Most psychopaths have these 3 characteristics 

It should be "Anti-Societal" PD given that 100% of the population knows that anti-social is indeed to not like social occasions. But go ask the introverted psychiatrists in DSM IV why they f*&k'd this up. Because indeed the whole daft definition of ASPD is unworkable outside of prisons. Hence, the continued common usage as psycho/socio-path. Whereas 99% of the descriptive terms I learnt 50years ago are now, rightly, cancelled. But not these, go figure US psychiatrists?!?!?!

Well said and thanks for the clarification

maybe a better word for introverted/passive people is "respectfully non-social". They prefer to keep to themselves and not "engage". Yes, thank you for the clarification.

Yes, I've heard a lot of people call someone who is actually just an introvert antisocial. My new neighbor once told me I couldn't be antisocial and live next door to her. She is clearly quite my opposite as I am definitely an introvert and when she first moved next to me she would knock on my door every. Single. Day to ask me or tell me something she could have texted or called. I think we almost drove one another crazy for the first three months. I had to tell her several times I didn't have anything against her, I just prefer to keep to myself a lot. We do often have conversations now and we help one another and share food when one of us has something we may have to share. But when I have a lot on my mind I just want to be alone to be able to think about things bc the more other people give their input the more I get confused. So I generally think about things for a while and when I feel like I have a solution I may run my idea by someone I trust to get their opinion. And I do like her and trust her a lot so I do talk to her about things and she talks to me about her situations. I like people it just takes me a while to warm up and I'm not much of a conversationist and not good at small talk.

words can have multiple meanings. Is it hard for you to understand?

Ah... Phew.

I think lack of conscience is indicated by "antisocial behavior across a wide range of domains."

EXACTLY 💯 %

Oh lord-my last bf😂😂😂

@@jennaynay420This video doesn’t exist so you can absolve yourself of accountability for your former relationship failures

This is due to their high iq. Most psy have iq of 150 or higher..

I think you are spot on and the video is wrong. The idea that people who think the world is full of bad people are bad people themselves is nonsense. Those people are victims. They are traumatised. I agree with you. Psychopaths believe the world is full of naive people they can dupe, not full of people like them.

@@specialtwice4975that’s not true. A study on intelligence and psychopathy by Brian Boutwell and his colleagues at St. Louis University found that psychopaths generally have below-average intelligence. What you’re saying is just used in films. In truth, most psychopaths and sociopaths studied have been caught. Most studies are done in prisons with those who have failed to hide their psychopathy. If most have genius IQs, we will never know.

Of course he did..🙄

And you still love bad boys, bad boys bad results.

But everyone does do it. They just lie to themselves. I just don’t lie to myself but it and I respect that others don’t respect what I do

​@@mealovesyuI don't cheat in school or with a partner

I've found that he doesn't say this but is always accusing others of doing things he does, like stealing and lying. The old "takes one to know one" quote comes to mind here

​@mealovesyu everyone does not! But in this video, she did address one who thinks everyone Is just like they are. Makes me 👽 wonder if you're a psychopath

@@jenn-and-juuce true, he/sh could be a good example of the subjects being referred to in the video. We have long long lists of things we don't do and will never do.

I think other people are dumb and I’m not psychopathic.

Yessssss it gets me so frustrated when people say “antisocial” when they mean “asocial” 😂 nonexistent colloquial difference, giant literal difference

yup. Friendly as long as it benefits them.

@@katierojas8066you might just be eg, Some people are actually smarter than most other people. That’s ok. You might not be, in which case you are showing signs of an inflated ego.

Do you base it in presumptions or sent them thru lie detectors or even checks kleptomanias or all across the board

Asocial would be a better term for the reclusive.

It can be that as well. Anti-social can mean "against" social norm or "in place of" social norm. Example would be a psychopath compared to an introvert, respectively. I am, of course, going off the ancient Greek root meaning of "anti." It was widely used for "in the place of" as opposed to "against." Unless I am terribly mistaken.

Whenever I talk to someone about anti-social behaviors I always have to explain to them what it actually means because 90% of people don't know

Hey, could you advise on how to deal with people who may have that? Is it better to stay around or to walk away? I know a person who I suspect may have it, but she's planning to see doctors, or at least was planning to. She wanted to see them because of something else, but you never know what may come up, and either way, maybe she'd change after. I don't know if I should wait for it, this time doesn't seem to be coming yet but she was planning to few months ago ;; I care about her, but it's really difficult, and she hurts me without ever seeming to acknowledge that She's like... Let's say that you'll say that something she said feels rude to you, or hurt your feelings, so she'd mix you with mud, swear, remind you how little you matter and say tons of hurtful things, and in the end will expect you to apologize and say that she's giving you last chance. I mean! I don't mean to hurt her feelings by saying that she said something rude, so yes, I do apologize. But she says that her actions are caused by you. You made her do all of that. She never apologizes. And just says in those moments, or in general, that if you want her to change you need to change yourself, because she's a mirror of people and it won't work any other way. And she has nothing to do about this all and you're the one at fault. She often says how replaceable people are and reminds you every second that you can be gone from her life. And everyone. I don't know. I don't understand. It's just hard. It doesn't seem like she cares at all often, but then she sticks around in the end? Other than those moments I like her and I feel like I should stay around to protect her for some reason. I don't think she needs it it's just that it feels this way and I don't want her to be alone or leave her idk And it's not just me, she's easy to quit everyone, over the smallest seeming things ;; But at the same time she talks to people in a very unfriendly way and then wonders why people don't want to be around her Idk It's sad She probably doesn't have that, now that I think about it and wrote it all, but something else? I think she has anger issues, and I don't know if these can have them And she does seem to care about having people around sometimes Meaning she did express many times wanting to have people who care about her She says others company doesn't matter that much but at the same time she really wants to have someone physically around her and said that many many times ;; and thing like hugs or head pats or something are things she wants a lot and make her happy so i think she does need people? But I just really don't know what to do about her because she gets angry¿ (I don't know if it's the perfect word) really often and it's really overwhelming but at the same time I'm really attached to her But she doesn't seem to care about me much (or others mostly, but that still doesn't make it easier)

@@er3275 This feels so familiar that I wonder if I knew the same person years ago (it’s more than likely a different person). She was exactly like this, with a few other personality traits along these lines. She was just a friend; we never dated, but she was obsessed with thinking I wanted to date her. Trust me - I didn’t. She had multiple boyfriends at all times and kept them hidden from one another in manipulative ways. She’d have one in town and one out of town, so she would never get caught. However, I was naive and always stuck around thinking if I’m just patient a little longer, she will eventually appreciate my friendship and treat me with respect. I was wrong. She actually ended our friendship one day at a restaurant. She used to order food, eat most of it, then complain so it would get comped. One day she ordered a salad and did that, then told me “I don’t think the waitress was very happy about that” in an angry way. I said in a very tentative manner “Well, to be honest, the salad was fine and you’ve done this before at this restaurant.” She absolutely lost her cool in the restaurant and never spoke to me again. And you wouldn’t believe how kind I had been to her for 7 yrs, going out of my way to be there for her when she was never there for me. She still owes me thousands of dollars that she manipulated out of me, but I’m so much happier to just not deal with her abusive insults and manipulations on a daily basis. A couple of her family members called me a couple months later just to say sorry she treated me so bad for so long. The crazy thing is - she was a therapist. If I were you, I would think of a kind way to just explain that your relationship/friendship is not good for your mental health and you don’t deserve the abuse, then walk away. You’ll feel stressed for a bit, but over time you will be much happier. I know I do, and I’ve even had a few friends tell me they are so happy to see me not feeling down and anxious all the time now that she is out of my life. Sorry for the long response, but this is honestly just a small sample set of the things she did (on a daily basis haha!) Good luck and I wish you well!

All psychos are narcissists same time. A quick test for narcissism is - if a person always looks good, dressed well, hair always in style, these are signs that they are narcissists. Well there might be exceptions.

​@@Zura_Lanch There are exceptions , trust me! If they don't have time to tend to their looks, because of illness or are verwhelmed by something, or they just want to cure themselves from narcissism, they would go out quite ungroomed . I have seen that myself.

@@Zura_Lanch I have heard this. My ex was not a conventionally attractive person but was very charming, and inexplicably would get really attractive partners. I wonder if he’s more of a psychopath than a narcissist but that the narcissistic tendencies were a byproduct of the sociopathy. He used to work in a psych hospital and one of the nurses told him, “I would bet money that you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder.” For a lark he took the MMPI (administered by her) and what he told me he is that he scored with “elevated symptoms of narcissism, sociopathy and histrionic personality,” so I always kind of leaned on that because it’s believable, but everything these people say is a lie. It could have been way worse and he tempered what the results were… and of course, “the nurse was so crazy!”

@@Zura_LanchGoodness - that’s not my narcissistic husband at all. He wears shorts throughout the whole year, even in minus 20 degree weather, he might just add long underwear if it’s really cold, doesn’t care if he goes out in public with a food encrusted t shirt or sweatshirt, And even when he goes to work, where he is a manager, he will dress pretty slovenly. I’ve given up long ago trying to encourage him to dress a little better but then I guess it’s good I save on clothes for him. He is supremely selfish and loves to overspend money we should spend on fixing things around the house or the vehicles on more and more guitars, speakers and stereo equipment than we can ever use. He bought an $8k Martin guitar this year, without consulting me, and we had to borrow the money, because he felt he deserved it because it is his “dream” guitar. Next he wants to buy a sports car because he’s getting older, feels he deserves it and thinks he’s going to die soon. Let’s hope so I say now. Well, at least he’s not a psychopath according to this lady’s list, just simply a malignant narcissist.

Gosh darn - well, yes, I guess it’s good he was honest with you and showed you who he really was. And good you were able to get out of that relationship.

Oh, Democrats, I get it.

Ouch. Good point

Yeah, but your chance of meeting a narcissist is close to zero, it's extremely rare across populations. Psychopathy is significantly more common in comparisson (still rare, but way more common). Just because someone is selfish or doesn't like to admit to his or her faults doesn't make them a narcissist, yet people throw that work around nowadays as if every other person is narcissistic.

@@YamiKisarathat’s just not true. Psychopathy is much less common than narcissists. Psychopaths are all narcissists. Narcissists aren’t necessarily psychopathic.

​@@YamiKisaraI think you've reversed these. Diagnosed and undiagnosed Narcissists are estimated at 15-20 percent of the population. Psychopaths are less than 1 percent. Because they're wired differently.

I truly think that we are all more or less manipulative. It IS part of our human nature in order not always to deceive but to protect ourselves We all do it out of fear or badness .

Sounds like a lot of the lefties we see at protests.

Because they lack it...or don't want to learn it...

Likely to show a strong habit of self-justification.

It's also becouse they know you stand your ground, and it would be harder for them to be manipulating and take advantage of you.

Yep. They know you can't be bought.

Mysister is a dangerous psychopath.i

​@@m_christine1070 thanks Phoebe.

Psychopathy and sociopathy aren’t the same. Sociopathy is a lot more common - 1 in 25 people.

That's Trumps M.O. perfectly. He's always projecting on to others behaviors he's involved in...like stealing an election since he was the only one who attempted to steal an election. We must now live with the repercussions of that kind of demented personality and the lies and estrangement in our own families it has caused.

I'm sorry you went through that. I can relate...

I'm sorry for your teacher though. I've faced classes that didn't want to do any work. It is extremely uncaring to the mortal humanity of the teacher, disrespectful to her irretrievable time and efforts to create meaning with it through her work, and the taxpayers paying her salary. I understand abuse can cause adolescents and kids to act without empathy as a coping mechanism. That doesn't make it not callous towards whoever they're using to cope.

So… the teacher thought something might be wrong with you and there was. 😔😕 Do you know that if you work in education it is actually illegal not to report behavior that you’re concerned about - particularly if you suspect abuse. You ended your post by admitting there were serious problems going on that she (or other adults) didn’t know about and that’s why you were behaving this way. You used the word abuse. Perhaps you’re looking at the story without the full picture. Because as soon as you said you were a child who was experiencing abuse, I was immediately more upset that the psychiatrist didn’t pick up on those clues. The teacher was around you daily, the “expert” just once (I assume). It sounds like you got your villains swamped. So sorry you experienced trauma. No child should have to. When I grew up and became an adult I came to a knew understanding of who my real enemies were and who was actually advocating for my health. I had my villains swapped, too. 😢

@@lieslvista The teacher assumed that the poster was a bad person, not that they were abused. Lets not pretend that there isn't stigma around psychopathy. The teacher was judgmental due to any number of factors, and the psychiatrist possibly missed abuse. The poster doesn't say whether they figured out that their behavior was due to abuse or not, and we shouldn't assume. There isn't enough information to make a villain out of anyone in this story.

@@lieslvista no. She didn't say something was wrong with me. She literally said I was a psychopath. She made a horrible, baseless accusation. The school counselor had known me since I was three and decried the accusation but wisely felt that if such accusations were being thrown around they better have proof. 1983 was a very, very hard year. I had just lost a friend to cystic fibrosis as well. I wasn't even in her class. She just heard the class laughing at the same time everyday, but the laughing wasn't everyday really, it was maybe once or twice a week. I think it was my way of covering my panic attacks. The nasty woman sought to put an awful stigma on a grieving, hurt little girl. I didn't even act out in any other way. I was a very obedient and respectful kid so... yeah she was wrong because she went off her take not even bothering to know or understand the situation, the moron just made the judgment because... kind of like how you have done. And no, the psychiatrist's take was that I was an extremely strong, very smart, little girl and that they needed to let me be... and they did. Thank god.

I had a principal ask if I thought one of my students was a psychopath after they threw a rock on top of an ant hill at recess. He said he was marking the spot so no one stepped on it. Turns out it was autism.

*perceived

HaHaH you said "half" ... perhaps a higher number butt I got your point

@@bubblechaser5369 I was honestly trying to be conservative... I don't know anybody who doesn't exhibit these traits in some way or other...

Got to spread a vague idea on social media. It’s the end of summer fall is almost here and things aren’t looking good right now lol

​@@joshuaohuka7719 Yes, everyone has some or all of these traits, but the difference is in what capacity they exhibit them. If you cheated on a test or a partner that doesn't immediately make you a psychopath, but if you constantly exhibit all of these traits to the point where it makes up your entire personality and affects your relationships with other people that's when it could be a personality disorder. Like for example, everyone has experienced anxiety but it only becomes an anxiety disorder when it disrupts a person's every day life

Yes! And the psycho's in the entertainment industry.

​@@andrew348Them? Not so much any more, they have upped their games, while the mental health/illness field have not, and have been giving the "wrong dx" to "regular" people that are having a harder time adjusting to the cost of living and their role as providers, while "mental health people" tell them "so everything is 2-4 times more money than 4 years ago?" "Get another job, eat only once a day, downsize! your family of 4 can just go live in a one bedroom apartment, who cares? Oh, and while you are at it, that streaming service you need, that internet too, cut it off, save your self some money. Watching those shows, shows you how to be a psychopath." Ok, ok, social, medical, financial, and mental sciences are so far behind in their duty to humankind, even rich or wealthy people do not know what to do with their wealth. Tax the rich, all over the world, to thrive. You are welcomed. ❤😅

Yup i didn't know better. But I dated one...

@@sandhiyad194 you might have only seen sociopathy twice, but I can assure you that you _know_ many such people. At 1-2% of the population there are roughly 7,000,000 sociopathic adults in the US, or roughly one such person in each 8 houses you pass each day.

Yep dated one finally got free wow this all fits her perfectly

I lost 2 babies and was made to feel like I should be normal the next day. My husband and mother in law showed no empathy and never attempted to emotionally engage with me. They mentally abused me and later said that I remember it all wrong.

That's the entire american culture, so good luck.

Exactly I'm so tired of these so called professionals acting like they know everything their is to know about the human personality.

Yep. That’s what happened to me. I trust to easily and want to think people are good but then get hurt because I’m too open or helpful to them etc. then I start to think people are just shitty. It’s not because of how I think to begin with or how I would ever treat anyone else but rather because of how I’ve been treated by some people. Also having low self esteem and growing up in abusive families can make people expect no better for themselves and continue to put up with bad treatment from partners or so called friends. That happened to me and now looking back I can see who my really friends were but I was such a shell of myself due to abusive family and then abusive relationships that I lost touch with the good people over the years. It really hurts.

That's why diagnosis requires a whole list of symptoms, not just one.

​@@ourliltoyboxBeats nobodies in comment sections pretending to know anything

The difference is the intention behind saying it: 1. I think people are selfish and therefore I'm going to keep to myself and avoid them. Trauma. 2. I think people are selfish and therefore they deserve to be taken advantage of and I don't feel guilty for doing it. The other one 😅 See the difference?

Excellent comment.

To me, this is a good résumé and words well chosen. It itched me a lot. What is your opinion: Do you think that a psychopath is automatically a bad person?

Sounds like a very simplified explanation to me. I think it's time people drop labels and start recognising that for most people evil is a choice and a spiritual force. Even kids can be evil but the difference is their brains aren't mature enough to process consequences so some don't fully process the effects of their actions until they're older. And they might look back and think "I can't believe I did that". So much is not fully within our understanding and I find it kind of amazing how we try to simplify issues or behaviour down to single words like "psychopathy". Sometimes it's a mystery why people do the things they do. And I think this is a reminder that there is something greater than us, than the here and now. It can't be reduced to clinical terms. The clinical terms are just a basic way of trying to understand it.

@@Crayon4632 but why do you label evil=psychopath ?

@@Ichi-San-1501 Because that's what people usually describe as evil. There are so many debates as to what psychopathy is and about what separates it from sociopathy that I'm inclined to believe some labels may be overused. That or "true psychopath" must be extremely rare or not what most people think it is. At the end of the day all we really know is that we know nothing, and that labels are mainly a way of trying to simplify our understanding of the world. Sorry, maybe because it's late, I've gone into a very philosophical mood.

Sorry you had to deal with that I knew a person who was diagnosed as autistic in their childhood. They went on to do disgusting crimes and more, and literally told me that they "use their autism as an excuse", multiple times. That person had severe narcissism at the very least

@@problematicgoose Would you claim a psychopath as your sibling?! She has gone out of her way to destroy every family member with her lies. So all her family, immediate and otherwise, have stepped away.

​@mygreywolf I'm sorry to hear this is the outcome of the relationship with your sibling. I am glad that you are in therapy for it though. Alot of times people have traumatic things happen to them and just go on about life carrying that weight around and do nothing about it when there is help and resources readily available, sometimes for free. Not getting help affects the way you deal with people, your work life, raising children, etc. I am currently dealing with this issue with my mother. She is not the person described in this video but she grew up and had some traumas in her life and it affected her parenting and other relationships. As an adult I brought this up to her a few times and her response was 'oh I'm alright' 🙄 I'm like you are not alright! You need help long time ago to help you work out some of your issues so that you could have been a healthier person all around and for us kids. Otherwise my mother is loving and not to talk bad about her but if you notice in yourself that your not alright and have had things go bad for you and you have a hard time dealing with it or notice yourself continuing to dwell on these things go seek help! I'm proud of you that you are getting the help you need and focused on your wellbeing 🫂 ❤

Mygreywolf- I am sorry you had this experience/trauma. Our oldest sister was our issue. She created such trauma, I got it worse. It’s long story like all. But I finally said no- I don’t have to go to holiday dinner. I have been doing therapy for a long time. My mom was also her target as she blamed her for everything. She was verbally abusive to my mother and she took it. She felt bad for her. My other sister would play nice for holidays, and again I stopped going. Then in 2016 she suddenly died- heart attack and I believe drinking and a lot of meds( she would claim everyone was an alcoholic). When we went to her apartment- wow- so many bottles and some glasses were filled. I felt bad for my mom- it was her daughter- her first born. But I felt nothing. When a family member is toxic, or sociopath- nobody should put up with it. Or make excuses for their behavior . Glad you are doing better and safe

@mygreywolf I guess I expected the word disowned somewhere. Ex could be like, dead or if they were an in-law then divorce...

Not all. But definitely Donald.

It's the three traits combined that make up psychopathy, not just the belief that everyone is selfish.

It can also be trauma and just not trusting people.

I think you missed the part where the psychopath projects his OWN negative traits (like extreme selfishness, dishonesty etc.) into everyone else in order to excuse his own malignant behavior because hey "I'm just like everyone else!". No, most people are not extremely selfish or humanity would be extinct. Most people have a healthy amount of selfishness aka self-preservation as a basica survival mechnianism. It's the psychopath and other people with malignant personality disorders who are the extremely selfish ones.

Ding ding! Thank you.

A pretty accurate worldview tbh

Wtf? The video had nothing to do with atheism or Christianity and you're parroting this 2007 atheist talking point. Get a grip.

My journey went from religion to atheism for a bit when I lost religion and then to still connecting with Creator but without the toxic filters of religion. I’ve spent a lot of time with atheists, including in philosophy clubs. What’s so SAD is that religion can be weaponized (as well as used for cognitive empathy guidelines for those without felt empathy for others) and the same thing for atheism! It was crazy listening to atheists using “science” to justify sexism and using twisted philosophies to justify the “necessity” of massive human depopulation. I’m glad I spent time in that community because I learned, some people may not believe in God but they have felt empathy (and therefore kindness) for humanity AND people who will use “science” and Darwinist-type philosophies to justify atrocities -just like religion has done! I just wish more people knew--religion has downsides big time but so does non-loving atheistic darwinistic philosophies. So many people right now, at this point in history, who are “well-educated” have been “educated” into very psychopathic thought bubbles! Ideology is ideology, religious or otherwise!

I’ve never once met a Christian, or any religious person really, who thought the concept of hell was supposed to produce good behavior. Actually, that idea is contrary to Christian theology, explicitly so.

@@Mr.RueBean Than you haven`t met any conservative or evangelical or fundamentalist christians and you definitely ignored all the believes of (catholic) christians up to a hundred years ago.

I have no supernatural beliefs also, and met a very wealthy very old man who was Hitler youth and basically said the fact that he is a devout catholic is the only thing that kept him from doing truly evil things. He's a pillar of the community.

Exactly! Lots of people agreeing that everyone acts like that-they don’t know what they are talking about. I dated one and he did just that; he studied how people’s emotions came out is certain situations and would carry on the same. Some of them practice in the mirror. The guy I dated could weep uncontrollably on a dime. Told me horrific stories of abuse growing up. All lies. Grew up in a normal middle-class family. He was like a chameleon and could take on any persona necessary to get what he wanted. No remorse, pathological liar. Did so many horrible things not just to me but everyone around him was victimized, some of them had no idea.

I spent 20plus years schooling my ex-wife on how to behave across a range of situations. Like a child constantly having to tell her when to say thank you/please, laugh/not to laugh, express remorse and so on. Indeed before our marriage ended I concluded I had three teenagers to bring up with no partner.... In between she too learnt how to mimic various things and now is punctillious in replying with a "thank you". The tell is that very often this is redundant but when it is most needed, for that extra mile, it is missing an/or seemingly insincere. For whilst they can mimic they can never be genuine My kids whilst being unable to articulate why, to my complete surprise, chose to live with me when the marriage broke up and not their mother. Took some time to comprehend they went through much pain too. I suspect like you as they age they will have less and less to do with her. Tough but as that is my preferred path I can't blame them either. At least you are well prepared to know and spot one. I foolishly married the ASPD woman. Shame on me.

Dexter comes to mind.

Testify against her and move away. She's e ville.

Dodged a bullet there!

She wanted to share valuable information with you? That's almost sweet!

That's the definition of a narcissist

Are you sure the accusations were false? Being realistic, most women will probably face sexual harassment in the workplace at one point. Maybe because I'm pretty, I got sexually harassed loads in my previous job. I just couldn't deal with the hassle of reporting any of it.

I forgot about this quote thank you. haven't heard it in awhile.

LA is a big place, and there are a lot of people either working in "the industry" or trying to. I worked as a stylist for years in that scene. It takes a very well grounded and confident person not to get lost in it, but it's personal choice. If you aren't there to be a celebrity or to work for one, it's not difficult to distance yourself from those types.

The first time I went to L.A. I was astonished by how phoney and angry people are. If I were in entertainment, I would live in NYC instead. At least New Yorkers tell you exactly how they feel.

Capitalism in general encourages psychopathic behavior and even rewards it. Capitalism is based on the premise that everyone is selfish and greedy. You could say it’s a psychopathic system. Unfortunately this is what American culture is about. When you know other cultures especially before they too became capitalist you know it’s not natural and that people develop different kinds of personalities in different systems.

@@dailybls Unbridled capitalism maybe. But it's the only system that has lifted developing countries out of abject poverty. Look at India, for example. And pre-1800s, most of the WORLD lived on less than a dollar a day. Why? Because monarchs ruled and kept riches from EVERYONE. Do you really want to go back to being a peasant? I don't.

@@Mmmmkaaay Very simplistic view that the choice is being a peasant under monarchy or worshipping capitalism. Others believe in the contrasting dichotomy of capitalism and communism/socialism. So at least three options here. And if you have a look at the so called inati system of the Tokelau people you already have four options. So I guess, if we would exercise our brains a little bit further, we would find an option that would provide prosperity and healthy social interactions to everyone in this world.

Well, that would have to be a Democrat...

Your dad was a jerk

Is his name Nick ?

Yep. We all know your describing Bribem Brandon without you specifically saying it.

I knew exactly who you were referring to! And you are right! 45 is all 3 of those traits that she described! 😮

Not true.

@@SlickArmor you could be correct, I wouldn’t really know how a thief truly thinks. Apparently you do.

@@heatherstrigens258 obviously. I've been a thief since childhood. I own it so good luck mocking me. I came from a good family so it must be genetic and yes, I can control it. I may be a kleptomanic I've never cared to research it.

"a..." - without "anti..." against

Should have been/should be "Anti-Societal" PD. Bad DSM drafters....

Why don’t we….take that slow lol Hopefully you don’t believe that but if you do, please understand that there are strict criterias as to who can be diagnosed as a psychopath.

Sleeping in is not morally weong, neither is overeating. It just shows a weak person.

​@@Bamboule05or someone who's Just struggling with something and doesn't know how to deal with this. This isn't weakness this Is just confusione about what you feel and have to do. Trust me: in my family I Always overeact and my Brother sleeps for very long periods of time. None of US Is emotionally weak. We made It though a lot of things, Always by ourselves because our parents are codependent... This isn't weakness this Is Just stress

She could be a psychopath, most psychologists I have met are weird, and look like the need for their counseling.

You just commented on a RU-vid video about psychopathy 😱

I see you. Lol. Good one!

Same I still go to the therapy sessions

Actually it describes Joe Biden and his son Hunter to a tee.

Projecting much? Truly narcissistic people damage their children and Trump's children are not damaged. If you watch them all together there is a lot of love between them.

Agreed. Also perfectly describes Hillary Clinton to a tee, works for both parties. Another year of bad choices for the people by the people

She is hoping that people can realize that themselves, even though it seems obvious.

@@michelangelobuonarroti916 true, but unfortunately there are way too many people that need the obvious explained to them.

A psychopath doesn't have a conscience, while a sociopath understands right and wrong but do as they please regardless. I fixed your message.

@@scorpionwins6378 Imagine tending to your fundamental needs first instead of letting yourself squashed by society and the abstract "Other."

​@@roses6564Yeah. Imagine people calling other people narcissistic and psychopathic (and or sociopathic) for knowing their worth as opposed to this societal "other" who we are supposed to care about.

@@ozfifer7392 Correct.

And so does the same go to Hated...

Sadly, those of us that have real struggles trying to just feel normal with low self-worth issues are often overlooked. Passed over for love and ignored.

That's like saying stay in an abusive relationship.

@@violetdusk1968 no, because I’m not suggesting one has to be in a relationship with the person, just to have compassion for them and consideration for their plate, whether it’s consciously on their part or not.

No.​@@storybellz

Being empathic also helps.

I think it means they tend to understand each other and respect each other - like grifters and con-men usually surround themselves with other grifters so they won’t get called out for their lack of ethics and morals.

This woman has studied psychopathy. That doesn't mean she is one. Psychopaths just recognize one another on instinct.

Empaths recognize psychopaths too and psychopaths know this

Psychopaths will like and validate an other one, that's why you see so much therapist invalidate victims, that's why police officer invalidate the victim, etc... They will never validate the real victim because they know they are not psychopaths...

Obviously. He has been a bully since childhood.

Of course, your professional analysis certainly doesn't apply to other politicians such as O'Biden or Kamala!

WoW because a group of narcissistic doctors decided to use a different term has literally NO bearing on what she said. You can’t be that dumb…

They get it wrong these days, especially putting Autistic and Aspergers together.

The DSM is largely untethered from a scientific understanding of the mind (which is extremely poor); it's more of a sociological treatise that changes depending on political winds, and its use is important for insurance/drug companies. Psychologists & psychiatrists like to use scientific sounding terms because science is equated with truth, and it bolsters the authority and power that they presume to have over others. 'Narcissistic personality' sounds a lot fancier and more official than 'selfish', and 'antisocial personality' is chunkier than 'mean', but that's all they're talking about.

"They" rewrite manuals all the time to change diffinitions and make it difficult for non-conformists (non-insiders) to present information in a "professional" manor. The facts of human nature/behavior have never changed, just the names or the classifications have changed. Anyone of us should be able to relate an observation of behavior without violating some technical reference and still use what has become common terminology. A psycho is still a 'nut job' by any measure ; ) and different from a common criminal or sociopath ; o )~

Your social media name says it all! Me Me Me

For an official diagnosis, maybe. But I believe psychopathic tendencies would be noted by a clinician even if it technically happens before the age cutoff of 18. Think of it as a touch of leeway. A permissable difference. Just like how some states have a cutoff score of 30 on the checklist and others have a cutoff score of 35. There's some leeway. It's marginally significant or whatever you want to call it. Many clinicians would call a child psychopathic.

Splitting hairs there

Right. They are individualistic society traits.

right? when you try to narrow things down to an average, its easy for anyone to place themselves in all 3 of these camps. if i take any person i know, i can make all 3 of these fit to them at some point in their lives. its like astrology or something

​@@booperdee2Psychological assessments are inherently going to be vague and just a "best guess" because we don't understand much about the brain. It begs the question, do these labels matter rather than just dealing with and treating the individual? However I do think she's oversimplified for the video and is actually talking about extreme versions of this sort of thinking that results in people doing things that actively harm others. For example "I'm really down and don't feel like doing anything this weekend" Vs "clinical depression". They have some overlap because we're all human.

Honestly it's also not a very good list. She doesn't even mention lack of empathy which is the number 1 indicator of psychopathy. If you really find stuff like this interesting pick up books by certified authors instead of watching videos.

@@stysner4580 because lack of empathy isn't always apparent. People with severe anti social personality disorder can switch empathy on and off at will. I read lots of peer reviewed journals and have worked within mental health. Don't completely discredit people like the woman in this clip. Aspd individuals can mimic behaviours very well to avoid being spotted.

@@foxInGloves Depending on how much access you have to observing the person, lack of empathy is very apparent. Of course if you talk with them in therapy sessions only, that's impossible.

@@stysner4580 I've worked on high secure and medium secure units. They can be incredibly charming and manipulative. I'm assuming you've had first hand experience aswell.

@@foxInGloves not in a professional setting, but I did interact with someone during college who I suspected was psychopathic. I thought high-functioning but he ended up killing his wife years later. He would also look very empathic but he often was too quick to return his expression to neutral or even looked disgusted when very inappropriate.

I'm so sorry that you're faced with this. I hope to God that you deal with it wisely as best you can. And when you are done, I hope you sleep well in knowing that your best is & was good enough. It is, after all is said & done, what you have to offer. I am taking a moment to be grateful that you & not another psychopath are managing the situation.

I believe YOU.I had coworkers who has had to pay/placate a particular child to be absent for a school inspection day bc he threaten to act up and make sure she was dismissed fm her job.😮

Really? Your homework is to work it out.

She just described my ex. She means they think they are best: the best catch, the smartest, the funniest, the strongest, the whole ego part thing. But they also believe everybody is just as shady them. Like for example if you wear make up, you do it to seduce men. That’s how ALL men think. Or if you just are friendly towards a man, he will think you are interested. ALL men are like that. Meaning he thinks women wear make up to seduce him, or when a woman is just being friendly towards him, he thinks she is interested. Or that ALL men are jealous or aggressive, they just hide they are like that. Hope that explains it to you.

I agree, they think "It's OK I am a shady lying jerk because everyone does that!" I had a conversation with a guy who said "The high road is just a game people play. No one is really like that." I went to a bible study that evening and they said the opposite! "I don't believe in the underworld, no one is really like that." Weird contrast day for sure but I understand in that moment how the creeps get away with so much. Cognitive disodence.... "I can't wrap my head around crime" or the reverse "I can't wrap my head around people can be good". Therefore they can't see it.

She's talking about the ability to justify the behavior when confronted, or if the thought ever arises internally.

@@littlerose9386 Thanks. This helped clarify.

Pathology just refers to the study of diseases

I disliked the video because it's a bad essay and doesn't give a good summary on what defines psychopathy to people unfamiliar with the subject.

She's a bozo

She didn't outline every behavioral symptom associated with psychopathy, and didn't claim to. This is just part of the equation.

Huh? What? What kind of low iq logic is this?

Invisible musical instruments and such?

@@kr4382 ​ @kr4382 That's not a problem most musicians do this when listening to songs. They are exercising their inner clock. If you do this while talking in front of a crowd or in someone's face then, yes that's a bit odd. I wouldn't worry about it too much. 🤔🤗🎸🎹🪕🎻🥁

This is complete nonsense? People use their hands to help them think and describe things while talking or to emphazise points they’re making, how is that psychopathic? How people express themselves are also tied to culture, it’s commonly known that Italians are very expressive with their hands whilst talking. By following your logic, I could make things up and say that people who don’t use their hands while they speak are too calm, calculated and unexpressive and therefore psychopaths lol

@@pigletness1253 Pay better attention to the smiley faces. 🤪😄Are you saying all Italians speak with their hands? Come on now!

Yes exactly a lot of things she described don’t sound like psychopathy. And all problems in the world are in fact people’s faults. So idk

Same as believing that all people are selfish has to do more with trauma I think. I grew up with a bunch of narcissists and my mom was most likely psychopathic to a degree as well as my dad although I barely know him, I also had a pimp and worked as a stripper for 6 years and met a whole bunch of creepy people in clubs who would say or do anything to get in my pants, but i don’t think that it makes me psychopathic for believing that most people are evil and fake, it’s more that I learned that my moms words and emotions were completely fake as well as some men and friends I had. (Two of my close friends turned out to have BPD) so generally at 25yo I’m very suspicious of people and i genuinely think that every time someone cries or says something nice to me that it is just a manipulation tactic to get something from me that’s why I can’t really express sadness or sympathy or gratitude for that person. Actually It makes me feel mildly uncomfortable so I usually just avoid emotionally open people altogether

My friend (an immigrant) also married a creepy guy from clubs who was very nice and bubbly In the beginning yet turned out to be a complete con man as he wasn’t actually rich as he pretended to be, he didn’t have a job at all and didn’t pay for his apartment for like a year. He also had like 3 different ID’s and didn’t even have a green card, he told her all that right after she had a kid with him and she got stuck with him, he would steal her money beat and choke her and later he would pimp her out literally and when she left him with her kid and went to a shelter he sued her for assault . He even lied about having pets to seem more nice and kept telling her that they are just at his moms place 💀now she thinks even worse about people than I do and can literally get mad if someone gives her a compliment or smth … so yea I don’t think that those things are psychopathic at all. I mean like that guy actually has a lot of friends who have no idea what’s his real life is like + it turned out she wasn’t the first immigrant “wife” he had

That’s like 80% of Americans

Gaslighting is always someone else.

Interesting 🤔 Certain domains have more narcissistic people than others, it's absolutely true. I used to work for a tv station and you can find more narcissistic personality in this field also. They see their faces in magazines, brochures, tv (of course), etc.

@@ClaraSunshine Psychopathy and Narcissism are not the same thing.

Number one thing I noticed when I was a realtor.

And corporate managers

​@@shakeyj4523narcissism is a trait of psychopathy, but not all narcissists will be psychopaths.

Yes this is true, many people wanted me to lead their clubs at school or wanted me on the school council. I hate responsibility so I avoid it, it would take time away from myself

That’s the personality trait for most of these politicians!

Lots of people fake empathy is what I’ve noticed

@@Chel10seait’s the majority of people, don’t ever believe otherwise

Yeah fake empathy often fools those who like to see the best in people. It's very believable. Especially if you've been burned before, you get told you're suffering with "anxiety" and so you stop trusting, or even listening to, your own intuition. You don't trust anyone but you put it down to having anxiety. You don't want to be alone so you just blindly trust the next person and the next..and the cycle continues 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have very low empathy at this point in my life.

And lawlessness.

That's interesting. I always think that MOSTLY other people are good at heart, just damaged. Describes me pretty well lmao

I don’t think that’s true. Cause I think ppl are assholes because I’ve been dealt some really bad dealings with some really bad ppl. Does that make me the asshole. Maybe? Maybe I just came in contact with some assholes 😂!

Yep! Some people are just selfish assholes and think their better than everyone else. Not all of them are psychopaths, way too much psyco analyzing these days. .

Just like you couldn't understand any other personality than you own, to the slightest... Using that type of idea in order to judge people is not brilliant, only a genuinely creepy rhetoric figure!

I agree. The fact that people think that other people are fundamentally selfish deep down does not in and of itself make someone a psychopath.

Thank you! It's not always a projection of the self but projection of personal experiences at times. Smh quick bits of psychology are not helpful when they put out or perpetuate blanket statements- referring to the video

She wasn't saying that if you think other people are selfish deep down, you're then inherently psychopathic. She was saying if it's grouped with the two other attributes (while you are deeply selfish as well), that's then the giveaway. Big difference.

Families can be narcissistic and society promotes a lot of narcissism imo

@@DanielBiceif they truly believe that, then they’ve become just as psychopathic as their parents
