But I've read from "Snakes in Suits" that the reason they go out of their way to do something when they see a problem is because they calculate the opportunity to get something out of it.
Psychopaths are angry people & by default: narcissistic trait + high conflict personality Beneath the charming smile they are boiling volcanoes that are easily provoked. They hate rules or anyone who reminds them of rules. They are easily offended. These people exact revenge. The type of people who wont sleep until they plan their revenge. After many yrs that plan will still be executed.
He talks about "genuine emotions" like they are the precursors to taking action to help someone. However, you don't have to "feel for" somebody to know that they need help or are suffering. It's much more of an environmental cue than an emotional response... In other words, I think it is possible to help someone in need without empathizing with that person. They respond to the situation by tending to the victim, because that's what is practiced externally. Your emotional foundation is internal.
So...yes-ish. You can know the right thing to do and act on it without getting that emotional buzz or tug. I think the decision is still internal, but the decision can be based on seeing a need and meeting it, rather than feeling empathy and acting on it to get a different feeling.
Amazing description of the x2b. When I found out about his living a double life throughout our marriage. He couldn't understand why I didn't want to stay married to him. Mind you, he didn't want to stop having affairs, he just wanted me to accept living this way. When I made it clear the marriage was over, he become a whole different person with rage and anger towards ME. No care for what he has put me or the children through. It's my fault because I choose I am worth more than I won't accept it
After being exposed to a group of individuals, who appear to suffer from this, I noticed that they appeared to have some sort of information processing deficits. I think it is definitely worth looking into as a study. As far as them having emotions or not having them, I believe they learn in which way they should respond to specific situations, and that it can be done without having appropriate emotional responses and/or emotional triggers. Example, lack of appropriate hand gestures, body language, language usage, language usage in conjunction with applied meaning(s), facial expressions in relation to specific situations.

The pictures at 19:50 are a good example of a myopic and focused brain of a psychopath. not being distracted by words that contradict the pictures and ignoring them is like a psychopath is able to do things that most people normal people would struggle with. like running into a burning house to save child ignoring the dangers of a broken beam that is about to collapse the house or a chocking a child and ignoring the pleading for mercy, screaming and crying.
Psychopaths are not rescuing anybody from a burning house, because they coward, maybe later on they lying about it to someone and claiming they saved people.
@@jerrykronberg2569 what do you mean they're a coward, psychopaths literally put themselves at risk without even a second thought. Weak desires are met with weaker impulse control. Considering it to be cowardly assumes the capacity to fear, with so many psychologists have established is essentially impossible for a psychopath to experience. Wasn't it discovered the only proven test that guarantees every single person would be able to experience fear was to induce high levels of C02 into their blood, to trick the body into thinking it was dying? I mean, you hear stories all the time of psychopaths involved in combat zones for example, I think thats fairly similar, they would most likely idolize themselves for being a war vet and saving people.

i think its more that they want to stave off boredom, so whether thats doing something nice for someone that might give them a bit of a thrill or doing something bad that will give them a thrill they will do it
BOREDOM yes. The driving force. How people can be content with the same thing over and over again is beyond me. When I joined the military I couldn't be honest about why I joined (I was bored with life and it seemed new and interesting) so I made up some cliche excuse because everyone was asked when they arrived why they joined. The idea of being honest didnt seem like something I wanted people to know. and guess what happened 3 years later, I got bored, very fast. after all the NEW was over, and it was old, I was done. See ya. I HATED that. constantly looking and never finding. because once something gets boring, you get annoyed, when you get annoyed you get resentful and when you get resentful you get vengeful....and it doesnt get any better the further down you go. Those sayings about idle hands are true.
Boredom yes, boredom is almost painful. But what person (psychopath) does to stave off boredom tells you something about them. There are always other options.
Psychopaths are highly valued in business, religion/cults, government, police and military as leaders - people who follow through with "The ends justify the means.". This video nearly totally avoids this reality. Most psychopathic leaders, enjoying the "get out of jail free" card. usually avoid prison, jail or even prosecution due to their high value status although they may be neutralized when they double cross their handlers, become a liability or are no longer deemed useful.
Yes! What the psycopath does isn't necessarily what they want to do. We choose to wake up every day and decide to follow societies norms...or not. It takes a lot of effort to keep the mask on though sometimes we get on autopilot and the mask is so tight we don't realize its on. Once it comes off...we have to be so calculated with everything because we know each interaction is a chance to manipulate. At least that's my understanding of myself at this time as a middle aged mom of 3 and wife. There is a subset of people with psychopathic traits that aren't studied (or at least not widely available) my traits have been suppressed and transformed my whole life. Now I see the inner struggle I've had. I have watched everyone around me "find themselves", the whole time I'm just mirroring what I like about them and combining into "me". Kinda freaky.
It was freaky for me, watching my ex take my traits I've always had since birth. My ex had no knowledge of volunteering and kindness. Then after we broke up, my ex couldn't/wouldn't stop saying they were a volunteer and kind. "I like helping people." my ex told other people and I watched the other people look at them in admiration and support. Thing is though that was ME, not my ex. They didn't bother until they took that trait. It was scary to watch because they even dressed like me after (got my usual hairstyle). So who is my ex? Part me, part someone else? Who knows.
Sometimes, they've learned to ignore the emotions. I know that, personally, I've become particularly reckless in my day to day because I'm getting used to not caring about stuff. If I see a situation that looks threatening, I charge right at it, as if it defied me. I've always felt that it's particularly worrying that the choice to feel remorse is something that I have. I've been told that it's something that in most people happens by default, but I've always had to consciously choose it.
I think it is the other way around, psychos dont have a choice, but to act by their inclinations. Whereas humans chose not to do certain things and chose to consider others for the benefit of all, as societies. I think it is a choice for everyone, but we make these choices early on and stick to it, while psychos never chose, they are left to act out in every individual instance, without a basic principle or value to follow.
Paraphrasing: A psychopath's drive for their goals may be less than others, but if they even have a thought about doing something, they act without thinking. "Weak urges breaking through even weaker restraints."
thats an interesting idea. whereas someones normal anticipation release of dopamine would be moderate, a psychopaths being higher might explain why they're so unable to control certain behaviors being that alternative considerations are so much weaker. or perhaps it spikes in the anticipation, AND the act instead of disappearing in the actual act.
@@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 Sounds about right. I saw an article, last week, showing they're finding the Striatum is approx.10% larger. Four early studies: 2 here. Longbeach and U. of Ohio?
I'm glad that they're starting to differentiate between people with psychopathy and people with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Really, all I needed was to express glee at arson, vandalism, stealing, fighting and generally breaking the law (which, let's be honest, is fun) to be labeled antisocial, which OKAY I won't deny. But simply having a record and being callous is enough for a personality disorder that'll get you to be assumed of as a psychopath, which is NOT the case with me.
To summarise- So your sense of fun includes harming and impacting on others which indicate that you don't feel enough about others harm not to put that first and prioritise ur own need for fun of how your perceive to be fun.
Sound wonderful not to bear shame and guilt. Nor other emotions that only torment us and shut the man down. For those afflicted with such poision, there can only be failure.
@@SuperBloopie The president of the United States is a narcissistic motivated by inflating his ego. Super insecure, super fragile emotionally. He's really dangerous. If he had no emotional impairment he'd likely be a better president. but obviously a psychopath wouldnt be a good one either. emotions aren't necessarily good or bad. its based on what they're used for. But yes I agree its a tool. like a hammer. you can use it to build a house, or you can use it to hurt people. science, you can use it to cure cancer, or use it to make an atomic bomb to annihilate billions of people. psychopaths seem like the core nature of what human beings are in terms of animal-relations. We often use emotions to disassociate ourselves with animals, putting ourselves on a higher platform, but psychopaths simply....exist...like animals. the lion doesnt think about the consequences. a primate will use a child as a shield to protect itself against another primate about to do them harm, if that child is the offspring of that primate that wants to do them harm, threatening to kill the child and will kill the child. completely logical.
@kasualdec It is definitely a disorder. I was married to somebody who has it. Seriously hellish experience. I got out when he turned violent, tried to suffocate me and threatened to kill me. Just cause I cought him on some of his lies and horrible behavior and told his family. He of course denied everything to his family (about suffocating me, cheating, lying etc.,) and told them that I made that up and I am psychologically unstable! Those people are monsters! BTW his mother is like that.
i have a question; how does it help to diagnose pschyopathy? its not like we can actually treat them, and its not like everyone would want to be treated, its like me with my aspergers, they offered to *treat* me, but in affect they are saying allow me to adjust *you* to a *you* (that we can all like) sure its psychology, but its part of what makes a person who they are.
As a psychopath, I've had a lot of people suggest I might have Asperger's (I know they're moving away from that term) but there are some key differences. I do think a correct diagnosis could be helpful, because there are issues that would be hard for a "normal" person to understand. But I think to get there we'd have to understand antisocial isn't necessarily criminal or malicious. I agree with you that there's a degree of embracing who you are, but knowing something is "normal" for people with your condition and "here are ways to deal with it or focus it" can be helpful.
It may not help the person with the diagnosis, but it has been helpful to ME... to recognize that I would be mistaken to deal with him /her like other relationships. This has helped limit the damage.
Like Barbara said, it helps people who are in relationship or are friends with one. Knowing helps inform others who are uninformed to be aware. Most humans on this earth don't know such beings exist. I didn't until my first psychopath. I dated a psychopath, a real mind bender one. Need a clear picture? Think Johan libert from Monster meets Kyubi from Modoka Magica. Well, after I dated that person I met another psychopath. I probably would have stayed in that second relationship for a long while but since I knew about psychopaths already I knew what I was dealing with and to act appropriately and with caution. (I.e. Leave asap)
my surgeon seemed that way, was completely uncaring but he does good work. you gotta be a little different to not mind cutting people open all day I guess. wouldnt have dinner with the guy but id go back if I needed another surgery
So psychopaths dont get deoressed thus they dont care about the consequencies of losing friends/family and romantic relationships, wow this talk made me see a things differently.
interestingly enough, the sexual fetish surrounding leather and latex is often associated with the connection of its similarities between the contact of human beings that one would experience infancy with your mother. If you notice latex, its skin tight, its taught, its glistening like skin can glisten. I think skin suits are a bit too hollywood morbid to be practical. How many people do you know with the medical capability to remove someone's skin.
You're mad because I'm exposing the true nature of empathy? Besides, if you're a consequentialist, so you should not care if someone is psychopath or not. According to your own belief system, it's only the result that matters, not the properties of one's self.
If altruism is the Unselfish concern for others, so of course I can dismiss altruism by showing that it's selfish. "I have no belief system" So why do you think the result is what MATTERS?
The psychopaths who like sadism and pain are many. The ones that don't are few and far between. I've been reading the comments on the video and some psychopaths say "Not all of us are bad", and it's true, maybe you aren't. Maybe you are the lucky few who doesn't need sadism. But most? Most like sneaking into movie theatres, popping tires, running red lights, driving fast, getting someone fired, pretending to be pregnant, cheating with a married man to watch his marriage fall apart, picking on a classmate, etc. All done with a happy smile by the psychopath. Just like how there are more meat eaters and vegitarians combined, than vegans. The same thing applies. Some psychopaths can be good, but majority aren't.
I'm pretty certain I do. There are shades of difference between psychopath, sociopath, and ASPD. Psychopathy is something you're born with. It has obstacles, but it also has strengths. The ability to detach can give you a cool head when others are panicking. It can help you push past fear to do what needs to be done. You just have to put some effort into learning to read emotional cues from more emotional people and translate your thoughts into terms they can understand. Learning to be mindful of my body language and expressions and tie them to what I'm thinking has helped. Particularly being mindful of when I'm tired or in a social burn out state...cause I'm more likely to do/say something antisocial when my energy is low. Boredom issues...just try to channel it to something positive. Learn things. Create things. Do (helpful/productive) things.
It's more shallow emotions or affectations and though a very focused action by a psychopath that can be positive it is more a drive or accomplishment with little to no emotion e.g. a psychopath who is a surgeon is very focused on saving a patients life while opening them up, is of the same level of emotion of when opening up a victim in a dark alleyway. the "emotion" would be likened to elation in achieving an objective. winning a Nobel prize or or putting a severed in a fridge is still an achievement to a psychopath if the fail safes of emotions of like fear, guilt, remorse, disgust are not appropriately switched on.
I think the real danger is when you combine psychopathy with an abusive childhood that's when you create the Ted Bundys. Like say mixing alcohol and pills a dangerous cocktail mix
@@elijahjames8837Ted Bundy was a fictional character pushing the FEAR program in more masonic whirled theater. The same act-whore that played George W. Bush also played the role of Bundy. As Shakespeare said “ the whirled is their stage”.
There are bigger things. The downfall of man is arrogance. It is this, which does not allow us to accept the truth when faced with it. Lack of empathy can be overcome when we realise why we are here and follow the guidanxe sent. That is we exhibit the necessary emotions, joy at joyful occasions and sadness at sad occasions, however not with the intention to deceive. We somehow think we are being rational and logical although it may be nithing more than arrogance. Let us search for truths and know our purpose. If humble oueselves and start with how much do I really know. I for one know very little but if I sincerely search I can do no more than this.
So psychopath basically is where they lack empathy and that’s there reason to break the law nothing else just lack of empathy so that’s why they think they did nothing wrong because they felt like that they can’t get caught
So as someone who believes they are a psychopath after a lot research and self reflection. (Prosocial, I suppose. Not criminal.) I try to help people, but it's not an emotional decision. It's a values based decision. I've accepted the idea that all people have value. If someone needs something and I can provide it, why not? It's uncomfortable and weird for me when people thank me, because that wasn't the point. I don't need that affirmation. It was a thing that needed to be done. Likewise if I can't do something, even if I see the need or know someone is hurting, I don't usually feel an emotion...because what does that accomplish? I agree it's not a matter of never having emotions. But they're generally muted. And it took a lot of work to both understand more emotionally based people and to learn to speak their language, so to speak. .. Anyway, I liked the video.
My ex is a sociopath/covert narcissist/sadistic sadist. (Essentially, my ex has the soul of Ted Bundy/Jody Arias, minus the killings) I am glad you are able to help people and are trying to do good. This makes me happy and believe there is hope. :)
@@specialtwice4975 I think everyone has the capacity to change, but it is hard to break patterns. I was very privileged to be raised by loving parents who taught me well, so they taught me good patterns to start. It also helped that I accepted Christ early...so a world view with a God helped establish my own values and gave me direction, even when I wasn't *feeling* particularly sympathetic. I have seen people and known people to make significant changes and become better people. But whether they're emotional or not, there's a choice that needs to be made. I hope ex chooses to be better. But I'd be sure to watch and see that their words and action match any claims of improvement. Otherwise, may be best that they're an ex.
you can still be one without harming animals. plus you might not have triggered a condition where you had a chance of harming an animal. Everyone has these capacities, its just a matter of what would likely trigger you to act on them. For example, if you were starving to death, you'd likely have no problem killing an animal. even if it was your pet.
Dehumanization does inadvertently happen what you categorize psychopathology as something to be fearful of... as they clearly do in this video. Degree is a better way to go about this, a spectrum if you would, like they did with the autistic range of psychopathology: autistic spectrum disorder. Too often do people misinterpret degree with that of kind. There are different kinds of personalities, not people. There are different degrees of humanity, not different kinds of human beings.
Honestly I appreciated this video. I've seen much worse. This doctor says some really positive things about psychopaths and their potential. I do think there are similarities between psychopathy and autism, but the low emotional effect and lack of natural empathy are a key difference. Labels can divide, but honestly finding the psychopath label helped me put a name on how I was different. But it helps seeing people who have to come recognize it as a condition rather than a curse or "born evil".
Psychopaths on both ends mate. Gotta realize that. You can be pathologically republican and pathologically liberal. Centrist is where the smart people are at.
But I've read from "Snakes in Suits" that the reason they go out of their way to do something when they see a problem is because they calculate the opportunity to get something out of it.

Thank you! Very informative.
So , their emotions are like radio signals? Like they can't tune to certain signals...but it's there
Sound wonderful not to bear shame and guilt.
Nor other emotions that only torment us and shut the man down.
For those afflicted with such poision, there can only be failure.
lol, poison? it's a tool, not a poison. it allows one to reach his goal faster and with less limitations.
@@SuperBloopie The president of the United States is a narcissistic motivated by inflating his ego. Super insecure, super fragile emotionally. He's really dangerous. If he had no emotional impairment he'd likely be a better president. but obviously a psychopath wouldnt be a good one either. emotions aren't necessarily good or bad. its based on what they're used for. But yes I agree its a tool. like a hammer. you can use it to build a house, or you can use it to hurt people. science, you can use it to cure cancer, or use it to make an atomic bomb to annihilate billions of people. psychopaths seem like the core nature of what human beings are in terms of animal-relations. We often use emotions to disassociate ourselves with animals, putting ourselves on a higher platform, but psychopaths simply....exist...like animals. the lion doesnt think about the consequences. a primate will use a child as a shield to protect itself against another primate about to do them harm, if that child is the offspring of that primate that wants to do them harm, threatening to kill the child and will kill the child. completely logical.
That "poison" characterizes normal human beings. For us, the horror lies in someone's having no conscience, as seems to be true in your case.
If you make a lot of people rich then you are allowed to do just about anything.
It's more a case of being socialy dysfunctional. They don’t share the same rules and boundaries that 99% of the rest of society does.
thats basically rewording the term "pathological"
It's called self gain. All about them.
Period. Game over.
I complained to the marriage counselor that there was something
Missing in the thinking of my husband. He had no understanding of what was too much to ask of me. He was sucking the. Life out of me
@@sharonnugent408 That is what they do best take and take and give nothing in return. I hope you found support and strenght to quietly leave.
The host went to Wisconsin university, Forward Thinking.
I bet the psycoligist is just an actor.
Wish I knew where to get the soundtrack for this music
@kasualdec It is definitely a disorder. I was married to somebody who has it. Seriously hellish experience. I got out when he turned violent, tried to suffocate me and threatened to kill me. Just cause I cought him on some of his lies and horrible behavior and told his family. He of course denied everything to his family (about suffocating me, cheating, lying etc.,) and told them that I made that up and I am psychologically unstable! Those people are monsters! BTW his mother is like that.
Your husband was probably a neurotypical who was also an asshole. True Psychopaths are extremely rare. Less than 0.7% of population.
Wow what an awful experience for u and gaslighting.
15:06 ... a clockwork orange, anyone?
i have a question; how does it help to diagnose pschyopathy? its not like we can actually treat them, and its not like everyone would want to be treated, its like me with my aspergers, they offered to *treat* me, but in affect they are saying allow me to adjust *you* to a *you* (that we can all like) sure its psychology, but its part of what makes a person who they are.
As a psychopath, I've had a lot of people suggest I might have Asperger's (I know they're moving away from that term) but there are some key differences. I do think a correct diagnosis could be helpful, because there are issues that would be hard for a "normal" person to understand. But I think to get there we'd have to understand antisocial isn't necessarily criminal or malicious. I agree with you that there's a degree of embracing who you are, but knowing something is "normal" for people with your condition and "here are ways to deal with it or focus it" can be helpful.
It may not help the person with the diagnosis, but it has been helpful to ME... to recognize that I would be mistaken to deal with him /her like other relationships. This has helped limit the damage.
Like Barbara said, it helps people who are in relationship or are friends with one. Knowing helps inform others who are uninformed to be aware.
Most humans on this earth don't know such beings exist. I didn't until my first psychopath.
I dated a psychopath, a real mind bender one.
Need a clear picture?
Think Johan libert from Monster meets Kyubi from Modoka Magica.
Well, after I dated that person I met another psychopath.
I probably would have stayed in that second relationship for a long while but since I knew about psychopaths already I knew what I was dealing with and to act appropriately and with caution. (I.e. Leave asap)
This really scary, but i know a surgeon who fits the definition of psychopath exactly
my surgeon seemed that way, was completely uncaring but he does good work. you gotta be a little different to not mind cutting people open all day I guess. wouldnt have dinner with the guy but id go back if I needed another surgery
Looks like Groucho knows what he's talking about.
🤣👍🏻
Good stuff... The more studying the better:)))
So psychopaths dont get deoressed thus they dont care about the consequencies of losing friends/family and romantic relationships, wow this talk made me see a things differently.
this is getting a bit personal eh
I already knew that... it was the skin suit I'm making in my basement that I can now explain..
interestingly enough, the sexual fetish surrounding leather and latex is often associated with the connection of its similarities between the contact of human beings that one would experience infancy with your mother. If you notice latex, its skin tight, its taught, its glistening like skin can glisten. I think skin suits are a bit too hollywood morbid to be practical. How many people do you know with the medical capability to remove someone's skin.
You're mad because I'm exposing the true nature of empathy? Besides, if you're a consequentialist, so you should not care if someone is psychopath or not. According to your own belief system, it's only the result that matters, not the properties of one's self.
Looks like professor Robert Winston had his head shaved.
Or if Robert Winston & Groucho Marx had a child 😂
@@thejollyrogers9808 🤣🤣🤣
If altruism is the Unselfish concern for others, so of course I can dismiss altruism by showing that it's selfish.
"I have no belief system"
So why do you think the result is what MATTERS?
Psychopaths should be in prison they aren‘t always there. They are predators chosing their victims and hurting them one way of another.
The psychopaths who like sadism and pain are many. The ones that don't are few and far between.
I've been reading the comments on the video and some psychopaths say "Not all of us are bad", and it's true, maybe you aren't. Maybe you are the lucky few who doesn't need sadism.
But most? Most like sneaking into movie theatres, popping tires, running red lights, driving fast, getting someone fired, pretending to be pregnant, cheating with a married man to watch his marriage fall apart, picking on a classmate, etc.
All done with a happy smile by the psychopath.
Just like how there are more meat eaters and vegitarians combined, than vegans. The same thing applies.
Some psychopaths can be good, but majority aren't.
Why, what did he do?
uh oh, the words in the picture didn't slow me down at all......
Uh oh, looks like you need to get your eyes checked...
I always worry that I have this.
I'm pretty certain I do. There are shades of difference between psychopath, sociopath, and ASPD. Psychopathy is something you're born with. It has obstacles, but it also has strengths. The ability to detach can give you a cool head when others are panicking. It can help you push past fear to do what needs to be done. You just have to put some effort into learning to read emotional cues from more emotional people and translate your thoughts into terms they can understand. Learning to be mindful of my body language and expressions and tie them to what I'm thinking has helped. Particularly being mindful of when I'm tired or in a social burn out state...cause I'm more likely to do/say something antisocial when my energy is low.
Boredom issues...just try to channel it to something positive. Learn things. Create things. Do (helpful/productive) things.
Haha...if you're worried you 'have it', I can assure you, you don't.
It's easy to tell if someone is psycho and you don't have to come on here to find out..
It's more shallow emotions or affectations and though a very focused action by a psychopath that can be positive it is more a drive or accomplishment with little to no emotion e.g.
a psychopath who is a surgeon is very focused on saving a patients life while opening them up, is of the same level of emotion of when opening up a victim in a dark alleyway.
the "emotion" would be likened to elation in achieving an objective.
winning a Nobel prize or or putting a severed in a fridge is still an achievement to a psychopath if the fail safes of emotions of like fear, guilt, remorse, disgust are not appropriately switched on.
I think the real danger is when you combine psychopathy with an abusive childhood that's when you create the Ted Bundys. Like say mixing alcohol and pills a dangerous cocktail mix
@@elijahjames8837Ted Bundy was a fictional character pushing the FEAR program in more masonic whirled theater. The same act-whore that played George W. Bush also played the role of Bundy. As Shakespeare said “ the whirled is their stage”.
There are bigger things. The downfall of man is arrogance. It is this, which does not allow us to accept the truth when faced with it. Lack of empathy can be overcome when we realise why we are here and follow the guidanxe sent. That is we exhibit the necessary emotions, joy at joyful occasions and sadness at sad occasions, however not with the intention to deceive. We somehow think we are being rational and logical although it may be nithing more than arrogance. Let us search for truths and know our purpose. If humble oueselves and start with how much do I really know. I for one know very little but if I sincerely search I can do no more than this.
So psychopath basically is where they lack empathy and that’s there reason to break the law nothing else just lack of empathy so that’s why they think they did nothing wrong because they felt like that they can’t get caught
So as someone who believes they are a psychopath after a lot research and self reflection. (Prosocial, I suppose. Not criminal.) I try to help people, but it's not an emotional decision. It's a values based decision. I've accepted the idea that all people have value. If someone needs something and I can provide it, why not? It's uncomfortable and weird for me when people thank me, because that wasn't the point. I don't need that affirmation. It was a thing that needed to be done. Likewise if I can't do something, even if I see the need or know someone is hurting, I don't usually feel an emotion...because what does that accomplish?
I agree it's not a matter of never having emotions. But they're generally muted. And it took a lot of work to both understand more emotionally based people and to learn to speak their language, so to speak. .. Anyway, I liked the video.
My ex is a sociopath/covert narcissist/sadistic sadist.
(Essentially, my ex has the soul of Ted Bundy/Jody Arias, minus the killings)
I am glad you are able to help people and are trying to do good.
This makes me happy and believe there is hope. :)
@@specialtwice4975 I think everyone has the capacity to change, but it is hard to break patterns. I was very privileged to be raised by loving parents who taught me well, so they taught me good patterns to start. It also helped that I accepted Christ early...so a world view with a God helped establish my own values and gave me direction, even when I wasn't *feeling* particularly sympathetic.
I have seen people and known people to make significant changes and become better people. But whether they're emotional or not, there's a choice that needs to be made. I hope ex chooses to be better. But I'd be sure to watch and see that their words and action match any claims of improvement. Otherwise, may be best that they're an ex.
@chuckstar666
This is all pretty accurate actually.
I couldn’t be a psychopath I like animals.
you can still be one without harming animals. plus you might not have triggered a condition where you had a chance of harming an animal. Everyone has these capacities, its just a matter of what would likely trigger you to act on them. For example, if you were starving to death, you'd likely have no problem killing an animal. even if it was your pet.
Do they really know anything about these people?
No lol
You're funny. :)
har har har. *clap clap clap*
I can't get over his lisp.
someone had a lisp?
Ted Bundy doppelgänger
Evil or psychopath or both
Dehumanization does inadvertently happen what you categorize psychopathology as something to be fearful of... as they clearly do in this video.
Degree is a better way to go about this, a spectrum if you would, like they did with the autistic range of psychopathology: autistic spectrum disorder.
Too often do people misinterpret degree with that of kind. There are different kinds of personalities, not people. There are different degrees of humanity, not different kinds of human beings.
Honestly I appreciated this video. I've seen much worse. This doctor says some really positive things about psychopaths and their potential. I do think there are similarities between psychopathy and autism, but the low emotional effect and lack of natural empathy are a key difference. Labels can divide, but honestly finding the psychopath label helped me put a name on how I was different. But it helps seeing people who have to come recognize it as a condition rather than a curse or "born evil".
@detriplea yeah...i dream of lighting that place on fire...wadda ya say Chuck Norris...
good
Wait. Psychopathy? Huh. I always thought that was just called being a Republican.
Psychopaths on both ends mate. Gotta realize that. You can be pathologically republican and pathologically liberal. Centrist is where the smart people are at.
@@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 you're just a loser centrist who wants to make himself feel better than others
