We all know someone with psychopathy.

But few know the truth about it. We’re helping change that… by helping you know the signs. Know about treatment options and resources. And know you’re not alone.
James Fallon is a professor of neuroscience at University of California at Irvine, and the author of the book The Psychopath Inside. He considers himself a "prosocial psychopath."
He joins us today on zoom to discuss what it is like to be psychopathic.

In short and in simple language, normal behavior is individual behavior which is in line with majority of behaviors in society. Normality is changing with society standards. If you see yourself like funny outgoing person for example and no one can tell that about you- somethings wrong with you. But today, you can identify yourself like a clown or an alien, right? And everybody needs to except that without questioning. I guess thats our new normal which I don’t except which means I’m probably not normal 😂

  • Interesting. I am not a psychopath but I have autism and adhd and I relate to the part of making it a challenge to be ”better”. In my case it’s more about being open and honest with myself though and not pretend to be a better person than I am, but I feel like making it a challenge sort of motivates me, because I do tend to like challenges, as long as I feel like I have a shot at it and the goal is clear. That’s why I do better giving myself challenges rather than accepting other peoples challenges, the challenges I’m given by others are often not concrete or clear enough to understand, or not things I’m naturally able to do.

    • @@d3l_nev - autism is not an illness. However, while you're correct about empathy, that's not how it looks from the inside...particularly when we're young or at a low ebb, and with people constantly telling us that we lack empathy because we don't perform the social displays that typically go with empathy in the rest of the population. It's mainly because autistic masking _feels_ a lot like psychopathy, I think, and in that state our brains heavily work against us. Even with a full (and savagely comprehensive) diagnosis, the impostor syndrome is strong enough to make me wonder at times.

  • I am not psychopath, but I have Asperger's disorder and I can relate to aspects of this. I believe in studying people individually, it's the way I interact with others safely. I form a word list and way of patterning my speech, to interact with people in certain ways they feel comfortable. I also form critiques of myself and others, and try to positively manipulate everyone towards a good place. It teels good for the environment and good for myself, creating a culture of kindness. Narcissistic? Possibly, but at least I try to use it for good. I also dislike people, but like individuals... and people are just composed of individuals I've yet to get to know. I struggle with relationships and startrc forming real trust and empathy in 8ky late 20s, early 30s. Also, most everyone tends to yo enjoy spinning a yarn and having attention. Even if there's a dark aspect to it, having the insight yo black off if trusted others feel it is becoming unhealthy is very healthy and grounded. As an aside, I can really, really, reslly relate to Dexter Morgan. Just minus the whole stalking and killing, I am a pacifist.

He tries to sell himself as maybe charming, happy go lucky, whatever it is...that he knows is not him. By them buying his lies he owns them in a way because as he says he can 'drive them' wherever he wants them to go.

I am inclined to do this; to get the person or people into “the palm of my hand”, so that they are in some kind of confected thrall of my invention. I have no desire to do these people wrong, and I understand that this is an odious and unproductive trait so I try hard to subvert it into humour, and issues of social equity.... but it’s always there. I learned that manipulating people for one’s own gains is a miserable and unkind thing to do, but I had to learn that, and it took a while. Interesting.

  • after watching many of those videos, of him and another lady, 1st i thought it's a joke, i thought that's just not possible she feels this way, it's 1 of those channels like babylon bee making fun of people, then i realized it's actually REAL, and this made me realize why people behave like total assholes, and i used this word on purpose - behave LIKE - coz they don't feel it, they don't feel empathy, so it's not really an asshole coz an asshole is someone who DOES feel what others feel but STILL hurts them, and i see a LOT of assholes in the comments, wannabe good guys shitting on those psychos who can't really be called guilty since they don't have the ability to feel what others feel and realize what they do is wrong, is like people eating animals who don't feel animals have feeligns just like us and feel pain and fear and suffering... but all of you 'good' people in the comments talking shit about him, YOU are the REAL assholes here, he is not bad, YOU are, coz you supposed to FEEL for others, and that means INCLUDING him, even more so after understanding that he doesn't even realize it coz he just doesn't care, it's like somehting is missing in his CPU or software, just like when a kid may do soemthing and hurt others but not realizing it's bad, so all of you should feel empathy for him and people like him, otehrwise you are MUCH worse than them coz you KNOW and they DON'T! this makes me actaully feel pity for him and people like him, and this also takes away the need to talk to people like him trying to explain their wrongdoings or even get into fights, coz if they just don't have the ability to care - the ABILITY, it's not their CHOICE - then it's a total waste of time, and the only thing that makes sense is that if people hurt you to just stay away from them, but not in anger, coz they can't really do anything about it, it's not their choice which then can be judged, it's just who they are, just as nobody with a logical mind will call a lion bad or VERY BAD coz they almost got killed by them, that doesn't make a lion bad since it's just their instinct they are following, their nature... bad or very bad is someone who KNOWS the difference between right and wrong but STILL does it! this really helped me view my interactions with certain people in a different light, specially since very unfair things have been done to me lately which just made me FURIOUS, and i was how, HOW CAN THEY DO THIS!!!!well, now i know how.... and my anger for them is gone...i can accept it now and move on...still staying away from them coz i don't wanna be hurt again, and they WILL hurt me again since that's just who they are, they literally DON'T GIVE A FUCK, but at least now my anger for the unjust and very bad attacks is gone, realizing they just don't know, they just don't feel for others, this is the way they are, just as a lion might kill and eat you, not coz they are an asshole but only coz that's their nature, they are still beautiful and magnificent animals, but i would be stupid to go too close to them, and it would be MY fault if i get hurt, not theirs...

    • Logic devoid of compassion and empathy is a useless thing for the human organism. Mammals/humans have to be cooperative, - we raise warm-blooded underdeveloped babies/children for a long period of childhood. It's very damaging if we cannot cooperate, without harming each other... If psychopathy were unchecked, people would be able to eat their own young, either physically or psychologically, and humanity would devolve. We are not meant to be completely alone, we are a cooperative species. He isn't simply logical, he is devoid of some essential traits that make him healthy for humanity. His ability to cooperate is diminished, and his ability to contribute to the survival of the group is diminished. He's essentially like a cell of the body that does not care about the health and survival of the other cells. He is disordered, and his logic is misdirected. He just literally admitted that he has to use willpower and self-determination not to psychologically batter people. This isn't fun for him, and he's had an ideal life, which is why he would even consider restraining himself a potentially beneficial thing. Most psychopaths do not even consider this something they might want to do, even if it destroyed all of humanity. It's hard for them to really care. As long as they get theirs. This is not at all logical. It's short-sighted and bad for the human organism. They may not even care about the harm that comes to themselves as long as they get that dopamine.
