"If there's nobody around me, then I'm nothing". This is such an interesting dilemma for people with NPD and ASPD. Because at the same time people mean nothing to you, they mean the world to you, because they're those who validate your ego and your accomplishments. A life without people for those with ASPD or NPD is a dull life.

[@kikithepupper6774]

​@chelseachyannejessyyork Check the explanation given by Dr Abigail Marsh and Dr Kent Kiehl on the subject. The valid and accurate scientific term is psychopathy.

This really made me appreciate therapists. I dont think I could do what they do because I see this woman and hear her answers and I think that if I were actually there, I would have zero idea on how to interact with her, much less how to help her. Now I know why good therapists get paid so well.

[@dashkinblacksmith3998]

You do know therapists get paid right? It's like any other job and sitting there listening to a psychopath babble sounds really easy.

[@uggggggghhhhh]

@@johnbeans2000 Did you read my comment? I said I know why they're paid well so obviously I know they get money. Are you a therapist? They do more than listen. They help people but its almost impossible with psychopaths because they don't see anything wrong with their behavior and don't want to change. Have you ever tried giving people advice? Its not easy because they all have different ways of thinking, of doing, of growing, of being, etc. "Just be happy" isnt going to work on someone in therapy for depression. Now consider schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline, anxiety, ptsd, etc. They dont just sit there. They change they way you think about your feelings. I doubt you could gget someone from being clinically depressed to mentally healthy all on your own by "listening", with zero education or experience. They need to understand their disorder and them as people and how do you understand someone that suffers with some disorder you have never had? Advice I give you could work for you but not on another person. I genuinely think therapy and being able to befriend people of all walks of life go hand-in-hand; that's not something anyone can do. Consider social, cultural, religious, political, gender, etc limitations too. All of that plays in to how a person thinks and acts.

[@swiftbeatrice776]

Very accurate. This entire interview reminds me of how no one actually knew patrick bateman, he was just an "idea" but not a person. Patrick Bateman cant relate to, or empathize with, other people. He can't make a "connection" with others, he can only use them for company; the company gives him some kind of comfort but not real friendship.

Woah 70 years living this way, it would be interesting to watch an honest interview with you like this one.

[@ricdavid7476]

@@karenalves1156 Not sure it would be that interesting. As far as i can work out my psychopathy is derived from an internal emptiness upon which layer after layer of what is in effect an act had been placed since i can remember. Ultimately it is all about self deception. For what its worth I think i lived the first 50 odd years of my life totally devoid of anything resembling a conscience and it is only by the grace of God that i did not end up seriously hurting people. That said i made my first wife have an abortion , something that haunts me to this day. She got very ill after the procedure and nearly died and whilst she was in the midst of her illness i left her. I then married again and treated my second wife very badly, no physical stuff just emotionally. Come my mid fifties i had a crisis of "conscience" due to infidelities and drug addictions and it was at that point my life changed somewhat i became a "born again christian" ( i no longer am religious or call myself a christian) and started developing a conscience and what i suppose could be identified as human emotions and feelings. I still suffer from feelings of alienation and dont warm to people much and try and avoid them where possible and have terrible insomnia. i was diagnosed with prostate cancer about a year ago so am dealing with that now. My life is not particularly interesting just life i suppose. I try and find beauty in nature and animals and find young children very charming and heart warming despite not having any of my own. I was badly sexually abused by a teacher when i was in my very early teens and while i dont think that was the sole cause of my woes, i certainly dont think it helped anything.

[@KrakenWind]

Considering that humans for at least 10+ years have to rely ENTIRELY on empathy to survive makes us irrationally afraid or unnerved by those who lack it. Empathy, alongside communication, is the barest foundation of a society; people who try to be edgy and say that society doesn't have empathy or need it are forgetting the 1 absolute reason why they've survived to adulthood; someone cared enough to feed, clean, and shelter you as a newborn and toddler.

Interviewer: "Why did you decide to get treatment?" Psychopath: "Because. I want. To fit. In." Que Simply Irresistible by Robert Palmer

[@Jillian.Dreams]

Went through a breakup with a psychopath, he was cold and strange at times, but he wasn't the horror other people describe psychopaths as. I kept wondering if he was a psychopath but thought he wasn't because of it so I thought he must love me that my suspicious were wrong. I am convinced now that he never actually loved me, these videos are helping me understand the different variations and spectrum. I really appreciate them. This woman and her interviews are SOO much like him, some things it feels verbatum something he would have said. I thought he was autistic, and maybe he's a dual diagnosis. but he is so much more like this woman than what I've learned of autism.

Think socio and psychopathy is way more complex than we realise and i think its a spectrum but i could be wrong

[@TuberoseKisser]

Most likely therapy....like she said.

[@marcuspatwell]

to be a psychopath is to suffer from the symptoms of psychopathy. To not be a psychopath is to not suffer from the symptoms of psychopathy. Psychopathy is curable as the disease is fundamentally symptomatic. Psychopathy is a combination of behavioral conduct disorder(s) that fall under a common impulse, i.e: manipulation. You can resolve your worldview and associated conduct disorders with therapy and psychoanalysis, therefor psychopathy is objectively "curable". However, people usually aren't identified as psychopaths until their behavioral conduct creates serious problems in their lives- the resentment may have built up to a degree by this time that, while possible, it is highly unlikely the individual will rehabilitate themselves during their lifetime. We in society punish psychopaths, as normal people learn from punishment, but psychopaths feel punishment is just another obstacle to overcome in their objective. It is also subjective. If you were trading mortgage securities, you would be rewarded for "psychopathic" behavior, as you would present very strongly in negotiations, and would likely never accept a deal that puts you on the under hand. Try doing that to customers at taco bell, and see how far you get before you're wearing an ankle bracelet. TL;DR: psychopathy is fundamentally curable, but the psychopath must want to be rehabilitated, which means they must have done considerable work internally before seeking treatment. As such, the treatment rate is low, but most individuals who reach for help end up finding it in a meaningful way.

I can always deal with people who recognize, acknowledge, express to others and seek help regarding their issues.

[@rachv6764]

I’m confused…. I thought psychopaths wouldn’t seek out treatment, because they don’t think there is anything wrong with their behaviour?

[@okay.thats.enough]

They know in most cases, about everything that’s wrong with them. They just don’t care because of lack of empathy. To put it differently, they acknowledge clearly that they’re doing wrong from an intellectual point of view but they don’t feel they are doing wrong from an emotional point of view. That’s because the parts of their brain responsible for shame, guilt and fear are switched of, with activating only in rare occasions and for a short time. If they get to the point of intellectually understanding that manipulating and hurting people goes against their best interest( as she said every three years her life would crumble) they may change their ways. That being said, is not gonna be a change from an emotional point of view, they will still not feel empathy as they are incapable of it, but they will mend their ways to benefit themselves. If you want to benefit yourself, you’ll need to be truthful, trustworthy, nice and polite, do no harm and the average person will not harm the psychopath. As much as to most psychopath it gives a sense of superiority and satisfaction to either harm others or manipulate them, and they find pleasure from it, to others it gives a sense of superiority and satisfaction knowing what they’re capable of but being so strong and mighty to not do it. One more thing, is not that they have no feelings, is that they have no empathy, shame, guilt or fear, or any feelings towards others. That do care about they’re image though, that’s why they won’t tolerate people calling them out and putting them on a shameful spot.

[@leonfa259]

She noticed that she was self destructive and wanted to stop it.

[@nikobitan7294]

The reason she sought out treatment isn't because she understood that her behaviour is bad, but rather because of the destructive consequences for her resulting from her behaviour. The only way you can teach psychopaths empathy is by relating it to their personal benefit.

I am questioning whether this woman is a textbook psychopath. Most pychopaths do not self-reflect. They act on instinct to bether their situation via manipulation, no matter the consequences to those around them. If they use a relationship to further their aims, they don't pontificate on the ones they leave behind because they focus on the fact they have achieved their goal of a better position. Their lives don't fall apart, those of the ones they interact with do. She may be on the scale, but if we're really honest, we can relate to much of what she says. Maybe this series is a ruse to get us all to see ourselves as psychopaths. This woman is no Ted Bundy, aside from the same smile maybe.

[@ian7033-qj9wg]

Its a myth that all psychopaths are serial killers or capable of being so. No such thing as "textbook" psychopath which is why it takes trained medical professionals to diagnose one.

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

The only reason I've said so many horrible things here about this person is because I know she's laughing at all of us without even a second thought or care. Call me a victim. (Or, maybe someone should call HER a victim. A _new_ one!_ ) This is a promising world we live in where forums like this allow for understanding both on HER part and OURS. She mentioned that with therapy she range of emotions grew. This reminds me of The Eurythimics songs "Here Comes The Rain Again." (A song is C major, but who's verse works off it's relative minor: A-minor). "Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like a memory. Falling on my head like a new emotion." C major, I see as red, and individually, it sounds warm and weighty in texture. Love songs are continually written in this key. Songs of personal experience and happenstance. A final note is that I have notices that serial killers and sociopaths often speak in what I call non-base keys. Meaning they speak in the black keys, not the white ones. The black keys are the "complex keys" to me. I have videos of examples of John Wayne Gacey and Jeffery Dahmer spacing of their crimes in A-flat. Blue. The key of death. Whereas, I have observed that in general conversation we speak to each other in the key of G. Aquamarine. Key of fluidity. // What's interesting here is that 2:06 she DOES speak in A-flat (key of death/blue), but after talking about have a newer, expanded sense of of self after therapy, she speaks around the root tones of the keys of B and B-flat. Therefore, she undergoes change. She has grown. I think it's as much an age of Enlightenment as it is a perceived age of world of Doom & Gloom as portrayed by entertainment such as Doja Cat and Billie Eilish were they present themes not only as demons, serpents, and fallen angels, but with the context of a wold of fire, and destruction. Their perceived world of horror and evil both within and without. Yet, clearly in this video there is a true revelation of human understanding, and even an sense of peace within one's self. Even if that self is of lizard. Sure, change is not easy, and it an even hurt. Greatly. But I DO se hope. I see the light. Thanks to all and God Bless, Your, _Acoustic Rabbit Hole_

@witzemacher thanks, totally see that. Especially since it’s more of a social descriptor rather than medical term. A psychopath is usually more tame and plotting, and even more void of emotion than a sociopath from my understanding. Like I guess a psychopath can be on a high speed chase, and their heart rate will still be normal, whereas a sociopath may have just a slightly higher raised heart rate than baseline. I know both have aspd and more similarities than differences but the differences are definitely interesting.

why would she lie about that? she said she left it there to drown, she just didn't want to bother finishing drowning it herself. that doesn't make her look good lol. she could have just not brought it up in the first place if she was trying to look good. people are sooo bad at psychoanalyzing it's insane. your theory literally makes zero sense but you're so sure of it hahaha

[@tedcrilly46]

@@DevinDTV because she didnt think it would sound so bad, until it did. So she backpeddled. Its not psychoanalysis, its common sense. Just cause you didnt catch it doesnt mean you need to get all salty. Psychos are good at manipulating. So dont feel bad. Actually do, yr a cnt.

Interesting question. You wake up in a room the world has ended there is a baby alone on the ground crying and hungry only you can help it. What do you do?

You saw a pattern every three years give me a break my pattern is every three months if I'm lucky The only time I had longer relationships and employment was when I was in the military because I would be deployed for 6 to 9 to a year and a half at a time

[@sarah.j.777]

I thought psychopaths didn't care if they had authentic connections? or maybe she didn't like the fact that her inability to connect was disallowing her from getting what she wanted so she needs to learn to emulate authentic connections? but that would still be manipulation. I'm confused.

[@Lepsaeus]

It's common for people to think that individuals with psychopathy, histrionic personality disorder, narcissism, or borderline personality disorder are solely driven by their egos and excessively self-centred, and thus they bash the ego to no end. Let's make it clear, 2:05.

[@spookeymo]

yes! and in most cases it's rooted in some early life trauma, it's easy to write people off but the truth is, nobody chooses what cards they're gonna get dealt, especially when they're children

[@DancingDeity]

Why are you lumping borderline personality disorder with psychopathy/histrionic/narcissism? That’s an insult to BPD folks.

[@spookeymo]

@@DancingDeity its not, all of them are personality disorders

[@Lepsaeus]

@@DancingDeity Often the trail of devastation left behind after a relationship with a person with BPD is comparable to the rest of Cluster B disorders. It is all the more tragic when it's a parent. Additionally, the person with BPD can switch self-state to secondary psychopathy.

@@mildajuoda638 A lot of psychopaths in walking in society not Harming anybody and are just trying to live their lives, they choose to follow the rules. Although they are a small percentage and make up most of the prison population there are still some that choose to be good, although they can't feel empathy for othees. it all comes up to personal choice really it's not like psychopaths are possessed to commit crimes.

It’s so strange how she doesn’t look at the camera much.

[@eggheadusa]

She probably just isn’t informed how be on camera. Psychopaths aren’t shy, they don’t care what people think (as long as it doesn’t effect them)

[@horisontial]

Well, I feel respect for her actually wanting to fit in and function in society. It's still scary how baffled she seems about basic humanity.

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

The only reason I've said so many horrible things here about this person is because I know she's laughing at all of us without even a second thought or care. Call me a victim. (Or, maybe someone should call HER a victim. A _new_ one!_ )

No. Not real love. That's what a psychopath told me, and I agree.

[@rosetheserpent]

I relate to the no sense of self but for me it was preferable being alone than being a product of my environment. A psychopath fills in the deficit. So that’s no fun. But these days I’ve learned a balancing act where I from that deficit observe and hone my skills as a Sympath. Then in my alone time use what I’ve learned as thinking ques to self reflect on
