A perfect “hitting a nail on the head” statement

[@OliverWilson2]

That statement hit the nail on the head.

[@ladonnaramirez4467]

Cassy is dead on. Im a nurse that operates best in highly stressful situations. Im used in times of chaos to bring stability & calm to whatever situation. I was badly abused & neglected as a child. I feel nothing or I feel anxious. Im the happiest kindest person you'll ever meet. Very good to hear you speak Cassy. You are a light. I believe we exist for a higher purpose indeed.

[@susanoline5823]

And your kindness will never be lost. Maybe you don't feel anything, but I bet you make many people feel that kindness. I often feel dead inside, empty. Everyone acts everyday. I know so many people, me included, that have these type of mental problems. My son, autistic, adhd goes through this stuff. Tell you the truth, people like this are welcome in my house. I totally get this girl.

[@ms.charlie841]

Same except I didn’t see myself as classically “abused” but as a teen in the 90’s older men in their early 20s manipulated me I don’t even know what to make of it though because I was a participant.

[@Kei-k9y]

Are you a psychopath too, or? Like Neurodivergent psychopath. No judgement just wondering.

[@cameronsaldana1513]

Same dude same…horrible childhood and terrible home life. I only thrive in chaos unfortunately and I am ALWAYS anxious. And me too I am always so kind to others and love to help people.

[@karino4kad]

Same here. This happens because we got used to living on high adrenaline levels. When everything is ok, I feel apathetic. But when something is stressful I feel like a fish in the water.

[@Ms.Lucipur]

Childhood trauma can follow you your entire life and have a permanent negative impact. I truly wish her the best.

she chic was born at the perfect time, she gets to play the victim & people go along with her BS. folk with her condition aren't even aware they have it. she's the total opposite. she know exactly what she's doing.

[@Ms.Lucipur]

@ You’re entitled to your opinion, yet there’s no need to be negative. Everyone handles trauma differently.

[@BarbaraJanee]

All personality disorders, if processed and worked on, can be put into remission. No amount of trauma is too much trauma. You have to do a lot of work but any personality disorder can be worked on. Theres always hope

[@rashadhouston]

⁠​⁠@@BarbaraJanee A massive amount of trauma can certainly destroy your life. The brain doesn’t care how much work you do, it will do what it wants. Sometimes you break through, other times you don’t. You are part of the problem in society, and why people with brain conditions and mental disorders struggle even more.

[@Ashlei211990]

My mom was mentally emotionally and sometimes psychically abusive to me. Also neglectful. I feel like the trauma will never go away no matter how much therapy I've had. It's definitely changed my brain. All I can do is not to repeat the cycle with my own daughter!

[@thenotoriousg.e.m]

Plz, as a clinician, can you say more ? I feel like the nowadays society is making us all to become “sociopaths “ or “psychopaths “ in some way …. I’m listening and watching this and I can’t see no abnormal from what I have to be everyday at my job or other daily routine stuff I have to do. Am I a sociopath or psychopath ? Or it’s just a “ normal shit “ right now so u can cope ?

Beautifully said! I couldn't agree more! Especially coming from a mental health professional as yourself! 💖💕💖💕✨️✨️

[@jared_slouch395]

She says she may not feel love, but performing loving actions is worth more than just feeling it. I feel love, but I find it hard to perform loving actions.

[@morgenmachen2400]

Maybe your idea of loving actions are different. I say this because ive never been a physically affectionate person, nor one who says affectionate things. However, eventually i took a love language test and came to understand my love languages are acts of service and gift giving. I actually didnt recognize actions as affection. Just a suggestion as i clearly dont know you at all, but possibly you express yourself in ways that are different?

@jared_slouch395 really glad to hear that Jared. Its hard going through life thinking something is wrong with yourself bc you're different (like Cassie, and like all of us in one way or another to different extents).

yess it’s very different for each and every neurodivergent person, there’s subcategories to the main subjects (ex- anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder borderline disorder, ocd, ect)

Mark, Thank You. I started watching your channel as a nursing student when I was struggling to find worthwhile resources for psych nursing and your interviews with Amanda were invaluable; because of you and Amanda I am 10x more patient, compassionate and empathetic with patients who can be difficult to relate to. My care is better because of you. Cassie, thank you. Your, perspective, your insight, authenticity and truth telling are like a salve to me. Your existence is serving such an important purpose for me and I am thankful for you. In your first video, you answered Mark's question about advice you'd give to other neurodivergent people by saying to, "Try." I will, and I hope you will too.

This young woman rocks. Impressive how psychologically minded she is and how much she values awareness, insight, self-knowledge and knowledge in general. How beautiful that she chose to be vulnerable and open and discovered that is how deep connection with others happens. I hope she will continue to speak out and be offered platforms everywhere - everyone needs to hear every aspect of her lived experience. Transformative.

Once the mask falls you can't pick it back up really and you see the torment it's causing her to mask once it's off. Painful actually

[@randallcauley9484]

re-late. Unmasking was very, very difficult. Three year process (still working through the new normal, but the heavy, difficult, frozen to thawing, shut-down to numb, and fight back to the surface work is done). It was brutal. The fallout of that un-insured, under-resourced time as been 5 years going on six. The recovery from the social / financial impact of that time will take much longer it seems.

Yes I agree! The feelings are there, she just needs to be safe and ready to feel them.

[@LynMariLu]

⁠@@bethsangree397 Is this idea just us seeing her through a neurodivergent lens, though? In other words - projecting our experience and understanding onto another because it’s all we know? Not to attack your comment at all - just browsing the comments section because the video and subject is so interesting. I’m just wondering if this kind of thought might be inaccurate and thus, damaging. Again, I’m sure no ill will was intended, but if I were her, and I genuinely couldn’t feel and people were insisting that I can under the right circumstances, it might push me over the edge (especially considering she is already suicidal and probably gets this kind of commentary all the time.) Hope this made sense. I know we both wish the best for her

[@chupakami_]

The interviewer obsession with her unmasking in front of the camera was so intrusive. That's not a party trick. She is fascinating, he is not listening , or not understanding. She is younger than me but made me understand so much about myself Thank you. Really

[@danielle.xoxo.]

Omg yes someone else agrees. I mask aswell and in my experience a coping mechanism can't just be taken off. I myself have tried forcing myself to stop masking and idk if I appear more myself but I definitely don't feel like myself. I don't think its something you can control, it just fades as you become comfortable and safe with your surroundings/ people. Idk man I found the part of the video where he was trying to get her to act "normal" rlly weird. Forcing it isn't gonna do shit. Poor thing trying to explain why she can't just stop a coping mechanism on request. Yuck, horrible aftertaste

[@tleemf6923]

He often does not listen

[@alessandrakostic9049]

Mneh, if she is really masking it entire time it would be easier for her to stop faking. So actually this is her true self, she is not masking anything.

[@tekoahshear1785]

​@@alessandrakostic9049you clearly don't understand what they mean by masking. It can mean.hiding oneself as coping mechanism or it's harder or easier for one to tell they are unique

[@VersusArdua]

It's moments like this that make me sort of dislike Mark a little. You'd think after doing all these interviews with neurodivergent people that he'd understand how out of line that was, especially asking a second time.

[@Daisy-the2nd]

Feeling nothing seems like a goal for some of us that are full of anxiety and depression , we are medicated or we self medicate. If you’re not harming anyone give yourself a break. Remember when you meet someone they also have issues , you did the right thing by being honest , you will find someone who appreciates that.

[@nhlibra]

"Remember when you meet someone they also have issues" THAT is so spot on! It's easy to forget this because others give the appearance like they have everything put together.

[@carynmartin6053]

[@madisonbaxter9906]

[@katewilliams5230]

You say this until you chronically feel nothing and all you want is to feel something. Neither problem is worse than the other. Just different ❤

[@deathbywords]

Well said. I think not feeling sounds wonderful.

[@rozdevin2468]

I was homeless and cheery too. I tried hard to look normal. Actually, I was positive when I was homeless ~ with God in my heart, I was guided and protected during those humiliating 6 years. I am so grateful to have the Lord with me.❤ 🙏

[@randallcauley9484]

IF you're not cheerful, people will divest. IF you're not cheerful, people will label you as "ungrateful" to excuse themselves. The "well-meaning" get to feel better about how they feel bad about it, without ever lifting a finger. Stay far from them. Homelessness is mental instability, and 6 years is a long time to survive. Glad your situation is better now, AND that you were guided. So many people who could do just the bare minimum to help are so entrenched in some pretty bizarre psychopathing behaviors toward homelessness. I wonder more about those "neighbors" who are passing by to stay "clean," hide in the religious duty (to not help), and asking leading (and telling) questions like "Who is my neighbor." Hope folks in your Tradition can learn from you. That bunch has got a LOT of explaining to do, per the Teachings. Some folks that don't spend enough time in James gonna have an awakening of some kind at the pop quiz around the Aramaic "anawim" (often translated in English as "the least of these" - but it's use is really something closer to "anyone who's not able to pay you back" or with less influence and impact than you can use for bni networking). To claim the name, probably more of us should tremble if we're not about the transformation of the mind. And figuring out what "neighbor" means.

[@mariaportas5401]

Not all therapists are good. They are a dime a dozen and sometimes not experienced enough. Don't give up ❤

[@user-jh7cq3ct6u]

I hope you have other therapists to choose from and can tell them exactly what you just said. If im paying a therapist any money, oh you know I'm gonna tell her everything I feel. Maybe you're not as put together as you think and you probably avoid confrontation because you don't want to be the "angry black woman". People who got their stuff together don't need therapists. We usually just vent to friends or spouse or close family. If you need a therapist, find one that suits you and listens. Don't be afraid to fire them.

[@KM-me6ev]

I’m a social worker in mental health. Shes so extremely intelligent… I feel like we could / should learn so much more from people like her who live their reality day to day so much more than we’re ever taught in school. People need to learn to listen rather than tell people what their reality is from the textbook. Listen to what people are living bc no one is defined by just one thing they’ve been through and no one person fits in to one specific diagnosis. I feel like she’s been told you can’t do this if you’re that , you can’t be this if you’re that. That’s not how humans work … and anyone who tells you otherwise is a quack. People grow, change, heal, get sicker… It’s not simple.. we as humans are complex and trying to put someone in a box makes zero sense. It’s unfortunate to say the least that the people who are supposed to be the ones out there to help and help her find answers and some solutions to what’s she’s experiencing on a daily basis have only closed more doors for her than they could ever open.

The fact that she does good things simply because she wants to help, wants to do good things and doesnt get good feelings, feel happy to do for others makes her exactly how we're supposed to be. Doing for others without recognition or praise. I find her so interesting, enlightening, intelligent.

[@MakingMidori]

I’ve been homeless and I’m on the spectrum and this is a common issue for us..financial instability and home displacement. I’ve been through extreme trauma as a child and I can tell she has too. I understand exactly what she means. Homelessness takes a serious toll on your mind. If you’ve never been through it you can’t conceive it. I don’t think she’s a psychopath - she’s just had to find ways to remain sane while surviving. I like her a lot. And she’s incredibly intelligent. I hope she finds someone who can be patient with her and love her at her pace. Sending her some love..💗

[@randallcauley9484]

Not to minimize the serious issues imposed by the "normalization" and hegemonic thinking (and thousands of interactions involving social stigma, bullying, abuse, and disregard) that those on the spectrum experience in terms of frequency, but the issue of homelessness, the reality that it is a trauma (along with the treatment of cases, the malpractice and malfeasance by design in American programs after the 90s defunding and attack on these agencies), and anyone experiencing homelessness is (reading the risks and landscape correctly) are experiencing mental, financial, social instability. The counterpart (slapping "fix your face") for "displacement" in social sciences regarding social violence studies is called "targeting." People go after the most vulnerable, and have no problem acting out abuse (housing, financial, social). We are most definitely lying about the amount of pretending, abuse in our families of origin and in our intimate partnerships. Having feelings isn't an excuse for the boyfriend's reactions. Dude in men's group - "I did it because I was having a feeling!" Men in the group - "Oh, great, you had a feeling. What was it? Can you name the emotion? Dude in the group - "Because she xyz" 2nd Man in group - "Ok, but we're not walking on egg shells or dancing around you in the house because you got to experience an emotion." Dude in the group - (wondering what he's supposed to say since the first gender scripted take on "I had an emotion" didn't involve applause or instant agreement) 3rd Man in group - "Ok, so you had a feeling, forgot about empathy, and here's your partner, she just had three feelings all at once and could still maintain connection and a conversation." Some of that is just unfortunate. He could be diagnosed for the assumption that having feelings is somehow a special demand. It isn't.

[@auntviolet]

Exactly! That is pretty much what I was gonna write. I don’t think Casey is a psychopath either. I think she put up with a lot of shit, and taught herself how not to feel…and also, Casey, stay in therapy and keep working on yourself. You are not a sociopath. The fact that you have feelings about your feelings, shows you feel feelings, or even have feelings about having feelings about your feelings. Yu can’t see it right now. Keep going, you’ve just learned how to hide, but many people do, and they are not sociopaths. I get it about the amygdala…what you have is an intellect and a desire to feel. You don’t need to fall in love right away. Sometimes it take years. And by the way, you’re really pretty.

[@randallcauley9484]

the layers in freeze and activation, that cycling (which coffee in our culture is such a great hack or cover for) is what makes it difficult for self awareness and introception "receptors" - feeling tone for self - to track. You're already doing better with this than most therapists did for nearly 30 years working with "autism" because we were tracking it against a presumed "normal" that really doesn't exist in the structures or functions of the mind - they are culturally imposed. That interface overwrites and socially-scripts a lot of what passes for (or is dangled) emotion in social interactions. Appreciate the comment

[@randallcauley9484]

@@alisonmercer5946 Agree. I want to accept her experience from where she is as wholly valid. AND it's informative. Agree with you here. there are "structures" and parts of our mental functions which interface with "feeling tone" and read and contribute to "the subtle body" or the emotional body where information moves back and forth across the thresholds of what we might designate as separate in the "body-mind complex" - NOT having access to that would be akin to the brain atrophy and emotional impact of an ACL tear. There's something missing, and it affects how we move. (Tibetan Buddhism, Manas Yoga - yogas of the mental bodies - plural, and Sufism all have, generally, much more robust, and tested, concepts of "mind" than most of the rote and mechanistic and over-simplified models used in "western" psychology)

[@sciencenotsrigma]

I would question that diagnosis, as well. I have been diagnosed with PTSD (before CPTSD was considered), and there was a point when I felt like I had no feelings for anyone, but I was really just disassociating from myself and my feelings. I couldn’t go through regular SA, blocking out all my feelings, and just turn them back on like a light switch, when it was a different situation. It took a lot of healing work and grounding exercises to even recognize that there were times when I was safe. My body and psyche had just decided I was always in danger. That certainly lessened the trauma of feeling safe and trusting, then having another traumatic experience. I could just eliminate that by never being vulnerable. For that, emotions had to be turned off, for an extended period (permanently, I thought). Then, I had my first child and realized I had to be present for her, so I started working things out. Someone suggested the Courage to Heal workbook, which was extremely helpful. I have also needed to work with professionals. I have studied psychology, in a master’s, and I think some of the ASPD criteria are biased. They include violating social norms. I’ve lived in the streets, and many people do violate social norms to survive. Some entire families do this, for multiple generations. That is more of a culture than a generations of people, all with the same personality disorder. A lot of street people and criminals have a different code of ethics, but that’s not, at all, the same thing as being amoral. I think the language in the criteria should be more specific to norms of empathy and ethical behavior, not just behavior the larger society does not approve of, in general. I’ve known a disproportionate number of street people and people with a criminal record diagnosed with ASPD, which I don’t think is accurate. My dad was a criminal, and he was more inclined to live by his ethics than anyone in my mom’s family, who are law abiding people. Warmth can be something a person conveys without feeling it, but autistic people and trauma survivors can have a lot of feelings they aren’t very in touch with, too. I don’t see psychopathy or sociopathy in this young lady, either. I’m not a professional, but I would certainly question the existence of those traits.

“My father & I were VERY close” is very telling, imo! It certainly alleges she is capable of bonding & feeling, if certain conditions are met for her……unfortunately, her father will most likely be the only true love of her life in her mind unless she gets the appropriate help, as he abandoned her at a very vulnerable time in her life which was becoming a (young) woman which she intuitively connected his disconnect to her bc of her age related new sexuality (womanhood) which is also the point he abandoned her so, it’s logical & reasonable for her ‘disconnect’ between love & sex (where was her father when the SA was going down?!) and where I would now suggest she delve into educating herself on NPD & how one can be a cerebral narcissist (asexual, as she mentioned & thought herself to be at one point) & at other times a somatic narc (sexual, but no feelings of love/bonding- just transactional)…….(Def not autistic bc she clearly & easily has the abilities to make new friendships/relationships which is not indicative w the autism spectrum) and definitely may be missing her niche bc she definitely endears some acting abilities, where masking/pretending/capable of appearing happy, pleasantry although on the inside feeling the complete opposite are actually assets & so, instead of believing she’s disordered she should take those qualities she believes are negative & use them to her advantage instead & begin acting school?!!)….Parenting 101: Never concentrate, try and change, make a big deal out of a child’s weaknesses but instead put focus on the strengths & provide outletS for those strengths! We also need to be mindful that our memories are not always the way things actually went down & is why a great therapist & familiar involvement in that therapy is important & can be life /soul healing….she stated she feels nothing but no one’s going to buy a dramatic wig that doesn’t care what she or others think/feel about her appearance (except a Narc would)…..I’d she her to bring some receipts so we can know she’s not armchair winging it & merely self diagnosing bc that doesn’t help her or anyone & so, coming full circle I think it would be awesome if Mark could bring on Prof. Sam Vaknin (author of Malignant Self Love) as he certainly could shed some light/insight on all the different & various human subject’s Mark has on his channel! 🩵🦋

The poverty that we aid in abet in this country is violence, is sickness. Sure, poverty is everywhere, but this is not everywhere. Just being weak at the wrong time and place can provoke random violence in this country, all over it, and we’re always at war. Question: Do most men have as much fear as women about unprovoked violent attacks? Women have to dress in a way, depending on various factors, to feel attractive because this is what is expected, to not “look homeless.” Do men dress to “look” homeless? A man can be naked and homeless. Who cares! Well, all live among predators. Ever notice. To be female means to be weaker in the body. Fact. Having been normal and homeless, this disregard for this lady’s predicament triggered me, and I just had to say something. Being homeless comes closest to feeling like you might as well be dead, which is equivalent to the sensation that you’re losing your life regularly. This is where people with billions, LIKE NO TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET, walk about in squalor and won’t devote a dollar to make things better unless they profit in some way. Is this sanity? This is the same nearly everywhere in the world. But here, there is extreme violence where otherwise normal people can be driven up the wall only to learn that they don’t have a wall. Your middle-class projection analysis does not consider the actual environment in which this woman lives. What’s a young woman’s worth unless she looks a certain way?

Being viewed as the bad actor in her family when it could be argued that her relatives failed to support and protect her is a double bind. She is still looking for solutions for everyone affected. Thank you Cassy and God bless x x x

You mentioned “bad actor”👉you know more than you know!!!….

@@kimlarso Yes! #scapegoat is also another way of putting it x

@@kimlarso textbook line from the NPD family enforcer. So, maybe more insight and less of the "jumping to conclusions like it's an Olympic sport" will be both insightful AND get you into better conversations. If that's a thing that's interesting to you. Lots of this kind of classified behavior for folks who communicate for agreement vs understanding. It's kind of a cultural setting. But not a character claim.

Women**. You wouldn’t say “ I hope she can speak further on these subjects regarding males” it’s a scientific term that is used to describe the sex of an organism. It doesn’t fit in the context.

Cassie- you are a survivor. Your honesty and self deprecating nature is not only brave, it’s prodigious. You’re incredibly sharp and self aware. Don’t you let anyone tell you different. Mark was trying to “show” you just how incredibly astute you are. Thank you for your tremendous courage in speaking with Mark and to us all who watch. I wish you much peace & health. (I suspect Mark has a huge network of professionals who could and would probably assist you in finding medical assistance & advice.)

If she's masking, she's doing a really good job of it. Interesting interview.

I have a sibling with this disorder, they mask 24/7, they have many masks. You won’t spot a psychopath unless you’re up close.

This young lady is Beautiful, Eloquent, Intelligent and very aware of herself. I wish her many, many blessings on her continued journey through life.

It's just a theory.. I love watching all her videos, but I truly find it hard to believe how everytime she laughs in this interview, she's 100% faking it, as she says. I wonder if this has to do with her alexithymia, which is a difficulty indentifying one's own emotions. I don't know, it's just cause everytime she laughs, the intensity, the timing, it all feels appropriate. She portraits a consistent sense of humour - not as if she's laughing at random stuff. It all makes sense. And she even shows difficulty sometimes stopping the laughter! It could all be for show like she says, but I wonder if maybe she's got so used to her traumatic environment at home where she genuinely cannot find joy in, that, alongside with her alexithymia, when she finds something actually funny to her, she is too emotionally blind to consciously realize the laugh is actually real because that's the narrative she's internalized to herself "all my laughs are fake"? Fundamentally, how can someone laugh and be so sure it's fake while having a condition that that blinds their own emotional awareness? Probably, maybe the laugh is genuine but she cannot feel joy from it? As if it's a reflex action of a sense of humour that's buried under her conscious brain? She has a reflex to laugh, but she doesn't feel the joy of it? Is that maybe what she means by it being fake? Anyone with alexithymia here can give their opinion on this?

This was incredibly interesting and educational. Thank you for sharing all of this, both of you, but especially Cassie.

[@rachelvolpe7326]

Cassy, thank you for being so honest about masking. I’m a 23 y/o woman and I truly believe I’ve been autistic my whole life. I haven’t been diagnosed, just diagnosed with ADHD when I was 20. Made me feel very seen hearing someone talk so (what seems like) comfortably about masking “acting”. Or which I believe more, is surviving.

I am a high masking autistic female.i picked the 'tism in their pace and tone.

[@GavelGuided]

She was interviewed on this channel over a year ago. Search for "Autistic/Antisocial Woman Interview-Cassy"

[@ayyalicia]

I’m fascinated. What do you mean?

[@kplusr1596]

@ayyalicia very hard for me to explain. Could it be like the equivalent of a "gaydar"? It's like speaking to an excited child catching their breath, but in a far more subtle grown-up way.

[@annicadennison3949]

I do the same thing and sometimes unintentionally mimic their accents or speaking patterns … is that an autistic thing? Or just a thing in general? I have cptsd so maybe it’s something with that although I’ve been doing it as a young girl before that trauma got to me so idk. Just curious I never encountered anyone who said they did that I always felt sort of weird

[@MSharm8]

@@kplusr1596Yeah it’s easy for me too. Don’t think I’m autistic though.
