5 Signs You’ve Met a Sociopath But Just Don’t Know It
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Psychopathy and sociopathy are perhaps two of the most confused terms in the fields of psychology and criminology. While these terms sound very similar, almost identical, they do, in fact, differ in their characteristics. Both disorders are categorized as Antisocial Personality Disorders in the The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as they share major characteristics.
If you're curious whether or not you've met or even dated a sociopath, here are some telltale signs.

this is getting all the extra attention since shane's been talking about it ahaha... he is so likeable and one of my fave RUclipsrs... is he a sociopath :o ?
@@MusikGrl96 He's an empath apparently
That's what I thought, but then I wondered if it was all a put on for us to love him and feel sorry for him ahaha. Either way I'll keep watching his videos lol, I'm probably just paranoid.
Yeah for sure! We're thinking of revisiting this topic again since it's been like 1 year we even did a video on sociopathy. Shane is likely not a sociopath nor Jake. Usually, you can get gut feelings about things, especially in the very beginning of an interaction.
What happens if a sociopath dates another sociopath but neither of them realize?

younger audience, don’t take youtube videos as a way to diagnose yourself with anything. if you really feel like something is wrong, see a professional and have them diagnose you
VERFECT carat 😂
Jung Neol that’s me😂
Except that sociopaths don't think anything is wrong with them ... so will never seek professional help. LOL
Shambolic Rhetoric you have a point... 🤔
I did that. I get odd looks now
1. Grandiose sense of self
2. Mischievous, cunning, or have behavior problems
3. Irresponsible or unreliable
4. Poor behavior controls or impulsive nature
5. Don't feel guilt, shame or remore

3 - "How dare you hold any of us responsible for their own actions? THE MAN is behind all of our problems, except ones we claim don't exist!"
4 - Indiscriminate mob violence, in big & compact "herds" during quarantine to boot.
5 - "What's wrong with attacking civilians who look or think different? Those bastards deserve it, and It's for a better future!"
Sounds like another, not very white-rooted American thing to me.

Truth cant be debated. For #4 history would like to speak to you on indiscriminate mob violence. No shame. Some of us can read and know history yanno.
Actually sociopath do feel guilt but that doesn't stop them from doing there acts
Some have the ability to feel shame or regret, which are both different from feeling guilt.
When they do something wrong, they don't think, "Oh, this person didn't deserve this. Now I feel like an awful person." but rather they'll think, "I shouldn't have done this because now I'm going to get caught." "Now I will get in trouble." "This was a waste of my time." "Now everyone will find out and no one will like/trust/respect me."
Burger Salad correct. Thats the main distinction from a psychopath
Erebma Dammahom interesting and important distinction! Thanks :)
@@mynameisreallycool1 "Oh, this person didn't deserve this. Now I feel like an awful person" how I feel towards fictional characters that I've misjudged
"Now I will get in trouble." "This was a waste of my time." how I feel towards actual people I've mistreated, mainly the first one
I know that they do feel guilty. The first reply here is true
I've met someone like this. It really hit home for me when you said there's short periods of peace followed by rage.

Try dating and falling love with one. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life.
Been there, done that!

Very hard! I Am currently trying to find ways to leave this relationship safely.

same here, ive fallen in love with one, were not dating but acting like we are? idk, but i keep trying to get away but cant
My ex told me she thinks she’s a sociopath. I laughed it off at the time but now that I look back.. she wasn’t lying 😳
looks to me as if this was their goal, fuck me over, trash me have me broken, then make sure I would be a walking trash for a few years and end up right here where I am today....... trashed no job no friends isolated in a room for two years in a row, with a minor travel in which I would get trashed aswell to make sure I'd be a wreck for another year and a half.....
@crimson_noodl yap
shes not a sociopath
If they think they are, they aren't. A sociopath wouldn't analyze themselves.

Guys I think *Lord farquadd from shrek* is a sociopath!
Oh shit you might be right
AHAHAAAHAHAHAA!!!
Why is he ?
He’s a fictional character
Yea he was.
The way I differentiate these personality disorders are by comparing the disorder to Vampires or Werewolves.
Most psychopaths have a very chilling calm, they can't feel anxiety or embarrassment aka Vampire like behavior.
Sociopaths are usually triggered by something that causes their anger or irritability aka Werewolf type behavior
YoAntoNeo thats actually a good way of thinking! thanks for sharing it
You can also tell the difference when one starts to sparkle in the sun too.

When you are hsp, empath and have social anxiety so you are an introvert, but your classmate tells you that you look like a sociopath because you don't talk that much to other people, but you don't have the guts to tell him how wrong he is. That's me 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

thats psycopaths youre thinking of
sociopaths have a shred of guilt or sympathy
even if its only for people that are close
+Zoruamaster249
There's no such thing as people who are close
Morafo Regnos
Actually yes, sociopaths can in fact form some kind of attachments to certain people. Its psychopaths that can't form any attachment at all.
eh, i doubt it's really an emotional attachment in sociopaths. they may get attached to some people the way normal people get attached to pets, and not even dog-level pets, more like. idk. fishes in a bowl. or a hamster. cute thing, but no tears if it goes down the toilet.

One of the harder things is if you become emotionally attached such a person. You keep hoping they will change. You keep seeing signs they may have changed. In almost all cases they will never change. It does happen. It's not common.

@@bjrblds im sorry but the best thing is to let them go ive had someone like this in my life for almost 17 years and they have never changed it just hurts you in the end
True, as hsp i all the time wanted to help my best friend, nothing help she abuse me for 3 years, everything she as done i though maybe i deserves it..
If i get angry she will be hurt so for 3 years i started to have anger issues i didnt show anger becuse i was scared to hurt her like she does to me even when she in a good mood and the anger i took it to myself and say it like she said "it you'r fault!!"
After i got out of it she told everyone im bully and manipulate person
She used to hurting and punching me whenever she felt like

Had a “friend” that I’m sure was a sociopath thinking back. He was super charismatic, everyone loved him. If he was gonna be friends with you, you guys instantly clicked. Every girl loved him. But soon enough I kept seeing a darker side to him. He would talk about stealing from people he was totally cool to when he was around them. He would normalize it and get his friends to help him do whatever he wanted. He’d just cue you in like you were already part of it and he’d make sure he’d have said something little to put fear into you if you didn’t want to do it. Whenever people didn’t do what he wanted he’d immediately be thinking about hurting them. Later I found out when I was fighting with someone it turned out he’d been fueling both of us up because it was entertaining to him. Now everyone I know is done with him and he’s moved on to another group of people. It’s the way it goes. If someone makes you uneasy and you find yourself making excuses to stay around them, this is what you’re dealing with. Run, don’t listen to that empathetic voice. Just run
vice2vursa Lol he’s probably already gonna get himself killed. I don’t need to think of him anymore

vice2vursa if he truly is a sociopath, he would most likely not give a fuck. Sociopaths don’t feel emotion towards anyone else, not even themselves. All they want is to use people and win this “game”.
@@vice2versa i find that is really fucking dumb considering they don't know any better because this is the way they have been taught their entire lives
Chinita Boricua // aren't you talking about psychopaths?
Edit: I mean, the few points you made there also came from sociopaths, but they're more about emotions. Psychopaths are the ones that really describe what you said. But I guess I need to do more research if I'm wrong. Rip.

You are restricted. I pity you
Don't be ashamed, disappointment is a healthier emotion. You're overthinking this a tad bit. You're young. How you feel is how you feel. There are some healthy, and not healthy emotions or CBT too. If in doubt got o a counsellor.

people need to stop labeling people as a sociopath or psychopath from a a five point list on youtube. Everyone expresses these behaviours periodically, these pathologies are chronic and diagnoses are evaluated for consistency over multiple events and large spans of time.

Oh shut up. I feel like the people pissed off by this video are just scared they won't be able to keep abusing people freely.

No one can diagnose someone without the proper training. A high functioning psychopath or sociopath will never let the majority of persons they encounter know who they are as they have spent years crafting their masks to blend in.
Ryan Howard Thank you. Hopefully that might shut up the self proclaimed sociopaths
That’s funny because sherlock calls himself a high functioning sociopath
Some people are very obvious. I don't need a doctor to diagnose a piece of shit when I step in it. It's obvious! It stinks and you just want to get rid of it.
I doubt they know they are one. Also, both of these people are rare and more than likely you've never met one. People will want to feel special at any costs these days lol.

This is basically a documentary about my dad. Can’t describe how hellish my childhood has been. I turn 17 next week, and what with my resultant depression, anxiety, and severe ptsd, I’m still reaping the consequences of what my dad has done to me, or neglected to do. My future still seems extremely dark, but my hope is that I will, in maybe ten years or so, begin living a fulfilling and happy life, once I’ve escaped my trauma. If anyone suspects their partner of being a sociopath, you HAVE TO get as far away from them as you can. The harm it might do to you and your potential children is too great to describe. I know it will be hard, as sociopaths tend to get very attached to someone, without showing any concern for their wellbeing, but I promise you that it for the best. If you are thinking of giving birth to and raising children with a person like this, don’t. They will not change. They will not learn. Just get out as fast as you can.
Yeah my roomate was a sociopath. I went through years of extreme abuse which ruined my university years and still haunt me to this day. The best way to deal with them is to cut all contact.Sad bit is , months after I cut contact I still believed that "I was the problem" and that every thing he had said about me was true. What a POS human. Sincerely hope no one else has to endure an experience with a sociopath.
It's really not the person's fault since it's something they learn to avoid the abuse
@Aditya Yes….they are truly the flatmate from hell….!
"has the ability to have empathy,"
"Has no empathy,"
I'm sorry, but what was that?

Books are better animals are dirty. Who knows where they have been?
I had a friend in 8th grade and she started off as being really kind and encouraging. However she started asking me to do a bunch of favors for her and never doing any in return. She started manipulating me and lying to me a lot. Than she started being mean and using what she knew about me against me. She also has a huge ego and she thinks she’s better than everyone. She also doesn’t follow rules and always argues with authority figures. I am no longer friends with her because I’m tired of being manipulated and thrown under the bus.

I'm 5'4 slim and athletic looking and he's 5'9 and he's fat and walks weird and my other friends didn't do anything about it or didn't say anything they didn't back me up either, they just watched and I just walked away... and I'm not much of a fighter i was sort of in middle school...
I'm a sociopath, but live by a code I was taught, sort of like Dexter. That's why I like that show so much. I have been since my late teens (46 now). I was abused by my parents until I was 18. I think that is why. Now, in my 40s I understand who I am and tell people I am a sociopath so they know up front. My goal is to never hurt anyone again. Peace to all who are suffering.

That's true.
All of these little kids think they're sociopaths, 😂😂yall are funny
Liquid Vinyls lol but humans are typically sociopath expect those who are empaths. Why is that hard to believe ? I mean humans do things for self preservations for surviving so we aren't all that pure however it's not really evil just reality and to survive but when someone does these things for self indulgence then you are evil in a moral concept.
thats why all humans deserve to die except for empaths
vice2vursa lol no saints
I'm actually diagnosed as one. Guess what I'm not a monster. I'm not running around hurting people. I just don't give a damn about what others think and can move on from anyone in an instant. That's actually a cool trait to have because most people get too emotionally invested too quickly. So I don't see the problem. Psychopaths are very dangerous I agree but sociopaths.. it depends.
Being a sociopath is not a good thing, i don't know why would you want to be one.
That moment when u tick off all the points n realize who’s the real sociopath
Woops
Whoopsies...

Anyone relate?
My ex was a perfect example of a sociopath and I had the misfortune of living with him for over 5 years before I finally managed to set myself free. It was a true nightmare, especially for me as a person who has mental and self worth issues. He took the most advantage of me as he could and destroyed my self esteem. And for people saying that sociopaths act "normal" towards people they love... No, they don't. It might seem like that, but in reality they make that person their property and treat them as one, meaning: stalking, completely taking their privacy, manipulating and of course violence.
Shiva rides Cthulhu I'm very good friends with a diagnosed sociopath. While she is generally apathetic when it comes to the well being of other people, has a violent and extreme hatred for her enemies, and has sick thoughts sometimes she really likes me and treats me with kindness and respect. She constantly tells me that she's happy to have me in her life and she has never let you down. She's concerned about my safety and well being and wants the best for me. Not all sociopaths will treat you like shit and you can actually develop relationships with some of them.
Yep, because it's so easy and you know a sociopath by a first glance. ; )
It's very hard to get away from a sociopath when you're in a close relationship with them, especially when you live with them.
N.K. Revolution Sorry to burst your bubble, but your diagnosed sociopath sounds like she's a very convincing actress in respect to you. As a person she has 'acquired', you are presently central to her world. More than likely, she believes or has adeptly perceived that there is a definite possibility of losing control over you IF she doesn't treat you respectfully. While there is a 'necessity' for you in 'her' life, she will probably continue to treat you well, very well, but only for her 'self'ish reasons, definitely not for your wellbeing.
However, once the sociopath in your life perceives you as an enemy, an unneeded liability or some sort of danger, all bets are off. Make no mistake, you WILL see an instant change in her behavior toward you, and it will not be for the better. That warm, fuzzy vibe you get from her now will quickly evaporate as if it never existed, like the morning fog in bright sunlight, and that once well meaning, caring, protective, friendly demeanor (facade) will drop off like a Halloween mask being removed after the party is over.
If that day comes, you WILL be treated just like all her other enemies, probably even worse. She will be angry with you for 'her' having wasted her time & energies on you, even though you probably have never demanded much, if anything, from her. More than likely, you are the 'giver' & she is the 'taker', even if you think it is a 'sharing' relationship. While having what appears 'to you' to be a close relationship, she is becoming amply equipped with 'possible ammunition' to use against you when, or if, in the future, the relationship fails, or to her perspective, you somehow fail her. Since she is now acting like you're an angel in her life & you are her life preserver, you have a long distance to fall in her eyes. I am sure you have probably naïvely shared many things already that you probably shouldn't have shared with a known sociopath. You assuredly have not accurately perceived the many dangers in doing so. But you have as You actually trust her, in her, & think she's sharing her thoughts, feelings & experiences with you honestly on an equal standing of trust & truth. As such, you obviously don't understand that, easily & instantly, you may be added to her 'enemy' list, without a second thought or a single blink of the eye on her part. She as a sociopath she can't help but lie, lie, lie, even if though omission or just portraying herself as only caring for you, while only despising those other people. Without a doubt, because of your mislaid trust, she will be able to do much more damage to your world than she ever could possibly do to any of her enemies. In her eyes, you will probably go from 'saint' status to being 'worse than the devil'. Take care to note of how she talks about & describes past relationships; undoubtedly, that's how she will 'one day' be describing yours. You've already said she's adversarial to her enemies. Take the time to analyze her present enemies & carefully tally the percentage of them with whom she was once on good terms with & whether or not she has anything good to say about any of her exes.
Remember, unless your relationship with her lasts the rest of your lives, you're her next ex! Exfriend, exboyfriend, exgirlfriend, exBFF, whatever. More than likely, there will be retaliation for all of the wasted time that 'she' put into your failed relationship, whatever that relationship may be. Believe it or not, she may even put more energy in the post relationship war than she ever has into the relationship itself.
Unless you're LUCKY enough that she chooses just to turn & walk away to search out a new emotional victim to feed off of...
Time will tell.
But for now, she'll continue to coo & pamper you & tell you oh-so-many nice things that she thinks you want to hear from her. She'll keep tickling your ears with words that'll keep you in line with her 'purpose' for you.
For the time being, she IS happy to have you in 'her' life.
She's selling you a product- her sincerity. Buyer beware!
WatchingMyLifeFlashB I just read her your response to my comment and she just sat there and laughed. She tells me things I don't want to hear from her all of the time (sometime things even about myself) and never has to lie or put on a facade as she is blunt and brutally honest. As for her enemies, she has never been on good terms with any of them and has hated them since they first came into her life. She also hasn't been on bad terms with her friends either and she has strong relationships with them that have lasted for several years and even for her whole life.
Anyone else watching this after Shane’s video? 😂
Really nice to see Shane's video on this topic! :)
Jailan Simon omg yes
Psych2Go I think the RUclips algorithm put this video in a lot of people’s recommendations
meee lmao
Y E S
Did anyone else realize that the buffalo bill Drawing is of the western character not the murder
I have sociopathic traits, but that doesn’t mean I’m necessarily a sociopath. I don’t feel much emotion, and I lie if and when it helps me. But, I don’t have a huge ego (the opposite, in fact) and I feel shame. Perhaps I’m normal, and everybody is the same as me, and I don’t know!
Yeah, about 90 percent of politicians.
Hahaha
I am. And billionaires
Also all those people voting for them. "Society" (and for instance its the Mother of All Bombs) is more insane than anyone not approving its rules could ever be. This whole "science" of sane and insane people is total bullshit.
Mozart Turning on the money printer to create fake wealth, then use it to buy services from your slaves? YES PLEASE! Make me a politician right away!
#FACTS
Well i now have further confirmation that my father is a psychopath and that my mother is a sociopath. No wonder they got divorced.
Man, that's fucking brutal. Sorry about that.
oddly enough it does not surprise me that the dynamic between the two actually worked for a while.
Anthony Smith agreed.
Joe smith How can they get along? How was they doing?
Joe Smith No wonder you were born.
My soon to be ex-husband. I was looped into the cycle used in this video of peace and turbulence. I became so attached to the peaceful moments that when he dealt with his demons of family violence and addictions, I overlooked those demons and lived for the peaceful moments. It confused me thinking that this is how my marriage was gonna be. I was teaching myself to live through the though times to get through to the peaceful times. I fell into a trap of Learned Helplessness. He never once acknowledged the pain he caused me but instead blamed me for his DVs and DUIs. I could not believe he had the nerve to do that to me! I knew it was a blatant lie but appaled that he was actually going there! I finally got the strength to pull the plug on this 30 year relationship as my view of him begins to gain clarity. I also got the blame for that as well. According to him all he wanted was a family and I took that away from him but somehow he forgot how he inflicted pain on me for years! He didnt like that I took a stand.
ok but my ex best friend was just like this in every way 😔
All teens are narcissists for a while, it's an important part of development. I had a lot of these traits as a teen as well, as narsiccism overlaps with sociopathy. None of you teens who relate to this are special.
I don't think a teen would take pride in being narcissistic
@@Bubblegumfunfunfun Well, they shouldn't take pride NOR be ashamed in my opinion. It's just fact. Children and teens need to make an effort to be seen and have all their needs met, or else they will remain narcissistic into adulthood. Narcissism occurs when a child or teen haven't been sufficiently seen and loved by their parents for who they are, just for what they do and how they look. For example, they were only noticed and praised excessively when they did well, like in a sport or any talent that makes the family or parent look good. But the child in itself wasn't appreciated. So for the rest of their life, they replicate that need for admiration and to be seen, and hope to be loved finally. They are inherently insecure in their true character as adults.
@@fromeveryting29 Excellent explanation. Very convicting!
Julian I how does one recover from this?
@@MX76er That's what I'm trying to figure out. I discovered that I was lacking some things from my childhood. I wouldn't say I'm a narssisist, but I have some traits.
Most people more or less outgrow it in their late teens and early twenties.
If not, you might be interested in really examening your childhood. What did I miss? Was I jelous of my sibling? What attitude did my parents have to me? Did they believe in me? What were their expectations of me?
And now, when do I get jelous? Where am I insecure? The idea is to identify what hurt you, what you lacked, and then try to empathize with the child you were and who was hurt. Cry and grieve. This means reconnecting with yourself, and will give you a new sense of security.
I have done this, and it takes long and is very hard. I cried in ways I didn't know I could. For hours.
Some say adult narssisism can't be fixed, but I'm unsure. Really bad cases are terrified of facing themselves and most likely doesen't want "help". If someone wants help I would assume they are just hurt and insecure.
Check out Daniel Mackler here on youtube, he talks about childhood "trauma" and narscisism.
My ex
Same here, dude.
I faked being her "friend" haha she thought we were dating
The funnier thing was that she cut herself and I made her cut for me so I could "care for her"
Drugs Are Bad
What are you talking about?
He's a sociopath lol
I know a guy like this. He's the worst. He's supposed to be my parents friend but he gets drunk and argues with them constantly despite them letting him live in their home for free. Then he will 'apologize' the next day then a few days later do it again. I tell them to kick him out but they never do.😵
Remember 1 in 25 people are sociopaths (I'm not sure about psychopaths)
You most likely know a sociopath.
i think the cartoonist drew the wrong buffalo bill in the beginning...
te e. no the real buffalo bill was a sociopath he manipulated people with his Wild West show and the poem buffalo bill defunct by ee cummings describes him as a pedofile
"buffalo bill defunct
who youst to ride a water smooth silver stallion and break
1,2,3,pigeons just like that
Jesus he was a handsome man!
but what i want to know is how did you like your blue eyed boys mister death
Alec Courtney "youst"?? What the fuck is that!? Don't you mean "used"?
te e Yeah this video is "fool" of mistakes. Hahaha
By the way I'm a sociopath and I'm just putting everyone down so I can feel great.
Yeah she also said Patrick Batem
You guys should really disclaim way more of the statements you make. Really simplified descriptions of complex issues + clickbaitey titles = lots of people misinterpreting the actions of those around them.
Jesus Christ THANK YOU!!!! Morality is so subjective that it's ridiculous to label any behavior that strays from a strict, arbitrary "white light" standard a mental disorder.
Disclaimer: nobody knows whether or not morality is actually subjective, the standard of behavior is not strict, not arbitrary, and not monocolor, and these issues aren't really as complex as they seem to some people.
welcome to the modern world.
The problem with learning these videos is that I haven't come across any that teach a person to think in anything buy a linear way. People's personalities are dynamic and they engage differently under different circumstances. Perfectly normal people behave this way from time to time. It's the recurrent pattern that is the identifier, not an easily remembered singular instance. Everyone shares in these traits to some degree and if you're worried about yourself or someone else you should seek help with a professional. These are basic information videos, not a means of self diagnosis. That is an entirely different, and nuanced skill set that takes an entire doctorate to become reliable with, not something you are going to get in a 5 minute clip. A lot of these traits are also exhibited by people with ADHD, particularly the impulsivity. Please upvote this so people (especially kids) on here aren't getting themselves needlessly ensnared in a damaging self-narrative!
You're responsible and accountable. Well, it seems like you know the depth of information.
This video made me realize im sociopath. I dont feel guilt no matter what i do. I always find a way to justify everything ive done and i have many times manipulated someone to take the blame. I dont feel sorry for anyone and i can cry whenever its needed for me to success. Only thing i dont see my self in this video is physically harming others. But i lash out in anger and destroy stuff and even hurt myself, never other people because i would get in trouble.
Same here
lol
Unfortunately I have encountered about 5 sociopaths. It takes time to figure them out. They are cunning.
The Paul brothers, no doubt
Your Opinion is Invalid lmao
Your Opinion is Invalid OOF! ROASTED COFFEE BEANS!
What about Lil' Tay?
David Dobrik :O
Vania Niandra shes an apath
This describes my ex. Finally got him out of my life . 1 year of no contact with him and my life has improved.
Used to be best friend with a sociopath, ''broke up'' with her six months ago but she still haunts me. I blocked her everywhere so she hacked my instagram and had access to it for four months before i noticed anything. Please be careful with who you let into your life.
Super convinced that my now ex best friend is a sociopath.
Same. The explanations in the video pretty much went over everything my ex-bestie did to me. So glad to have kicked him out of my life - well actually, he kicked me out lol.
same
Same with me. Now I have an amazing best friend 😊
if you don't mind me asking, what happened?
Virescent Gave Up On Their Dream well she ended up being really toxic so now I don’t talk to her anymore
My best friend... she is all kinds of messed up yet she guilt trips me to stay.. I hope she doesn’t find this
Her mother is on and off with her abusive stepfather. Her parents are divorced, she tells me about how she would of already killed herself without me, claiming her mental disorders like anxiety and depression as hers and tells me about how every mental disorder, even that I have is so relatable for her, showing trashy evidence, even fucking Buzzfeed quizzes to support her evidence, she has ruined a lot for me and I have developed anxiety and i cannot talk about my suffrage. I try to leave ‘don’t leave me like everyone else’ it is very stressful and she always talks about how all the other people she know are stupid and idiots and how we are much better.
She loves to use people and I have no idea if she is using me, she mooched off her father to get An iPhone 8 and promised him she would try to do something (she never specified anything) she will always brush off anything I try to say to her, saying she has much worse, and I guess she does but that’s not the point... she always talks about if she can have her way what will she do, I have ADD and anxiety with Alice in wonderland syndrome which causes me hallucinations when I have migraines and difficulty telling dreams and reality apart. She always blames me when things go wrong talking about how I’m crazy because of my mental disorders. She puts me down and undermines my confidence in the strangest of ways ‘wow you ran in a time faster than before! Too bad your muscle deficiency causes you to be too slow anyway’ she mocks me while complimenting me about things that are wrong with me, while complaining about how people are trash for not valuing her enough because of her disorders. I try and help her the best I can empathizing with her and I could spend all night looking for information to help her, because she is set on being skinnier to the point of starving her self, and I can give her all the information in the world and all she would say is ‘whatever I had 700 calories yesterday’ this drives me to the point of tears and panic attacks and I try to leave, but I *cant*
not sure if narcissism or sociopathic. I don’t know what to do
Stop being friends with her. I know it sounds harsh, but she is adding more negativity into your life, and doesn’t seem like she is even grateful for you.
And even if her problems seem worse to you, that doesn’t mean your problems are unimportant.
Don’t let her guilt trip you for you to stay.
I am a very empathetic person as well, and just like you, it’s hard for me to let go of the negative people in my life because I really want to help them, and be there for them, idk out of pity I guess, which they take advantage of.
Don’t let her take advantage of you anymore, and it’s also pretty shitty that she uses your disorders against you. You don’t deserve that. You deserve a friend(s) who would be there for you, just as you would be there for them.
The relationship you have with her is toxic, and I advise you to let her go.
You *can* let her go, something might be stopping you from doing it, but you can, it’s just really difficult for you to.
Holo Glitter LEAVE HER
This girl sounds like she has serious issues and you sound like a kind loving person I don't believe she would hurt herself because some wormell Lee when people will hurt their self serve commit suicide they will not tell you she is telling these things to you to hold on to you you need to go speak to a school counselor your mother somebody that's older and you really need to get away from her she is making your problem sound bigger than what it is she is causing you anxiety you don't have time in your life for this kind of person get away from her talk to somebody that you feel comfortable with like I said before this girl sounds like she's very ill but not in the kind of way that you could help her look at all the comments We have basically made all the same comments about this girl and what you should do
You need to leave her no friend would put you down like this. I know it may be hard but you have to she is not your responsibility. No friend would make you feel like this and not know what to do. Leave her I know she talks about sucide and stuff but you can't be friends with someone who constantly puts you down.
Sounds like you should fucking scream at her
I had a bully in middle school who pretty much fit all of the descriptions suggested in the video. I didn’t realize he was a sociopath until much later.
I think at that age, kids can act like this for a number of reasons, like other disorders/traumas/as self defense. Maybe he is a sociopath, ofc I have no idea.
Bex Ed I certainly despised him.
He would shout and threaten me everyday, he would start fights with other students, petually insult me when I attempted to speak in class, bring weapons to school like knives, he enjoyed insulting teachers to the point where he made a young substitute cry and thought nothing of it, he would attempt to manipulate me on occasion through false acts of kindness when he wanted something from me, and he would instigate peer pressure by using other students to antagonize me for fun.
So overall he was a bad kid who was likely sociopathic as he seemed to lack a lot empathy and had very shallow emotions.
@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 Sounds horrible, no kid deserves to be treated like that. Sorry you went through that. Kids can be so bad against each other and it's hard or impossible to stop it. Hope this person didn't color your world too much in the long run.
Bex Ed I think I’m ok but I appreciate it. I think that kid was battling his own demons at home which likely made him that way. I was told that he was medicated but I think he needed more help for his violent anti-social tendencies.
Yes, I think I was on a date with a Sociopath.
I had this "getting to know you" type of date. In our conversation he said "People often say I am hollering and I say, I'm just talking loud. When I'm hollering you'll know it." And I got this cold unblinking stare. He scared me. There were no more dates to follow. It was the PEOPLE OFTEN SAY that scared me away on the first date. For me this was a RED FLAG!!!!
Well, turns out a girl at my school is a sociopath considering she falls under all of those points... better keep my distance .-.
Alo2500 i bet there are 30 sociopaths in your school, including a few teachers
There probably are, but this girl used to be my friend until I realized she was blaming me whenever she did something wrong and always tried to manipulate me to do what she wanted. I'm just glad I ended the friendship
Alo2500 Same, and it wasn't easy at first but I knew that it was right for me to unfriend her.
Alo2500 Aah yes. Been there done that.
Alo2500 same here. im glad i cut ties with her. such toxic friendships leave scars, though. :/
After watching this video i found that
i'm gay
Sherlock, this is a video about antisocial disorders!
Jo Moody its called a joke...
ME
There, right there!
Look at that tan, well-tainted skin,
look at the killer shape he's in.
Look at that slightly stubbly chin.
Oh please he's gay, totally gay!
Shaza Maza - gay people are the most intelligent and compassionate people I've ever known.
My ex best friend was a sociopath and she lived with me and my family for 6 months. At the last ~2 weeks of her stay she stopped being nice since she knew we wouldn't be of use since she would be moving out soon. That made us realize what she has been doing to us the whole time. (How she manipulated us-lived with us for free but did nothing to pait it off like helping around the house, while she manipulated her father to send her money which she spent on clothes). The worst is i cant tell any of my friends because they wouldn't believe me. Im scared tbh
This is my sister almost completely. Please make more videos on sisters. My sister is a narcissistic sociopath, since we were very young...she has done quite alarming things, and as a child I wasn't able to give those things a real name. Now I understand them.
I dated this guy for two months and everyday was peace followed by violent outburst followed by violent behavior followed by peace ...he couldn't see how much I was helping him and didn't care to help me at all or see the pain he was creating. I know he fits this description to a T!
Courtney Taft Why were you dating him for two months in the first place?
Joe Smith They don't always show their true colors until you're deep into the relationship and committed/in love
He wasn't crazy at first. He pointed out all the things we had in common and it was a lot... but I had always dated polar opposites. So at first I thought it was pretty cool then around week 5 he started saying things that were crazy to me by week 6 he started joking about hitting me when I got offended he acted like I was the crazy one. He would yell and get really angry over irrational things. My car was messed up and I was a hour away from my family. He was so controlling it scared me! As soon as my car was not running hot anymore I came home.
Joe Smith I was fooled by his charm and then fell face first into jealousy and angry outbursts. It should have never been two whole months! My longest mistake EVER!!! I cried every single day.
Feliciano Vargis thank you for saying what you did. It's very true. I just couldn't find away to get away from him. I've never been around someone so mean before. I hope I learned a lot from that experience.
Sounds a lot like a kid I knew. He's the popular kid, yet he's always shamelessly hurtful to anyone he meets. It's strange, the way the world works.
easily offended cookie
They're social predators. Any social pyramid you look at (cults or religious organizations, sports, public speaking/media, politics or government, theatre or acting/modeling) they will be there trying to claw their way to the top.
Being "the popular kid" was just practice.
At least for the moderate to high functioning ones.
Yeah someone comes to mind, but she’s 19 so her family just says it’s because she’s just an immature teenager. However, she fits every characteristic of a sociopath and I’m worried she’ll actually kill someone some day. She’s already threatened to kill me multiple times when all I did was help her and all she did was use me for her own personal gain.
I have experienced being with a sociopath and it's not a good experience. Being with a sociopath is not good for your mental health too. Be careful who you trust. Observed them. If you feel that u are being controlled/manipulated by someone you know. Avoid them cut your ties with them. If you feel uncomfortable, and u feel something's wrong with them, just leave. If the signs like in the video are accurate in their personality. I repeat leave them alone no words, no explanations. Don't talk to them anymore.
Outsmart them first.
here from Shane
Zehra.N same
Sameeee

I can't help but think of Abby Lee Miller
Chalron Bjork noooo
Chalron Bjork you are my best friend now
I can’t stop laughing
My old best friend was a sociopath. Lies, intense manipulation, self righteous, no remorse. She stole my personality traits and stories of my past and present, she made out she was I and I was her. She then stocked me for years. They hate losing control coz it means they've lost there game.
I didn't leave a friend ship, it was an abusive relationship.
Imagine that, my girlfriend/baby’s mom is a sociopath. Great.
run robert! run run run! and don't stop till ya get there..
Suddenly everyone in the comments are sociopath or psychopath. And they will be like "same here o_o ^_^ xD", "I have a bad childhoddd don't disrespect me liek that!!!", "My parents are sociopath _" coming from 12 year old edgy kids.
Jessica Cunt
Omg so true
+Furča Sierra
Must be difficult for you.
Best wishes.
Furča Sierra No real sociopath considers himself to be suffering from an illness.
Second Coming Of Bast Your're right
Furča Sierra And I know this because I am one ba-da-boom
tbh all these traits can be parts of other personality disorders. They're all muddled up and it can seem like a person is a sociopath or psychopath when they might just have Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Histrionic Personality disorder
Jennifer Rosario ha
Jennifer Rosario the generic characteristic basically that applies to a a person with no disorders or illnesses
"Hirsute Personality disorder" ... is that like, when their personalities are like massive shaggy bushes of pubic hair? Seriously. Hirsute?
f0rtuzer0 no its another personality disorder
It isn't. Do you mean Histrionic? That's the only one that starts with an H. Also, having exactly one is rare. A psychopath can still have NPD in addition to ASPD. Each one you have increases the likelihood you have more. For example, I might sound like I'm claiming to be special when I have three, but the most common are two or three, if you have any.
that person is my brother. when i was 5 he bit me because i didn’t lend him my toy. i had to get stitches, and the scar is still embarked on my flesh.
5 years later he started to pick fights and verbally abuse me, calling me a slut or a bitch yet i was perfectly innocent then, but i didn’t tell my parents because i thought i was being a good sister protecting him. it wasn’t until 3 years later, during another argument between him and mum that i reached my breaking point and strangled him with a belt because he’s beating my mum purple and blue. i only stopped when my mum begged me to. then i slapped him.
and i still have to live with him until september.
pathetic, i felt like one of those girlfriends who got abused by their boyfriends so bad yet still said ‘he’s not always like that, he loves me!’ yeah, right… he doesn’t.
soon after i lost faith in people around me, even my own parents. i lost faith in god. i lost faith in myself. i wanted to die. and yet again, i was held back by the thought of selfishness and aftermath damage i would have cause if i really took one step forward from the edge. i m stuck in the middle. i m weak. i m a coward. i don’t have the courage to end it all, but i don’t have the courage to tell someone either. the only ones i do tell are strangers because they don’t know me, so they won’t sympathise me, they would only listen or not for all i care.
i feel better now, but i m still questioning myself. my brother is still calling me names, but he had not laid a hand on me ever since.
of course he’s still lying, manipulating and deceiving and the parents still believes him and i m the only one who could tell every single time. still couldn’t tell them tho, i love them, but the death threat awaits.
it is me or him, but i do it because i don’t want to be locked behind bars.
he’s travelling for a summer program in the mean time and i have never been happier. sadly he didn’t die on a plane crash. even if he did i would have to fake cry in his funeral. before he’s back, i’m going to take my time seasoning his bed with chill powder and insert syrup in his keyboards because this just came into my head… as a life long revenge…?
no, really, i’m surprised that i still haven’t seeked revenge yet.
It's weird how I was just watching videos about crushes and I came across this video...
Turns out my crush is a psychopath
Hi are u fan for Billie
hahaha, you guys drew buffalo bill from the old west instead of buffalo bill the psychopath serial killer from silence of the lambs.
i'm not surprised. this channel is dumb as all hell and it still put the video in the category of "education" which is the biggest joke.
Chief Mojo Rising If you found this clip "dumb"? I suggest you look up Dunning Kruger Effect.
I think it was supposed to be a joke aspect of the video.
W
yeah, that confused the hell outta me.
Yes, someone actually does come to mind:
Yandere Chan
More psychopath, info Chan is more sociopath
Infinitylazer Wolf sever? :) spelling nazi here!
why was my first thought santa claus before i clicked read more
She is a psychopath
Btw chan is just a title for girls. (Not adult) Yandere is a psychopath because look at the lengths she goes just for herself.
5 isn't completely accurate.
But in general terms, on average, it's largely true, just not completely.
Why people depict sociopaths this way is because it makes it easier to hate the sociopath if one truly believes the sociopath is devoid of feelings of guilt, empathy, etc.
Neurotypical's are capable of some extraordinary cruelty all on their own, but feel a certain responsibly after because they too don't want to get caught and face the consequences.
They are often at a loss to explain themselves aswell, and then comes the shame and fear of being found out, this is no different from the sociopath, it's human nature.
