What is it like to go through life with psychopathy? psychopathyis.... Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight by M.E. Thomas Available in Paperback and Kindle www.amazon.com...
What’s interesting to me is that her emotional pallet is basically what people perceive as perfection and similar to how many people imagine heaven. No fear, sadness, guilt, fear of judgement etc. it’s almost like psychopathy, which we almost universally recognize as an inhibitor of progress in life is also the goal we’ve set for ourselves. I wonder, if it were possible for a person to experience her reality for a short period of time, if it would be as euphoric as someone might imagine the absence of negative feelings to be, or if it would be a terrifying memory. The human mind is a strange thing.
Yes, its called lack of empathy. If i do something bad to someone else and then feel bad cause of it i might not do it again. And others might not do it in the first place cause they can already anticipate that it will make them feel bad and not be worth the emotional stress. That + laws etc. helps civilization to work on a certain level. If noone would really care and just make decisions without ever involving empathy.. i think during covid 19, if we had a house of 10 psychopath world rulers, they would have just let most of the old people die, etc. cleaned house a bit with the people that are not needed.
This is why so many people idolise psychopaths and have such irrational ideas about them, even when said psychopaths would stab them in the back at first opportunity. They envy their complete immunity to any limiting societal psychological factors in their lives. It sounds "alpha" and "assertive" to not care about what others think, and this appeals to our monkey brain. However, living as a psychopath is not heavenly. If you look into it, psychopaths are very prone to depression and boredom because their lives are so devoid of meaning and value. They cannot connect to other people, they cannot find joy in interacting with society, they don't care about other people's happiness, hell, even ideals like humanity's happiness are irrelevant to them (most fictional psychopaths have a strong rational moral compass - real psychopaths don't). They get most of their entertainment from chasing adrenaline and sadism, whether physical or psychological (such as ruining innocent people's lives). So no, it wouldn't feel heavenly. It looks heavenly to people who think psychopathy is just doing whatever you want, but any normal person would find this existence empty. It would feel like living in a world completely devoid of people.
May be being honest in this minute, but she’s leaving out a lot. She says it’s painful to be a teenager with feelings so it was easier for her because she doesn’t care about what other people think of her. They don’t only not care about what people think of they just don’t care about others at allor anything psychopaths are never honest
Psychopaths rationalize emotions and that's what makes us go thru life without people even noticing it. That does not mean that we're immoral or evil or willing to hurt people. But yes, there are those with complete absence of empathy, they don't necessarily need to be psychopaths.
@@SLqB11 You are rationalizing morality. If you do not have empathy or if you've never chosen to help others and instead, put yourself first, you are indeed, evil. With all due respect, my suggestion is to speak with a vetted, Christian Pastor. My suggestion is to ask Jesus into your life. Mark chapter 12 verse 30 through 31. Romans chapter 10 verse 9 through 11. Also, Mark chapter 9 verse 23
Not caring what people think is very freeing. That is one thing we can learn from psychopaths. But I draw the line at giving up your sense of kindness, compassion and empathy for others. We must hold on to that. A way you can learn from them is let’s say someone criticizes you for something like eating too much or not cleaning your house..something that doesn’t hurt anyone…smile and don’t care.
That has nothing to do with how psychopaths approach life. You are still using your sense of empathy, but reinforcing it with rationality to determine whether certain things are truly morally unacceptable or merely the result of intimidation tactics by narcissistic or insecure individuals. Psychopaths don't evaluate what they do on any moral basis. If it benefits them, it's good, if it doesn't, it's bad. Torturing someone just because it might make their day less boring is perfectly fine. The reason why they smile and don't care is because they think of everyone else as pawns and objects.
Naw, you either have them or you don’t. Human emotions aren’t really things you can just turn on and off. Also overeating and being dirty are degenerate behaviors, so if people are criticizing you for it, it’s probably gotten to a point where it needs to be evaluated
I applaud her honesty regarding her as a psychopath I know most narcissists can’t even be honest to others at all including there partners I wouldn’t trust her still I appreciate her honesty and it’s better you tell people who you really are that way you won’t have high hopes to be possible into someone life because sometimes people want friends and enjoy someone company with a psychopath you won’t get any friendship with them at least a real friendship with them your going to be disappointed and let down because they won’t be there when you need them by your side especially in a worst case situation like a passing of a loved one.
As someone with autism, I wish I would care less about what other people think and dare to take more risks. It's kind of inspiring to hear that it doesn't have to be that way. Even if I would never want to renounce every form of empathy.
Everyone saying that not feeling negative feelings would be great and that not caring what others think would be great. It’s actually really isolating and affects relationships to friends and family because they won’t feel you care about them when you are failing to grieve with them and when you are turning a blind eye to their worries.
Many people are in a current crisis, or haven’t developed adequate tools (are young or immature) so it seems like turning off all emotion is the solution to life. I love my feelings, even the difficult ones. They guide me and inform me of things that are important.
I'm hyper sensitive with depression/social anxiety and I kinda envy her with not giving sh*t about nothing,what others think,no need for affection or having friends..just being happy all the time..
It's really interesting to see that she clearly has a complete understanding of empathy and although she might not feel it, she might still display signs of showing or giving empathy towards something especially how she mentioned going through school for others must've been really hard. That in itself is her showing empathy.
There's been a study showing that psychopaths can, to a very limited degree, put themselves in someone's shoes, but in practice they just use that to predict and manipulate people better. They have no real understanding, or desire to understand what the person themself is feeling. That's not really empathy. Empathy implies relating to a person and having *some* connection to their feelings, achievements, values. I may not jump from joy when a complete stranger gets cured of cancer, but I understand that it's a good thing. And I can understand these emotions and values even if they don't directly lead to benefits for me. Not so for psychopaths. If you think you're seeing empathy it's either because they've learned to superficially say these things in an emphatic way, or they're intentionally lying to make you trust them. In the example you mentioned, psychopaths are defined by narcissism so they think that normal people are inferior and pathetic for having lives and experiences of their own, and will rationalise using them as playthings if they are not directly useful to them (not out of any moral justification, mind you, but moreso when objectively explaining what makes them target them). I imagine "I don't know how you got through high school..." is a way of wording that mentality in a more politically correct package.
Yeah, it is interesting. She does have cognitive empathy, but not emotional empathy. Essentially she just reads people, without feeling what they’re feeling. No doubt therapy has helped her converse in a way that is more palatable for normal people as well. It’s advantageous to her to sound relatable, even if only superficially.
That's not clear at all. Sure, she knows the language around it and definitions she's read or has been told, but she's telling you point blank that she doesn't actually know what those things are actually like, necessarily.
It's called cognitive empathy and yea, it's a lifesaver for us. We might stumble a few times but it's always possible to learn where you went wrong, especially since when you're like this from birth and you can passively study your classmates as they age
It's so fascinating listening to her explain her experience. I wonder what it's like to be in a monogamous relationship with a psychopath. Whether such a relationship could be satisfying and how it would be governed. Perhaps through utility, perhaps through contract - perhaps through love?
BTDT You realize you have no "relationship", you are just an object, they bond to no-one. It "satisfying" until you realize it's all fake, they are just using you. Note this woman is waring a mask, this is NOTHING like what she is in reality. If you want to learn more, never learn it from a psychopath, it's a million lies. They tell you what you might want to hear.
Psychopaths don't feel love. They can feel some entertainment from interacting with others (on a more muted level, given that they lack access to deeper emotions that people use to connect with things on a more complex level) but it's the same feeling you might get from playing in a sandbox. It's completely devoid of any deeper meaning, and chances are you'll get bored quickly. If one day their partner stopped being useful to them, i.e. they got bored of them, or the partner refused to do them favours, or the partner got injured, and at the same time the psychopath decided they're really curious to see what the inside of a human looks like, they'd do it without a second thought. The only thing that would stop them is the threat of jail, or the lack of future benefits they could squeeze out of the person.
I was diagnosed with aspd and i can say with a good amounts of certainty that a psychopath atleast in my case cant really form an emotional bond like love but i can form a bond through enjoying being around you like a friend, However in the case of a relationship the treatment would be more inherently personal and maybe sexual ergo, i must display affection. like @nikobitan7249 is saying. I cant truly be affectionate but i can enjoy being around you enough that in my mind the affection i would show you can be used as a payment to further keep said relationship. The bond that may occur would likely be something like: "this person makes me happy so i will keep them happy so they do not leave" and "if i they do not make me happy i will leave". yes it is a bond which is emotional but not on the same level as a normal person would. Its very self serving and the affection you would receive would not be real affection but more of a tactic to keep you around to continue to make me happy. making you happy and feeling loved is just a method of achieving my own happiness and if i did not need to do that. I would not
@@nikobitan7294 Psychopaths aren't all the same. Like with any other disorder, there's a range. Some actually desire to, and live a pretty normal life, with a partner, trying to be normal and good.
I think this series is pretty incredible. I would applaud her vulnerability, but then again, she technically doesn't have that, because it would require her to feel a sense of susceptibility to judgment. Which also begs the question - is it ethical to put this on display? Because she can't feel the exploitation, but in a way, could it be like putting someone up with a low IQ and them not understanding the stakes of what they are saying? She might not be understanding the social implications of the things she is saying and how many people might see her as a societal nuisance or worse...
I don't see a problem with this. She doesn't feel emotions, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand them. She knows, given how smart she is, the implications better than you and I, I'm pressuming.
I'm sure she knows how psychopaths are perceived by the general public, she's had to deal with it in her life, but doesn't care. She seems very capable of consenting, she shouldn't be treated like someone akin to a child who shouldn't be allowed to do interviews because it might reflect poorly on her, she has the right make choices too.
I think anyone who judges and disparages this woman, for who she is, needs to look at themselves. Being vulnerable and baring your soul to the world takes courage and humilty. (Even of they can't feel it) Everyone wants to be accepted in the world. I've just 'come out' myself. Being a covert narcassist. Alot of things she spoke about I could relate to. It's refreshing actually to know there are other damaged souls out there who are going through the difficult journey of changing themselves. All we want to feel is 'normal' and develop a sense of self... Its a horrible knowing, you feel depressed and empty all the time. If you are reading this, please try and put yourself in this lady's shoes. Yes, she may have odd reactions such as smiling at inappropriate times, but why zoom in on that. Why not be grateful to her for opening up which would inevidetably help millions of people either protect and educate themselves. If you were a psychopath would you be game to publically open up, knowing the stigma? It makes me angry reading negative comments on people who are being real. Rather we praise and idolise celebrities who are more fucked up as everyone else. But they wear the mask because thats how they want to be seen'. I can speak from experience that i was so fearful telling anymore let alone admitting i had a personality disorder. Because i thought i would loose all ny loved ones. It was quite the opposite. I received more love and compassion. Because for the first time in my life, i was being 'real' with myself and others. That inspired me to really own the fake person i developed. Ive learnt that we cant change unless we accept, forgive ourselves and let go... So i can build a new person. And confident i will through the Dhamra path and meditation. Somehow society idolises people who seem to be happy and have their shit together. Holding onto a facade for the outside to see. I think of most celebrities... How miserable, self absorbed they are. The pressure to keep up the smiles... Fake fake fake. Yet we idolise them. The poor celebs probably dont even know they are suffering. Then they kill themselves because they see their emptiness and dont know how or where to get help. So please try and have compassion for us. Even those who havnt recognised it within themselves If you have been burnt over by a psychopath or narcassist, im sorry to hear that. Ive burnt people also. Im not proud of it, and certainly feel shame. But the one thing that can cripple a narcassit is compassion. So please people, show your support to this amazing woman. She is giving the world a great gift by sharing. And giving a voice to the other f*** up suffering souls out there like myself, to recognise these patterns within themselves too and seek therapy also. Jessica - Brisbane/ Australia
Except those things you would be "free" to do, might put you in prison. It's fear that prevents you from hurting someone if they offend you. Now imagine that fear isn't there...
Im a psycopath but if you meet me youd never know i didnt even know i was blind to it you wholdent tell the diffrience we do get scard to we just think its fun i heard someone say its like if a normul person got super drunk like the mind lack sense but youre super energtic like you driving a car with super speed i never noticed that i tought i had ptsd but im kinda ready to run from danger all the time like danger is alwayes around youre very susspicuse but you also think life is great at the same time think of it like this youre in a forest its very dark and infront of you there is a gaint paython snake and he cant kil you he is not allowed he can kil everyone els but not you becuse the snake is you but when the snake looks around everyone looks like him so he trys and live a normul life
I’m not a psychopath but on the fear note I never feared riding my e bike until I had an accident the other week and ripped my chin open down to the bone If I had landed on my face it would have taken the end of my nose off or knocked my teeth out We have fear for a reason
I find her sporadic lack of eye contact interesting. She makes eye contact briefly but the majority of time she focuses her gaze off to the right. I interpret that as her not wanting people to really make a connection with her.
She could also be completely deceptive. A couple hallmark traits of psychopathy is lying and adjusting their behavior to make those around them believe a certain agenda that will somehow benefit them. Sure, she’s copping to not having empathy… doesn’t mean she’s being truthful about everything she’s saying. She flat out says she doesn’t care what others think of her, so how is anyone supposed to believe a word she says? Not saying that she’s 100% being deceptive … just saying there’s a good possibility.
@@ryiningZollln y’know, you’re right, maybe I dove in too quickly with judgement. I’m just a little gun shy having experience with someone with ASPD who tormented me most of my life (and constant lying was a big part of that) . It’s difficult to come out of that experience and not think that everyone else who shares the diagnosis isn’t always lying. My trust had been obliterated. And it’s going to take a lot of work to heal that. My legitimate apologies. Not sure how my comment makes me “passive-aggressive” or a “gossiper”… but I can admit when I’m wrong.
@@ryiningZollln Hey, I really appreciate you sharing that and I can totally understand how my first comment came off as insensitive. I can’t imagine what that’s like to have those traits and live with the widespread stigma that ASPD is attached to serial killers and criminals. So I understand your defensive and barbed response. The thing is, I’m actually well aware that ASPD is on a spectrum, like anything else, and that it’s rare for sociopaths and psychopaths to be violent or criminal offenders. I have been following Athena Walker’s Eye of the Storm Substack for about a year… (if you’re not familiar, look her up!), so, tbh, I surprised myself with my initial comment. I thought I was trying to be unbiased by saying: she may or may not be deceptive. But that comment was really a snap judgement based on my own personal experience from a family member who I strongly suspect has ASPD, that has left me angry and traumatized … and with very little trust. (Also, I guess i was under the impression that it’s uncommon for those with ASPD to have insight/awareness into their disability. And, if they do, to seek help. Please correct me if I’m wrong about that). I do have to say, though, that my experiences are very real and I’m not alone. As I said, I have a close family member who has emotionally (and a few times physically) abused me since I was a very young child. He’s stolen from myself and my whole family my whole life (he’s wiped out whole bank accounts); he’s a pathological liar and a master manipulator; and he 100% can never admit to any sort of wrongdoing, no matter how small. He can break into terrifying rages at the smallest insult to his ego or if accused of anything. I could go on and on. To my knowledge he’s never been diagnosed with ASPD and I know that I can’t diagnose him but ever since several years ago, my therapist suggested to me that he seems to have traits of ASPD , I’ve obsessively been researching the subject and I’m willing to bet a lot of $ that he’s a sociopath. And he really only unleashes his “terror” (for lack of a better word) on those closest to him (ie his family, his ex-wife, probably his current wife, his son…) otherwise he is very charming, very intelligent, very funny. Just wanted to let you know where I’m coming from. So, anyhow, again, I apologize to you and to the subject of the video. I really appreciate getting to exchange our stories to better our understanding. Going forward, I will be conscious to speak my opinions with more sensitivity and a much more open mind. I wish you well.
I suffer from Dysthymia, and have had many depressive crises throughout my life. By the way, I'm fighting against one right now. I envy her for not suffering because of what other people think and how they treat you. That's a big part of depression.
um I've been dealing with depression caused by PTSD for my ENTIRE LIFE and have literally been hospitalized for it and no one has used the term "dysthymia" around me before..... THANK YOU. This seriously seems to hit the nail on the head of the specific type of persistent depression I experience. And I'm dealing with a really bad "flare up" currently. This comment just gave me so much solace because I can now delve deeper and research more. Thank you, I really can't say that enough.
@@TheRainbowGal I wish you the best. I've been better lately, with the help of Logo therapy in the writings of Dr. Viktor Frankl, especially 'Man's search for meaning'.
It’s so fascinating to see a psychopath talk knowing it is one, but also understanding that they’re speaking truth and not lying. I have met a couple psychopaths before and they had the sort of same kind of thing(?) when they would tell absolute truths or be completely honest, you could just kind of tell.
I think fearlessness, not caring what others think, and not being sorry can be just a sign of intelligence and awareness of Lifes meaninglessness while others rushing around, so serious, caring so much about things that soon won't matter not ever even thinking about or realizing how meaningless life is and thinking there's something wrong with a wiser grip on reality
@@N8Flowers Well, general population build common life meanings, values and goals to achieve, and most people feel deeper connection to life with all the dimensions of it, rather than living empty and ruthless one. Its hard to do, but most people respect meaningful life more than cruel and careless one.
I believe it would be like a fish in water not "feeling" or "knowing" it is in water. So neither euphoric nor traumatic. Consider you fear heights while another person fears mushroom. Or that you enjoy the smell of onions while another does not. If you were to then trade bodies, your new lack of fear of heights and disgust of onions would now just register as "normal" to you.
My ex would look off to his right like that too. Before I realised what a liar he is, I always wondered why his body language looked like he was uncomfortable... this lady is exactly the same
that's a myth. it's true that right-handed people _might_ look to their right when fabricating a story, as a left-handed person, i do the opposite. some right-handed people can function the way i function, and some can literally look you in the eye while lying
This rule (which is hardly true), is not something you want to rely on with us. Do you really want to pretend that we feel any shame when we lie to you?, we can look at your eyes perfectly fine and make all the right expressions, that's simply all there is to it. If someone is a bad liar, they won't be grounded in truth and there will be fault in the story, look for those faults and confront the person with it, know how they will attempt to spin it around on you, so make sure you're ready to defend your point calmly.
To clarify... its not a rule that they look a certain direction every time, I worded that badly. I just noticed at times he seemed awkward like that. Absolutely right, they can look at you with direct eye contact and lie blatantly to your face. Eventually I learned his routines and caught him out red handed or on email enough times that I couldn't trust a single word he said. There would be the sympathy manipulations where he would tell me I was the only one who cared about him, while he was organizing sex with another random hookup. Friends fathers who died/'funerals attended ' so he could go on dates, work trips etc etc. Just gross. It was the best and absolute worst time of my life, and the charmer has since made a point of trashing my reputation as much as he could. Just gross.
Not a sign of lying. People Look to The right when they imagine how to relay information in The Form of a story. It's used when a broad generalization IS made. Details are omitted so that a general view IS given. The exceptions to a rule are Are added later.
I read some reviews by her former students. Her name was Jamie Lund, though she may have changed it to Townshend. I don't know what she does now, but few law firms will hire someone who admits to this on the web. They say that she had a creepy stair when she was a law school instructor.
Why? She's probably the type who defends corporations, busts unions, draws up eviction notices even when they're illegitimate, fights veterans not get their benefits and their widows
I would really like some help identifying a possible Psychopath! He manipulated me so completely that I honestly still can't tell what was real and what wasn't... And my strength is behavior analysis! I don't know if there's just people who carry traits of Psychopathy and are simply extremely manipulative? Or if being surrounded by God fearing people his whole life would force him to have a better moral compass! Or if it was all pretend and He's just an extrEmly good actor, liar, and manipulater.
Sorry to hear about your experience. They can be extremely manipulative and quite good at it depending on where they are on the spectrum. I had a bad experience. Took me 10 years to wrap my head around it. Its mind boggling how good they get with time with their games.
The feeling of utter emotional morality dissonance. The lack of guilt prohibits her feels of the sense of wrong or “immoral” conduct of her actions . Much as when a child gets spanked for a bad action, the child would feel guilt or shame from the punishment, much like her she would question why the actions would be reprimanded and quickly dismiss it . Strange but fascinating
Bravery? Not on her part. One can only be brave if one has fear. Ergo, psychopaths can't be brave. If anything, this is an experiment for her out of curiosity
As the ones above me has stated, we cannot be brave. Being brave inherently means that a person is afraid and is still capable of overcoming such a thing. The correct term would be fearless although that's not always the case, phobias are actually something that can affect us normally.
I'll tell you what it's like - it's great; you don't have emotions getting in the way of day-to-day activities. Your obviously disconnect from some people (e.g. people don't understand why your not upset about something that they are upset about), but I've found the emotions like empathy are there, you just have to "turn them on". Likewise with fear - your brain doesn't see an issue with a particular task/situation, but the body is signaling that something is a really dumb idea so you kind of have to turn on the emotions to see if there is fear and, if so, why.
It's so funny how she is frenetically blinking in order not to forget blinking. Psychopaths do tend to blink less. This exaggerated blinking is part of her mask. In this situation, neurotypicals might understand it as a sign that she is feeling nervous. But it's kinda weird that she's feeling nervous when she also seems so confident. A neurotypical who doesn't know she's a psychopath would probably think that she's an emotional, but also laid-back person who doesn't express her feelings much. Her mask is well crafted. I would like to see a video with her mask off. But I understand that this would not be a good thing for her public image, so it's out of question lol
@@coronacruiseship It's not a criticism. I like analyzing psychopaths and people with abnormal psychology. I had met a few in the past, some of which were my friends. I knew beforehand that they are psychopaths before our friendship started. It's good to understand the natural behaviors that we neurotypicals perform without being aware of
my mom psychopath, and despite ditterent face, all dynamics very similar. Mom tend to blink a bit faster exactly as in this video in case she trying explain complex things, like long chain of events. In normal she blink much less.
0:45 ‘most of the time I would be feeling things like uhhh.. joy.. you know the happy ones right?’ This truly conceptualises how a psychopath doesn’t feel anything positive. Her happiness, joy, charisma is all a facade. She has no way of describing the emotions, because she has never felt them. So the way she describes them, compared to the other descriptions of other things she does, Is lacklustre.
@joanarc7963Yes, it’s astounding to think that they don’t feel anything at all. Nothing. Emptiness. Just as you and I feel remorse for an innocent soul in distress, individuals such as her have no such capabilities of doing so. This of course raises the moral question of whether they should be allowed to raise children. Saying yes could potentially mean passing on these Machiavellian and narcissistic tendencies on said children. Saying no could be countered by the question of whether or not it is even their fault to begin with, that they have been inflicted with such a curse of the mind and soul.
Keep Occam’s razor in mind as the narrative shifts with these individuals. Pay attention to the sequence of ideas being presented, the intentions behind them, and the outcomes they aim to achieve from you. Observe the condescending tone and demeanor in their speech and actions, as well as the patronizing attitude and smirk. Always remember who you’re dealing with-apply Occam’s razor.
Are all of her smiles and giggles fabricated? And if she wear to remove the "mask" wouldh she just be sitting with a stone cold face, explaining things with no contrast?
@@wishesandfishes They generally feel positive emotions from adrenaline, extreme excitement, sadistic joy etc. It's unlikely to be merely from interacting with a person, since everything they feel is so muted, and most of happiness we get from interaction is empathy-based (from feeling understood, relating to others' experiences, sharing your own etc.).
They are likely real, we can get some form of excitement by finally talking about why we are how we are. Personally I often laugh with others but never alone, I genuinely enjoy interacting with them and studying all their strange quirks, people are predictable yet never fail to surprise me, so there's fun in it. This isn't to say I don't get my joy from thrill seeking, playing social games and the like but it does make it easier when the boredom can be quelled for a short time with conversation
These videos kind of scared me to see... Truly honest question: How far from normal do you perceive these people to be ? On a scale of 1-100 1= these people articulate how I am and see the world exactly. This is the normal way i perceiving things 50= these traits are extremely subtle and it would be extremely difficult to differentiate them from the avg everyday person. 10= this is unimaginable to think this way, how does a person think like this?
I appreciate her candor, and self awareness, and I appreciate this series of videos. What I find so distracting is what is she constantly looking of to the side to? Looking to the right on a subconscious level is accessing the creative part of your brain no?
To be “disconnected from the common well of human caring” might be nice sometimes - but what a nightmarish existence. No love? No thanks! The quote above is from Martha Stout psychologist & author of some great books on Psychopathy.
Oh ya I love going fast too! I feel things when I go fast I dont feel anything most of the time. My motorcycle is broke down atm and I really want to ride it FAST!
@johntate5050 calling myself a psychopath is defining who I am by antisocial personality disorder. Being defined by a disfunctionis simply something i refuse to do. It is nice however Knowing there are others who expirence things the way I do.
@kceline123 I never had any real childhood trauma. I simply observed that I was different from other people, and now I know why. I count it as a blessing not to feel the same social pressures that everyone experiences.
Don't care what it's like for her to go through psychopathy than she cares about drowning possums or suffering pets and people - anyone but herself. Only here to leave this comment. I watched one video of hers about the possum. And that's all I needed to hear. Did she ever consider that She's the pest? None of us are trying to hose and drown her though. But I'm not interested in helping her out any more than she helped the possum. People like me are too busy helping victims of people like her.
I am a Christian, but also a psychopath. The only difference between me and my fellow Christian brothers & sisters is that, unlike them, I HAVE no fear of God....
Sounds crazy (no pun intended), but theres a slight part of me that envies her. I know thats an extreme, but I'm personally on the complete other side of the spectrum in relation to her. Its gotten better as ive gotten older, but its still a detriment. I care way too much about what other people think, and I'm always having to please EVERYONE (impossible I know). If I let someone down, even if its trivial, or if i cant help someone in certain situations, it just eats at me and consumes me to where I feel anxiety and worthless and my blood pressure coming up from the guilt. It's horrible. Ive always dealt with depression and anxiety, and I feel that theres no reason I should feel this way, which in turn makes me feel worse because I feel guilty for being depressed. Theres also a part of me that believes I dont deserve to be happy. Everyone deserves to live the best life possible, but not me. It would be nice to not feel anything, and have nothing or no one getting in the way of what I want to do or accomplish.
She may not have cared what other people thought about her but psychopaths also don’t care about others. They don’t care about their well-being. They don’t care about their feelings. They just don’t care about others not just what others think of them psychopaths are very good at lying, manipulating, and making it sound a certain way.
I'm only in part 3, but doesn't she need to take some kind of pleasure in causing other people pain to be a psychopath? She's said nothing like that so far...
Judging her actions is a wrong way to go about this. She’s not a bad person for doing this, she’s a different person. It would be detestable if she understood why it was wrong exactly, she does not, she just did. Basically just remember some dumb stuff you did as a child before you learned what empathy is. It is not relatable sure, but it is understandable.
"I'm a psychopath and do skiing which is dangerous" 🤓🤓🤓☕ laughs in War. Would be interesting to see how "psychopathic" she'd be in house to house combat
What about people who sort of black out and attack people? They do not realize what they are doing. It is like they are watching a video from inside of themselves of them as they attack someone then they sort of snap out of it to realize what they are doing. Is that psychopathy?
All the psychopaths i've known care massively what people think of them, it's more that they don't feel embarrassment, but they do want to be seen as alpha when they're often not. Bullies who want to be seen as asserive, etc. Sex offenders who want to be seen as actors. Psychopaths believe their own lies, and often seem to be grandiose.
Could say the same about empathy and emotion. Why would you feel bad about another person's misery if it doesn't affect you in any way. If anything, the suffering of others is quite enjoyable.
@@jelle7yes it really is I’m a diagnosed psychopath and I typically don’t care for others well being or feelings because the half of their personal feelings such as anxiety or depression or empathy ,I just can’t relate.
