23:05 intrusive thoughts are more complex than what people give them credit for. I still remember when I planned mine. Fortunately, I never had the motivation to actually pursue them, but I understand where Joe's coming from. The planning only means will, not commitment. Poor Joe...Trapped in his own mind and body...I know how it feels to be limited by the body, but not trapped by it. I always loved the fact I was born with Asperger, I find myself among the unique thanks to it. Also, I know what Joe did was wrong, but if even knowing of mental diseases will not wake up empathy in the bullies, what will ?

@stef96ify 12 күн бұрын

Great question. I was born Asperger's too, diagnosed at 19, lived about 11 school years until 3rd grade middle school with the same bully, I usually tried to avoid or ignore him, only in the last few years I asked for help and the teacher tried to stop him, but only in the last class dinner before summer, as the bully tormented me again, there I shouted out all the frustration I accumulated, scaring him for good. After that we went to different high school and university/workplace and I became a software developer, while he worked in a pizza restaurant. A few months ago I had a dinner with the old class and I saw him again: for all the evening he always avoided talking or even making eye contact with me, after all those years it was such a satisfying moment to feel some defeat in him.

In "Star Wars: TCW", there was this quote that said "Evil isn't born, it's taught.". Even if a child is born with unfiltered urges, without the proper nurture, that's when they'll turn evil. I wonder what's the definition of "evil" by people. By the older brother's standards, it seems "evil" correlated to the entire world. By Jake, it seems "evil" is merely the norm. Neglect, spoiling, despair...There are so many ways for a parent to break a child. But it'll be up to the latter to choose the reaction according to the beliefs engraved in their brains.

Even before the reveal, something in the way Jake talked felt...wrong. I'm curious about something. How can a psycho/sociopath have so little regard for his own body ? I thought their lack of emotional stimuli would lead them to be extra careful about those, since they're extra narcisistic. Are they that empty inside ? What's all the narcisism for if they won't even care for themselves ?

@saralovelace7219 12 күн бұрын

What felt wrong to you is that the emotion was performative. The way he expressed emotions from the start--- he *looked* like he was acting. Similar to what you see in old cheesy sitcoms. This is actually pretty legit (source; I'm a therapist XD) in terms of antisocial personality disorder; the people who struggle with this often do not understand emotions or how to display them sincerely. So they practice and copy what they see in media/from other people. If they're good at that, they can become VERY persuasive, charismatic and appear very genuine. If they're not so good at it, they come off like Jake does here; with a level of 'performance' that is offputting to others. As for him hurting himself, it's not about having little regard, and it's not about narcissism. It's about manipulation to get what he needs/wants. Jake is likely extremely aware of the fact that he doesn't really 'pass' well when it comes to expression of normal day to day emotions, so he needs a backup plan. Notice how much more believable his emotional display was when he was able to just lean into the Big Drama of it? That's his Get Out of Jail Free card, literally. But he has to have the story to back that up. So he hurts himself, concocts a story to justify the emotional breakdown, and uses both to manipulate the adults around him into meeting his needs/desires. This is also pretty textbook accurate--albeit on the SEVERE end lol. Being extremely manipulative in pretty much all areas of social contact is a diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder.

@JabamiLain 12 күн бұрын

@@saralovelace7219 thanks for the explanations. I also have difficulty expressing some day to day emotions. I hope I don't come off too performing either. It's not that I don't feel them, my face and voice just don't express them as easily as other people do, which is ironic, because I've always been complimented whenever I perform in theatre. I get he needs a way to backup his story. But to hurt himself kinda casually ?

An aspd person will ofren cut and hurt themselves. They bruise themselves and say others did it. Common tactic. They dont care about themselves alot commit suicide as they do know deep down they are bad and have to manipulate. I had an aspd partner who often bruised his face and lied and said whoever he was mad at did it. He did it so often police even caught on. He wpuld every few months break dowm and say he wanted to be someome different; but this is jist for pity. They even attempt suicide to get out of court cases etc but its always well timed; when they need emotional support.sometimes i guess it is they feel bad about their actions but when they aint caught they dont break down they only seem to break down when they realise their actions have consequences they cant escape. Arguably the boy in video is a psychopath cuz a sociopath gets more emotional and would be very upset when sentenced however short as they feel they dont deserve it. A psychopath know he deserves more and can keeo themselves regulated with thoights like that. They are very manipulative people , incredibly. The beat way to deal with a sociopath or psychopath is get as far away as possible and never look back. Trying to out them will backfire.

Emotional abuse shouldn’t be hard to prove if you see somebody is manipulating someone you see someone’s constantly trying to put them down or do anything that is seen as emotionally manipulative I just can’t list all the things without making this a huge novel but it shouldn’t be hard to prove I was emotionally, abused as a kid, and I can tell you that the signs are pretty visible as an adults talking to people who knew me when I was a kid. Some of my friends are even saying now as adults you know, now that we’re adults we’re kind of seeing the behaviour you displayed was showing that someone could’ve been emotionally abusing you obviously, that was my best friend who brought that up and that was because I had brought it up first but what I’m saying is now as adults me and my friends can look back on my behavior As a kid and clearly see that I was being emotionally abused and these are friends who sometimes didn’t even come over to my house. These were Friend’s that I hung out with at school and stayed friends with and then only started hanging out with outside of school when school ended meaning when we graduated they had never been over to my house and seen what happened there so I don’t think it’s that hard to prove if you clearly see like for example, in this situation, the mother is using food to control him and he is clearly not wanted her to know that she’s eaten. He’s nervous about her. He scared about her. They should immediately be seen as abuse. The two detectives were absolutely right while I agree at this point in time they can’t exactly prove what kind of abuse it is it’s definitely either physical or emotional

Hypothetical scenario, if during 4 years, a kid refused to leave their house, and school, or any other institution didn't help, and in a desperate move, the mother decided to take advantage of the fact they were moving outta town to cut the kid's access to some basic needs in order to force him out of the house (the company contracted for the change would cut the electricity, so while there would be food, it would go bad after a while), would that be abuse ? Edit: Thank you for all the answers. Btw, for those who didn't recognize scenario, I based it after "OMORI".

See when I think basic needs I think food water and shelter. So if any of those are being threatened then yes it’s abuse, to me at least. But if it’s a matter of the child or the environment then I’d have to simply question the motives, but if the child is still cared for then no not abuse.

A pharmaceutical company had a business partnership with a bunch of psychologists, and they just sent out a free trial of their medication to a bunch their patients without mentioning the negative side effects or that the meds hadn't been properly tested. The company saw that the mother had previously been prescribed antidepressants so they sent a sample of their medication to her. She read the leaflet and their glamorised description and thought it would help her son, which is why she tried it on him. They proved the Pharma company was being negligent and tried to have the CEO charged with facilitating a murder but instead he was charged with criminal diversion of prescriptions and reckless endangerment and was imprisoned
