It really does, I feel bad he has to live life putting on these acts. As long as he chooses to be around other people, he has to go through these motions like it's a job or chore. All the things we do/say without thinking, hundreds of interactions we have a day that are mostly driven by feelings and emotions, and he has to act allll those out based on what's appropriate. His friends & family have to live life understanding that they are just of some benefit to him in some way that isn't related to emotions. I know he has no way of feeling the difference but I'd feel awful if I had to live like that.

Sympathy or what researchers call cognitive empathy

it's just a response, it won't make you feel anything, it's just how "society" has decided that we should respond, at some point it's seared in your mind and you don't actually need to think about it, but early on, yeah, it's brutal.

@@Merinzify Well no, there are social aspects to empathy, but understanding that other people feel things and matter, and not just you is intrinsic to most human beings.

How did you pass psych? Because you suck at it. You fell right into his trap. You of all people should know that words don't mean anything and actions are what matters. He can say all of that stuff but then he'll go and do everything he said he wasn't going to do. That's the whole point.

I might be wrong but I think they have a really good emotional intelligence, they just don't really care how others feel and their mind works more based off of whats right than how somebody feels. I could be completely wrong though.

Shout out to his therapist for helping him find and know himself on such a deep level. And major shout out to him for being brave enough to take that journey into self discovery and awareness.

Yeah his self-awareness is incredible. It shows that therapy and reform is necessary. I have a bias with narcissists and sociopaths because my mom married him and he was borderline abusive in every way and had no self awareness. Its been eight years since we got him out of our lives and I am still not mentally okay. After watching this video, I’m glad not all sociopaths are inherently evil or exactly like my former stepdad. It would be great if everyone with these types of personality disorders could get the help they need and become as self aware as the guy in the video because then less people would get hurt by people with these disorders who don’t have self awareness or get help. I love how the guy in this video is aware of how his actions affect others and he is trying not to do that.

autistic people feel empathy, they just struggle to connect because a lack of understanding social cues. but they have actually often deeper empathy than neurotypical people. sociopaths and narcissists r the disorders that actually lack empathy.

I have the exact same thing! I do wish everyone the best, but I'm never emotionally involved. Just can't seem to form a connection or bond with people. I could go a year without speaking friends or fam and im just fine. I do feel a strong connection to some animals. I've had 2 dogs, sold them after a couple of years because I lost all interest in them. Now I have one, a little chihuahua, and its the first dog I feel genuine love for. I take real good care of her. I don't want kids for that same reason, imagine not being able to love your kid, or starting to feel annoyed with their presence after a while... It's sad sometimes, but im a happy and unbothered person overall.

My brother is full on autistic & I noticed as an adult he doesn't have empathy. He can apply it. But he's still a good person overall like you.

@@nickpeterson1778 Autistic people do have empathy but lack cognitive empathy. We don't really understand emotions very well, and we can't usually describe them either. Well, that's in my experience anyways, we're a spectrum, so I can't say all of us are like this, but most I know are, and I am one.

I'm autistic and I feel the same.

Well he doesn't seem to care about happiness at all. You're projecting your own needs on him. But still the empathy is surely nice :)

@@BirdNatureViewpretty sure he does care about his happiness. He just has different needs in order to be happy. Everyone has a different definition of happiness, but they all want to feel it.

He does not feel, he thinks and reasons, your comments show you cannot get past that.

@@psefti He himself mentioned having had bipolar episodes filled with emotion. How would you reconcile that with your view of how he operates?

@psefti everybody must feel on some level, no matter how buried the feelings. That’s what I believe.

Plus it's very hard to get them to a point of receiving a diagnosis. It's similar to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It's extremely hard for Narcissists to open up to the possibility that they have a personality disorder due to the nature of their disorder. While Sociopaths essentially end up masking until they are exhausted and can't anymore, so they live their lives thinking this is just how it be and those around them live in ignorant bliss unless they're close enough, long enough. But also, we tend to hear the worst case scenarios of any mental illness and disorder. But many are very 'high functioning'.

Exactly

@@foxleyleon there’s nothing unadmirable about him. He didn’t choose to have this disorder, but the way he deals with it and is so self aware, more than any of us will ever achieve

@@foxleyleon We admire certain traits, does it matter to you?

Yeah I really admire the way he handles it! I haven’t had a proper diagnosis yet, but I research a lot of psychological trauma and disorders as a result of relationships between children and parents, and I find these things really fascinating, but yeah I know there’s definitely something wrong with me, but I can’t pinpoint it just yet. (gonna bring it up to my therapist when I realise what it is). Anyways, unfortunately, I have a lot of obtrusive thoughts as a result of my family dynamic and issues within. Sometimes doing harm to myself and my family. I’m just grateful that I have boundaries and limits and understanding about why I have these emotions I guess? Idk it’s just kinda admirable to see that someone else who knows and has boundaries and limits to make sure that they don’t harm anyone and they don’t get harmed themselves.

@@foxleyleon I don't think you understand what being an empath means cause you wouldn't be under this comment section judging others for being open and vulnerable about their weaknesses.

May I ask what type of characteristics or what behaviors from someone that make them appear to be weak to you?

Wow, same here

How you respond to my presence can make think you're weak it's a range of different circumstances

Rigghhht. It needs to stop being so stigmatized so they all can get the things they need.

@@flygirl1297 maybe if they DO get the right support instead of being demonised and punished they might not be so antisocial. I've studied criminology and most of the people in prisons have antisocial personality disorder. Its a psychological and/or psychiatric issue brought on by multiple traumas, neglect of all kinds and various other things compounded. It is hard to sympathise but the majority of these people aren't born like this, they become this. Some are neurodivergent and because this is not picked up and supported, coupled with abuse, neglect and lack of opportunities, they learn inappropriate ways of relating and behaving. Inappropriate socially, but when you look at at from the micro to macro perspectives, it all makes sense.

I also think the real or really dangerous, 'psychopaths' and sociopaths are not the ones in the prison or treatment populations, they're the ones in successful careers in the mid to top levels of hierarchy. The former two are unfortunate, unsuccessful 'deviants'.

@@nopenope1834 yeah, being made the outcast does not help them at all. A lot of the most prolific serial killers have had similar disorders, which def was excelerated by childhood trauma and abuse making it hard for them to know how to relate to ppl. They're not able to express their corrupted thought patterns bc they r instantly deminized. It's really sad & does nothing to help anyone. a lot of mental disorders come about due to circumstance. I have BPD & it's stemmed from childhood trauma, & I'm lucky enough to be able to have the resources to manage it.

@@flygirl1297 I'm glad to hear you have the support and resources. Sadly, many people don't. I always throw my two cents in as a person with lived experience (PTSD/trauma, addiction) and some formal education; because the demonisation occurs from two ends, the general public who may not understand the disorders well (and fall for the fear generated by media, whether news or entertainment), and the other is the educated professionals themselves, they can do a lot of good, but some of them do not understand the lived aspects or have their own moral prejudices, which impact how they perceive and treat these disorders. So im all about educating people within my capacity, where I can.

How do we know ?

But there truly is a logical reason for it, he kinda explained it a the end. If other people are happy, know the truth and don't fear you/like you we all are better of because of the ripple effect it has. So instead of him having his emotions to guide him he had to reach the logical conclusion which is the reason why whe developled the emotions in the first place. So to make it clear we are better of if everybody is the best version of himself he can be.

True! The pure fact he noticed that he himself is different than the rest is what I would call a miracle for people with this condition.

I don’t mean anything by this, but I feel like this comment suggests you’d be the type of person to be manipulated. I agree with you that what’s he’s doing here appears to be “good” and I actually believe he’s genuine. However, you have to be very careful against giving sociopaths in your life any “social credits”, because they will use that as leverage to devastate you. Maybe an example would be befriending someone after seeing someone rescue a puppy, and after a few months of friendship you give them a key to feed your dog when you’re out of town. They steal what they want, leave the door open, the let dog run away, and you come back a week later and learn that this person staged rescuing the puppy months prior to gain your trust. On top of the betrayal it doesn’t make sense - why did this person go through all that effort? Couldn’t they have just robbed your house without gaining your trust? Maybe you could’ve afforded to give them money up-to the price of the stuff they stole, so why did they have to do this and let your dog run away? Just in my limited experience with ASD and manipulation, you have to be really careful about giving someone trust. That doesn’t mean you can’t believe or appreciate someone - I think this guy is being genuine and I am really happy he shared his story. You just have to be aware of the minute possibility they could manipulate you. My sister was never diagnosed with ASD (maybe by now, I haven’t spoken to her in 10 years) but I strongly suspect it. And to be honest, when she did nice things that made me trust her (a pattern over many, many years), I don’t think she was necessarily being malicious. She was just building social credits knowing that I appreciated the things she did. And when a time came convenient for her to cash in (whether it was 1 month, 4 months, 8 months, …) she’d do so at expense to me.

@@stevebean1234I’m sorry for your experiences. I think this disorder may be a bit of spectrum and some people can feel shallow emotions, or feel a wider range of feelings other times. I feel this man is being genuine bc like he said, what would he get out of manipulating us in this moment? This is an older video, too

As he said. "It's a game and they lost"

Understand that it isn't that he has the empathy. He can't experience empathy, that's the hallmark of his condition. What happens is that there is a specific brand of therapy that is geared at helping a person with ASPD understand that the costs of hurting other people outweigh the benefits.

I believe its more like he is self aware that what he does is not correct, not really an empathy. As he said, he does not feel shameful, but he knows it was inadequate.

i think he said that for us as the viewers watching benefit and not really for him. like he's saying it because he probably thinks that's what we want to hear.

therapy has allowed him to see it from both sides

As someone with ASPD you wouldn’t believe what it takes to get this self aware 🤬

Not necessarily, some people are just naturally self-aware. And I think sociopaths are more prone to be self-aware because no emotions cloud their judgement.

@@Rooiku I don’t agree with this, but i appreciate your input. If folks with ASPD or NPD were more inclined to self awareness than I don’t think that line of thinking behaviour would be considered a mental health issue… which it is and is in the DSM-5. ASPD and NPD comes about as a protective mechanism I believe… similar to how other personality disorders come about such as Borderline. Also I respectfully disagree with you when you indicate that people with ASPD don’t have emotions to cloud their judgment… well actually they do have emotions but again those emotions are essentially in survival mode 24/7 overly protecting themselves by any means necessary at times. That’s not me giving an excuse for their behaviour because no. So I do feel it’s offensive to negate these things when having a personality disorder no matter what one is incredibly challenging to deal with and you have to continue to try to overcome it every single day.

APD / Bipolar if controlled is especially powerful and is the GOD, KING, and Ultimate WARRIOR gene.

They still deserve respect and kindness.

@@estheroudewesselink5508 He also said, that he is mainly interersted in manipulating others, not just hanging out and making new friends.

It’s hard because it’s part of you, you have to keep controlling it you can never fully get rid of it.

Seems like he will be willing to increase his social circle with the help of therapy. And he sounds like he has a close circle of friends and family too already. He did emphasize its important for people to know him.

He explained his reasoning, he came to the realization that even though his actions benefitted him momentarily, it was introducing chaos into social interactions and society. He can logically understand that introducing this level of chaos into the lives of people who DO have emotional responses to the chaos is a negative thing. He can't understand the emotional repsonse, but hes come to the understanding that other people do and his actions can trigger these responses, even if he has no idea why.

I don't think it's scrutiny or any roundabout emotion. He's an incredibly logical thinking person and it makes logical sense that if he effects others negatively, (Not because he cares but because he says having friends and family in the long run is beneficial and describes it as an "equation" and "transactional) he should limit his interactions with them. I think the diagnosis were a way for him to help understand himself better. Scrutiny would almost imply negative connotations and he doesnt feel positive or negative. He even says he looks at harming others as a logically bad thing.

@@drdre4397 while you’re right, most psychopaths/sociopaths do not have that line of thinking, as it conflicts with their perception of themselves as more important than others.

@@LiveYourLifeWithJoy Well if you would drown, you'd probably panic. A lot of emotions are caused by habits or even instincts

It's extremely rare from what I gather and psychologists seem to say that even those diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder aren't as problematic or often hopeless as ASPD patients as they're almost always only there because they're forced to, or to put on appearances. Narcissists might be there for more self-pitying/victimising reasons but ASPD seem as a general rule to, unlike narcissists, actually be quite aware what they're doing to others is wrong, and often just won't care, and won't see their traits as a huge hindrance either. A good example of a portrayal of it is the Sopranos, they gloss over the actual diagnosis which is really just implied in a one off comment, but they put their research in and many/most genuinely lack both empathy and self control. It was a long time until I appreciated how much it actually does overlap with psychopathy and that they are essentially the same.

They fall through the cracks because of the fear others have, when really people should be focusing on getting them help, as therapy can often times make a huge difference. It won't make them develope more empathy but it'll at least help them realize why it's important to not just focus on themselves. The more awareness, the less fear and the less cases you will hear of people with this disorder becoming dangerous

@Jennifer Coburn not all people with this disorder are going to turn into horrible violent people. And I think the more you can get someone to talk about how their brain works like that, the more benefits it'll have. Therapy will help many people with this disorder. There are dangers out there, but there are dangerous people who have no disorders so it's not fair to single out someone with a disorder, especially when this man as much as he could have been deceiving everyone, warned about how they often do it, why, and even said he shouldn't be fully trusted. The best thing you can do is make them self aware and help help recognize the way their brain works and what it wants them to do. To avoid violence/hurting others in general. Once again they are still people, and doing nothing/not trying to help someone who may need it with this disorder is unfair, if not to them then to the people they may harm (not all people with this disorder are violent). You dont have to trust someone to hear them out or get them help. Edit: I'm not saying it's your duty to go out there and get people to therapy, however comparing all people with the disorder to parasites is unfair, as some do recognize the harm they can cause and try to stop it. Sure it's not because they feel bad for the person but they realize it isn't good for the world as a whole and society. Which is a good step.

@Jennifer Coburn Have you ever stopped to think that the stigma might be the very thing that makes them so dangerous? I mean I'm not saying they should be handled with kid gloves either but they are still people, and people that have a lot of potential if they can learn to work with their disorder. Painting them all as human trash solves nothing.

@Jennifer Coburn I think they do care about the stigma.

Exactly it really is

It's crazy that he has more insights than actual person with high empathy levels

​@@laniakeas92 Empathy is learned, after all. He is a person too. I love his outlook and it's wonderful how much finding a therapist can help. He's not a bad person. He's getting help, did this great thing that helps people see what his life is like. His self-awareness is wonderful. Manipulation, sociopathy and narcissism are words that are thown around quite a lot.

"forgiveness really is about forgiveness" ?

Yeah I thought that was a cold hearted answer at first, but the more I think about it the more I realise how right he was.

He's actually evil

@@Bambotb do u know him personally?

@@Bambotb like you?

@@Bambotb every1 is, u aren’t a perfect angel stop hating and get inspired. U come off envious smh do better

That’s what 2 years of therapy does. I have also had the same (for a general and social anxiety disorder when I was a teen) It makes you extremely self aware and I’m now helping my boyfriend with his mental issues. Go to therapy people it’s so worth it.

SBSK commented on a different comment that he's into gardening now!!

@@daja9637 - That's so awesome! Thank you for letting me know! 🥰

I have found gardening helps with my anxiety. It is very relaxing. So glad he is doing well now 😊

I read on a reddit post that he got arrested for a violent crime. He said the guy was from his neighborhood.

Yes!!

I mean OFTEN have transactioanl or worse relationships

Nothings wrong with logic based thinking … I learned a lot from this intelligent being

most things or I would say almost everything is emotions driven and to a major extent transactional between humans. especially the relationships that we were not born with. If you really go down through the psychology of it you will find the reasons of why chose you have certain people in your life. Its all transactional! We say we fall in love but even that is after a lot of "courting" and driven by fulfillment of certain emotional needs and if they are met we allow ourselves to fall in love with that individual. Transactional.

Seeing this I felt so great to see I'm not the only one like this. I have to fight the urge to not manipulate ppl, and it's not just for things or anything I can get it's just for the power 😭, so I also stay to myself unless I feel the person is stable enough to not get manipulated or try to plz me.

He's a regular human to me

@@xxxexxxeamsmith5819 down astronomically bad

@papachinggy True, I clicked hoping that because I had seen this before.

As someone who has BPD, I would like to reiterate that most likely it was definitely something wrong with the person, not you. We can be pretty mean and hurtful and callous sometimes which is not directed to any particular person, almost just whoever is in front of us or closest to us at the time. BPD is hard to have but it is also very hard to be around and I'm sorry you were hurt by it and I hope you are doing okay

Yeeees, I felt the same way, some kind of mini resolution. I guess it's what I wanted to hear from the person who hurt me.

Agree

@@kydiasan21 That’s very kind of you to say. Admitting that you’ve been hurtful to those you love is a hard thing to do. It seems like you have put in the work to gain insight into your disorder and hopefully ease SOME of the mental anguish I know you probably feel. I was also abused by someone with BPD, so your words are impactful in a small way for me in my own healing process. I have a ton of sympathy for you. I’ll never understand, but I sympathize and hope you feel some peace.

@@kydiasan21 Hi, I'm a cluster b- NPD with a scattering of the others in the cluster. My ex was BPD and I always thought she was hurtful to me because of my proximity to her - like getting caught in the storm. Rather than it being about me as an individual. Is that your experience of it?

cuidado pra não cair no conto do vigário kkk

@Mo highly? considering how hes going about his situation, mans been dealt a shitty hand

@Coo Chi Errrr... OK.

Everyone with sociopathy and psychopathy is, we feel a deep degree of pride off of our condition. You will believe you are better than others

@@goopguy548 Yup, that's one of the symptoms. Why would you manipulate and take advantage of others if you think that's bad...

the thing is that you dont know if hes honest, you never know with anyone

@@ChingelBopDingelFlop right . That’s why I can’t.

his reality is the one he creates in the present at that moment . he doesnt care. he just fills in whatever and tags along untill he takes what he needs. should you be in his way, well that sucks for you. if you happe nto not be in his way you will never know and jsut keep believing its such a sad story and so brave he come on here to do aaaaall of this for you guys. /s

@@PsykoFeen Who cares though, it’s not like they’re ever gonna meet him

He said that he did already, it's called masking, who would act like they had no remorse? Even murderers do that

I see myself transparently too. And most ppl around can't handle it.

@@kriiigern777 deep introspection is a property of people rejected by society.

@@piranias That's the case for me, unfortunately.

It’s actually more-so you doing more for him than him doing for you, but he will do his best to make it seem as mutual as possible

@@FlackoBrazy bingo bullseye right on the money !!!

@@FlackoBrazy you’re assuming I want materialistic things in return when really I just appreciate a deep thoughtful conversation from a friend. And I have nothing to give *except* my personality, so idk how he’d be able to pretend that it’s mutual, when its really not. but he said it himself, I’d have to be skeptical around him and really get to know him before I’d be able to identify when he’s manipulating me

@@lostinthewoods3918 Oh okay, but in that case he will just deem you unbeneficial and won’t enjoy your company or will just try to lower your self value. It’s all a mind game, sometimes narcissistic

@@lostinthewoods3918 your comments make very little sense from beginning to end. You created a scenario for yourself only to say the scenario wouldn't work on you

Should be a lapd cop , make $100k+ doing what he does for free

Um, I’m not sure that’s a great idea dude.

you think an ANTI social person would work for the improvement of society? that’s a far reach and a big hurdle to overcome. i’d say he’d be the criminal himself, manipulating the fbi.

Columbo?

@@cassgray9340 sure it is

He had to seriously think about it...he probably doesn't know what "sorry" means

Him thinking exclusively logically, "sorry" doesn't hold any bearing because it's already happened....in his mind he can only give advice moving forward to attempt to make things right

Yeah I respect him not saying sorry because if he did it's certainly not genuine

Yeah I respect him not saying sorry because if he did it's certainly not genuine

@@MrAvocadoMan it is still better than not saying it. If you were in a bad mood and don't smile at your mother just because you wanna be "genuine" that would be dumb. Sometimes politeness doesnt come naturally but you still should do it to be a better human and make people feel better.

Would you think hes so smart and should be proud if you find out how many people hes taken advantage of and how serious it was and how badly it affected those peoples lives?

@@akuma4u I am well aware of what disordered people are capable of. The reason why I mentioned that is because somewhere in the video he mentioned he is not proud of himself or someone wasn't proud of him. I don't remember clearly but I mentioned it because it was related to the video

Yeah, I think he might want to be proud for seeking help; a lot of people avoid therapy since it can be painful to deal with conflicts/challenges within one's internal self.

@@dianak0691 yes you're right! It is challenging and they probably have to relive some childhood issues as part of their therapy. Most people don't get any help even when they're self aware of their behaviour.

@@akuma4u cry

I thought the same ... so analitic mind.

I imagine he would excel in that career.

@@ktmmatt7243 Dexter

That's the Last thing he should do. People with sociopathic disorders feed off each other, thats why in group therapy, they're generally not allowed to associate with each other outside of that group.

@@Woodesies with that self awareness? Yes.

I wish someone else interviewed him.

I didn't watch his other video, but I really can feel that he's being tense xD

Yeah it's a bit annoying honestly

I wish he treated the guy like a human more than he did. Someone with ASPD are still humans with emotions and desires. They dont like feeling like everyone is afraid of them.

He did say he was afraid of his audience being manipulated, he's protecting himself and others. I guess that some of the people watching are vulnerable, so it makes sense to me.

What do you mean what noises?

@@Erin-ho8qu Like when someone tells you something that is supposed to make you sad you have to make the noise "awwww" and if its supposed to move you emotionally you have to go "ohhhh" and such.

I totally agree I’m finally 32 years old and finally understand my behaviors and I try my best to avoid triggers and I recognize I’m doing it but can’t stop. Mind over matter ive learned, or simply a shift in concentration

I'm currently trying to understand and notice my behavior, it's difficult. I keep going back and forth with my progress. Any advice to help out

@@supremeweeblord255 hey man it’s honestly as simple as treat others how you would like to be treated

#1. He doesn't care #2. He is likely condescending towards you for thinking such a way and trying to empathise with him as you are inferior (in his mind) #3. What was the point of your comment if you knew he wouldn't care? You obviously are just vying for attention and just wanted to "say your piece", which is egotistical at the very least

@@chobai9996 i guess cho bai has all the answers

@@chobai9996 you are the only egotistical one here, pal. Matter of fact, YOU sound very much sociopathic based on just your train of thought in that one comment. Is that why you think you can explain how this man in the video would feel? You *know* bc you ARE like him?

I agree! I feel bad for him in a way. It’s so hard to be stuck in a constant battle within your own mind. You can tell that he truly wishes that he could be “normal” and he’s trying.

Yes that would make him caring, the fact that he did this most honest interview. It helped me alot.

Wow yes I thought the same. I thought It was kinda sad to not be capable of experiencing happiness regularly.

Most people with this disorder have moderate to severe depression

They don’t have emotions so how can you teach happiness ? Like he doesn’t know what being happy feel likes therefore he can’t answer ! It’s like asking someone with good eye sight if they ever know how does person who need glasses see ? They will say they don’t know because they never experienced blurry vision

@@savvyinfo9762 they do feel emotions, some are more shallow than others. for example remorse, ppl w aspd lack it but if they do feel it, it’s shallow. that doesn’t mean they don’t feel emotions

@@oliverxhmll The that’s sad

Exactly that’s what happens to me in relationships after a year or two it breaks down because I can’t just love or connect genuinely. It’s my biggest fear these days.. live a life missing out on what it is to be human.

@@frederickmacdonald4171 If you’re not already, seek therapy. You can have a fulfilling life with ASPD. Just don’t go seeking out relationships until you’re sure that you can achieve that kind of emotion, cuz that ain’t fair to either of y’all. It’ll just be wasting both of your guys’ time.

@@frederickmacdonald4171 i’m autistic and constantly mask. i don’t really know who i am, i imagine that’s something you also deal with? i have a hard time making connections because i feel like i mask so differently with different people that i’ll never be able to be “myself” around them. i would love to hear about your experiences, especially since ASPD is so stigmatized i hope you find happiness with yourself and have a full life :)

what he can not help though is smiling when he doesnt want to. (which we all struggle with im sure)

Unlikely that he's highly intelligent. More likely that he's had extensive therapy that has helped him become more self-aware.

💜👍🎉🥂💯

I've never been diagnosed but I resonate a lot with this guy. I wouldn't doubt I have this. But for me. Having a label or diagnosis was only going to hold me back. I would use it as an excuse to not achieve something. I've learned disabilities often come with other abilities. I can dissociate on command and observe myself from an external perspective. Helps me to not do something unnatural. I've never known what to say to people when they say someone dies. Death is just as natural as birth. Body language was a huge thing I watched in people. I'm intelligent but I lack social skills. Emotions have only ever clouded logic in my opinion.

@@thomassilva7246 I've met someone explain all of this to me. It takes people on both sides to understand each other. It's so retrospective for you to recognize it and see how you can make situations easier for others. Even though you don't feel it, it's very selfless and means a lot to those who DO feel. I would know, I'm the opposite and feel EVERYTHING lol. That's a huge curse haha. Makes having a relationship with someone who has anxiety, depression, pschizo and narcissistic qualities, and split personality hard.

No. They treat life as a warzone and deserve to have that energy reciprocated

It's called listening before you speak. It's really that simple. People do it all the time.

@@swerve3071 I know what he's doing. I just don't think it's all that common. Also, given what he tells us about himself, I wonder if he's thinking "what is he expecting me to say" versus "what do I really think."

@@swerve3071 lmao people def don’t think before they speak all the time. You a prime example

@@swerve3071 exactly. It’s not that uncommon when being asked really introspective questions

Yes, he is waiting to see and sizing you up to see where exactly on your neck he wants to sink his teeth in. Yeah, keep this dude the f--- away from me.
