What is Your Question About Psychopaths or Behavior? Here's The Answer!

[@kateg7298]

Wow, Scott. If you can get a wild squirrel to trust you enough to touch them, then you're such a warm person! Animals pick up on kindness and affection. They feel the vibe of people. I cracked up when you said "you be careful, darlin'". That was so sweet. It sounded like any mom sending their kid off to school. That's priceless.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@kateg7298 He is such a sweet man!! As I've heard Americans say "a Southern gentleman" Scott is my favourite!😄 Animals have a great sense for good people ❤

I love your videos Scott. ❤ They're so educational. ❤ The issues you talk about help us stay safe. Lots of appreciation. ❤

Just bought Dr. Hare's book. Thanks for this recommendation!!

[@davidmicu3359]

Seeing you say “oh hey Linda” and finding out it was a squirrel was hilarious 😂 you’re awesome Scott!

[@reneethompson1849]

Love Miss Linda! The way she trusts you says a lot about the goodness in you. How long did it take for her to let you pet her?

[@questprotector]

is there any such thing as a serial killer, male or female, that isn't a psychopath or a sociopath? what about people that kill premeditatively or in the heat of the moment?

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@questprotector Great question!! I'd send that one in!😄

[@Lizwidi]

Linda is the cutest! I bet Hattie gets excited for the visits. 🤭 So adorable!

[@emshizzelbaby]

Only 2:18 in, but I simply adore the ppl who send videos. They all seem so sweet!

[@ScottRouse]

I love the videos.

[@Icridium]

If someone is born with a normal functioning brain with normal human emotions decides they are going to become cruel towards people, but actually has to push themselves to commit murder, torture or the like, what could that be considered? Almost seems like the exact opposite of a psychopath. They don’t have to suppress the violent emotions, rather they have to actively have the heinous thoughts.

[@ScottRouse]

Dang, I’ll answer that one in an episode. 🙂👍

[@Icridium]

Appreciate it. Wasn’t sure how the phrasing would come across. Hopefully it’s clear enough for a video response. I’m sure you get it, but from my end I had trouble organizing the whole thing.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

​@@Icridium Excellent question!!!

[@TheMAmeph]

Do you mean a soldier or smth like that?

[@samanthas2280]

Sounds related to the Nuremberg effect.

[@DianneRussell-jb5le]

I have extreme narcissists in my family. My stepsister is unbearable to be around, she is so bad that she makes me feel physically sick. I cut complete contact with her. My daughter treats me with disrespect and I still see her I just don’t go anywhere with her. She has dinner at my apartment with me sometimes but we have very little contact if any. I am one of these people that don’t give nasty people a second chance. You are so lovely with Linda.🐿️

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@DianneRussell-jb5le Sometimes we have to cut ties with family to protect ourselves. I've had to do the same... It's knowing what's best for you so quite right! ❤ sorry it came to that though. 💜

[@slc1161]

I cut ties with my family for protection of my own mental and emotional health. They were all addicts. My only sadness is they never stopped being addicts and we could not heal as family.

[@onejonfromearth]

Come for the body language, stay for the squirrel petting.

[@RhiannonBell252]

Awe how sweet. Linda looks quite comfy ❤

[@lisasmith7066]

You grabbing you doggie to prevent a scuffle with the squirrel was so cute! I have a small Chihuahua and a tuxedo cat. We occasionally have little fence lizards get inside in the summer. I immediately grab the cat! The dog could care less but the kitty is a first rate predator! 👀😼🙈😊

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@rynneivarsson751 Oh dear!! In Scotland we have foxes and the odd badger LOL. I love lizards, had two rescued gheckos now we have a horsefield tortoise.

[@rynneivarsson751]

@@NicolaMaxwell Foxes are beautiful little guys, can be pests I know but I can't help but root for them. Here I have desert foxes, they're silver/grey and taller than a European fox. No badgers, though. I saw something funny on badgers. There was a picture of an American badger, all ratty grey brown and angry looking, next to a European badger, all cute and black and white. The caption was, "The American badger looks like it's going to shake you down for meth money, the British badger looks like it's going to invite you for tea". LOL

[@NicolaMaxwell]

I have ADHD and it's so weird I look at people mouths when they speak so I learned how to lip read really young.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

Scott's book is amazing guys!🙏🏼 My teenage son read it, now reading Joe Navarros "what every body says" he is fascinated. 💛 I'd start with Scott's though and I love Joe Navarro.

[@ScottRouse]

🙂👍

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@ScottRouse Just my opinion I've read them both, read Joe's first before yours was released but definitely think yours is better to start with especially for teenagers - SO important they learn young. Can't stress that enough. God bless 🙏🏼

[@Janewomanpower]

during this video , i bought the audio book of Navarro's, What Everybody is Saying.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@Janewomanpower That's excellent!! It is a great book, you will learn so much. Joe's story is so interesting too on how he became involved in reading human behaviour 😄❤

[@rynneivarsson751]

That is excellent that you promote that type of learning with your teen son. This type of stuff will serve him well no matter what he does, even in personal relationships, for the rest of his life.

[@RobertaTourville]

Caught the replay! Thanks Scott, these are really interesting and I have learned quite a bit from watching your channel! You touch my heart, by the way, you are so kind! Linda even feels comfortable coming inside for a visit! So adorable!!

[@shirley2447]

Scott watched you on NN about these UFOs. I saw one of these 5 years ago...I looked into the sky and thought a star was falling, coming directly at me. In a nano second it was over my head only 30 feet above me, very large, no noise whatsoever if just seemed to float, and it just floated off to the south of me. Interesting time to be a witness. I am glad these sightings are bringing this to everyone's attention, finally.

[@ScottRouse]

It’s pretty crazy.

[@emshizzelbaby]

9:15 -Educating us in a way we can easily comprehend is one of my fav qualities of yours! I love learning but have problems retaining information.. any tips?

[@Chris97302]

Is there a specific medical diagnostic test (like MRI or EEG, etc.) that can show that the amygdala isn’t working properly in order to diagnose a psychopath?

[@emmkaa2099]

I❤🐿️! Linda looks like she's very comfortable in your house. Thank you for being kind to her. Hugs from northwest Indiana, MK 🤗❤️🤗

[@rynneivarsson751]

On the Narcissist Eye Dodge question @19:00, agree totally. The eyes are the least of what's going on there. The questioner is 100% spot on though, they are scanning for keywords, always. They are listening with an ear of "how does this benefit me?" They really don't care to hear the story, they want to know the bottom line of whether or not they themselves are impacted in any way.

[@My2_cents]

Its not all that late in Texas, im in!

[@ScottRouse]

Yay!

[@piedbald47]

In a conversation, my little old auntie would close her eyes while talking to you, then she would open her eyes, still talking, when she looked away! Then look back at you, eyes closed! She really was a looney-tunes, I might add.

[@slc1161]

She may not be looney. Possibly she’s autistic and eye contact makes her very uncomfortable and how she deals with it.

[@MillaM80]

Again,such a great video!The question about psychopaths staying calm under pressure,it would be interesting to know what percentage of surgeons and pilots are psychopaths 🤗

[@marikotrue3488]

I adore irony and random occurrences, so a behavior expert talking about psychopaths then seeing a squirrel made my evening. Probably wise that "proof of life" was given. Linda looks like a very amiable squirrel, but is she potty-trained?

[@ChristineSowards-w6p]

So much talk of psychopaths! You often talk about the direct eye contact being the biggest tell. As a child my folks and kin would always tell me to look them in the eyes when they were grilling me on something. Later i was taught that NOT looking someone in the eyes was a sign if dissociation and deception. Looking at someone is also a sign of genuine interest and caring. I think as a young adult i made a point of looking folks in the eyes until i learned that it makes some uncomfortable. Then i purposely started breaking contact, and 30+ years later it has never been an issue. Comment?

[@ScottRouse]

I’ve never ever ever said direct eye contact is the biggest tell or Q in making decisions about someone being a psychopath or not. Good enough?

[@ChristineSowards-w6p]

I am so very very sorry that i have misinterpeted all of the 12+ TBP shows about psychopaths that i have watched. Yes, I do know about CLUSTERS of behavior. It is also inferred that psychos are staring at the eyes and face in irder to imitate genuine emotions that they dont know. So sorry to have misunderstood you. I will not question again. Good enough? @@ScottRouse

[@NautilusofStars]

12:12 from experience, I disagree. As someone w clinical high functioning depression and anxiety ; when I'm focused on storing medication in the appropriate designated space; honestly you could work folding laundry, it's irrelevant. Back on topic... and a workmate comes up behind me and squeezes me to *initiate* some laughs usually ends in them feeling some unwarranted type of guilt for getting reminded by the pharmacist butting in with "of course her body is going to react like that and shut down her entire frontal cortex for a good hour if you do that to her" and no. I don't wear a victim tshirt nor romantize the diagnosis which seems to be a trend now a days.. usually occurs because I am so playful and joyful. People forget sometimes. I think you forgot that end of the spectrum when answering but hey, I'm just one person speaking objectively on a subjective matter.

[@MatteoBarrera4830]

i took a test once that said I was 51% psychopath, from watching the first 5 mins I think I'm a psychopath rather than a sociopath thank god
