You‘re a strong person. How did he act out?

Does he know he has it, or is that your guess? One of the major researchers on Psychopathy found out HE was a Psychopath via brain scans. Once he did, he modified his behaviors because he understood intellectually how some of what he did was harmful. You have to understand though, that if is is a Psychopath, it's not his fault. He was born that way. Taking it personally or expecting different is like expecting someone without legs to walk normally. It's impossible. Just like it is impossible for your father to change brain structures. Maybe if you look at your memories under the lens that he was not choosing to behave that way it will help. It's the difference between someone smacking you with a branch in anger, and a branch simply falling on you. Both hurt, but the one from the tree does not also hurt you emotionally. Your dad is simply a tree. I hope that helps.

@@shakeyj4523 My father experimented with the edges of human experience. Water boarding especially. He knew he was causing harm. It facinated him. No I don't hold him accountable the same way. My brain can barly process this level of betrayal anyways.

Psychopaths are born to be criminals. Evolutionarily programed criminals.

Sounds like your father has low emotional intelligence. That is why you should find it in your heart to forgive him.

Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

@missriverlady... exactly correct. People who seek power, control, and coin are usually the least capable of commanding those things ethically. Carl Sagan constantly refused the idea of "pursuing high offices" or "becoming a governor". In hindsight, he was probably the most capable of being an effective leader out of almost anyone else one could've suggested. Same with F.M. Rogers, to some extent.

@@gravity00x Well, SOMEONE has to coordinate things, and some people are DRIVEN to do just that… for their own gain… it would be harder to get more moral people to take these positions, which they would find stressful because they would care what effect their actions had on others.

Bingo

By that logic, surely everyone being worried is already sign.....

But what if someone is questioning being one? When I was young I self-diagnosed as one because I thought I had traits (I'm not actually one), but I wasn't worried about being one, I didn't really see anything bad with being one actually (I do have a tendency to look at everything with an impartial view). But I was still wondering a lot.

This is a great point! Psychopaths would never seek a video like this out. They dont examine their actions in relation to how it makes others feel.

it's possible that you might have other condition. Autism can be one of the reason.

It depends on the psychopath, a tetrad, or extremely narcissistic one - which most are, would care… Because if they were known as a psychopath within their community, they may not be able to manipulate and deceive people as well. So they would care. Therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists… Who don’t understand it fully, Spew a bunch of jargon and superficial rhetoric like “psychopaths don’t care if they’re psychopaths”. When someone uses bumper sticker rhetoric like that - I would be skeptical as to their comprehension of anything. I wouldn’t trust most of them.

@@BB-fo5mr Nah, psychopaths really don't care. I had two parents and one diagnosed girlfriend...the abuse they covertly heaped on me is astounding. And zero remorse or guilt is so extreme I actually fogive them because that is NOT normal at all...i have borderline and can be friends with psychopaths in crime but always have to dsimiss myself when i see they are getting out of hand..and they always do..because they jsut don't care..even about going to prison themselves. They don't care about anything except what's shiny, new, rich, gorgeous, etc. in front of them..like a dog.

indeed. the fact that you worried about being truly psychopathic shows that you aren't. it is possible to adopt those tendencies as neurotypicals, i believe, but it's most likely for survivability, which no one should be blamed for if that's the case.

Edit: Typo. I might have missed more. Confirmed psychopath here. (Via forensic psychologist and two clinical ones. It isn't officially diagnosed. It's a concept not in the DSM 5) Your psychiatrist is speaking too generally over a very nuanced thing. She didn't take the time to explain to you because she likely sees no point. What she should've said... Is that; Whilst psychopaths don't care in the way you or I would.... Those who rarely do come forward always have an end goal in mind and it's usually not to 'recover'. But yes some do indeed approach services or choose to tell them things and not pretend anymore. Again though. Not for reasons I'm guessing people would hope for. Ex: I forced myself to 'out' certain things about myself to professionals simply because I see myself as too good for prison. And I know I'll be there if I don't put some effort into some things. So all I'm manipulating out of my workers are the tools to remain off radar in future. They have no choice but to hope I'm being serious don't they. I can say this because here this is entirely anonymous. I don't much like talking to forensics but needs must. Some of us are capable and WILLING to play the rules for an ultimate goal and sometimes that has included us needing a further looking into. Most of us have known we're psychopaths for years prior to being 'discovered' by professionals. We notice defecits, absences of emotions in ourselves that others describe. We notice how others say our reactions to things and sometimes a lack of reactions aren't appropriate so it just made sense to copy. I don't like people socially whining at me. So anyway until this year I never saw a need to get certain things addressed. (I am 32 as of 2024 June. I have suspected this since I was 17. Known it when I was 20.) In the process of speaking with forensics.. what I've always suspected then known did indeed come to light. We don't ask ourselves, AM I ONE? WHAT IF...? Then run to someone who has an answer. For me it was, Yeah that fits my bill. So? Unless that's useful info it doesn't need my attention. *Proceeds to move on with life in spite of reminders or what people say along the way.* So again she's not entirely wrong but she isn't accurate. As usual when people discuss this topic. Shame it also comes from the 'professionals'. In regards to your own situation... If you don't have a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder you are not a psychopath. That isn't possible as psychopathy is generally agreed upon as an extreme version of ASPD. Not all people with aspd have psychopathy. All 'psychopaths' have ASPD. Pretty straightforward.. So start from there if you truly have a need to figure it out. Note: It's not a label that usually suits you under services so if you're just a layman wondering... Don't pursue it if you cannot clearly see the reward for yourself at the end and know you can make that happen regardless. For me the reward in knowing this will likely come to their light outweighs the inconvenience of staff being even more wary and suspicious of me. They can't even meet in person on their own anymore it is most peculiar as I have often told them they are helping me it makes no sense to burn that bridge with them. They don't listen. So that is one example of the stupidity people can have when met with those who have such a title. That's my free advice. I have nothing better to do for another 20 mins.

The clinical definition of disorder simply refers to traits that deviate from the "normal" population, rather than whether the trait itself is positive or negative.

NPD creates suffering in other people too.

Good point. Should probably defined as deviation from the norm causing harm for themselves or others.

@@ZeeZeeNg shouldn't that mean gay people also has disorder?

You have made up your own definition of disorder lol

I had a psychopathic boss but he was mostly in a good mood beause the company was new and OH MY GOD could he sell..he'd sit down and make 1/2 million in a few hours. Nobody could touch him because he simply didn't care if the customer woudl be stuck with the stuff and pushed into bankruptcy,

I think most attorneys are that way only they're not selling. They're yanking and banking

Narcissists have those traits as well.

Sounds like a tough situation, not sure if I would say he had psychopathy, but he definitely had problems with trusting others, when you got 'too close' by your own judgement he 'pushed you away'. I think your boss needs love, or is afraid of it.

@@user-hv6gt1nm4d He had other traits that went to the extreme. He kept everyone on the team off balance, suspecting each other of being in his confidence, and creating chaos in general. He's give orders before leaving town then grill people for having followed them when he returned, claiming he'd never given those instructions. People would look at each other with WTF eyes and deal with it. My story is that I didn't understand anything about such behaviors until he and I had parted company. I was damaged by his treatment of me and wanted to know what brought it to such a high level of cruelty. In my research I found he ticked all of the boxes for psychopathy but not sociopathy. He was too cool, too self-controlled, emotionally violent toward others but not physically.

stay true to the human side of you. he is not there for you you should NOT be there for him. he will consume you, & you will be lost. save yourself.

Me too. I escaped from my father with psychopathy four years ago. I had to also go no contact with my mom and three siblings because they were so well trained to give him what he wanted they could not protect me and my personal information and would become targets to be used as a way to hurt me. Destruction of the family and family members was our family activity. No one leaves their family unless it’s completely necessary. Family is just too important to being a human. Thanks for sharing your success story. I’m thriving since I got away. But still trying to build up a social network. Me and my two dogs stick together though. And we’re gonna make it.

I believe that there is a neural psycho chemical explanation for psychopathy that is attributable to either environmental or genetic abnormalities. My mother divorced my father when I was three; she told me later that it was because his personality had changed when he was in the Korean war. I can personally attest to his psychopathic behavior. He as much as confessed to killing his girlfriend because she would not get an abortion; as he put it, "I took care of that problem. Her body was found in the Missouri river downstream from a bridge that he would take me to fish. Just the way that he coldly referred to her death convinced me that he was a murderer. This incident was only one of many incidents that left me with no doubt that he was a psychopath.

​@@robertperry4439The Korean war only brought his psychopathy to surface. You're BORN with psychopath a.k.a ASPD Factor 1. ASPD factor 2 is created, but usually in childhood to adolescence. It's EXTREMELY RARE to have Factor 2 ASPD be created at the age of 19-20 years old, only 5 years away before the human brain is fully formed and the window of change is closed forever.

That's encouraging... I only broke away 5 years ago, and I'm already middle aged. I know I have a long road ahead of me, especially since my father made a point of keeping us all very close and connected as part of his smokescreen. Breaking away was a messy affair. I hope both you and you sister broke away together. I, for the most, part had to leave my siblings behind.

Yep, the erosion of egalitarian values in culture allow for functionally evil people to thrive.

@@RayneNikole Yep, psychopaths have no place in a culture with egalitarian values. It's not much of a secret that the most powerful people are sociopaths, malignant narcissists, or psychopaths, in positions that don't require ethics or morals.

I cannot walk by a homeless person with-out tears 😢 its very painful

I think it's just that people accept they can't control certain things. Not due to lack of empathy. Also, you don't actually know the person, if they are good or whatever, so can be more selective with empathy. I find homelessness sad but I won't allow it to consume me in any way as I don't know the person, don't know if I would even like them or they would care about me and I know I can't really do much to help anyway.

ASPD is another label for (or at least, very similar to) sociopathy, not psychopathy.

@@kellyherrin I think ASPD (anti-social personality disorder) is the only official diagnosis, sociopath and psychopath are just describing labels, psychopathy you're "born with", sociopathy has a cause in the early childhood. And the ability of experiencing empathy is a bit different: psychopath totally lacks it, sociopath is capable of experiencing it to some extent, but can "switch it off" to do horrible things. Please let me know how you think it's different!

no , A hard dissagree , a psychopath can easly feel irritated or hatefuk towards you . and since they cant feel bond or love with people (they feel connection but not a bond , like a reptile if you would say) nor they can have empathy , they would only care about fulfilling their desires and what benefit them , witch is harming you. so they feel hate and desire to hurt , byt not a desire to love and help , and their lack of empathy and ability to connect with other people ;makes makes it easier .

I think of them as sharks. Sharks are cool and fun to watch, but if you mess with them and get bit, it's a little bit your fault. It's in their nature to lash out. For example, one of the reasons my mother in law hates me is that I never give her any personal information she might potentially use against me. She would obviously use it eventually, and it would be my fault to not have the foresight to keep that chum out of the water. You can be around psychopaths, but you need an extra level of awareness and precaution.

@@user-zl7pw9zu9s I kinda agree kinda disagree. Or maybe you didn't get my point? They can feel hate and anger, and anger towards a specific person. But their tendency to feel hate and anger and simultaneously the lack of empathy is due to their neurological deviancy. They often do like to provoke people to get their reaction, just to have something happening (they get very easily bored). But _that_ is nothing personal, they just want some stimulation and they don't care it's happening by your's (anyone's) expense. That's not personal.

"Charities" tend to be tax shelters at best and low overhead profit industries at worst (imagine doing nothing other than saying youll give donated money to some heartwarming cause and then keeping whatever percentage you think is "fair" and justify it as "operating expenses"

I've seen many affluent people who are generous. If you meet a psychopath there gonna be selfish whether rich or poor.

That is because poor people can't AFFORD to be generous. So if they do give, it says a lot. But when you are rich, no matter how generous you are, people still won't think it is enough. I swear those who complaints about the rich not giving enough, are also the ones that never gave anything back to society.

However, they may intentionally mislead and disguise their lack of true emotional connection with imitated or learned responses to manipulate their partners. This can make them dangerous in relationships.

yeah psychopaths need education from a young age. that will help i think. it's so scary tho as a parent

Yep. People tend to think psychopathy means "born evil". But they're just as likely to be inherently evil as you're average person. It's all about what environment they grow up in, the types of parents, the moral education, early diagnosis and treatment. Most people affected suffer in a unique way. The same way a deaf person does. They want to be normal and fit in but they know you are closed off from an entire aspect of life. There is a closed door that will never open to you and behind of which everyone you know seems to be happy

@@Carvgoo It is extremely difficult to comprehend another person’s “perceptual cognition”. Psychopathy is seen now as being on a spectrum. It is not a psychopathology that is truly capable of functional emotional relationships.

Only a free currency market can keep a government in check. No taxes on private currencies.

@@moneyvsfinance How did you determine you "only" experience to be correct?

@@JohnnyTwoFingers the money/currency is basically half of the economy, in that it is good for all the good and services (not including the barter economy, which is immaterial in comparison). So the goods and services are the one half, and the currency/money is the other. And this makes sense if you think about how convenient currency makes your life. Now we know from history that a monopoly always abuses it's power. I hope this is obvious enough, but through a deeper economic analysis we can deduce that it is the nature of a monopoly to abuse it's power. And the currency market is clearly a monopoly in every country, where the government sponsored currency (even if it is issued by a privately owned entity like the Federal Reserve) has nearly 100% of the market share. This is a monopoly on half of the economy. A right to issue currency unchecked by potential competitors. If you tried to print your own currency, any transactions or income earned in it is taxed, and in dollars. So if I go all year trading in vouchers, crypto, metals, and bartering, without owning a dollar, the IRS will show up at my doorstep expecting me to sell my assets for Dollars to pay taxes. This tax rule generates a ton of demand for the Dollar, giving the issuer of it unchecked power. Now, you could argue that the Federal Reserve and other private central banks are more powerful than the government. And I would agree. But, I would also argue that said central banks are the real government. And the power to print the money/currency with monopoly status, that is, free of competition, is in of itself, unchecked power, by the very definitions of "unchecked" and "power". Therefore the currency market must be made free, fair, and open to competition, if you want to keep the government in check

Allism is a much bigger problem than psychopathy, but the judging is rigged.

Surely psychopaths can gain self control, no?

@@frito9421 It seems more likely than Allists getting control.

​​@@frito9421psychopaths have more (relatively) self control, because they are not controled by empathy or a conscience, by guilt, shame, or love, just by their own whims and desires. What they need is less control. They need to be put in prison until they can be given a conscience. It's been attempted multiple times, and each time they fake a conscience, usually get released, then prove to still be soulless monsters.

That contradiction is the smallest problem I have with this video. It's kind of an absurdity, how we use "free will" to describe choices that are not at all free, but completely controled by physics, but we use many of these flawed words for lack of better words, describing situations so complex that accurately defining them would be unreasonably long. This leads to contradictions such as this particular one. Those without a conscience are not at fault for their lack of conscience, and didn't choose to not have one, but they did choose to do evil, because they have no conscience, anr if we just let them run amok, then we'll have devastating climate change, pedos in the churches and schools, dioxins and plastic covering the planet, BigThink spreading propaganda that helps those without a conscience, and a Trump v Biden presidential race. Wait... I guess they're already running amok.

You had to endure so much. I hope youre doing better these days and found peace and contentment!

I don't have words to encourage you or give you hope in some easy way, but I feel that if you get through all of that is because maybe you will inspire people that are suffering same as you. From the bottom of my heart, I send you light and I admire your strength for going through all of this. God is with you.

Wow im so sorry I hope you are doing better now 🙏🙏

two psychopaths wouldn't date or marry one another

​@@tone3560did you see where it said that they were paid to marry each other?

Selfishness comes in two flavors: self-centered and other-centered. The former in its extreme is socially destructive. The latter in its extreme is altruistic, even if it can be personally destructive. We call the former jerks or monsters; we call the latter heroes. Psychopaths cannot improve; the rest of us can.

load of horsedung.

Ehy does acting with intention *guarantee* self-interest?

empathy and altruism can be cultivated if you are interested. There are a series of practices from Buddhism called Metta and the Four Immeasurables that start with the seeds of empathy you already have and through intention, attention and visualization increase the likelihood that you will experience these prosocial emotions.

Why do you want to do that? For real.. why?

​@@anderandersson5229Why do anything?

@@HidingFromFate To find a partner. Or to help your kids in life. Or to make your parents proud. For the feeling it brings you. Whatever that is. But im asking why someone wants to share this video with people for educational purposes?

but why we saved her is the real question, i would argue nobody does it for selfless reasons

@@007kingifrit interesting

@@007kingifrit the book Altruism, by Matthieu Ricard is excellent . It challenges your assertion that altruism is secretly selfish. I agree with you though that in many instances, what appears to be altruism my have at least a subtle self interested motivation but the author differentiates this from TRUE altruism and provides many compelling examples.

Read up on Martyr Syndrome, or Saviour Complex.

if you're worried about being a psychopath, then you aren't a psychopath.

@@BigTimeRushFan2112 haha. very true

95% percentile bayBEEE! 🎉

You should consult to therapy to ask if you are, instead of diagnosing on yourself

No one chooses to be the way they are. Not one person.

Drug addicts definitely chose to be that way.

@@al-imranadore1182 not at all true

@@TheAmishUpload They didn't chose to take the first doze??

@@al-imranadore1182 Wow, you really are ignorant, and you like to advertise it. Wrong again sparky.

Do you think they can be reasoned with? It’s who they are, a composite personality of all the things god hates, not some, all!

@@randyfournier8299 No, they can only change if they decide to themselves, you can't do anything for them. It is possible to make them realize their own traits, and lead them to want to improve though, but that is unlikely to happen.

Narcissists lack a stable sense of self unlike most of us, their mask, or identity completely built on external things (like others' feedback, achievements, etc.) is their only sense of who they are. But the thing is, it's very fragile, and it's not true confidence. Keeping up this mask is the only way they can feel any sense of self-worth, and if it breaks, they suffer what is called a "narcissistic collapse", which is like a deep depression. This narcissistic collapse is what drives some narcissists to get treatment, and for others, therapists, after teaching them healthier coping mechanisms, will deliberately trigger one as part of the healing process. But it's not a good idea to trigger one in them yourself, because it can be very dangerous for you.

A lot of those personality assessments are garbage.

I really enjoyed this book, it help me put very puzzling behavior into context

Its not acring if you care for you own interests, its narcisissm. Great example is my mother taking us to the dentist every six months...it was (a) to get her ass off work for the day (b) make us look taken care of to hide the neglect.

@@stoneneils And you think it is possible to do anything with personal interest /motivation at all? What or how will that depressed zombie state look like? And if I care for others to care for me, you mean that's not caring at all? Explain that twist for me, please?

@@ramblingthoughtsandideas yes it is. its just not understandable to psychopaths. thats why you are struggling so hard with the concept and fighting every word of it.

@@gravity00x your reply is not clear. Can you be more understandable, please?

@@stoneneils incorrect, narcissism is being overly self-centered. i'm sorry that happened to you, but those are not signs of narcissism.

Yes, psychopaths can mask. Remember, they are unable to feel empathy, so it's not a choice for them. You would have to see inside their brains to know for sure. Are they really feeling empathy and helping people, or are they simply helping because it really benefits them in some way. Without reading minds it can be hard to know.

​@@shakeyj4523the best way to tell for sure is to see how many narcissistic tactics they use, and how often. They could just be a moron who's misogynistic because the world is, gaslighting by accident, because they don't know the truth with which to not gaslight, or they could habitually lie, virtue signal, marginalize easy targets for narcissistic supply, bully, push people's buttons, manipulate, tantrum, et cetera ad nauseum.

To answe your question jordan peterson has narcisisstic personality disorder not psychopathy. :)

What are we talking about here...? You sound like you're talking less about psychopathy and more about hatred figures on your political opposite? Growing up misogynistic or brutish does not make them a psychopath.

@@fen4554 growing up misogynist and brutish is one thing, being a full grown adult who knows better but does it anyway makes you a jerkhole.

There are people who are altruistic and don’t internally and secretly get self gratification out of it . But I get how that would be hard to prove

Perhaps you're naturally highly empathetic, but during your childhood, your empathy or sensitivity was used to harm you and you had to develop the ability to turn off your emotions (or your other side) as a way to cope?

Literally me right here ;-;

Psychopathy is an attractive trait to women.

That may be covert narcissism though. Covert narcissists see themselves as perpetual victims and everything bad in life happens to them instead of being caused by them. Psychopaths solely do things for personal gain and to get stimulation, and have no need to get others to see them a certain way to fuel their ego / self-confidence, they only do it to get something they want. They also don't care about what others think of them unless it impacts how they can benefit them. Covert narcissists though, are deeply insecure on the inside but hides it by acting like the victim and never taking responsibility. They maintain their mask for validation that they are missing internally, and they feel like responsibility, blame, and criticism are personal attacks to their already fragile self. Both lack empathy and manipulate, but they do it for different reasons.

I have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach one?

Her name is Maurice Gleti, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

This is a great scam boys, good luck

O yes.

A lot of mumbo jumbo to play down the devastating effects of psychopaths on humanity.

You HAVE a personality disorder yourself I''m afraid to say. Its evident to me as a borderline you've got a paranoid narcissitic stance in which therapists are evil, cluster-b's are evil, and the anger/rage in you is clearly palpatable. Best case you just have youtubitis lol.

Bravo for being sober.

Well said buddy 👍

Yes to all that you wrote💜

PAUSE. Did she just-- she just cited Iron Man as a hero...! But she's a psychologist! Iron Man CAUSES ALL the problems! Even after death he's still a menace. It's 2024 and when I watched Iron Man again, his whole personality was cringe 💯. But like I said this society supports and doesn't recognize psychopaths as a problem-- like she said, it doesn't recognize psychopaths at all. Peace and Health

I agree lol. Their condition is defined by the absence of humanity, which has catastrophic consequences on the human people itself and there are people here, completely disregarding that fact, downplaying the sheer destruction and misery they bring, when psychopaths are left to their devices.

I don't either. My faith is in Jesus. He has made me hopeful again. Check him out, Your Hope may be renewed and I pray he gives you the blessings of life.

I am sorry you have been hurt. But have all people hurt you ? If not, don't those people count as members of humanity. Why is it that the rare negative events define the entire category ?
