What are the signs someone is a sociopath? The clues that can reveal a sociopath or psychopath are often hidden and obscure. They may pretend to be your friend and care about you. But in reality, a sociopath will try to manipulate and control you.

I have been SURROUNDED by these people my WHOLE life and THEY always made me feel like I was the one w/the problem so I NEVER felt NORMAL. In reality, I was the only one normal.
I have been stalked by nasty people who are exactly within this category. Those evils tried dirty tactics, and used defamation and slanders to try to discredit me. They have been trying to ruin my career and isolate me. Luckily I received help from many nice people so I knew how bad those evils are.
Same here! Unfortunately there are many sickos like that in this world.
i hope you have new non sociopath friends now.
Yup!! That’s my life unfortunately!!
Same here.
I've come to the conclusion that my cat is a sociopet

REALLY??? WHO???
Mine is too. He nibbles and bites whenever he is provoked.

Had a sociopath boss. It was the stare that got me researching the topic. Also, if she smiled or laughed, her eyes were always cold and brutal. Super creepy vibe.

Same thing with a former 'friend' Cold shark eyes while flattering me..then destroyed my life with slander. But will never forget those dead eyes 😮
Unfortunately, we as a generation(millennial/gen z) throw around this label way too commonly. I’m guilty of this as well, until I got attached to a sociopath. The real thing is way worse than just hurt feelings. Stay educated and most importantly, TRUST YOUR GUT
Amber Heard actually *IS* a sociopath, though.
I can relate.. They are brutally hell to live with.

I hear ya - INYOUALL! Thanks. Personal Development is one of the best things you can do for yourself - because, we as human beings, we’re supposed to embrace growth! So make sure you find your Purpose in life - whatever it might be, and work on it daily, and continue to make progress, because progress is - really the key to happiness. But don’t do it for any girl or guy, make sure you’re doing it for yourself - and just be happy! Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips
Totally agree!
I thought I was involved with a narcissist, but after seeing this I am involved with a sociopath. I have established no contact. Thank you very much 🙏
You can be both. I believe my ex was both.
There’s a lot of overlap, many people have both traits. I kind of like the term narcopath.
Keep up the no contact! Good job. Your life could literally depend on it. I was married to one, divorced him & then dated one.
@@ninamc6116 I dated two. I was so determined not to choose another but I did! At least I'm smart enough now to leave ASAP when I do see the signs

married to it for 24 years. still recovering 12 years after the marriage ended. it's devastating to everyone around them, but especially their children and their spouses.
I'm going through this right now. I told my mom yesterday that me and my daughter are devastated...

You are a trooper have to respect that. I could only make 4 yrs. before i tossed my ex wife out of the house.

Make peace with your self. Suffering from it too. Atleast you are a surviver.
This sounds like my family. They make you feel guilty and wrong for creating healthy boundaries.
hi wolf, ditto. you sure we arent related? seeking out the fellow 'black sheep' or other scapegoats ;)
This video describes a narcissist. Or my X-wife and now my eldest son. They are very difficult to spot until you live with them. If you are an empath like myself, watch out! The best warning is that they never take responsibility when things go wrong.
Thank you!
They aren't so difficult to spot if you educate yourself. The trick is trusting what you see based off their actions not what they say and accept. It's hard to accept when you hold on to hope for a better outcome. My hope is my biggest weakness with these types. Well I'm doing better about. I hope they think I'm defeated and move on.
The saying goes every sociopath is a narcissist but not every narcissistic is a sociopath.
You just described my most recent ex boyfriend to the letter. Allergic to accountability, believes all his opinions are facts, indifference to the pain and hurt feelings they cause others, exploitative, manipulative, judgmental and cruel. Controlling and entitled as he is impulsive. Rude and selfish as he is unempathetic… impossible to have any healthy connection:(
Thank God you are away from him. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I knew I wouldn't have to search long until I found the "this is my ex's behavior to a T". I'm not saying you weren't a victim of this type of behavior but statements like this are a red flag for me for many reasons. Hope your experience helped you learn to better protect yourself from problematic people.
Turn every conversation by personal attacks on you even when you're trying to help them. They live in a delusional world of their own making and refuse to work as a team. Sad 😔

My stepfather fell on the narcissist/psychopath/sociopath spectrum and he loved being angry as often as he could be - over anything that could give him even the slightest excuse. When we asked him to get some help so as to not be so explosive in the house as it was shredding both mine and my mother’s nerves; she was a sensitive redhead - and had a sixth sense and got anxious and stressed with his constant unwarranted and sudden outbursts. He simply laughed and replied: “But I’m fine, honestly I’m fine.” He didn’t give a toss about the stress he was inflicting on others - quite the opposite as he often seemed to enjoy it.
same . - .
@@BaebiDoll There’s definitely consistent patterns to their behaviour. It’s like they’re operating at some robotic level, as if there’s a programmed set of circuits in the brain (the lower reptilian region) and it seems they think they’re so unique, whilst in fact the opposite is true. As those in that unfortunate condition follow the same impulses, drives and behaviour patterns.....
My late father certainly had a case of IED: Intermittent Explosive Disorder. That’s what what your step-father seems like. Living my father was unpredictable at best. His rage would pop out of nowhere.

Interesting “too good to be true” is what Johnny said about Amber when he first got together with her. And when she was testifying no matter how dramatic she sounded it all sounded empty. I felt nothing and usually I am super empathetic
I felt the opposite poor johnny acting like the victim, of ambers hatred, I think Johnny has darker issues and ruining people's lives, to make him feel superiority.
@@darkjimmy33 Get psychiatric help.
@@TheDarkness1 heroin addicted Johnny, attorneys painted amber to be the sociopath.. now her life is in ruins,.. because why? Because Johnny thought she was referring 2 him to a write up.. as a titanic in and article in a magazine... Come on!! Wake up...
@@darkjimmy33 Her life is in ruins because she's being held accountable for her own actions and yes, I'm highly awake. I know delusional talk when I see it....avoiding facts, character assassination, and using only feelings and Personal bias to manipulate. If 98% of the world can clearly see Amber is the abuser, why can't you? Sticking up for a fellow bully and abuser?
Amber's FUBAR okay but so is Johnny. He chose her he married her he stayed with her. It's never a good idea to bash your ex cuz you chose that person you stayed with that person. You need to ask what's wrong with you so you don't do it again. you can't bash your ex without bashing yourself. Same with Amber she was a dummy for choosing him and staying with him if he was so cruel.
According to that fine book The Sociopath Next Door the best way to tell if someone's a sociopath is they'll try to make you feel sorry 😭 for them. That was priceless for me to learn and you see it all the time. Also at least one in 25 Americans is a sociopath and that book was published a long time ago.
That was a great book. Indeed it said that the thing sociopaths desire most is sympathy. Gain someone’s sympathy and that’s when they are easiest to manipulate.
There is another fine book on this topic: "Without Conscience, The Disturbing World Of The Psychopaths Among Us" by Dr. Robert Hare. The author is the preeminent expert on these characters and in his considered opinion, psychopaths and sociopaths are one and the same. All the characteristics listed in this video are also earmarks of psychopaths in his book.
@@xgwke5867 really??
One in twenty five?? Shoot my “ex” has to be one… I thought she was just a borderline but…
@@Inflec As someone with ASPD I can assure you we are not one in the same. Sociopaths can actually feel some emotions and empathy. Psychopaths however are almost entirely devoid of it and enjoy the process of manipulating people. Sociopaths don't manipulate to cause harm intentionally as psychopaths do. Sociopaths often struggle with life, as have I. It's not easy not being able to connect on a deep emotional level, but it's not impossible. There's been only one girl in my life I actually got attached too, however my anti-social personality makes it difficult for the relationship to last, and eventually I become over bearing as I cannot control the flood of emotion that happened during this time. It was the only time in my life I felt alive. She's gone now though, won't speak to me. I don't really care much for anything else anymore.
AH is a textbook sociopathic narcissist energy vampire. They eat Empaths like Johnny for lunch. So happy for JD finally vindicated. Now able to pursue this passions & live his best life.💗
ikr
I still believe with AH she can even be described as Psycho as well She nearly killed Johnny in Australia This post didn't describe violence She becomes violent when intoxicated That poor little baby This could be very scary
Amber Heard is not the brightest person. But other sociopaths may be highly intelligent and their lies may be way more plausible.
Yes sometimes the hardest lessons we learn are from the monsters we meet sometimes being around these creatures makes us wanna get rid of our own demons so thanks to every narcissist sociopath psychopath for showing what I don't want in my life and what to look for when I look at people it just becomes that more easier to read people when you been there done that I use to be that person to try to always see the good in people type of person but until you have had to deal with these people most your life you don't think that way anymore I'll give people the benefit of the doubt but I honestly won't expect too much out of people I never take anyone for face value ever and I always expect less until you prove me that your worth more
@@four-x-trading5606 Perfectly said!!! I agree with you once we do our own inner work. When we can embrace our own shadows.

Oh my gosh, one of my former bullies were like this. Now I know why she was like that. I have ran into many sickos like this in my life. They always make it seem like we are the ones who are bad when it is actually them. Sickos they are!

@@roisin33 well thank you very much.
What is missing from this well thought out video is after your expiration date, these people will abuse the hell out of you and destroy your life and everything you built up...even if that means that they will destroy their reputation in that process. Their serious mental illness is not based in reality...they are predators looking for a plaything to distract them from their chaotic thoughts. The ending is hellish with these soulless creatures, watch out!
I wonder if it's a common trait for sociopaths to tend to use 'word salad' as a type of verbiage...? I had a friend who was diagnosed with ASPD (anti-social personality disorder) and this video really helped me to understand why she was the way she was. (She very abruptly ended our two year long friendship about a month ago, after a very minor falling out that we had, which resulted in her exploding in extreme anger on me. The next day I texted her to apologize for my oversight - as well also explaining to her that I thought she was out of line for disrespectfully reprimanding me the way she had, especially over what was a very simple misunderstanding. Ever since then, she's made herself unreachable to me, which absolutely crushed me at how easily it was for her to just discard me the way she did.) Another tendency that I noticed about her was the skewed sense of reality that seemed to have... The ways she'd explain certain life events, how she perceived things, the way she justified certain actions and behaviors, etc... Her realities were often incongruous, contradictory, and even straight up confusing at times... But I loved being friends with her so much, that I chose to overlook them, chalking it up to the fact that we all have our 'quirks'... Also - I just want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with those who've had their lives, hearts and mental states shattered by the heartlessness of sociopathy. It takes a tremendous amount of emotional strength and mental fortitude to pick up the pieces that a person with sociopathy / ASPD can cause one to suffer.
Interesting. You mentioned she made herself unreachable. I'm assuming you mean she blocked or ghosted you? But don't you think that indicates anger on her part? And if she had anger she cared. Ive been diagnosed by a psychologist as having antisocial tendencies and usually when I " discard" someone its after an internal assessment of the individual's character/personality. ie. Are they more aggravation than they are worth. If I assess they are then I typically feel indifferent to them and have no need to block because I view them as irrelevant. Now when angered I may plot , study a person etc. But once and if I get revenge then I usually become indifferent afterwards. Your friend to me seems to be more along the lines of narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic with slight paranoia. For her everything is about power dynamics and anything short of chronic praise will cause her to avoid you. You rightly reprimanding her was viewed as a negative judgment something she won't tolerate. And also her becoming belligerent over a minor issue was a ruse. She was looking for any reason to end the friendship. She doesn't behave like a true sociopath because sociopaths are more calculated even if combative. People that " discard" in her manner are too emotionally driven. A person indifferent might still talk to you they just wouldn't care what happened to you good or bad.
Oh, yeah... Because people with aspd, asked to be the way they are, as if the situations they went through, and unfairly, morphed them into the person they are, doesn't matter. Social media, is hilarious lol smh
This one made me chuckle. I do throw the term "Word Salad" around a lot when giving my view on people like AOC. Diagnosed with ASPD 3 years ago at 25. Always been this way. Before this they said I had conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. Now as an adult. ASPD with primary Psychopathic traits. You're probably onto something. But mostly just because we see through other bullshitters. So we call them out. Cheers.
Yes they use word salad. Classic trait of narcissistic personality disorder

I've frequently observed sociopathic tendencies within my immediate family.

Omg!.. you are describing my husband!.. I left him more than 20 years ago. No wonder I felt completely emotionally drained 😢

Dated one for five years...was awful! But I kept making excuses for him. Finally I wised up and walked away, but it's really funny that even 3 years after he would greet me in the street like we were best mates! Like nothing terrible had happened, and never once acknowledged that it was his fault or apologised for his appalling behaviour...I just ignore him now x
You need to block him on everything mine still tried to contact after 11 years out of blue be careful. Even on whatsapp and any friends you mutually have i had to block them all he would use any person he could to get to me for sympathy or to order from my business as a way to sneak back into contact , you live close beware if he is being nice do not beleive it
Regaining your power after a toxic relationship is the biggest part of healing, especially since we’ve gotten so used to being controlled. Be kind to yourself and take it day by day, so you can begin to feel more powerful and confident in yourself again. 💙KZheadr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
Mending a Broken Heart from a Toxic Relationship One can only heal their own With patience and time Plenty of self love and worth True love is blind With rose tinted glasses removed Take a step back May not have been love at all Could have been a trap Was your partner capable of love? Was it able to be shown? Did they protect your heart? Or take for their own? Reflect on the answers of truth Some are incapable of love Demons disguised as angels Sent from above Tap into your inner strength Hear the voice from within Put up with things you shouldn't have? When did it all begin? Angel transforms to devil The mask falls away When they know you are fully hooked They slowly bleed their prey Pulling back love and affection Constant need for validation Heightened levels of Frustration All loss of adoration Childish behavior and aggression Constant aggravation Stubborn with negotiation Rise in altercations The person you met is gone Just an empty facade They aren't coming back Nothing but a fraud You were sold on false intentions Bought into their disguise What you thought was genuine Was just a pack of lies Demons prey on genuine souls The best of the best Realize it was not your fault Lay them down to rest Take it as a lesson Take your time to heal Next time you fall in love You know it is for real
It's hard. Especially when the person in question sounded so sincere, that in spite of inwardly knowing better, I chose to let bygones be bygones & try to trust again. Result: dropped like a hot potato 4 someone else "he might start dating." This less than a week after he was acting like he wanted to be with me.
Too complicated . A real sociopath is networking to secure and advance themselves on the Status ladder (psychologically and literally) and are on the lookout for flaws or information by another person that can be used to degrade that person usually using humorous ridicule behind that persons back if an when needed. Yes of course they will lie but only when they know it can't be proved and change sides when really necessary. They are a lot more cunning and instinctive than this video portrays.
Exactly. People are nowadays all psychologists, pop psychology as they say; any normal human mistake or any jerk nature doesn't necessarily mean they are psycho, socio or narc. In fact, sometimes chances are that these energy vampires try to tag their own avatars on others, especially if the target is not confident enough. But one of the main matters is that they have a tremendous manipulative pattern, that gets revealed slowly over time.
I agree. People that get fired are usually targeted by sociopaths who give people personality disorders
There are truly stupid ones as well,who will dig the hole deeper no matter what. They probably have other issues as well so not necessarily a pure, normally functioning sociopath.
As someone who has been diagnosed with Antisocial personality disorder,I can 100% agree to some degree
That's a psychopath smart commenter dude. I wish we were that smart
Forget secret sociopaths. These days they’re not hiding. They’re picking and playing on teams-working together/ strategizing to achieve their aims
Alex Jones, Fox, Trump?
The amount of psychological damage these people can do is unreal. People only ever talk about narcissists and the damage they do, but sociopaths (when completely unchecked and untreated) are at least twice as bad. People also conveniently forget that all sociopaths are narcissists, but not all narcissists are sociopaths.
Misogynistic abuse is a symptom of sociopathic behaviour.
Great tips! This is why you have to be very careful who you get involved with - because they could possibly ruin your life, and the career that you’ve worked so hard for. And this is also why you have to pay really close attention early on in the relationship, to see if you can spot any red flags before it’s too late. I’m sure John Depp wish he had - now! Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips

For real- the one I knew would manipulate everyone and somehow find loopholes in everything. They told my apartment I wasn’t living there because they’re now my “caretaker”, lost my job that although not the best was still enjoyable and had friends, wiped out my savings too- total nightmare. They even manipulated their own family members so as to get money…

But the question is how do you know for sure? The signs here “may be” signs of a sociopath. But if you notice these behaviors and jump to the conclusion you’re dealing with a sociopath, you “may be” unnecessarily creating an enemy where none previously existed. Knowing when to give the benefit of the doubt is a necessary life skill, and pop psychology is a perfect example of the old adage, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
Question them about the concern, a sociopath will respond by staring right through you and changing the subject.
You are surely a sociopath.

You should study former U.S. Senator, presidential nominee and Secretary of State John Kerry. He got the act goofy thing down and it helped him get along with (though also deceive) all the little normies. I would call Kerry more of a narcissist than a sociopath though. But the routine ends up being about the same. Then again, he was in politics, where touchy-feely flies. Especially if you are positioned as a liberal Democrat, where you have to pretend that you care about the downtrodden. I am sure it is different in business, although a little fake empathy is in order there too.

7 years in relationship with a sociopath… insane experience
I literally just cut off a friend because he was acting like a sociopath. Everyone was the problem and not him. Manipulating his roommates into given him money or sex. Impulsive buying. Inappropriate behavior. I wish I could tell his roommates to leave while they can before he takes every thing from them, but they won't listen. He's good at manipulating emotions. He almost got me. My gut was telling me to leave so I did. I'm glad I did.
They know damn well what they do is wrong! You can almost hear their evil laugh as theyre looking at you with their sociopath grin as to say "prove it". Its scary to me just how many sociopaths there seems to be. Like the ones who run the world for example...
Or an easy way to tell is by questioning one if they are, they will stare straight through you and change the subject.
I think it's important to find things to appreciate about others and tell them. I can see how it could come off as "flattery" but I'm not going to stop doing it just because people mistake sincere appreciation for ass kissing.
Cool! Thank you 💗✨
I was married to a female sociopath. Now I know what it was. It wasn't all bad but she had 10 of the 12 traits. She's been gone (divorced now) for 20 years and now I understand.
Realizing I lived with one. She literally exhibited all of these traits. No job, no friends, always angry and starting drama, never apologized even when proven wrong by everyone in the room. It was scary actually
How long did it take you to notice her actual behaviour?
@@sushreeswain1554 pretty quickly actually. She became hostile almost immediately. She even went so far as to reach out to my ex girlfriend to tell her I was seeing someone out of jealousy since she was attracted to me and i found her repulsive. All while me and her were living with her fiancé. She refused to work, even when I was working at a temp agency and could give her whatever job she wanted. She sat around all day smoking weed and watching teen dramas(she's almost 30) then tried to make her life as drama filled as the shows since she was bored 24/7. I was afraid she was going to harm or kill my dogs.

As someone who was diagnosed with ASPD I can 100% confirm these r all real sociopathic signs but coming from my perspective we don't all mean harm and mean evil it's how our brains r wired I wanna get attached to my friends but it feels impossible to form a real bond hell it even feels impossible to form a bong wit family members I wanna keep a job and make a good career for myself but it bores me very easily I wanna feel and relate to ppl but sometimes I truly just can't bring myself to actually care about what they're saying trust me I fucking wish I didn't have to live wit this shit I'm not dogging the creator on how he made it out like were bad guys bc even if we don't believe it we kinda can be but some ppl wanna be normal but they just aren't and most the time it stems from deep rooted trauma great vid nonetheless tho I enjoyed it it's very accurate to atleast my symptoms and how I am as a person without the sinister undertone
I would assume you had a relatively stable upbringing then. The problem is, that there is a lot we don't know about the development/causes of antisocial personality disorder. Not all with ASPD will become serial killers. There is some experience and research that indicates a lack of physical touch early on in life, 0-1.5 years of age I believe the range is, can severely alter the nervous system, with a lack of vasopressin release to tune the nervous system, plus the stress of not having needs met, can leave it being muted. Babies who experience this no longer react instinctively to pain. Therefore you get the "lack of care," present in ASPD. But there are also potential genetic factors that could contribute to it as well. It's a complicated thing.

Heyyo, can you tell me how is the diagnosis done??? Like how are the tests conducted etc to diagnose someone of Aspd?
@@sushreeswain1554 Don’t know off the top of my head but search “dsm 5 criteria for aspd,” and you should get the criteria for it. Tests are usually questions to evaluate one’s disposition on a variety of things.
@@Theendman42 a sociopath or psychopath may give wrong answers on the test knowingly to be diagnosed as normal?? I had that doubt
@@Theendman42 Not all? Try most won't. Most sociopaths are not criminals. Also, most serial killers and killers in general are psychopaths. There's a big difference. Psychopaths just simply cannot connect with people at all, and get thrills from manipulating others, sometimes even harming people. Not saying there isn't sociopath killers, but most sociopaths simply are not. ASPD can be exasperated from trauma as well. If you were already pre-disposed for it and go through very extreme trauma, your anti social behavior sky rockets. I was raped by my brother growing up, was bullied throughout my entire childhood, got addicted to meth/heroin, but it was when I accidentally killed someone driving high that sent me over the edge. There have only been a few people in my life I actually have connected with and became attached too, but it's a very selfish form of it. I am not mean or cruel, in fact I am down right too nice because I am desperate to keep them with me. Eventually things deteriorate because I become an emotional burden because I can't control my emotional states in relationships. Again, never am mean or violent, I despise violence actually. Most notably I don't really care about most people in my life. Most of my family I can't stand... Most of my friends I can't stand either. It's lonely...
Truest words ever spoken. Excellent video.
Secret sociopaths are often covert narcissists cloaked as vulnerable
a covert narcissist is the same thing as a vulnerable narcissist.
Most people have something wrong with them,me too but I try to work on it
Everything is accurate. But, pscycopaths and narcissists have the same traits. It could be confusing to tell the difference. In my opinion, this video needs a little more to differ for the two mentioned above. For instance, sociopaths are more explosive than pscychopaths. And unlike narcissists they wont mess with you if you dont mess with them. You dont even exist to sociopaths and pscycopaths if you dont have any of interest for them. Unlike a narcissist, if they see you as a threat, they will try to eliminate you. I know this from personal experience. I have four narcissists in my famiy.
WOW incredibly enlightening
Lived with a sociopath for eighteen years. Didn’t know it for a long time; though I was getting red flags. I know all this about them now. Thank you for informing those who don’t know these traits about a sociopath.
Im not a psychologist or shrink... I've just been looking into human behaviours since leaving my ex 2•5yrs ago - he ticks every single box for being a sociopath & covert narcissist
Sociopaths and narcissists have a lot in common.
I think that’s why my mother and one of my sisters bond so well.
I was thinking the exact same thing, except narcs experience guilt and shame, so they do any and everything to avoid those feelings. But, they do it in a toxic, unhealthy and backwards way.
@@theosaka69 That's very very true. Sociopaths lack a conscious whereas narcissists have over inflated egos and extremely low ability tolerate shame of any kind. I did do some research about sociopaths a few years ago and learned that sociopaths and their behavior are rooted in genetics. Narcissism is different on the other hand as narcissism is the direct of result poor parenting.
@@happycat0411wrong. Psychopaths are rooted in genes, because as the name claims, it's a *psycho*path. Sociopaths can have a predisposition, but are generally created due to trauma, so not genetically bound. There are three types of sociopaths. Those hotheads like from the movies that go around a cause chaos, sociopaths who simply enjoy chaos, though as an observational hobby whilst not being involved unless required, and who use the disorder as sort of a superpower, where they make good connections, and even can make friends. To elaborate, sociopaths can understand emotions very well and can feel them, though extremely shallowly, because they had emotions but something cut them off. There is also a high chance that a sociopath is unable to communicate their own emotions. Same goes for empathy, though if they feel it it's usually rationalised and not, well, "emotional". These are self aware, high-functioning sociopaths. And yeah, there's the third kind, those that are ashamed, as per say, of themselves, hence they turn to therapy because they want to escape it. Then again, there are obviously those with a predisposition, who've learned emotions to fit in. A friend of mine is a sociopath, a predispositioned one, I believe, who studies psychology and is very good at it, a natural. He claims that there's chance that I'm a high-functioning one, in a way partially confirming my self diagnosis.
It's a fine line at times. Sociopaths seem to have more problems outside the home, such as work or social settings.
I have been diagnosed with ASPD. All these symptoms/ the way we perceive/empathise with others depends on where on the spectrum you lie. One 'sociopath/psychopath' is not like the other. I am sorry if you have encountered someone that fits this label that has failed to work on themselves. I can assure you that not all of us are the same
There is a difference between an Unhinged Sociopath and someone who was diagnosed/properly treated. That is why we are all here. To discuss.
Sonja we are the same. Lol just embrace it. We don't give a fk cause people are garbage
@@Tailionis Right, but no. You don't embrace Sociopathy. Sociopaths lack Empathy. Being treated however, helps restore some Empathy and conscious for others, along with your own sanity. Most untreated Sociopaths leave dookie stains on every couch or bed they sit on. They will use the most dumbfounded logic on why they don't ever shower or brush their teeth, or why they end up fired before any years' ending. They burden others constantly. They cannot excuse it as being they hate 9-5. It is because Sociopaths/Psychopaths hate any form of responsibility. Even if that means starting up a business or keeping a job for more than 8 Months. Them and Psychopaths are incapable of starting a business or job. Most STILL live with their parent(s) at age 26, 35, over 40. Instead, they are passed on CEO/President roles from their parents in this Country. The untreated are vile rejects who are rotten and deserve to be locked away. They want nothing more but pain onto others. Your Empathy will get yourself hurt by them, or even worse. The only difference between a group of Sociopaths/group of Psychopaths is based on the person who is medically treated, versus one who isn't.
@@Tailionis You sound on the same extreme end of the ASPD spectrum as Ghislaine Maxwell, who dismissed all her naive young girl victim traffickees as "trash." No, values are relative as well as absolute.
I love how you try to sugar-coat it. People are avoid and are afraid of sociopaths for a reason. Most sociopaths go un-diagnosed because its a blow to their ego, see you couldn’t hide it well. Bless you sister
If a sociopath is given authority, he can become the devil.
I was thinking of “Heard” fitting the profile for NPD.
And HPD
She's the poster child of hitting all 4 cluster B personality disorders.
I think depp is covert NPD and heard is BPD -- classical combo
Watch for complimenting everyone and anyone! Anyone! On the flip side/at the same time, watch as they do stuff for you but treat their family and friends they have known FOR YEARS like garbage. They always treat new people like gold and dismiss their family.
If someone has bad contact with their family, it's because the family was toxic?
It’s unfortunate when that person happens to be a family member. I feel pulled in different directions during inflated family drama. My instinct is to be honest about my perspective, but that tends to escalate it. If I simply affirm everything, I keep the peace, but I’m sacrificing true nature to seek truth. I don’t agree with the model of “cutting out all toxic people.” It sounds like the easier choice, but not the right one.
What this video described is someone with narcissistic personality disorder not a socialpath unless they have both disorders and that will make them a malignant narcissist.
Strongly agree with you! I'm stalked by nasty people who are exactly maglignant narcissists.
I knew one. the term 'narcissistic (because they are deeply egocentric) sociopath' is preferred because nothing is ever their fault, there is alot of drama around them and hurt those they are supposed to love, and often will do that for sport.
I think one of my sisters is a malignant narcissist.
Aspd here, this video is very accurate on the symptoms and behavior associated with sociopathy(aspd) just don’t forget we are still people with struggles and problems
I'm not a sociopath but I know people can't help it, I agree with you , you're a human being and you don't deserve to be hated by the world
I looooove how they used a picture of Amber Heard. That is just priceless! 😂😂😂💀💀💀
viiews.
I'm slowly and secretly trying to get away from one right now
Me too help
Good luck. If you can, go no contact
Oh man I might be one of these. Is this a bad thing? I try to use my power for good 😄 ❤️ always sharing and doing what I can to help anyone. 🤔
That makes you a pragmatic empath.
From this comment I can tell you, you are definitely not a sociopath
I love how the thumbnail shows amber turd as the poster girl for sociopaths hehehe 😉
Loved that thumbnail xD
......thank you for this video.
I was married to one and did he tick ALL of these boxes... I twigged him a few weeks into our marriage but too late for this little fly trapped in his alluring spiders web, but that was just the tip of the iceberg on what was to become for me and my family's a nightmare's journey into hell... One word of advice, never, ever confront a sociopath about something - they turn into exceptionally nasty and dangerous people as I was to unfortunately find out. After I kicked him out and got my divorce going, he went on to his next "girlfriend" sorry, I should say victim and repeated the same trick over again exactly the same modus operandi and then after that with the next girl...
I agree with most of what you’re saying. Ever since I’ve educated myself about the narcissist I’ve understood why I was the escape goat when I was a child. I have experienced the work place bullies and do my best to avoid those individuals unless I have to work closely. Is it possible that I should consider myself a sociopath? I stay to myself mostly these days and don’t mind doing activities that I enjoy alone and with my dog.
You’re fine. I had to do the same thing.
I once asked my father a similair thing. I told him “What if I am a sociopath without knowing, and that I think that my reality is the normative experience, but I have actually just been using everyone around me for my own sake without understanding it? What if I am unintentionally hurting others?!” He literally bellylaughed and asked me what made me think so, had I recognized myself on the symptoms? I told him, “yes, but only a few that I ‘till now had assumed was just a normal part of the human experience” (Like giving compliments all the time because you want to make people feel seen and welcome in their own lives, and having a hard time creating routines = learning from mistakes. I have later on been diagnosed with adhd, which explains that latter symptom.) My father said: “Well, everyone has good and bad sides to them. Some of these symptoms can be present in a person for completely other reasons. Having most of these symptoms however, paints a pattern that can be describes as Sociopathyic tendencies. But one things a sociopath would never be able do is what you are doing now. You are so sincerely worried for potentially having hurt someone that it makes you emotionally stressed, meaning you deeply care of how other people feel not just about how you are percieved by them, A sociopath actually wouldn’t care very much about how they potentially have hurt someone, and they would thus probably never feel compelled to ask themselves these hard questions. Many sociopath have something in common with narcissists too, where they are completely uninterested in and unwilling to entertain a narrative where THEY could be “the bad guy” or someone who has a negative effect on others. Maintaining their own egos intact is so important to them that even the thought of them being the problem is absolutely unthinkable to them. They have a warped sense of reality, and would rather demonize everyone else in their lives than see that they are the common thread to the patterns in their own lives. So the fact that you are 1, willing to ask these questions about yourselves, and 2, able to care of how you affect others, means that you probably don’t have anything like this. Also, I have been your father all your life and I have never seen anything that has given me cause to worry about this at all. Rather the opposite. You would rather let someone think what they want of you than go argue and force them to see you in a perfect light. You shy away from conflicts and you care about your friends enough to have kept most of them since childhood. You know how to give and take, not just take. You can receive criticism without feeling attacked. You can address your own shortcomings instead of trying to cover them up, and you take responsibility when something goes wrong instead of pointing fingers only at everyone else.” I hope this summary of my conversation with my dad can be helpful to you too. I realized he was right: even if I have a few of the symptoms there, the main concerns of “being willing to use others to satisfy my own needs” or “not caring if I hurt someone if I get what I wanted” or “gaining/maintaining relationships in order to rise in the social” doesn’t fit me at all. It’s like when we have a physical symptom, say stomach pain, and we Google it and end up suspecting that we have cancer. The only symptom that matches is stomach pain, and there can be a hundred different reasons.
They hurt themselves in the long run by burning bridges . Karma is always at their doorstep too.
So far this is the best explanation of what is a Sociopath. Now I'm aware that I'm dealing with one at home.
Well, I've certainly been guilty of much of this behavior. Being aware helps and don't act that way anymore. I do feel guilt and shame, have and still know others who don't really. It's unsettling.
Sociopaths are not often unemployed and borrowing money. This is one trait of a sociopathic personality but many are highly employed and independent. That is a fact. Read the sociopath next door.
As I was listening to this list I was struck by how much I sound like a sociopath. I feel like a high-functioning Asperger's', so some elements of my perception might be skewered. I few things of note, I definitely feel remorse, I am very aware of my mistakes (and seek to change the mistakes without changing others), and I feel the anger of others. I am also not an ass-kiss, so I am not sure where this places me.
Dear James Guitar. I've experienced the same personality traits with my own father. So I can see exactly where you're coming from.
Im an empath and these folks so often see me as an easy mark because of the emotional nature of empaths . But, being who I am, I see them as though they have a yellow caution light on their heads. So I listen and smile and nod my head, and the instant they walk away, I wipe them and our conversation away like a milk mustache. They think they've " touched my heart " when in reality they have had no effect on me, my life or my decisions. It's taken me 65 years to get here. ALOT of pain in my youth. Not really their fault. We are who we are. No grudges. I've just learned to take things and humans as they come. It's up to me to protect myself. I just prefer to do it with a smile. Have an incredible day. EVERYDAY!!!
"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." ---Winston Churchill
My ex girlfriend is a malignant narsassistic sociopath with a large dash of psycho on top.
I have just been with a sociopath for five years who dropped me so quickly … he told me he was a a high functioning sociopath recently which has ended our relationship… I’ve tried discussing it with him but he won’t respond… he made me feel it was me that was the issue in our relationship… I was weak and didn’t think I was worth any better…. I don’t understand how he can get away with treating people like this … it’s broken my heart because I loved him but this was the last straw… it made everything make sense and he fits it even though he is self diagnosed. Really sad for those dealing with the trauma and he stress it has caused .
Picture on the thumbnail is just perfect!
A true sociopath knows how to personality mirror and manipulate elusively. But they will make people believe that they are a "different kind of crazy." Because people like people who remind them of themselves.

Im too much of a narcissist to care if im a sociopath...
Funny!
Lol
I love this channel. I would look at the animation that shows the make figure as the sociopath and the people in the healthy relationship as women. Please examine if this is a conscious or unconscious bias.
I would like to see a video which discusses the differences between sociopaths and narcissists. Saw many similarities in this video.
Hey that's me! Except I don't manipulate and when I screw up I admit it. I feel bad if I hurt someone and have no hidden motives. I guess just the first one I tend to have more knowledge then the average person also why do I have to worry about everyone's feeling.
I usually refer to a sociopath as a narcissist, but really should be using both terms.
This just describes my mum 😔
Yes!!!! I lo e you more with this
