Are you a trustworthy person? Ask a Psychopath

[@lizjane1349]

I think he's basically saying he has no "moral compass" but is able to adhere to certain behaviours that he knows are socially representative of trust (eg: punctuality). I know a psychopath who is undiagnosed, if he was I suspect he would not be a borderline case. He is obsessively punctual, and obsessively adheres to certain behaviours that "represent" trustworthiness to others - but clearly the internal moral compass is completely absent

I disagree. While what you're saying is probably technically true (and in practice I would feel the same way), this type of thinking is what leads people to never question "experts" who are fallible just like the rest of us. There is already a person in the comments who talks about the "experts" on COVID without having any idea how most experts feel about COVID and while just accepting anything they were told on the news during COVID.

So basically you can trust him to be on time and be where he says he is and mostly tell the truth. He plays by “the rules” so in a way that most people follow these rules most of the time so does he. What you cant trust is that he wont do anything to cause you harm in a situation where it would be a grey area in the rules or he will gain something he wants because he doesnt have the ability to consider your feelings.

[@professionalcommenter]

He's never had a close relationship with someone, so him being trustworthy doesn't apply in this context for him. But, in terms of like what he is describing like being on time to work or an appointment, then yes, he is trustworthy. But, telling your inner darkest secrets to him and then expecting him to be trusted with them, then no. Because a psychopath will think of ways to exploit weakness. Even if they don't act on that thought, it's still there.

[@qbb01]

The difference is most neurotypicals will consider whether the gain is worth causing the harm. They will stop and think about it, and you will be surprised to find that people will reject gains if it causes significant harm to someone else. Aka we rationalise it based on current and future emotions and empathy. The psychopath won't blink before they decide to accept the gain, irrespective of the person who will be harmed. They will be more likely to think 'will I receive negative consequences FOR MYSELF that outweigh the gain?' e.g. go to jail for something not worth it. Definitely lacking in empathy and definitely not the same as NT's.

I appreciate him explaining the gray area and concepts of it. You really would have to dictate what you feel is trustworthy; is it just being reliable and competent, is it being able to tell someone something in confidence, or is it feeling like you can believe the info you're given without feeling like it's a lie and your being tricked. Many of these things can be opinion based and a relatively healthy adult can decipher them, a child not so much. And trust is a spectrum.

I feel relatable to this man. One time in my life, I watched a friend of mine and understood through his behavior that responses get you other responses, and I like good responses from other people, so I started doing that, acting expressive. I was pretty good at reading the other's emotions and knew how to respond to them so that it matched the emotion that I was percieving in them. Because of that, I completely discarded the notion that I could be a psychopath... that is until I found out that psychopaths can have cognitive empathy. At this point, I am really wondering if I care about something, or just feel it because I expect myself to. When I kill a fly, I feel remorseful, but that is such an extreme that I wonder "Do I really feel it or am I just setting myself to think I feel remorse?" Sometimes I have to think to be sad in a situation where I should be sad. I've learnt to manipulate people into being happy just cause I like them to be. People are much better when they are in a good mood. I probably don't have psycopathy, but some symptoms just hit too close to home, so I'm trying to figure out myself what I truly am.

Trust is the belief that the other person will follow through with what they promised even when it is somewhat against their own interest. No one does it forever obviously but trustworthy people know keeping their word allows others to risk more with them in the future because they have proven to do what they say. It's like the financial idea of credit worthiness. Banks are willing to risk more money to you if you have proven to pay it back in the past. So trustworthy people can build larger long term teams of friends.

So, no. But he's actually right about what trust is. The complete, deep emotional unwillingness to cause willful harm to others is rare and people cause harm to each other all the time, it's just that after they realize it, or have others point it out, they make a bunch of excuses for it until they run out of rationalizations, then they feel guilt. This guy just doesn't. It's causing harm without justification that people have a problem with. Blame and justification are games to this guy. Sounds bad, but having your treatment of others predicated on a game, which is largely cultural, isn't much better. Evolution just has us taking those games really seriously when we're invested in them. This is why competitive sports get us so wrapped up, why having good guys and bad guys is important to the stories we read or watch, and why we see relationships as non-disposable despite them coming and going in our lives all the time. It's not a generalized principle, it's about who we get invested with. This guy is not invested in anyone. He's a consumer of relationships.

And then make a joke about it, convince friends he would not lie to THEM, just people we don't know. Always has a story ready, telling about his wild adventures. Then items start disappearing, and after a frantic search, that item is found in a place you thought you looked three times. Things suddenly break, and this guy would offer to help.

The telephone hold music in the background is the tell that a psychopath made this video.

I wonder how many psychopaths i've met in my life without knowing it. Most of them just kinda blend in.

[@Twinnzllc]

All he’s doing is reframing, which is a common manipulative tactic

[@budte]

I did not hear him answer the question. I heard him answer the question he wanted to answer. I am not sure he understands what trust is. Trust is, can I trust you with my small child, my cash, to not lie to or mislead me for your own benefit. I don't expect to trust the car salesman.

[@rafaellastracom6411]

I think a better question would be ´would you sacrifice for someone else?´.

The puppy photos in the back are very disarming. It's all part of his sinister plan!!

LOL

[@QuiK075]

This is an actual scientist Md in brain, he has psychopath traits and is married. His name is Jim Fallon look him up before judging someone because of what you see. If it wasn’t for psychopaths there wouldn’t be smart people out there doing great things not killing.

[@whitepouch0904]

Hahaha. I'm sorry I had to laugh just cuz he was trying to convince he is a trustworthy person and then your comment lol. Imagine if he read this.

[@naznow]

I find the background music incredibly distracting. I think the work/channel here is really interesting and educational but any background music really takes away from it(imo).

[@venepskeuten9206]

So from what i gather. Not in the way that we consider it "trust" as he serves his own interests only, but he does adhere to the principles closely related to what we deem a part of trust. So not "trustworthy", but "reliable". Its interesting. Clearly i cannot judge this person as i would a human without his condition. So i must judge according to the rules of his condition, which to me means in a mostly logical manner not considering my emotional input.

[@honeywest3460]

Fascinating

[@FadingAway10]

I wonder if it’s something “mental” that would cause a person to be a psychopath or if it’s more “spiritual” ?

[@rulebreaker_xoii]

I actually think that I'm like that. Pro social, or whatever he called it. I have OCD as well.

[@ziziprecious3124]

Why are they showing advertisement for a sharp knife on a video about psychopathy? Why is KZbin trying to trigger people? 😂👀

[@birdlover6842]

He seems more like OCD and OCPD. Once a person says their a sub clinical psychopath people will find negative things.

[@clarkme8952]

All psychopaths are narcissists but not all narcissists are psychopaths. Let that sink in

[@goodtoGoNow1956]

I think I would trust him to be on time and get things done. I would not trust him to get it done in a good way. I would always feel like I needed to check his path.

[@ozzyoz5210]

I personally haven't witnessed anyone who is a self admitted narcissist or psychopath! But what do I know!

[@inhabitantofearth]

This question is very vague. Can you trust him in terms of what? If you ask a psychopath this question, how do you know you're even getting the honest answer? How do you know they're not doing that thing where they try to tweak the answer into something they think you want to hear? Even non-psychopaths do this.

[@KrakenWind]

I would trust him if I was his business partner, I would never trust him otherwise. His idea of being trustworthy is to "Follow common sense" however, the one major issue with this is that common sense cannot cover everything. If he is blind to nuance and incapable of responding appropriately to unique situations that don't follow common sense, he will rely on his innate pyschopathy to handle everything, meaning he will resort to lying, cheating, manipulating, gaslighting, or sublty threatening to handle the situation.

[@AlaaChan]

As with most things in life, “it depends”. Black and white is not the only option. Neither black nor white is a viable option and lots of gradients on the spectrum.

[@MattSofianosGuitar]

Hmmm… distraction, distancing and then deflecting. 2 minutes in and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t trust this guy with anything, however likeable he seems.

[@cupcake0480]

How do psychopaths feel about cheating on their long term partners? Cognitively they know it’s against societal rules, but how do they feel about cheating and the devastating effect it has on their partners?

[@NaturalCureForWarts]

I've watched this guy many times but I still am not sure what exactly he did for people to not trust him. I'd like examples besides the basic "manipulation". Like what did he manipulate people into thinking or doing?

[@CCM8817]

Everything is an exchange

[@R.Merkhet]

Interesting fact. Dr Fallon is a descendant of Lizzy Borden.

[@Lyrielonwind]

So, he considered himself reliable and not like those borderline 😂

[@annihilationHaven]

How do you care about other members of the community after you are well taken care of, would be the more appropriate measure of trustworthiness. If the answer is zero, we have a problem.

[@machstem2536]

Say's he doesn't lie,his whole life has been deception

[@josephzicaro9913]

Sound like no but he doesn't want to admit it.

[@ekay4495]

That would make him lose face in others eyes, so he has to manipulate the situation/idea in his favour. He's a psychopath, not that any one of us wants to boldly claim a negative trait

[@briansharp7872]

Anybody see It in the left corner next to the bookcase? Comforting…

[@manueldeltoro9944]

I assume U can trust him when its abiut othwr things if it doesnt go against his self interest and the relationship matters enough for what ever reason

[@isaleal4597]

Lol this is a cool example. So if you dont trust me, it tells me something about you….classic.

They’re not so smart as they think they are if they can’t fathom what compassion is

[@KayKeyPerk_KArmaUnicornDreams]

Some people take things to literally, and some people analyze too deeply derivative Words can be a variant of a meaning like one word in one language can have to different meaning . “Everyone “ loves Unicorns but they are described as naïve and wise. So no it’s not manipulating it simplifying the answer by taking the long way round it’s not dancing. it’s trying to express it in a way that will have no negative feedback to people who are prejudice

[@IDuneaux]

That clown peeking out from behind his bookcase confirms, in my uneducated mind, that he is a complete psychopath. I mean, who would have that in their house? /shudder😨

[@Xerrash]

Trust is about knowing what a person cares about, if a psychopath fundamentally does not care, then they cannot be trusted.

He's not a "psychopath", dude is misdiagnosed. However he could be a sociopath.

[@aguy559]

I have a hard time buying this. OCD is an anxiety disorder and psychopaths have little, if any, anxiety. Most people with anxiety disorders are highly moral. Their conscience eats away at them. That is the OPPOSITE of a psychopath.

[@_kikizaman_]

Actually, I just looked it up but psychopaths are actually very likely to have anxiety and depression. I know, shocked me too and I don’t really understand it unfortunately. I suppose that they don’t feel anxious about what others say or do, aka social anxiety which I have a debilitating case of. But they still can feel anxious when situations are not prefaced to work out in their favour. For example, them being in debt and not knowing if they got the job that they interviewed for. Again, I don’t really know if this is what their anxieties are about, i’m just guessing. But yeah, apparently they’re quite likely to be depressed and anxious.

[@tristan4175]

there are psychopaths that have high levels of anxiety. and then there are those with none at all. mental health isn't just that easy. anxiety has no connection to morality.

[@SuperHappyNotMerry]

@Nature it really doesn't and saying it does could actually be found quite triggering for people who suffer with ocd. Yeah, ocd sufferers worry about hurting people (harm ocd) or scrupulosity which is very morality based, but at the end of it ocd is based more so on uncertainty. I say this as someone who has suffered with "highly moral" forms of ocd. It is possible he suffered from ocpd, who's to say, but really you can't just make generalizations like "people with ocd are very moral people and therefore he couldn't have ocd".

[@SLYKM]

@Nature being guilty of something due to OCD and being guilty of an action are seperate things. Anxiety caused by not partaking in OCD habits is caused by some sort of fear something is amiss or guilt that it isn't done correctly. Anxiety caused by doing a thing with consequences doesn't have to be because of feeling remorse, but because the consequences could be too large. Anxiety is just rambling, rattling doom posting one's mind, can be caused by caring about people, or simply caring about oneself.

[@professionalcommenter]

I think he's using the term OCD to describe his compulsive behavior. But, it doesn't fit in the definition of actual OCD as we know it. His compulsions are just that, it's not related to OCD. It's totally different. Keep in mind that he's unaware of the feelings that we have because he's never personally experienced them. So he may be attributing what he thinks is obsessive behavior but is really just compulsive behavior.

[@captainsnarky6949]

His mannerisms and speech remind me of Neil Degrasse Tyson, who really freaked me out when he was on Joe Rogan.

[@kayhaich]

Just being in a video like this with this title is untrustworthy

I'd like to hear more about the bad things he actually did. This is just an old guy waffling about his thoughts on lie in general.
