An Interview with a Sociopath (Antisocial Personality Disorder and Bipolar)

[@jakublizon6375]

I like how he mentioned that emotions are trumped by logic, and then they use that logic to recreate emotion. Like someones grandma dying, you don't feel it, but you do understand what your response should be. It sounds exhausting tbh.

[@krazyxki]

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.

[@mishlake1]

Sympathy or what researchers call cognitive empathy

[@Merinzify]

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.

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 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.

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'.

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.

[@bonappetit173]

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

Rare is the person with this disorder that can turn a lens of scrutiny on themselves. What makes sociopaths/psychopaths so dangerous is their refusal to admit they have a psychological problem.

[@communistwookie1243]

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.

[@drdre4397]

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.

The more awareness, the less fear and the less cases you will hear of people with this disorder becoming dangerous

[@emme9606]

@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.

The only reason he does so is because it serves him better than the alternative. He basically realized that "playing nice" is a better long term strategy for himself, that´s it. There is no way anyone can seriously trust a person with no empathy or remorse. If the situation turns and it will benefit him, he will cut your throat without any feeling of guilt whatsoever.

Listening to him was extremely informative, getting a personal look into the mind of someone with ASPD in a transparent way was really incredible and important. I really would love to talk to him more about his life and experiences, his unfiltered honestly about his disorder is fascinating. I think education around this disorder is so necessary, it’s really important for people to understand these people aren’t the way they are because they’re just mean awful disconnected dangerous people, they have a disorder that literally makes emotional connections impossible. Judging and looking down on people with ASPD is just as wrong as judging someone with any other mental health disorder, they just need understanding and special circumstances for interacting with them while protecting yourself.

[@annabellaerwin7659]

I’ve scrolled through the responses here, and I’d like to say that I have ASPD, added to that, I’m high functioning. Thus what I have to say I feel should be taken into consideration. Of course not all of us are the same. Firstly, don’t feel pity for us. I don’t understand it, I don’t feel it for you, nor empathy, I just don’t see why you feel it for people such as myself? Frankly we don’t care, we care so little I can’t begin to describe it. We don’t care about the fact we don’t feel emotions as you experience them. That’s leads me onto another point, we do feel happiness, though it’s very stunted and bland, generally, it feels almost artificial. Same goes with the majority of emotion except anger and aggression. I personally go through phases of extreme numbness and back to a blandness, I have no attachment to life, so perhaps that explains my very stunted emotional experience. However, I can’t say for certain. Just know, we don’t care for you nor your opinion, I’ll listen to you obviously, I don’t go out of my way to be a pain, I just don’t feel any attachment to you or what you have to say. Another, happiness is a capability, however it’s not as enjoyable I assume, it’s an artificial and dry feeling. I hope this helped. :)
