison for a long time now.
I knew a really off guy with ASPD he wasn't like, "evil" or anything like that. Bro just didn't have a little something in him. Something to make him seem human, if that makes sense. But he had the manipulative tendencies and things like that. He would get what he wanted and you would give it to him willingly but he didn't have that mean streak so many of these people have faced. He was like the friendliest, most decent guy i knew who'd do shit just cause he thought that it might make someone happy, not because it made him feel good or he would get anything from it but just because he could.
I dated a army guy who had nothingness in his eyes.. it actually spooked me out.. he would rarely talk about his childhood and that was kind of scary as well.. and when he did he would tell me stories half way and leave me questioning so much.. and would disappear many times throughout the week.. idk.. i just had to block him
I know that the overwhelming majority of people don't join the military to have a legal outlet for killing people, but they do exist. I've met one before as well. They're paranoid and frightening and other veterans absolutely hate the fact that those serial killers were allowed to stay in for so long
The thousand yard stare?
That sounds more like trauma than psychopathy. Sad stuff either way
@@F.udemin The guy seems like a typical case of someone who survived child abuse. But maybe I'm projecting. Anyway, I was a lot like that when I was younger I even joined th Army (which is also fairly common for people with less than ideal childhoods)
I even suspected I had some form of Anti-Social Personality Disorder. I've not, if anything I'm more empathic than average, but the two can look very similar
@@direktive4nah thats diff
I feel like these stories go from “barely escaping a deathly relationship” to “they looked at me with anger so I got scared” to “that shit was wild but whatever” 😂
I think the exact medical term is ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder). It is known colloquially as psycopathy or sociopathy BUT there are many differences but one key difference from what I've been able to tell.
For the most part, psycopaths are born and sociopaths are made. It's likely that it's usually a bit of both nature and nurture in most cases.
Other differences include:
-Sociopaths are more impulsive and unstable, also more likely to be involved in criminal behaviour (although psycopaths are famously highly represented in the serial killer population). Psychopaths tend to be more calculating and less impulsive
-While psycopaths feel NO empathy, sociopaths usually have some capacity for empathy (it is just significantly reduced)
I think a main difference is that psychopaths can be charming and well liked, but sociopaths are not. There is no evidence that shows one is born and one is made.
@@beepbopboop7727 Neither of you are entirely correct.
While there's no clear evidence (At least that I know of), what created that "myth" is that there are MORE evidence pointing to biological and chemical origin on psychopathy and more psicosocial and enviromental evidence on sociopathy cases.
And no, sociopaths can be charming and charismatic, but so can psycopaths be not.
The whole "being charming and charismatic" myth is probably related to their hability of observing, learning and replicating human behaviours that best fits for their interests. Having no empathy does not say that they can NOT understand it from a third's perspective. They cant understand it really to care, but they do understand perfectly, better than us, how it works, how people work, etc. They use such capabilities to morph themselves onto the individuals that will allow them to fulfill their interests, regardless of if they really think that way or not.
For example, a psycopath that wants something from you, the very moment something happens in your life that creates an opener for them, you'll come across one of the most comforting and charismatics person you'll ever meet. For example, a romantic rupture, while they DGAF about you, your rupture, your feelings or whatever, they will listen or give comfort or advice way better than any of your closest people. That's the true danger of psychopathy.
@@beepbopboop7727 Nah both of them can be charming, that' a learned skilled, and isn't an innate trait. The urge to manipulate is a trait alot of people with aspd have, but without the actual skill to be charming than It' totally possble for either varient to attempt to be charming, but their skills and understanding are so subpar that the facade falls flat instantly.
" looking kinda autistic" ummmm no I don't think this person is educated in what autism really is. There is not an autism look. Anyone can have autism with all sorts of looks. Stereotypes and segregation based on looks is for movies bro.
I’ve noticed people are leaning heavily on “autism” as the replacement slur for r3tard. It’s gross
There is a look for moderate to severe autism. If you’re on the low end however, sure no one would know unless you told them.
Cruelty. Finding cruelty exciting because there is no attachment no empathy. No actual real connection. No simple joys. These people are around.
I worked at a restaurant as a server and my lead invited me and some other coworkers to his home for a few beers. Well after a few beers me and my lead went to the balcony for a smoke. Out of nowhere he asked me have I ever thought of murdering someone. I laughed and said no I haven’t. He looked me in my eyes and said what about a homeless person. He said no one would miss them and that they are easy targets. I quit my job the next day and never told anyone. That’s when I realized you never know what a persons true intentions are.
story 20. that is genuinely my biggest fear when heading into an assembly, i live in america. op saved so many lives and i dont think they understand that. school shootings are a serious problem here in america, and every time i hear a loud sound at school, i freeze because thats just the reality. op saved so many lives that day.
I do like the psychopath stories. Got the true crimes vibes. Tho the hamster story made me so sad. And I’m only like 5 mins in.
and the 15 second microwave made me say I didn't sign up for this ish
That made me viscerally ill.
There are at least 3 horrible hamster stories. It's really disgusting.
I knew a guy into crush content. He gauged me to see if I was into it. I think he killed my cat. He made his own ending about a year later
Story 19 reminds me of a guy I came across. Friend of a friend. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know enough to be able to understand or articulate all the ways it was wrong. Years later I learned about Borderline Personality Disorder, and how they can latch onto someone and form serious and unhealthy attachments.
At first, I wrote off everyone with BPD. It's bad! I've seen it! Then I realized it was like any other mental health issue. Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, even narcissism. They're treatable. Not all with drugs -- drugs help, but treatment for everything requires knowledge, new tools, and learning countermeasures.
Remember: Your mental health is only good until it's not. Then you join the club. So don't write them off, because you may be writing your future self off.
Thanks for the horizontal mode :)

My last boyfriend was a narcissist and likely a sociopath. It was horrific, and I constantly had bruises. Broke 3 ribs because I thought I should take my phone with me after he threw me out, and he didn't want me to have the ability to contact anyone for help. Trauma bonding is a real thing. It's been almost 10 years since I escaped, and I'm still too terrified to date.
Had a classmate at 14 that I was wary of, and didn't know why. I felt terrible guilt about judging him before even knowing him, so I made a point of hanging out with him as much as I could at school. He was charming, very outgoing, seemed very adjusted, did well in school, and was a sporty type. Everyone liked him. Eventually I, too, considered him a dear friend, and finally had quieted the part of me that kept being alert in his presence.
Then one day the news broke, and he was charged with breaking-and-entering, destruction of property, arson, assault, and animal cruelty. Apparently his hobby was to sneak into houses or yards of the elderly in a few villages surrounding ours, and killing their pets (few dogs kept in the backyard, few cats, and once a litter of kittens inside the house). He'd even written some stuff on the wall with animal blood, and set a shed on fire with puppies inside. This had been going on for a year at that point, and we'd had no idea. Always trust your insticts, people.
i moved to a new school at the start of this year, and i met this guy in my class who was always a bit weird. the other kids in my class sometimes would say hes a psycho but i always thought they were joking. it took him kicking me in the stomach with steel capped boots while i was on the floor, bringing venomous spiders into class (we live in au), bringing knives to school, and sending my other friends and i gore images taken by paramedics of real dead people for me to realize he was REALLY fucked up. unfortunately, one of my friends claims he touched her last year without consent as well, and we are currently in the process of trying to move him out of our class.
46 men who mistreat the family but act like the best dad to others. Never trust them. To people who only reputation matters, that they will do whatever they can to protect their image... they are unsafe.
Hearing these stories got me thinking about an old co-worker of mine from a decade ago. Several years younger than I was, but we casually chatted once in a while on our coffee breaks. I always thought he was a somewhat odd person - but not in a bad way per say. So, one day we were alone in the break room - quiet time of day with no others on breaks at that time. And out of the clear blue, he started talking about his high school days... told me about how about how he'd shoved a kid down the stairs one day, because he;d been mouthing him off. He was utterly emotionless and matter-of-fact as one could be when he explained about how to this day the kid he shoved has never learned to walk again, after his back was broken in the fall.
Now, I do think he was lying... making up this crazy story for goodness knows what reason, without any way to understand that I, like any normal human, was obviously horrified by it. So, a compulsive liar, just as much as utterly deranged. And thinking back to it now I hope I'm right about it having been a lie. This was a pretty small town. People talk in little towns. And thing like this are about never just forgotten all about by anyone from that generation still living nearby. And no one ever once mentioned anything about this in the town's one small-ish high school. But still... horrifying all the same.
I met my ex in the local library DnD club. He was 28 at this time and I was 16. We eventually became sort of friends, he invited me to drink and watch movies, later when I had a suicide attempt he helped me calm down and then tried to have sex with me. As an autistic teen with no social life I just rolled with it and we kind of had a relationship for the next two years. There was a lot of manipulation, red flags and straight up abuse but I didn't really knew better and stayed. He was obsessed with serial killers, his apartment was dirty and full of trash, his two cats was afraid of him and he bought me a lot of "BDSM gear". Then he somehow met two women, ~30 and 40 years old and we just decided that four of us have a polyamorous relationship now. It went like that for two months, I turned 18 at this point and he often asked me to marry him. Than this women saw what a miserable guy he is and dumped him, then he found a new girlfriend (we are at the same college with her now and she's cool) and dumped me. It was a RELIEF. This guy only had like two emotions - anger and sort of cynical bitter happiness, I never understood him and hope i never will.
Why didn't you leave?
@@fiefievioletshe said she was 16 when she met him. That’s very young. A lot of times they don’t know what’s happening is super messed up.
From childhood cruelty to violent outbursts and severe antisocial tendencies, it's like a nightmare realizing that such traits can manifest from such a young age.
Not a psychopath ( from what I'm aware of), but this is my story.
So I was dating a guy in England and I'm in the US. He was originally nice and kind but after almost a year into dating him something made him snap into the real person he is. I ended up getting verbally abused and used for my money and body. I didn't realize until much later because of how in love I was. But we broke up and i thought i was free until the guy ended up finding where i lived and made multiple diffrent accounts to asking me to give him a 2nd chance. I was stupid and went back with him but after a week I was told that he gave me a "second chance" just to make a joke out of me. I was broken and was already in a bad mindset and I ended up in the mental hospital for about a week. After I got out I had stopped using my social media for 2 ish years. Then I get a text and it was him and he found my mother's number and started harassing my mother and me. After he had calmed down(a month later) he asked me to be with him again and I said no but he had threatened to off my family and me. After that the police had enough evidence to put him away and put a restraining order on him. It's been 2 years now and I'm finally feeling safe once more.
Edit: he also would pretend to have D.I.D which terrified me every time because he would use it as a cover up for abusing me. Also he did come from England to the US. (Tho he said he lived in Ireland. But I don't know because he would lie about anything and everything he could lie about.)
That is 100% what he is. Those lacking empathy can sometimes act "proper." The fact you said "after he had calmed down" rather than "after he backed off" or something similar means to me that that guy is severely dangerous. Because, he didn't calm down. He was playing that mind game for a whole month. I hate to tell you, since you're just starting to feel safe, but don't rely on a piece of paper to protect yourself. I would suggest self defense carrying if you're not advanced in martial arts. That's something the U.S. allows for precisely this reason.
There is almost zero percent chance someone from the U.K. would come to cause trouble in the U.S. But I don't feel right not saying anything.
@@Mavendow he also would pretend to have D.I.D which terrified me every time because he would use it as a cover up for abusing me.
I agreed about the goth/rebel kids usually the nicest. I'm a metalhead and i have few metalhead friends who dressed as a goth and they're the nicest human being i've ever met. too bad some of them turned to the different path.
One thing to remember is the lack of empathy or impaired empathy can be because of many things. Including head injuries and brain damage.
the cause doesn’t matter - the result is the same
30:30 - I listen to/watch a lot of true crime content, and have seen this case covered multiple times on different channels I follow. As soon as the OP started talking about him being interviewed on the news while Lauren (his victim's name, assuming I recall correctly) was still considered missing, I recognized it. He was also a law student and the case just played out in a totally mad way (he spoke to the police without a lawyer, for example).
Id hardly call what he did "speaking" to the police lmao
To be honest I'm not sure if he was a bona fide sociopath. I think he really badly tried to fake it to go for not guilty via insanity
In 5th grade, one of my classmates came to school with two staples punched into the top of his hand. He bragged about how there'd been a lot of blood when he did it, and how his mom took him to the hospital the night before. We were suitably impressed.
Years later, I read my local newspaper and learned about what happened to him when he grew up. He became a pedophile teacher, the subject of a massive media fiasco. He also had a history of extensive and extreme self-harm. After driving some distance away from the school that his students described their molestation in, he shot and killed himself, leaving a note of apology to his family and victims.

Woah, I’m early, cool.
Just wanna say that I love this dude voicing the videos, but I understand that he needs breaks every now and then. The other guys corny jokes were a miscommunication, but I actually really enjoyed his voiceovers as well.
I am probably not actually a sociopath but I am much more sociopathic than the average person. One of my main interests is ethics and morality due to my noticing, as a small child, 23 years ago, that I *don’t* have any inherent concept of right or wrong, and don’t typically feel much for anybody besides myself. When I do have feelings of any kind, they are so intense it physically hurts, and it’s all very muddled. This has led to me being extremely confused by emotions, very often.
I literally have moral principles developed by having to genuinely think about why something is considered good or bad, and there is so blatantly *no* real single source for morality of any form. Not some god of righteousness and not human empathy. It’s something that we all ultimately have to find for ourselves and most of the people in these stories are considered psychopaths because they clearly have not found moral principles compatible with a functional society.
Why don’t you give that “subjective morality” a little more thought. You’ll get it right one day. You made a lot of absolute truth statements. How can that be?
That's interesting. I am extremely similar. Diagnosed BPD in my early 20s. But the quiet kind. I 100% understand what you are saying about the physical pain from the intensity. But I couldn't put proper words to it until I just read your comment. I would describe it to people as my skeleton felt like it wanted to walk out of skin, like my bones think my skin is on fire and trying to run away from itself.
😅 I don't know if anyone ever understood me when I described it
i get you. meta-ethics
I disagree with your statement. That's like saying there's no source of flavor because your tongue can't taste. Or that color theory is fake because you're blind. Its impossible to rationalize a sense if you've never experienced it.
The fact sociopaths, an exception within human populations, tend towards behavior that is considered near-universally reproached is in itself indicative of baseline human morality.
Morality may not be a rigid system or creed as presented, but it is real and the mere fact we humans have, throughout all our history, flown to the philosophy of it like moths to light, is proof enough.
The only argument for "moral ambiguit or non-exsistence" that I've seen make some sense refers to cultural relativism, and that is always the result of some form or another of isolationism. When societies are extroverted, their sense of universal morality quickly deepens. Only societies that rationalize and justify immoral acts are societies that refuse to engage with openness. They operate on a far more rigid concept of "us vs them". When humans are left to their devices and allowed to coexist, we gravitate towards the same concepts of love, altruism, dignity, responsibility, honor, etc.
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 I liked the comment and while I cant say I agree since i would have to give it more thought, ill stick with the end, where you mention altruism.
I dont think of altruism at least as a pure human nature trait, in fact, i disagree with almost anyone that says that real altruism is a real thing, for me there isnt, the whole concept of altruism is flawed, humans are egoistic and self centered by nature, however at one point in nature we noticed that we had better chances at surviving being together, than alone. From then on, Darwinnism did it thing (And things like loneliness flourished for the first time), and that leds us to where we are now. I do however think in egoistical altruism, which seems to me the perfect summarization of human thought, its nature and its evolution.
We only tend towards altruism in our daily lives cause we were made to do so for our own benefits. Thus, egoistic interests.
Just a reminder: Just bc someone is a sociopath, that doesn’t make them a murderer or a horrible person. They just don’t feel things the way we feel them and it can be hard for them to understand.
I had a friend when I was in elementary school, until she kicked me in the stomach one day. I cried so hard from the pain but also because I didn’t understand. While I cried another kid said to me, “She is jealous of you.” She never seemed quite right. She pushed a child off a porch about that same time and he ended up dying. Very tragic. She was old enough to know better. It was a high porch. It happened across the street from the rental house.
After getting married and having 2 kids I rented a home that happened to be near her dad. I was nice to her, thinking of how troubled she was. I was very naive and thought I could help her, she was basically homeless. She had played inside our rental home as a child and regarded it strangely as her own, as if she had claimed it first. She remembered the floorplan. One night at about 10pm I was in the living room alone, drinking tea when someone started violently shaking our side door, trying to get in. It happened a couple more times and someone also tried to break into our car, setting the alarm off. Then we bought a house and got out of there. I know it was her and her boyfriend.
I always love the sign-off messages you leave at the ends of the videos. They are the highlight of the video, imo. Keep up the great work y'all!
Yeah, burning tires and shoes doesn’t mean jack, dude. In rural areas, if you burn in a fire pit and the stuff is yours to burn, it’s no big deal. My dad always enjoyed building a bonfire out back to get rid of branches and the like. Because he wasn’t always the most careful dude, he would sometimes throw in an old lightbulb for his own enjoyment. I don’t recommend that.
Depends on who and where you are honestly. I'm a country girl, use to have a burn barrel, pit too but if you're in the city and just randomly do it it can come off as weird, twisted. I get how throwing a light bulb in can be exciting 😅 definitely not safe if near a home
Tbf that's exactly what they said, calling those actions "general mischief stuff"

Worked at a family pizzaria in Bourbonnais, Illinois.
I was picking stems off spinach leaves when someone walks in back door.
The whole energy in the room changed.
Normally I would look to see who was there but I knew this person was trouble, a predatory sociopath/psychopath.
One NEVER wants to acknowledge one of these, never speak to one as they will try and control you.
I told the manager not to hire this person because of my sense of him.
A week later she interviewed him and was scared by him. He wouldn't stop staring at her chest!
Wasn't the dad himself but his 7 yr old kid. Her dad had told her to go to bed and she was stalling and I reminded her and she looks me dead in the eye and tells me that she will report me to the police for touching her and her dad could get a better girlfriend, ooookkkkk. Her dad was arrested the next day and they asked if I'd take custody of her until her mother came to get her, nope nope nope I'm not dealing with that demon child
This is partially why I stopped dating men with children after a certain point.
I don’t have children and neither does my current husband. It’s been extremely peaceful!
Not sure if this counts, but it may be the closest I've dealt with. Being a Special Ed student, I found it odd that one of the teachers in high school would seem to want me to say "I do" when it was just me with him. A year after graduating, he comes up in the news, having been fired, arrested, and is currently serving an 11 year sentence after a custodian found him with a freshman in a classroom. Had I known what it meant at the time, I'd have went to report him immediately, though I don't think I was the only one he went for. I've since mentioned it to several I'm in contact with, not just with my classmates. He's certainly among those I'm quite content with never seeing again.
I feel bad about this. When i was a child, my older sister had a collection of Sakura card captors cards. She never wanted me to touch it (i had a tendancy to accidently break things. I have ADHD). So one day, i went to our bedroom and secretly TEAR APART all her cards but kept one intact. I went to her in the livingroom and tear apart that remaining card in front of her. She said that i had a pure evil grin when i did, like evil eyes. She ran to the bedroom, saw all the cards and cried. I think when she did, i felt bad because i hadnt realised how much it would hurt her.
To this day, i hate being remembered that. I cringe when someone mentions that event and i just feel so bad and i want to kick myself. If there is something i truly wish i could change about my past, its that. She sees me a bit differently ever since, but we still love one another
The fact that you cringe at the thought of what you did, means that you’ve grown as a person. ❤
My emotionally abusive ex.
If you share your fears of intimacy/fear of being assaulted with a man and he laughs…..fucking run like Usain Bolt as far away from him as you can get.
Trigger Warning: r-pe and other forms of sexual assault
When I was a teenager, I went through a phase where I had graphically violent nightmares of being r-ed by guys I knew. It got to the point where it honestly felt like my subconscious was trying to tell me something and I started feeling uncomfortable around all guys except my best friend.
When I was 18, I met my ex and we become close friends very quickly. Looking back, I can see a lot of psychopath tendencies from the very beginning. But I was so sheltered and inexperienced that he snowed me completely. After a particularly graphic r--e nightmare one night, I called him for comfort and made the mistake of telling him two things he became hyper focused on-that I had had these kinds of dreams for the last 3 yrs, and that I was a virgin with no intention to have sex before marriage.
When I was 22, our friendship shifted to lovers. He knew going in I wasn’t going to have sex with him. He also knew that the only man I felt fully comfortable around was my best friend. This infuriated him.
One day he told me he’d never seen the ocean so we went to the beach around 1am. He basically paralyzed me with fear (apparently my fight or flight reflex doesn’t exist for unwanted sexual attention…I just freeze) and assaulted me in every way but r-e. He took my clothes off, pinned me down and laid over me while he groped, kissed, and manhandled me completely without my consent. I blacked out and woke up in his car with his hand in my pants, then blacked out again. Next time I woke up to see him smiling down at me as he stroked my hair. He told me it was 4am and that he’d apparently “done the job so well, you relaxed enough to fall asleep.”
The drive home was intense. He kept asking me to tell him how each thing he did made me feel and if I told him I didn’t enjoy something he became cold. He dropped me off and left. I immediately showered and called my best friend and tried to tell him what happened but I was so in shock I couldn’t explain.
I didn’t hear from my assaulter for almost 3 months. Then he called and he told me that my lack of enjoyment had really messed with his head. I completely misinterpreted this as him feeling guilty. Yeah, he didn’t. But he made me believe it so damn well. He actually cried when I told him I felt violated and didn’t see how I could ever trust him again. He begged me for another chance and promised he wouldn’t touch me again without consent. He explained that he hadn’t meant to hurt me. He just wanted to show me that such attentions could feel good.
Like the master manipulator he was, he had me feeling guilty for not enjoying being assaulted! And like the inexperienced and vulnerable girl I was, I gave him a second chance.
He was on his best behavior for months. Then he started testing my physical boundaries, then pushing the lines. I remember my lightbulb moment of “I’m in love with a man I don’t want touching me” was when he had his arms wrapped around me from behind, kissing my neck while he carried on a conversation with a male friend in the room. The friend was angry because his girlfriend had denied him sex because she felt sick and was just venting his frustration. My ex, still kissing my neck, just casually replied “Better not talk about your way of persuasion in front of (my name). Rape scares her.” And again, he laughed. Even his friend looked appalled as my ex continued, “Can’t deny though, that it’s just a matter of careful handling to turn a No into Yes.” My skin crawled and I stepped away from him on instinct. His response was to tighten his arms and lock his grip, literally trapping me against him. My heart was pounding and I just shut down again.
It was shortly after this incident that I broke up with my ex. The last thing he said to me? “I should have r-ed you. I hope your next bf does. You deserve it.”
Oh my god... This is so horrible, I have no words. I hope you're doing better now.
@@Diane_666 In all honesty, no I’m not. I haven’t been able to go on a date for almost a decade. I’m second-guessing every man I meet.
"The he called and he told me that my lack of enjoyment had really messed with his head"
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
@@fiefieviolet Not sure if this is a reaction or an actual question… so…
I found out like four years later from his now ex-best friend that when he called me he was apparently trying to have the first sexual encounter he’d had since he assaulted me and he couldn’t perform. He accused me of “overreacting” to his “coercion” and when I told him I felt violated because I had been violated, he turned on the manipulation and the tears.
@@kailyns8159 Psychopathic narcissists
Psychopaths can blend in the society, public, they’re very charming impossible to detect them, they’re master manipulators. Sociopathic individuals have trouble to blend in the society, public. You can detect them in public easily because of their bizarre behavior, predatory stare making people uncomfortable. I have a friend who is skinny, but his presence makes people very uncomfortable….Even buffed guys are afraid of him. Yes, he is an sociopath who dislike people. At public: cold, predatory stare, intimidating, angry stare and disturbed mindset…At job interview he has charisma, charming personality, very friendly but all act to give a good impression. I would label my friend an sociopath, because he show traits of an sociopath. Cold, unfeeling, predatory stare those are sign of sociopathy….He has empathy but to certain people he really cares about, out of this circle, he’s an terminator…..PS: he was severe abused as a child so it does make sense….Maybe not an truly sociopath but he is in that spectrum, sociopathic at least….

Never in my mind, would ever think about hurting an animal for real. I have almost MORE concideration for animal than for human. Animals are neither good or evil. They just are. They do what instinct tells them to do. Man, sometimes i feel like i dont have much remorse, but i'd never hurt someone or an animal for fun because its simply NOT FUN. You have to think : would i like it if that'd happen to me? No? Then why would i do it to others.
I have no memory of it, but when I was around two years old my parents hired this old lady to nanny my brother and me. My brother was a year older than me and would tell my parents that the lady was doing bad things to me. They didn't believe him. Six months in, they got a phone call from a random mom. She said she had seen the nanny with us at a park. She was dangling me from my feet and violently shaking me while laughing. This random mom came over and accosted her, and the nanny said she could get away with it because my parents would never find out. In a turn of events, the abusive old lady gave the mom my parent's number when she asked. She called my parents, they put up a hidden nanny cam, took the nanny to court, and the rest is history. I don't know if she was a psychopath or what - she didn't seem very bright - but she certainly displayed a lot of psychopathic traits. In another turn of events, my brother grew up to abuse me and display every trait of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Now that I write this all out, it puts into perspective why my parents began believing everything he said, even if he was clearly lying/faking.

3:50 This sounds like a seizure, not a serial killer. Also, I understand if the physics professor didn't know the word "Algorithm": 1, because referring to addition and subtraction as "algorithms" is odd; and 2, physics doesn't necessarily use algorithms that much. It is more Math and Computer Science types that will use or study algorithms regularly.
Edit: after some quick internet searches the "US Standard Algorithms" are something specifically for child development. Since a professor at a university doesn't normally need education training, it makes sense that the High School teacher (who likely has education as part of her degree) knew the term when the professor did not.
Yeah, I was thinking absence seizure.
@@Salicat99 Exactly, and if it was, the wife seemed calm and expecting it. She handled an absence seizure fairly well, given that he was prone to them.
The seizure itself could explain why he didn't understand the word "algorithm." Something doesn't sit right with me about that story, and yet, every sign points to seizure. Idk.
I had a friend and for some reason, everyone had this weird, WEIRD feeling about her, like she sounded sweet etc, was so good with her words and was so "kind" etc, but when she was in 9th grade, she had an argument with this boy and threatened to stab him, after a few weeks he didn't turn up to school and they found out that she led him into the woods and got him to lay down and close his eyes and she started stabbing him, she was arrested two days later and had gotten 16 years in Jail.
Psychopathy is a weird one because they don't choose to be that way. I can't imagine many fates worse than lacking the ability to feel emotions
YK ITS A GOOD DAY WHEN UNDERSPARKED POSTS🔥🔥
REAL !!
Grandmother adopted a few kids when I was a teen. One day she kept looking for one of them and couldn’t find him. She later found him in the backyard hanging from by his neck, from a tree, in the nick of time, while his other brother stood there laughing.
I rode in a taxi once and I noticed the driver is a bit reckless so I told him to get easy on the wheels. He almost hit a pedestrian and he told me "I used to kill a pedestrian and I made look like an accident but I hate idiots crossing down the street" he told me further that he used to be a bus driver and the bus company paid the bail and he was fired.
I was 18 and I had been homeless couch hopping since my mom kicked me out at 16. I ended up with this Guy. At first it was sweet and nice then I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere or talk to anyone. We had 2 roommates who were dating easier and he would get mad when I would talk with them. One day I was smoking with my coworkers after work before going home we were sitting in the car. All of a sudden I get a phone call it’s Tom (bf). He’s screaming at me saying the next door neighbor told him I wasn’t who I said I was. So instead of asking me or talking with me he accused me of not being me and I was fake and a terrible person so and I should die for lying to him for the 2 months we dated…he ended up calling the cops on me for identity theft but when I called the police and asked them to check and see if I was needed to talk they just said no he does this all the time to people I think your good. I haven’t heard from him since but I feel like I would have died if I didn’t leave…
A friend of mine's husband is definitely a sociopath. She has mental health issues and PTSD, and he intentionally pushes her buttons to keep her in a bad state and dependent on him and his "guidance," and plays at having depression and mental illness. He will keep her up with long talks about his feelings as a way to keep her sleep deprived (which causes more emotional instability), and does all of it under the guise of bonding and being emotionally available. She once told me that he threatened to end her and their child, then himself (he has a gun). He isolates her and alienates her from anyone who provides a support network (including me; we haven't spoken in 4 years). He also threatens to end himself whenever he doesn't get his way. And she still worships the ground he walks on. Heartbreaking.
My ex is also a sociopath. Which is strange, because he didn't have a bad or traumatic childhood. His mom is a functional alcoholic, but loving and attentive. His father is a weed addict, but also loving and emotionally available. Both are educated and had decent jobs before they retired. I think the problem is that they never held him accountable when he did things wrong, so in his mind, he did no wrong. He is in his early 40s now, and the only time he held a job in the entire time I knew him (from 2007 to present) was when I all but forced him to (and he didn't last a year; he quit the job within 2 months of us splitting up, after moving back in with his parents). His parents just let him live with them and take care of him like he is still a child. Leaving out all the details, he was a liar, a thief, a cheater, and only cared about what he could get out of people.
Your friend should take her son and leave. Whether he is antisocial or not is anyone's guess. Many neurotypical people do this to their victims. People with mental disorders do this too. I've been in abusive relationships and they tried to do this to me and they weren't even sociopaths. I just left. If I had to use force, I would. I'm not afraid of them.
About your ex, I did those things too. I stole, lied and manipulated, but they always set limits on me. I think he might have ASPD. But only a professional can say that. About jobs, we don't last because of our irritability. And also because of boredom. An antisocial person's boredom is so great that we'll do anything.
That husband at @4:30 is freaking terrifying.

-made me send picture proof that i was on my period
-didnt allow me to wear makeup or make new guy friends
-cheated on me several times and then stabbed himself in the leg when i tried to leave him at first
-r**** me and took secret videos of our intimate moments
-blackedmailed me into not dumpung himby threatening to post said videos
-showed up to mu school after he had graduated and i had left him, to follow me around
Luckily he moved out of thr country
Im sorry, you were 14 and he was 19?!
@@ChrissyBae yes he was a senior and I a freshman. Unfortunately he was so charismatic and popular and I was fresh meat, fooled by his looks and popularity. I forgot to add that he also had our mutual friends spy on me after I dumped him, for idk how long. Like, typing this all out made me realize how fucked it all was.
@@SydtheSquid112 im so sorry all of this happened to you. Im glad you made it out of that situation alive
A while back, I used to work as a bartender. One night, a guy I had never seen before was sitting at the bar talking to me and a couple of regulars.
Halfway through the conversation, we teased him jokingly, and he just got this cold look on his face, and then he proceeded to say "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you..." etc. while pointing at each of us in turn. No trace of a joke on his face. Then he stood up and walked out of the bar.
One of our regular guests is a very big guy, but also the sweetest person I've ever met. He felt bad about having upset the stranger, and he obviously felt like he could handle it if the stranger got violent. We have very strict gun laws in my country, so there was no chance the stranger would have a gun, and I guess our regular wasn't worried about going after him, so he was like "I'll go talk to him" and went after the guy.
The moment he stepped outside, I knew something was wrong. I could see a flash of movement, blood flying, and then he fell to the ground, and the stranger took off running down the street.
The stranger had taken out a knife and stood waiting outside for the first person to walk out the door. He had immediately slit our regular guy's throat from ear to shoulder.
Luckily, another regular was a police officer, so he knew immediately what to do, and our guy survived.
The stranger was caught pretty quickly too because some other guests ran after him, followed him at a distance, and told the police where he was.
So it all had a "happy" ending. But I still remember that look on his face when he said he was going to kill all of us. Scary as hell.
I was at a camp once and one of the kids caught a crawfish and over 4 days he put more and more salt in this live crawfish's container until it died. He dried it out till it slowly and painfully and it was joke to him. We also had some gun classes where we learned safety and then got to shoot some wood targets and the entire time he was pointing it farther and farther from the targets. It got so bad my dad told me to get behind a tree because he was scared the kid would shoot into the crowd. He scared me to the core.

Thank you for the goth shout out. Black trench coats and eyeliner doesn't make someone inherently... anything. It's a fashion choice, not a personality type.
I think that many times that Goth vibe acts as a safety valve. I remember meeting a goth couple, must have been high school age, in a grocery store many years ago. It was the day before Thanksgiving here in the US and I kept seeing them all over the store, holding hands and looking confused. I finally stopped and said, "you look a little lost, did you need some help finding something. "Cranberry sauce?"
I showed them where it was, poor kids were looking in the condiments.
They thanked me for helping, especially as I didn't work there.
Honestly the reason hampsters aren’t rly cared about that much is because they have a huge propensity to self delete(I had a hampster break his own neck.), they breed like crazy, eat each other (it’s not uncommon for a parent to eat their young), and generally just suck at being alive.
In captivity lol
@@fiefieviolet nah, just in general. Even outside of being kept as pets.
Some of these are likely from children that are hurting, angry and striking out where they can, others, yikes.
Parent-teacher conferences are terrifying! There are scary parents out there who are extremely threatening....like bodily harm, or I'll ruin your career types - over really minor things.
When I was 4, the boy I was being forced into play dates with eventually held a knife to my throat one day. That, thankfully, ended those awful play dates. He was a year younger than me and when we finally ended up in high school together I said something to him about it and asked if he remembered it. He did not, but laughed and said it sounded right for him. I guess other similar things happened when he was little. Neglectful parents. The mom left me, jr psycho, and his 2 yr old brother ALONE downstairs to play unsupervised. They had tons of toys, plenty I would have really enjoyed playing with even as a girl with all of us together, but the boys picked ninja turtles every dang day for WEEKS. They overruled me because baby brother would do whatever big brother wanted. Now, I was a tomboy, so it wasn't that playing tmnt was a problem, but I was ALWAYS the villain and they got physically rough with me, hitting me with the action figures, etc. Dunno what happened to him, but probably nothing good. His dad was in a band and gone most of the time and both parents were drug and alcohol users. That's why the mom had so many "headaches" and wouldn't be downstairs with her feral sons. She wrote off the knife incident as "just playing" because it was a table knife instead of a butcher knife. He couldn't reach the knife block or things might've been different. Also, it still could've cut me if he started sawing it on me regardless.
Guy 1: Molested his sisters and their friends that would sleep over, later got arrested for it and was very honest when interviewed, but he never would say or understand that what he did was wrong
Guy 2: Lied about being raped & having cancer & DYING, then shot his brothers girlfriend in the face “on accident”. Got away with it though.
Guy 3: Blew up frogs for fun.
Guy 4: We were telling our best quirky middle school stories, and he talked about how he molested his friend during a sleepover but “it’s fine because he’s pretty sure the boy liked it”. He thought that was a QUIRKY story, so I fear what a regretful or bad one is.
Story 19 is like my sister. Not a sociopath, but effed up. For some reason she started worshipping me in a way where it felt like I was Justin Bieber (around the same time). But anytime I didn't say the exact right thing (still don't really know what that was supposed to be). She would get mad at me, text in all caps, silent treatment, etc. lots of flip flopping of emotions. I have arm-chair diagnosed her with borderline personality disorder (even though it's a shitty name for it, and you're not supposed to do that, it's just every time.I hear about it I'm like, yep, that's her. And I was the object of her dysfunctional obsession), she'd lie a lot, triangulate with one highschool aquaintance or another over the years to try to get at me. was bullied in school a lot more than I ever was and abused at home. i don't think she ever felt safe her whole life, so she couldn't feel safe with me either as an adult. Not that I was a great sister, but I felt "not in danger" at school and when people left me alone. So I'm an abused, easily triggered, introvert (I'm actually not that shy or agoraphobic I just don't need people the same way as an extrovert, covid lockdown was heaven for me) which is the exact opposite of what someone with BPD needs.
Hi, fellow abused introvert here.
I’m so sorry you went through this.
I also enjoyed the pandemic lockdown, since more people started to understand my anxiety and it gave me an excuse to not be around people.
But, I’m still struggling with being outside and being around people to this day due to lack of trust and not so great health. Most of the time I sit at home while everyone around me lives their lives and I’m just feeling depressed and living in regret. So please don’t completely close yourself off from the rest of the world. There are still some good people out there.
1 Peter 5:7 says, “while you throw all your anxiety on God, because he cares for you.”
I have a story of my own. I met this boy in my last year of elementary (Jack Woodard for those who wanna look him up, I haven't) and we were in a little trio of friends up till middle school. Me, him and the other boy in our trio stayed in touch even after our third wheel moved away. I was "dating" the third boy for a little and when he moved away, we broke up. Learning this, jack asked me out and I said no. This boy proceeded to threaten to kill me and anyone who came between us if I didn't say yes. It only lasted a week, I never really said yes but he took my silence as a yes, and every day for that week the look he'd give me every time he so much as looked at me just spelled "I own you". I finally got tired of it and told a friend who went to our teacher. It went up the ladder from there till it got to the police and they took him to the office to check his bag and look for any evidence to back up our claim. They found a knife and a notebook. The notebooks scared me more than the knife, inside they found a list of sorts. Each page had a name and a description of how he'd kill that person, how he'd hide the body and what, if anything, he'd do with the body after the murder. Mine was in the front and my description took up at least two pages, front and back. He planned to keep me alive for months and do a lot of stuff to me, I wasn't told the exact details but it was bad. The best part? They only suspended him for 2 weeks and then tried making ME apologize to HIM for "hurting his feelings." He stayed in school with me for the rest of middle school and two years of highschool. During those two years of highschool, he caused 3 different lock downs searching for me and the school still did not do anything. It got so bad I had to change schools.
Um, sorry what? What sort of GARBAGE SCHOOL was this?! If this happened in one of my local schools, that’s immediate expulsion and juvie. If true, sorry you went through that and I hope you moved on to a better life.
It bears repeating that psychopathy is not that rare and only a very few are violent. While numbers vary between studies, it is estimated that 1% of the population are true psychopaths. A further 30% of the population are on a psychopathy scale demonstrating some traits. Of the 1% of true psychopaths, 1% will display violent tendencies during their lifetime. That is 0.01% of the population who are violent psychopaths. To assume that all psychopaths are violent is to assume that all who are on the autism spectrum are non-communicative.
I don't believe that is true. There are many mid level psychopaths and very high level ones are probably rare. But given their putting their wishes and needs first, sense of superiority over the rest of us emotional people (if they speak honestly), and sensitivity to even the slightest insult; I'd expect some level of violence is a way of life. Many are also very competitive and need to be dominant, so that implies some fight. More likely is many are good at not getting caught or held to account; and then the rest of us don't find out.
People scoring even 22 or 23 on the Hare test act in much the same ways as those classed psychopaths (25 in UK, 30 in US). They're just good at hiding it from most.
That is true, but at the same time, unless they got caught, why would they admit being violent behind the closed door?
Not saying all of them, but ya know.
I used to be friends with my neighbor as a kid, she started to kill and tear apart and torture worms (idk their names but they turn into butterflies) when she found out that i treasure and care about animals and insects life, her mom is not okay either, her little sister was really physically hurting me by running towards me and pushing me as hard as she can and when i finally decided to shield myself with my hands her mom got extremely triggered and screamed at me and kicked me out of the house after i have been nice to them and helping them clean.
im wouldnt really say theyre a psychopath, but a friend of mine has really low empathy or response to tragic things
i know they would *never* hurt me or an animal (they love animals more than people), but they’ve said some things that has kind of scared me
Went to HS and was in MB with a weirdo. Always talked crudely and about having weapons. I considered him an acquaintance and we were cool with one another but not close.
It was just his lack of care and weird vibe that made me keep my distance. I always thought he'd beat someone badly.
Three and a half years ago, he killed his baby, brutally. He's in prison now.
Sociopathic behavior is like when you reach the maximum level narcissistic behavior to the point where you are not just the main character you see life as a video game where your in control
You know nothing about personality disorders huh
@@onthefridge-w7p maybe not the definition but many sociopaths see humans as npcs is a video game where they are the player
@@caedmonfoster5803leave the diagnosis up to actual professionals please
NOW WAY!! I know the Steven McDaniel case and it’s the creepiest interrogation footage I’ve ever seen in my life!!! That case is the scariest thing by far simply because that guy is beyond human
long ass rant, my apologies. TW for SA. I've met way too many crazy people for an 18 year old, but there's one I think about more than others. I don't really know if he's got ASPD, but I wouldn't be surprised. I met him about a year ago, he was a year older than me and we were in the same film class. we became fiends, and we started sitting together during classes. he was a chill and nice guy, kinda reserved. I thought he was kinda cute, and I feel so ashamed for liking him, cus he's done some messed up things. I struggle with reading social cues and picking up on red flags because I'm neurodivergent, and no one told me this guy was weird until it was almost too late. valentines was getting close, we had been friends for a couple of months now, and I thought "maybe I should ask him out for valentines". not even a week before valentines, some of my friends started discussing the drama that was going on with the upper classmen, and his name was brought up. I asked my friend why they had talked about him, and she just straight up told me he had graped multiple girls, and went crazy when his ex broke up with him and ended up in a psych ward. I didn't even know he was in a relationship, I realised just then that I knew nothing about him. I've never felt more disgusted in my entire life, and I still think about how wrong our friendship could have ended if I ever made a move. I told my friends, and his ex best friend basically confirmed everything, saying he had been manipulated by him and that he was a pathological liar. I still think about every interaction I've ever had with him, was he ever telling me the truth about anything? he stopped showing up at school, luckily, but I sometimes would hear new things about him. he scammed some dealer, put his ex friends in danger, he reposted a lot of weird shit on TikTok, apparently, a year earlier, he had beat up another grapist, but was now seen hanging out with him. later I also heard he's got schizophrenia. I didn't see him for a couple of months, until one day, I was at a store buying a birthday present for my friend, when I suddenly heard my name being whispered in the creepiest tone I have ever heard, right behind me. I turned around to see him standing right there, and when I'm telling you that was the scariest moment of my entire life. for some reason, I felt trapped, the way he stared at me, it felt like I couldn't get away. he wanted to shake my hand, he kept insisting on it. I just stared at his outstretched hand, and the thought of shaking it made me feel so sick, like I would get infected or something. so I just waved awkwardly, and his expression immediately changed. he went from a creepy smile, to absolutely pissed, furious, like he wanted to murder me. I ran out of that store so fast. the last time I saw him was during the film class exams. he sat next to me, and he kept singing during the exam. when he talked to the examiner, his personality seemed so different from when I first met him, he wasn't reserved, or chill, or nice, he was just so... intense. I couldn't help but listen in when he explained his film plot to the examiner, and it was actually insane. his plot included a guy avenging his girlfriend, who was brutally graped and murdered. huh?! my guy, you are not the one to make a movie about this topic. anyways, I've never seen him since, and hopefully I'll never see him again.
I find it interesting how none violent sociopaths and Narcissists act so much alike while the underlying issue is completely different
i mean... boundaries do limit you, that's the whole point of having them
like ideally you want to be able to control yourself, if you have no limit then you're just gonna keep going and bad things will happen
Story 8: I'm similar to the description of the 'sociopath' in that story only in that when someone becomes a threat to me or mine they cease being human beings to me. They are a threatening obstacle and I instantly start dissecting their behavior, physicality, movements, using my military and fighting experience to quickly eliminate the threat. Before that point I'll have empathy and try my best to deescalate and exit but as soon as someone crosses the line for whatever reason they're story is ended and I have no regrets.
There's definitely a guy in my class who's super weird. At first, he seems like a normal, average guy. But when you've known him for like... 7 years, I'd say there's more to it than that. He's talked about hitting my best friend in the head with a ball at P.E. and then actually proceeding to do it, he's bullied one of his friends, and then apologized to him like it had been nothing. He had talked about beating my best friend to cause blood. He also tries to get reactions out of him by talking shit about his favorite football team, and when cats are brought up he tries to get a reaction out of me. I genuinely hate him lmfao. He's most of the time nice, but sometimes he's a brat. Like, a full on brat.
Dealing w/ mini dudes is like dealing with mini dudes. I be giving em rubber bands & ish... Like for the streets. I'm kidding. No I don't. Ok, I do. But just 1. But I told him I was kidding. & Then I had to tell him fr, I'm kidding. Don't do it. & Had to blame the cameras____ after him crying to me about a bully. Sigh, a bully I just had to deal w/. Like I ish u not. I don't always look at their ages. But how do these Rugrats have stachs already. I got the older , bigger "bully"... To apologize & just told them they prob needed space from each other. & The older kid was the new guy ... Dealing w/ his own issues too. That bullied 1 started sounding like a whiny son or sibling. Allll staaahpah, ur cheesy! & I don't wanna laugh right now. He was so happy about that freaking r.band. that I used for my hair...
Still, sigh. @ my head. Also, don't come after me. If u were a personal kid I knew, like personal personal, this is my regular language 🙄... I don't act like this in settings. Not completely anyways
I was talking to a man on Reddit who told me he was a widow. I am also a widow so we bonded over that shared experience. We started taking all the time and he started to call me each day. He cried when he told me the story of how his wife died. Fast forward a few months of keeping this up and I found out he was married and his wife was alive and well. Total psychopath. He also told me a story about trying to poison his sisters boyfriend and all the pranks he would play on businesses costing them tons of $$.
Sociopaths are manipulative and heartless. Psychopaths are the ones that could become murderers and serial killers.
So anyone? You clearly do not know what sociopaths or psychopaths are
For the "algorithm" guy, NEVER apologize for someone else's ignorance. Its not your fault they dont understand. All you'd really have to do is explain, as long as you dont condescend, you do not have to apologize for anything.
It really hurt to hear Story 37 (38:50) mainly because i was the man in that senario and had said a very similar if not verbatim thing to my ex girlfriend when we talked about if I actually loved her.
It's jarring to hear how those words can have an impact from an outside perspective and partially makes me worry for how my ex took it, as well as making me question if I had narrowly skirted being a person like that man.(have not harassed or hurt anyone though, at least. That's a plus)
Honestly, I was also a bit confused as to why that phrase in particular made her think he was a psychopath. Not disregarding other signs, she just seemed to focus on that phrase the most, and that was confusing to me, because it sounds like a pretty cliche breakup phrase. Of course it can be hurtful, but I don't really see how it would indicate an inability to feel empathy.
@@Diane_666 I honestly agree, it kind of is an odd thing to focus on and i feel like there's a lot of context left out of the story
I also didn't equate that to being a psychopath. Many people like the idea of being in love or are in love with being in love for many reasons. A psychopath might think of it that way, but a LOT of other characteristics would have to be there. And victims most often say psychopaths confuse lust with love. There are certainly plenty of stories on here about empty or abnormal sexuality. Psychopaths usually don't get so lofty thinking about love, though they may be philosophical. The ones obsessed about someone in a relationship with them are likely more narcissistic or borderline, as well as perhaps having an obsessive nature.
I had a "friend" for three years. I was kinda desperate for friendship at the time so I overlooked a lot...like the fact that when we would RP together she had this persistent habit of needing to make new characters that were always just "better" versions of my characters. Like if my character was supposed to be a mad scientist, SHE would make a MADDER more GENIUS scientist, etc. Eventually I guess she gets tired of me...just abruptly ghosts me and spreads some kind of rumor about me to all our mutual friends, they ALL turn on me and start stalking/harassing me for over a year, but all refuse to even tell me what I was accused of. Just lots of "how dare you" and "you KNOW what you did". Only ever got an apology from ONE of them when she did the same thing to them, but she still couldn't tell me what I'd supposedly done. Years later out of curiosity I look this girl up...she's got on her public profile the story of what SHE did to ME, but pretending it was done to her, down to details of the heartbreak that *I* had attempted to express to her. Absolute psycho-b*tch. She was the first and only person I have ever genuinely hated. I feel a lil bad that I kinda wish I would hear her life was horrible or she died a horrific death or something, she just mercilessly stabbed me in the back for absolutely no reason whatsoever when I'd only ever been kind to her.
