Interesting content. I was raised in a part of the world where people think nothing is wrong with somebody unless he starts cursing people in the public or starts throwing stones on others. Listening to this I think there were lots of psychopaths around where I lived most of my childhood.
Hi Zidd. I understand what you mean. Most parts of the world fail to even consider mental health as a genuine problem. The world is full of conformists. And if anyone doesn't conform to the norm he/she is considered to have an attitude problem. Most people don't try to listen to or understand others in general. And owing to an over-dependence on social media, and the recent pandemic, many people have been living in isolation now, making the problem worse. Mental health is never the focus until a person starts abusing or hurting others, like you mentioned.
People tend to obsess about how to diagnose psychopaths. How do we detect whether someone you know is a psychopath or not. Same goes with narcissists and other "dangerous personalities". I'm gonna give a tip which i heard a psychologist from my country said once in a podcast that i listened to. He essentially said: "Don't bother trying to figure out whether someone is a psychopath or not. Because if you do, then that's what you're going to be doing instead of actually protecting yourself. It's their behavior and how they treat you that is important." His point was that people tend to get hung up on the labels. In reality, it doesn't matter whether the person is a psychopath or not. What matters is whether the person is causing you distress or not. If someone is trying to take advantage of you against your wishes, then you have to take measures to protect yourself. Either by distancing yourself from the person or setting boundaries. One example of a boundary you can set is how many chances you're willing to give them. There's no reason to give anyone more chances than they deserve.
Very well said. It's important to protect oneself from damaging personalities. I think it's the fear of the unknown that leads people to study behaviours and try and identify psychopaths. People want to identify them and protect oneself from them.
Thank you for making this. Very few people talk about there being different types of psychopaths, which is odd because they’re clearly are different types.
You're welcome buddy! Yes, true! It is indeed strange that not many have covered the fact that different types exist, or about any of the work done by Schneider.
Going through your playlist for the first time this year. Btw, could you do a video on George Kelly? His corollaries are such a brain-squeezer to understand.
Hello! I like your account name! Good suggestion! Kelly's social construct theory will fit in well with the theme of this channel. I will add this to the pipeline for you. Pls keep supporting!
Knowing these types of personalities of psychopathy is considered obsolete. I would like to believe that people with psychopathy; can have a conjunction, or a concurrence of these personalities. Like anything in this existence, people with psychopathy are on a continuum. Very well explained and educative, thank you 👍
I thought psychopaths were immune to depression and mood swings because of their brain structure. Maybe he was referring to secondary psychopaths instead of the primary ones?
Hello friend! Psychopaths respond to depression completely differently than normal human beings. They are not completely immune to depression and mood swings. Their responses are completely different though.
@@mynameiscare999 that's not true, they just experience it differently just like how they have emotions but experience them differently. You could be the exception though
Actually the tutorial addresses this question to begin with and then goes into types. Psychopaths are not just people in the asylum, but can be people residing amongst us and leading normal lives. To summarise, "Sometimes, all it takes, is one bad day"
