[@Sebastian-pi5ro]

I feel like a lot of times I had way to much remorse or way to little remorse in other times. But from watching this video I have realised that I’m a literal narcissist pretty sad figuring out I have a personality disorder but I’m not surprised I have it. Because I was kinda traumatised as a kid when a girl like when I was four randomly left one way and I never saw her again. I always chased girls and seemed attention after that idk but once I reached 15 I Sudeenky started caring about hiw I dressed and what I looked like. Which I never cared about what others thought about me or said before. Then now I suddenly start staring in the mirror for way to long imagining that I’m as handsome as top models. I think my narcissism is just that bad I start thinking I’m one of the most attractive men alive when I’m clearly not. Sometimes I think I look super good other times super ugly idk anymore.

[@Iliketobeeducated]

I think it’s more so self importance. At the end of the day, everybody is driven to do things to benefit themselves.

[@v.m.7239]

Your self awareness is good because it can provide a path for your long-term goals. With sociopaths, there is often a disconnect between what messaging your body is sending to you. This is often a result of emotional pain from long ago. Healing through that can allow the connection to be built again so you can naturally feel the empathy required for a sustainable relationship. If you can learn to remove the self blame for your original wounds, the easier it will be to take accountability for any current inflictions on others so that you can improve your situation to one more favourable to your future.

People with ASPD see straight through narcissism, it's the same way people with depression can see through someone faking happiness if I were to describe it.

[@Psych2go]

good observation! That makes sense. People with ASPD would likely recognize narcissistic traits because they operate within similar frameworks of manipulation and self-interest, just with different motives. Similarly, someone with depression might have an acute awareness of emotional authenticity, making it easier to spot someone faking happiness. Do you think this ability to "see through" others is more of a survival skill or a natural byproduct of their own experiences?

[@Angel_Lover_Blehh]

@Psych2go Both, I have ASPD and my mother is a narcissist and I could always tell when she was looking for attention (or guilt tripping and such) when others couldn't, but it just got amplified by my own experiences, now I despise her so much I completely gave up manipulation because I don't want to be her.

[@adamb89]

Yup came here to say this. Within minutes of meeting someone I can tell exactly what their bent is and how to handle it. It's kind of like how mentalists do their thing. You might not know exactly how you're gonna get in, but you're looking and realizing that personality is falling apart. Full of openings. You've just gotta toss out a few probing questions, one to gauge their interest, then another to antagonize them slightly. Once you've identified what they like and what makes them recoil, your foot is wedged neatly in that door and will be near impossible to remove short of them having enough total awareness to recognize both sides of what's going on simultaneously, and simply shut down entirely.

@@Angel_Lover_Blehh Have you thought about maybe having Complex PTSD from emotional ab*se, being raised by a manipulative parent? People with C-PTSD will often display antisocial tendencies.

@@adamb89 having grown up with narcissists myself, too, it's so easy to spot. What's baffling to me is how narcissists sometimes seek each other out, or narcissists make friends with dangerous people. Like, they don't see any of the red flags, they just bumble around and accept friendships from anyone and everyone that titillates their ego. My brother and I somehow managed to differentiate good people and bad people, and all our friends are good people. My parents rarely can tell the difference and befriend people who later swindle them. Over and over. Lesson never learned.

probably because they're in the same cluster is behaviors. Narcissists are sociopathic and sociopaths are narcissistic. I do also wish people would try to be more informed since it is, as you said, a legitimate term with differences.

[@58-7q]

Indeed. But unfortunately even after this video many people use these terms incorrectly to describe someone who displayed eccentric behavior they did not like. It takes a professional, preferably a specialist, to make the difference more clear and pointing out that not everyone you like is a narcissist/sociopath. Sometimes even a professional can spread biased information due to limited knowledge (since they are human just like the rest of us) and lead to more misinformation and incorrect use of these two terms. I would prefer calling a sociopath by the name of their disorder (if they are indeed diagnosed) since sociopath is an informal term.

[@augustuscaesar8287]

Self aware sociopaths, the kind of people who don't engage in harmful activities but also don't seem seem to feel any empathy or remorse... they very quickly become annoyed by narcissistic behavior. If the narcissistic person becomes aware of the sociopaths disdain, they'll try to make it seem like they're rejecting the sociopathic person first, before anyone is aware of the sociopaths disdain for the narcissist. That, I feel like normally leads to a situation where the narcissist talks about and tries to make fun of the sociopath behind their back, and when the sociopath hears about it, says something like "Isn't that sad that person's so spineless they have to say it behind my back". I'm just saying, sometimes it plays out like that.

[@liandre9035]

That would be probably me. I have a narcisisstic father and i am supposed to respect the man for all his sucsess hes done in live.. But like most people that make issiues out of bs, i cant see him more than a bug. IF that is just a safety mechanism so i dont waste energy on getting angry (disregarding peoples importance) or if im alredy dealing with some kind of disorder idk.

[@augustuscaesar8287]

@liandre9035 It's highly possible, and I can actually relate to that. There were scientific studies done some decade or 2 back that found people with psycopathic/sociopathic qualities have a smaller amygdala than average. Then, they did a test to see just how often that smaller amygdala appears in everyday people, and found a whopping 1:100 have the smaller amygdala. The conclusion being that a smaller amygdala is genetic, and that a smaller amygdala doesn't guarantee psychopathy/sociopathy, but definitely predisposes you to it. They also concluded that, normally, a person with a smaller amygdala who isn't psychopathic/sociopathic tend to be less empathetic, with an increase in logic replacing the decrease in empathy. I also have a somewhat similar relationship to my father, except I'm 33 years old now. There's a certain level of respect he's learned over the years however, since I've become a manager, something he's never been able to do, as well as being able to speak about 6 different languages, 3 fluently and the other 3 conversationally, and without a college education. He absolutely hates being compared to me though, and he is highly narcissistic... whereas me... let's just say if anybody were to ever try to rob my house, I'm the person who's designated to take out the trash, if you catch my drift, because I'm the only one who'd be able to do it and then get a good night sleep. He still talks crap to my family sometimes, he does about everyone, but everyone knows to just listen and not take it seriously... that is the folly of narcissistic people, they think they're projecting some great person while in reality completely discrediting and isolating their selves.

[@intellicogroup405]

As a narcissist myself, I disagree with this comment and the part of the video that suggests that a sociopath can outwit a narcissist by feigning praise. It’s not so simple if you are dealing with someone who has very strong powers of perception. Personally, I do have main character syndrome and due to being talented in many areas (had to drop that in there sorry), I do seek praise and validation but only gain pleasure from genuine validation. I do have empathy and I’m very good at building and retaining relationships and can read people extremely well so a sociopath can be spotted a mile away. And their lack of deep interpersonal skills can be used against them especially in social settings (like the workplace) where passive aggression, belittling and peer pressure can be utilised in front of them and a group, not behind their back as you mentioned (only if I wanted to be petty). Im actually quite a self aware “functioning” narcissist which allows me to be cunning enough to hide my narcissistic traits 😏 and it’s only when people get on my bad side (sociopaths in particular) that some of the negative aspects of being a narc comes out 😂

[@eskhalls]

Imagine how many people are in the world.

My "father" was a narcissist. He would be manipulative, controlling, always wanting complements, allergic to criticism. Classic case. Both my mother and stepmother fell for this... creature. I believe he was both a narcissist and a sociopath since he loved to play mind games, and he and I often clashed, and he didn't care about anyone's feelings nor did he care. He said that he did, but I never trusted him. He's been dead for almost a year now, but I'm still trying to recover from his antics when he was alive.

My sperm donor is the same way. He’s such a vile, nasty person. Stringing my poor mother along for 18 years while he did whatever he could to punish us. Ironically, as an autistic person, I get called a sociopath or a narcissist. Yet as an autistic person I have at least twice the empathy a normie does. It’s just presented differently. So I changed my name and decided to leave behind his legacy. He and I are polar opposites, and if more people saw us together they’d wonder how I’m related to him. Hopefully my kindness and compassion make up for all the damage he’s done.

I’ve met a few high-functioning sociopaths in my life. They seem to be comfortable with me (note that I experience empathy and am actually pretty sensitive to the pain of others). As long as they’re not hurting anyone I really couldn’t care less about what they’re doing or what they do or don’t feel and I think they appreciate that. I don’t judge. I’m very strategic with most human interaction (although, again, I care deeply about people) and I find the minds of sociopaths to be fairly straightforward. It’s fascinating watching them drop the act. I’d never let myself get emotionally connected and I kept a close eye on them, but still, they’re fascinating. Narcissists, however, those people drive me crazy 😂. I think I’m more logically-minded and narcissists are ALL emotion.

[@legendoflex6881]

There is still debate scientifically with the nature vs nurture debate, with most people concluding that neither of these alone makes up a whole person. Personally I’d say that it is definitely possible for someone’s upbringing to lead to a potential disorder. One statistic to keep in mind is that children are 200 times more likely to develop a mental disorder if their parent has one as well or they live with an adult that has one. No where in that statistic does it say the child will develop the same disorder as the parent. My biological mother is diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder…And in my opinion she is potentially an undiagnosed narcissist. Trigger warning: She SA me as a child as well as put my life at risk multiple times. She married and divorced a man that was a drunk, suicidal, and physically @busive father. This environment likely is what has lead to me having unprompted panic attacks since childhood. I don’t even need to be upset about something for them to start, and often mine are so bad that I lose the ability to move my hands or stand up. Luckily I was able to move out of that environment and live with my father. The environment he fostered was far from perfect, but a big step up from all of that. I bring this up because there was ONE TIME where a panic attack for me at 17 lasted to two hours straight, and resulted in me having an auditory hallucination…After I admitted to what happened two years afterwards I got seen by multiple psychologists that are trained to diagnose mental disorders. All concluded that I do not have Schizophrenia or anything similar to it. The doctors I went on to explain that even a “sane” person can have a temporary break from reality and hallucinate. I think my father’s more stable environment is partly responsible for me not being diagnosed. Why? Because there are also a lot of studies that have proven someone who has the genetic makeup for schizophrenia can have the symptoms be dormant for years till a traumatic event takes place and basically triggers the symptoms to start. Although still stressful and not perfect my father’s environment was a serious step up from what I lived in my whole life. It’s been eight years since that one time I hallucinated and nothing even close to that has happened since…But had I remained with my schizophrenic, bipolar, narcissistic, ped0phile mom I believe there was a good chance I’d have more and more hallucination/delusional experiences to the point where I could be considered schizophrenic myself. To some it all up yes I think we have enough scientific evidence to say that your parent/or someone else’s parent having a mental disorder could contribute to you developing one yourself. But that the environment and stress that you go through in life can also help determine whether or not that condition develops. Could you develop it without the genetic makeup?…idk. I personally from my experience think that it is possible for someone to go through enough stressful situations for the brain to behave or cope rather similarly to other mental disorders.

[@intellicogroup405]

As a narcissist myself, I disagree with this comment and the part of the video that suggests that a sociopath can outwit a narcissist by feigning praise. It’s not so simple if you are dealing with someone who has very strong powers of perception. Personally, I do have main character syndrome and due to being talented in many areas (had to drop that in there sorry), I do seek praise and validation but only gain pleasure from genuine validation and have zero insecurities, so not fussed if someone doesn’t like me or doesn’t praise me. I do have empathy and I’m very good at building and retaining relationships and can read people extremely well so a sociopath can be spotted a mile away. And their lack of deep interpersonal skills can be used against them especially in social settings (like the workplace) where passive aggression, belittling and peer pressure can be utilised (only if I wanted to be petty). Im actually quite a self aware “functioning” narcissist which allows me to be cunning enough to hide my narcissistic traits 😏 and it’s only when people get on my bad side (sociopaths in particular) that some of the negative aspects of being a narc comes out 😂

For some of us, observing a narcissist and a psychopath interact is like watching a live cautionary tale-part psychological case study, part grim entertainment. It’s a stark example of how toxic dynamics can create a self-reinforcing loop, where each person’s worst traits fuel the other’s. At the same time, it serves as a powerful reminder to appreciate relationships built on growth, mutual respect, and genuine connection. It’s not just about avoiding people stuck in cycles of manipulation or self-interest; it’s about intentionally seeking out those who challenge us to grow, inspire us to be better, and support us in becoming the best version of ourselves. Witnessing these contrasts reminds us of the profound value in cultivating relationships rooted in honesty, accountability, and a shared commitment to evolution.

[@medusagorgon9]

Unfortunately, we're being constantly exposed to both types 24/7.☹️ Personally speaking, my ex FNL was a narcissist. Until meeting him I was not aware of what the mental disorder was! But after spending some time with him I knew something was 'off'. This was over 30 years ago, but I eventually figured it out. Ironically, my ex who spent years complaining about his father started exhibiting the same behavior. When our marriage counselor mentioned it (she could see it without me saying a word), he LAUGHED!!! That's when I knew it was over. He had no intention of working on the problem, and I had no intention of repeating his parents marriage. I got out as soon as I could.

People tend to mix narcissists with insecure people that are easily prone to envy yet still very prideful. The majority of people you will meet will come off “sociopathic” and or psychopathic when there truly isnt a difference besides the fact one is made and the other is born. Majority of people that you meet will seem to be on the spectrum of psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism but in reality are just not. Theyre youre average person that has confidence and confidence is a feeling that decreases the feelings of stress and anxiety. A psycho doesnt have confidence they just have a complete lack of fear so the difference between the psycho and the average person is that, when in a situation where you know you are losing people will tend to try and use there confidence to go against the feeling of fear that way they can think “clearly”. A psychopath doesnt feel confidence nor will he feel the feelings of fear making it so when in a situation where they are in a losing position they will identify their strong suits, there weak spots, and there enemies weaknesses. We are all capable of this thought process as we all share logic but the only difference is, is that the psycho never loses focus of this thought process. They have an inability to feel fear which disallows them too not feel confident. They can understand when they are on the winning side but they wont feel as if they are winning

At the end of it all, it is only a spectrum and everyone has there breaking point, its just that some people dont and those people are your true psychopaths

I've once met a sociopath online. Everything you say here is true. Everything. I can confirm, because back then, and at first, I didn't know they were a sociopath. But the way you explained it here explained my experience. They were short-fused and wanted complete control. Therefore they manipulated members of their server and exploited their desires. I still don't know their motive for why they did it, maybe it was just a training session for them. We were all so close to becoming dependent on it but they slipped, and the entire server turned against them, because they started telling us to end ourselves prematurely, and lots of other horrible things, this was because I got angry at how they started ignoring their own community, and they burst out in anger. Later we found out they were in a mental hospital for doing stuff to their parents that made them no longer exist. However, I can confirm this , so I can't really say it's true yet.

As a sociopath who got to meet a narcissist, it's pretty much as the video describes. Indeed, you go looking for easy pleasure and an experience, but it doesn’t take long for it to become a burden. As easy as it is to praise a narcissist with compliments and criticisms, they are too much of a rollercoaster. Waking up to swearing after a decent night, screaming. In the end, as hard as it is to maintain a relationship with anyone, with narcissists, it’s simply too exhausting. For the fellow diagnosed ASPD's in the comment section: focus on timid, shy girls. It’s easier to get reactions, it’s low maintenance, and it’s also way easier to let go once it gets boring.

However, a narcissists will throw away a very high paying job if they stop getting adoration at their play of work, and instead go work in a company paying 2/3 their current salary if this new company is gasing them up all the time. Pure "psychopath" and "sociopath" can't relate to such levels of stupidity. Imagine throwing away more money for what? Admiration! Since the beginning of time I'm pretty sure you couldn't trrade Admiration for a bowl of oat.

[@tendrillion3580]

It depends, high functioning sociopaths tend to be more intelligent than your average person, and that inevitably turns into a "superiority complex" to some degree. They often grow up being more quick witted and possessing more insight and foresight than others, so teen/adult high functioning sociopaths develop this framework where they can feel like they're surrounded by animals. This tends to be confused with narcissism but they're different things, a high functioning sociopath can tell you factually why they feel superior to others, a narcissist can't without relying on baseless ideations.

[@TheWerttyFiles]

Nope, the only similarities between the two are the complete lack of empathy for others, a lack of remorse, and the use of manipulation for their own ends. Outside of that they are pretty different; narcissists have an inflated sense of self and grandiosity, they think they're the best, while sociopaths do not have that quality. Sociopaths typically go for dopaminergically rewarding things, often through eccentric or taboo things, and seek to gratify their own self-interest, though not necessarily in an ego-driven way like a narcissist would.

It’s mostly about lacking certain feelings society considers "human," like morals or remorse. That doesn’t mean everything we do is driven by ill intent. When you try to mimic emotions you don’t actually feel, it can sometimes come off as hurtful to others because it’s not authentic-it’s not what I’m really thinking or feeling (or not feeling, in this case). Sure, there are sociopaths who deliberately manipulate others, but for me, it’s more about trying to fit in. I can’t genuinely provide love or affection, but I still crave it, so I fake it. I put a lot of thought into every action so the other person perceives it as love, which, yes, is manipulation. But it’s not like we’re playing mental games 24/7 or something, lol.

Can you do Narcissist and paychopath meet each other?

[@Psych2go]

That’s an intriguing idea! The clash between a narcissist and a psychopath would definitely make for an intense dynamic. Would you like us to explore how their personalities interact or the potential conflicts and power struggles that might arise? 💛

@ That sounds so interstinggg

I am a diagnosed sociopath and I have had relationships with people with NPD several times. This video is actually accurate you explained it very well

[@уронить]

I think it’s important to understand that there are no “sociopaths” or “narcissists”, just people with those types of tendencies. Someone personality is rarely as simple as a common personality type but will often display common thought patterns in response to common stimuli, which gives way to what we understand as more clearly defined personality types.

I grew up with a mother who was raised by a narcissist (my grandmother) and who developed a manic mental disorder when I was 6. I developed sociopathic traits (never diagnosed) and I used to be very manipulative and still have the ability to do so, but I stopped using my abilities for evil because I wanted a genuine human connection, and that can be only get by being genuine and truthful. I disdain narcissists with a passion and take pleasure in breaking their facade and forcing them to face their uncomfortable truth, that they're not as good as they like to make themselves out to be. My girlfriend of 4 years was a victim of multiple abusers and went from being a SA victim, to being in a foster care of a narcissist that WORKED in foster care. She's better now, I taught her how to recognize manipulative behavior and how to defend herself against it. She's making steady progress and we're looking to moving in together. Despite everything I'm still me, I hold myself to the mark of being completely honest in my relationships, so that I can be a person worth loving.

Yes on meeting a narcissist part, and sadly, it's my own father, honestly, idk if he's a narcissist or a sociopath, cause he literally act's like both, he's a constant lair, like he lied about being in the military for no reason, my mother found out he already had a wife and daughter and son, I remember one of his girlfriend's got into a fight with him and she tried to twist my arm the way he did to her (basically assaulted me when I was a child) and when my mother tried to charge her with assault in court, my dad stood up for his girlfriend at the time and said that it never happened, and he only visited me to try and get back with my mother, but once she got with her now fiance, he never came around, he only given me a text on my 16th birthday (I'm 17, turning 18 in January) and never heard from him again, and I had to start every conversation, and he rarely pays child support and lied to the government about not having any money and told someone that he lied so he didn't have to pay child support to his own autistic daughter, now he has the risk of being deported back to new Zealand and have to pay for something that's like child support but for the rest of my life, I'm sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to share my story, I hope you all have a wonderful day

[@raintalon6138]

Ppl talking about who "wins" pr "beats" the. But its just a cycle. How can we even judge who comes out on top? The who who feels less poorer off? The one who harms the other more? The one who gets more concessions from the other?

[@Kelvostrass]

My mother is a covert narcissist - cut her out of my life permanently at 20, not seen her for 10 year years and I intend to never see her in the future. She abused me growing up and refuses to acknowledge her actions and she convinced "her side" of the family to leave and not speak to me - the only communication can be through her. I told her I'd be willing to see her again if she simply acknowledges her actions and apologizes to me. But she's in denial and her side of the family have created this false memory of events. So glad I'm away from that horrible woman, having peace is very important. Had to block her a few years back as she wouldn't stop trying to contact me and the communication began to distress me. If hell exists, she has a seat reserved for her when she passes.

My ex was a bit of a narcissist but he was too dumb to understand what it meant but he always tried putting me down and im a bit of a sociopath so id use his tactics against him getting in his mind driving him crazy even when we weren’t talking just because he liked playing dumb and often tried playing with my feelings after I ended things with him he said he wanted me back but ik he only loved having me around to kinda boost his ginormous ego 😅😊

yes my father is a sociopath and my mother is a narcissist. It was hell living with them together. Never peace!

No way my situation is the exact same, expect my dad was a sociopath but my mom was a narc and a sociopath. Jesus...

[@rickywhapham-cz5dd]

y'all know these are still just people. Though they may be more prone to destructive behavior, they are also capable of being well-adjusted members of society, and singling them out or making them fight in your head like pokemon is unhelpful.

[@rickywhapham-cz5dd]

if you ever get a chance to meet someone with these conditions you should strive to be a positive influence on their life without damaging your own health. In other words you should treat them like people because that is what they are.

People will never get it. The population of psychopaths is too small already, and the amount of non-dangerous is a tiny percentage among the psychopaths. That's just way too much nuance for an average person, it's not practical for their brain to keep this high of a resolution.

[@tatianapellegrinelli]

@ellengrace4609 I hurt him more than he hurt me, effectively managing to drive him off, or pushing him to punish me with the cold shoulder/silent treatment, which allowed me some short periods of relative peace away from him. He also killed himself, so I'm rid of his manipulations for good.
