Is there a database of sociopaths? what happens when government officials along with Shyla Putrevu fall into this category? It doesn't look like I will get an actual job any time soon.
Would "Failure to conform to social norms in ways that are grounds for arrest" include homosexuals living in Iran?
Why does APA a priori assume social norms are correct? Why don't social norms have to prove themselves rationally? And which people are most influential to social norms and who died and made them king?
In a minute someone will accuse me of not believing in social norms. I believe in social norms I just think society has a duty to make the right ones and is determinable by reason.
This video is right on. I finally had the displeasure of getting to know one and it was horrible how manipulative he tried to be using all the charm he could muster - a quack doctor. Luckily I saw through it. His poor wife is all I could think about - she has no idea this 30 year old quack tries to show off his package to his grandma type patients - just looking for hand outs... Unfortunately sociopaths don't get reported because no one wants to go through legal trauma - we just step away.
This list is somewhat misleading. In reality, someone could have many of those (like break a law, etc.) but not have the UNDERLYING MOTIVATIONAL FORCE that is the key to the narcissist, sociopath, etc, a real incapacity for empathy, a skin-deep sense of other people, not much depth to their understanding that others are as full-bodied and real as them...the key is just listening to people---and listening to how they take in others, how much depth they can see in someone else
I fell in love with a psychopath, I'm psychotic (I have schizophrenia symptoms) Is there a reason we were in love, I don't know. I was the only person he ever cared about even the littlest bit. But that wasn't enough... Even now I'm an out lesbian but I love this kid, but we're bad for each other
WHY the fuck does the background keep moving? Why would you even add a moving background to a video that one would have to read and concentrate on but noo they can't because the background is FUCKING moving.
this isn't very scientific, as it is mixed with so many seemingly anecdotal ,emotionally charged sentences, and also it has really crappy mainstream roCk for a oundtrack
@tomcornhole Yeah, a true sociopath doesnt' have the level of functionality as described in this piece. There is such a thing as just plain not caring about a situation. According to this video every soldier who fought in a war, or every lawyer or judge who was part of a case, or every doctor who had to pull the plug on a patient, is a sociopath.
That's simply untrue, and I think the person who posted this owe the rest of an apology.
@Capt777harris i'm not sure about sociopaths not having the functionality....this video is just so simplistic, and seems like a study guide for Psychology 101. i think a lot of the Psychiatric industry is an enslaving mentality, profiteering from victimhood...trying to control the essentially uncontrollable human spirit. and vidoes like these just advance the "official" lies of the would -be Despots over our minds
@tomcornhole I think it's the degree of reaction that's the concern of psychiatrist.... or so I've been told and read about. That is you can lose your cool at a baseball game, even get into a fight with the drunk next to you, but then when you carry that home, and to the next day at work, and so on, you hold onto it, then there might be a problem.
It could be you knew the guy, and knew him to be a jerk, then a grudge is understanblde. But to get outraged at it all the time, might be odd.
@Capt777harris i think it's pretty insane to get angry about things like Baseball, or to be offended when someone criticizes your pop culture preferences.
I have known one. He told me in other words how he would manipulate people. I didn't know just how much he did until he broke up with me for someone else and was able to evaluate all that he had done to me.
What is this typical THUS SAYETH THE LORD crap? The prophets have spoken. LMAO You people are pathetic. You swallow every drivel BS that your society feeds to you. well, how, does shit taste? It must be delicious because all you things do is eat it up with delight, ignorant delight. Try arriving at the truth of the matter using your own pea brains...that s if you can muster such a feat, instead of believing every LIE your society tells you. the red pill or the blue one...the choice is yours.
unfortunately the anti socialist,don't have no remorse,,or feelings, so sad i was with one,nice one minute,hurting me next.sorry my descriptions are of a sociopath.
look i am gong to use the anonymity of the internet to explain how i feel as a sociopath. We dont connect with regular people because we lack emotion so that is the cause of anti social behavior and lack of guilt,remorse ex... Because i dont feel emotion as much as a regular person allows me to reach excellence in life and manipulate people easier. Just because i dont care emotionally doesn't mean i dont want others to have emotional happiness nor does it mean i dont care about the good of socty
@accidentalhomicide yeah it's true just because socialpathc can't feel as much as someone they souldn't feel it a right to cause pain. And just because you don't feel the love doesn't mean it's not there.
But the social norm isn't what we actually feel. It's how we think we're supposed to feel. You don't hurt others because you don't want to go to jail or be judged negatively. Just because people have a different way of thinking or unique DNA doesn't make them insane or murderers. Lacking remorse just means not conforming to what everyone else seems to.
Oh wow so many of these posts are so ignorant. I honestly only looked up sociopathology on Youtube because I just started watching Dexter, but to see your responses...What do you think defines a human being? Honestly, guys, what is it that keeps you giving to charity or from hurting another person physically when they piss you off? If you think it's because that's what's "humane," you're wrong. As a society we have been taught to conform to certain rules because that is the social norm.
I question if sociopathy is even an actual problem. The description is too general, at some given moment in all of our lives, I believe some of the signs are present in everyone. Also not everyone is as open with their emotions. Every emotion, even empathy has its roots in selfishness. "I feel bad because I can relate" means "that could be ME and that makes ME sad," see what I mean. When people don't understand each other clearly or feel isolated, that's when society starts labeling
right here what I'm trying to say is simply, what if some people who DO feel get mistaken for sociopaths because they either don't know how to express their emotions or they're so out of touch with their emotions they don't know show them or act upon them.

illnesses, labels, and misunderstanding aside, I have thought about it for about ten years and have come to the conclusion that altrustic behavior is the smartest choice. Help others and do good, regardless of whether anyone sees you or not, and others are more likely to reciprocate. You don't have to empathize, just don't be foolish. Doing harm always has a way of coming back and biting you, so rather we feel or not it's really easy to just blend in. Being good reduces conflicts. Be smart
to clear up any ambiguity, I'm not a sociopath. If I didn't feel I wouldn't care enough to respond to a post, right? No, I was just trying to point out how blurry the line is defining "normal" because I when I first read the definition of a sociopath I was worried that I might be one, but that cannot be the case because if I was, then why would I be afraid of being one? Right?

The people (along with 99% of the rest of the world) on YouTube have no idea of what sociopathy is. We are not idiotic or delusional, I know what the DSM lables me as. I also know there is nothing wrong with me. And yes, sociopaths DO have emotions. Anger is an emotion dumbasses. We lack guilt. Psychopaths are the ones with little or no emotion. Christ, take a psych class or pull your heads out of your asses.
This is absolutely idiotic. It paints all sociopaths as evil bastards who kill with impunity or soulless shells. It's just another personality. I have never killed anyone and I am not evil. There is no such thing. Evil is a human construct, along with morality and religion. I lack empathy, which means I cannot "put myself in your shoes", and have no remorse. I do not intentionally hurt people.
@dljc1979 Are you really a sociopath? fuck that must suck, but then again you wouldn't know... you're cold-hearted. Do you ever think about killing a person? most people don't care for insects and kill them all the time, but we don't have to go to prison for killing insects... so remember not to kill people, prison sucks!
@pyromaniaccorpse You'll have to deal with VERY few people compared to how many there are. If you think of killers as those who kill without the blessing of law, government or some other authority or institution, they might as well not be there. Their impact is so minor that the pain they cause outweigh any positive that might result from their activity.
@GabrielGZNH perfection. it is a handicap, however understandably not accepted by others. they understand truth, intelligently as you put it, morality more so than so many.
@GabrielGZNH "Because they act moral for real reasons... Not genetically preconditioned emotions..." I don't understand what you mean? "real reasons"? what reasons? only one I can think of is not going to prison.
@MrLukasart but they do. and maybe some animals are more advanced than others. you think about killing people, have i told you how great your comment is? ok...
@MrLukasart you have an idea. being sociopathic does not imply extreme violence or fantasies of such. sociopathy has many faces as the video shows, and in variations of every level of personality does. not everyone is prone to violence. and some are violent some are not. and having a brief flash of wishful retaliation is normal.
this is like having a wire in your brain missing. it is not intentional...there are bad ones, that want to hurt people or animals. but there is another side, that cannot hold on to information for long enough, or emotion, for it to have an impact. it can happen, and supposed to care or get upset, but it is not grasped long enough for impact. it is like knowing that it is supposed to feel or be "this way" but it doesn't happen because it is so quickly let go of or forgotten.
@TheNoyouonlyme i agree like how when i saw a dead baby online for the first time the only thing i thought was. what if that was me. then i said oh well its not so i dont care and then laughed. people consider me a heartless person but i know what you mean. i know what feelings are like but i haven't felt them in a while. i find this beneficial.
@HarrySackthatsme You're not a sociopath, if you were you wouldn't type "damn" lol you just wouldn't care. Do you see racist people typing, "damn I think I'm racist" ? lol
Screw you any your labels. This is such bullshit....get out of the "Box" of knowledge that we are all fed as truth. I rebel and always will. Fuck authority and those bastards that want to control others. I am FREE!!! And fuck your system of labeling others that say fuck the system.
But ... you being free is not an objective truth. Still, it's how you feel about it that matters, right?
People are not likely to ever step outside of the box they've been put in, it's refreshing to see someone who at least understands that mainstream isn't the 'good and right' it claims to be.
@oleHABSole if that's what you need to tell yourself so you can feel better about being controlled...ok. Sounds like a sheeple mentality to me. Lables of this or that for people that don't embrace the system...and those that don't...they're labled as something wrong with them because they say fuck the system. You sound like either sheeple people or....some schmuck that has a desire to control others. WAKE UP MAN!!!
@xqrz499 What exactly are you talking about here? if there was no law! do you have any idea how difficult life would be for the weak and elderly? how many people would die to gangs?
When a drunk driver get's in his car you don't think that there's something wrong here? if people could just get on a plane and fly to any country they wanted, how many suicide bombing there would be.
You're probably a sociapath who needs to be in control and dominance and hates when a cop tells him what to do.
@oleHABSole if that's what you need to tell yourself....so be it. Good luck in life. We view this differently...I respect your perspective....but do not share it. Thanks for your attempts at criticizing someone that thinks contrary to you...that shows much maturation on your part. Take care friend. I'm done waisting time on you.
@xqrz499 "I respect your perspective....but do not share it." that's something a normal person would never say, it's fucking creepy too. You're right we are "contrary" to each other, but just remember you're the minority. btw how exactly would you like this world we live in to be??? I bet you don't even know lol
@oleHABSole you are a moron of profound proportions you keyboard commando twit. You're head is buried so firmly up your ass you can't see the fuckin forest though the trees there jackoff. Schmucks like you that conform to some perceived sociatial standard of behavior are the ones that, as I said, are fuckin sheep or someone prick that has an orgasm at the concept of controlling others...it's sickening to see what a judgmental fuck you are..quick to label others with no ability to assess yourself
@xqrz499 nah, not a prison guard or anything like that, definitely not into controlling people, quite the opposite I'm your everyday run-o-the-mill nice guy. Just trying too hard to sound wise and instead sounding ridiculous on the internet. :-/ Oops embarassing

@oleHABSole you're probably a cop or worse, a prison guard or something aren't ya? I'd venture a guess you rub one out daily to the thought of controlling and imposing your will on others. A profoundly small mind that needs to criticize and label others to make yourself feel better about the looser you've turned out to be in life. You are no longer worth my time. Go play in traffic.
@xqrz499 You can make fun of me all you want, you're just a monster in a human body, no fucking emotion or empathy for others. I feel sorry for you! you don't even know what you're missing, you have no idea what it's like to be in love.
my friend is a sociopath. ive always known, and at times admired his conflict hardened indifference to personal suffering. he is a genious, but has learned to create balance in life with higher thinking. ex. questions regarding choice, free will.. weve both agreed that there is no reason to climb the ladders in society, or even do anything well if you are always shadowed by an ungratefullness for the true meaning of what it means to be anyone.
@MegaMiir I can relate to what you're saying. However, there often comes a time in life where you're ready for something new. Most avenues in life are not one dimensional, and there is a possibility that you may develop new perspectives that open up for new ideas and new prospects, new possibilities and ideals to pursue. In ten years from now you and your friend may see things differently from how you see them now, that's all I'm saying. :)
@lpoi7 It can't. One mental illness does not become another. But borderline personality disorder, if that's what you're talking about, does have similar personality signs.
@aaa333ify Definitely not!! ... The ratio depicted is 1 to 3 in 100, but even that may be inaccurate, because most people displaying psychopathic behavior, thought and emotions, are in fact people with Antisocial Personality Disorder.
@MrKakadoie Erh...."1 for 50 ratio"...? ...Do you mean 1 in 50 Psychopaths in the population? If that's what you're thinking of, it can't be estimated so precisely. The assumption is that ca. 1 in 100 people are psychopaths, but if we include people with Antisocial Personality Disorder the ratio is perhaps closer to 2 or 3 in 100.
great video, and oh yes, I think I would now know, quite a few, quite a few out there. Very frightening to see them operate when you have known one or so long and well enough to know all the angles they operate from. It will always surprise you of course because you just can't imagine one could be that way, or do what they do, even though you already know they could, still blindsides you.
i met one (really liked him) before i ever knew what a sociopath was. im an empath and had i known what a sociopath was back then i would have spotted him instantly - in fact, my brother is a little on the sociopathic spectrum, it answers so much about why we conflicted so much growing up. he was insensitive and i was very sensitive. fucked up combination if you don't understand it.
@ohdoshutit the funny part is, I think that the sociopath starts out more sensitive than all of us, they just bury it and punish everyone around them 'cause they can't deal like a normal person would with pain and emotions, I believe once they bury it is when the path begins.
@Zhawq brain scans can appear different when observed during anger etc, we create neuropaths and we can also train our thoughts which create them. I believe some may have actual defects that lead to abnormal thinking abilities socially, but of the many out there functioning in society I believe there may have been a point long ago where retraining could have put them on a different path, the reason why those who make to 30s untreated have little hope of change.
@whatinthewerld ... You've got a point, but I think we're talking about two different groups of people.
That said, what you mention about brain scans appearing differently under different circumstances according to how the individual feel at the time has a grain of truth, but not quite in the way that I think you mean it. MRI scans today can easily pick up underlying anger. The point is there is no anger with these people, even when it should be there.
@whatinthewerld Research over the last few decades show that if a person is a sociopath/psychopath no training can change the fact. They may get better at not getting caught, that's all. However, for people with Antisocial Personality Disorder, what you propose can definitely make a difference.
@MrKakadoie I'm far from being a sociopathy specialist. But I try to stay informed and have acquired some knowledge about it (and related conditions) and about the various trends in research, etc..
That said, I think most of us probably know something about sociopathy without being aware of it because it affects most people's lives at some level. When I realized this, I decided to find out more. - I have always had an interest in psychology and psychiatry, though. :)
@TheNoyouonlyme Uhm... Did I spell Sociopath or Psychopath wrong? Whoa, my humblest apology! What must the Sociopaths and the Psychopaths not think of me!?? No, we can't have that. Please eave another comment with a written sample of each word: Sociopath, and: Psychopath,... but with the right spelling! ... I'll pray that will learn from you and never make another typo! Amen... ;-)
@TheNoyouonlyme Darn, where on earth did the 'l' in 'leave' go??
And, TheYouTooButFirstZhawqThat'sMe, you didn't leave a line about what I mis-spelled! Now is that rude or what? What shall a poor illiterate Zhawq do without someone to point out his typos!?? I bet you did it on purpose just to make me feel ashamed that I can't spell... You bully, you!
Ps. Merry X-mass, TheNoyouonlyme! ... and to everybody else too! ... '^L^,
@MrKakadoie That is healthy and normal. Most people learn to hide their feelings, but that doesn't mean they're not there. But with the psychopath the feelings really are not there. Still, that in itself doesn't make a person bad or evil. Harmful behavior does that, not absence of feelings.
Can I ask you, MrKakadoie: Could you still feel sad for a dead animal? Or do you consider those feelings gone and a thing of the past?
@QuartuvLarry ... One thing may be that you personally know the government isn't greater than you. But to make the government see it too (to "show the government") is a quite different story!
Have you planned a line of action that might help you actually achieve this?
@Zhawq Plastic, actually. Better that than composite material, or scraping the bottom when shallowing would be more damaging, Mine's a sea kayak; 14 footer
@QuartuvLarry Wow, I wasn't sure you even had a kayak, but I see you do. Must've been expensive too, no? ... Yeah, plastic is by far the better material though back in the day people swore to glass fiber.
I still have this romantic notion of seal skin kayaks, but they take a lot of maintenance. ^^
@JosephD79 I agree. But it's true that today people use the term Sociopath and Psychopath interchangeably, and laymen think of Antisocial Personality Disorder the same way as they think of Sociopathy (which to them is Psychopathy). - It's being discussed whether the old term Psychopath should be used for both Sociopathy and Psychopathy, but "experts" can't seem to agree.
If someone cried with you over the death of a loved one, would that not be good enough. Even if they could not feel the pain them-self wouldn't the idea that they can see yours and understand your pain be evidence that they "care". These terms are just propaganda to make people distance themselves from each other anyway.
You read the dialogue right sociopaths have no remorse and lack the feeling of empathy its either very low or not there. I keep getting told theres a possibility im one but i doubt it...
@metagrossil ... Wow! ... Who said that to you? And why? ... It's a very serious thing to call someone a sociopath!
@EdgelineIndividual ... Would I know if I met one? ... I'm not sure. But I do know now that I did know one years ago. I knew he was so "wrong" or "off", but could never put my finger on anything concrete. I finally cut the connection when I caught him in a lie (didn't tell him, knew it wouldn't lead anywhere), and that was what I needed to act.
@metagrossil Well they clearly didn't know what they were saying, that's for sure!
There can be many reasons why we aren't as emotionally inclined as others. Some people just don't show emotions in public, for instance, and others just have a different set of emotional and/or ethical values.
There're also those who really don't experience much deep emotion but who share the morals and values of society in general. To be a sociopath/psychopath you must have deviant/criminal behavior.
@Lars1993@Lars1993 I frequent a forum where one of the other members call herself "psychopath_friend". She brags that: "Don't piss me off, because I have a psychopath, and he will avenge me if you step out of line!".
What's your guess: Does she "have" a psychopath? Or is she perhaps a psychopath? Maybe she's just DUMB!??... :-D
@metagrossil Oh wait, I see what you mean now. Pal, don't pay too much attention to how others think of your showing or not showing emotions. It's what makes sense to you that matters! - You might want to ask yourself if you feel these emotions (sympathy and sadness), and if you don't, why that is. It's your life, and your emotions, not other people's. Maybe you're just not very good at social stuff, but that can be learned. :)
@KiloShank The terms are propaganda, not to make people distance themselves, but to make them move closer to each other and "stay in line". It's the modern term for 'witch', if you will. No one wants to be called out as a witch, and this fear compels the majority of people to "think inside the box" and abstain from too much individual thinking (and activity). And believe it or not, there's good sense in it being this way, but there'll always be those of us who can't help but be individualists.
@ballandstickmodel ... What? ... I sing songs in my head all the time. :) ... There's nothing abnormal about that, it's just a sign of an active - and possibly creative - mind!
i thought id feel something when my father left the house, nothing. i dont feel anything for any one but myself :(. i like to think i have some emotions for my family though i love my brother an dmother. but i also thought i loved my father. idk maybe i just feel sorry for him. idk what i am hopefully i dont turn into a sociopath then again im only 17
@UrLame889 That is very true. My son was diagnosed with both Autism by one doctor and Asperger's syndrome by another but there is more to him that. He has all the traits listed in this video too.
Hi,We have organized a new meetup group in South Florida
(called South Florida Survivors of Sociopaths ) . We have had a similar
personal experience with misconduct by a West Palm DCF child abuse investigator who lied and helped the abuser..If you have have survived past abuse by a Narcissist Personality Disorder man (AKA Sociopath)Please check out our Meetup group .Good luck in your journey of healing!! God Bless You
@MrKakadoie That's correct. However, psychopath/sociopaths (not people with ASPD) usually have a high degree of Narcissism. It's usually a dominant part of the condition. The line between Psychopathy and Malignant Narcissism can be hard to set. - I think this is why people often confuse Narcissism and Psychopathy.
@MrKakadoie Kakadoie, neither of us can claim to have 'straight facts' about statistics. How large a percentage of the population are psychopaths is disputed. Some say 1%, some say 4%! My estimation is an average of the most commonly adhered to assumption, nothing more.
About ASPD and Sociopathy being the same thing: With DSM-IV it was decided to include Psychopathy, Sociopathy, and other terms in that group, under the term ASPD. This happened in the 1990s (forgot the exact year)...
@MrKakadoie Yes, I thought as much, you did know about it.
"I seriously think they're all the same in different situations".
That kind of says it quite clearly. Probably nothing I or others say can will sway you, your mind is made up: They're all the same. What's there to learn? You already know it all! I suspect you're simply being stubborn here, you know I have a point, but you're more interested in winning the argument. You're being silly, mrKakadoie, that's how I see this.
Picture, picture! Where can i get the picture?

It could be you knew the guy, and knew him to be a jerk, then a grudge is understanblde. But to get outraged at it all the time, might be odd.

But the social norm isn't what we actually feel. It's how we think we're supposed to feel. You don't hurt others because you don't want to go to jail or be judged negatively. Just because people have a different way of thinking or unique DNA doesn't make them insane or murderers. Lacking remorse just means not conforming to what everyone else seems to.

I question if sociopathy is even an actual problem. The description is too general, at some given moment in all of our lives, I believe some of the signs are present in everyone. Also not everyone is as open with their emotions. Every emotion, even empathy has its roots in selfishness. "I feel bad because I can relate" means "that could be ME and that makes ME sad," see what I mean. When people don't understand each other clearly or feel isolated, that's when society starts labeling

illnesses, labels, and misunderstanding aside, I have thought about it for about ten years and have come to the conclusion that altrustic behavior is the smartest choice. Help others and do good, regardless of whether anyone sees you or not, and others are more likely to reciprocate. You don't have to empathize, just don't be foolish. Doing harm always has a way of coming back and biting you, so rather we feel or not it's really easy to just blend in. Being good reduces conflicts. Be smart

The people (along with 99% of the rest of the world) on YouTube have no idea of what sociopathy is. We are not idiotic or delusional, I know what the DSM lables me as. I also know there is nothing wrong with me. And yes, sociopaths DO have emotions. Anger is an emotion dumbasses. We lack guilt. Psychopaths are the ones with little or no emotion. Christ, take a psych class or pull your heads out of your asses.

This is absolutely idiotic. It paints all sociopaths as evil bastards who kill with impunity or soulless shells. It's just another personality. I have never killed anyone and I am not evil. There is no such thing. Evil is a human construct, along with morality and religion. I lack empathy, which means I cannot "put myself in your shoes", and have no remorse. I do not intentionally hurt people.

@ohdoshutit the funny part is, I think that the sociopath starts out more sensitive than all of us, they just bury it and punish everyone around them 'cause they can't deal like a normal person would with pain and emotions, I believe once they bury it is when the path begins.

@Zhawq brain scans can appear different when observed during anger etc, we create neuropaths and we can also train our thoughts which create them. I believe some may have actual defects that lead to abnormal thinking abilities socially, but of the many out there functioning in society I believe there may have been a point long ago where retraining could have put them on a different path, the reason why those who make to 30s untreated have little hope of change.

@whatinthewerld ... You've got a point, but I think we're talking about two different groups of people.
That said, what you mention about brain scans appearing differently under different circumstances according to how the individual feel at the time has a grain of truth, but not quite in the way that I think you mean it. MRI scans today can easily pick up underlying anger. The point is there is no anger with these people, even when it should be there.

@whatinthewerld Research over the last few decades show that if a person is a sociopath/psychopath no training can change the fact. They may get better at not getting caught, that's all. However, for people with Antisocial Personality Disorder, what you propose can definitely make a difference.

If someone cried with you over the death of a loved one, would that not be good enough.

There can be many reasons why we aren't as emotionally inclined as others. Some people just don't show emotions in public, for instance, and others just have a different set of emotional and/or ethical values.
There're also those who really don't experience much deep emotion but who share the morals and values of society in general. To be a sociopath/psychopath you must have deviant/criminal behavior.

What's your guess: Does she "have" a psychopath? Or is she perhaps a psychopath? Maybe she's just DUMB!??... :-D

@metagrossil ..because you don't cry and don't show sympathy for others ... you don't understand what?
I don't understand your question. :)

@metagrossil Oh wait, I see what you mean now. Pal, don't pay too much attention to how others think of your showing or not showing emotions. It's what makes sense to you that matters! - You might want to ask yourself if you feel these emotions (sympathy and sadness), and if you don't, why that is. It's your life, and your emotions, not other people's. Maybe you're just not very good at social stuff, but that can be learned. :)

@KiloShank The terms are propaganda, not to make people distance themselves, but to make them move closer to each other and "stay in line". It's the modern term for 'witch', if you will. No one wants to be called out as a witch, and this fear compels the majority of people to "think inside the box" and abstain from too much individual thinking (and activity). And believe it or not, there's good sense in it being this way, but there'll always be those of us who can't help but be individualists.

@ballandstickmodel ... What? ... I sing songs in my head all the time. :) ... There's nothing abnormal about that, it's just a sign of an active - and possibly creative - mind!

@UrLame889 That is very true. My son was diagnosed with both Autism by one doctor and Asperger's syndrome by another but there is more to him that. He has all the traits listed in this video too.

@ilresqunow Lol it's not narcissist it's antisocial. I think you're on the wrong page
MrKakadoie 1 year ago
@MrKakadoie That's correct. However, psychopath/sociopaths (not people with ASPD) usually have a high degree of Narcissism. It's usually a dominant part of the condition. The line between Psychopathy and Malignant Narcissism can be hard to set. - I think this is why people often confuse Narcissism and Psychopathy.

@Zhawq ASPD and sociopathy are the same thing. U sure you got your information straight?
MrKakadoie 1 year ago 2
@MrKakadoie Kakadoie, neither of us can claim to have 'straight facts' about statistics. How large a percentage of the population are psychopaths is disputed. Some say 1%, some say 4%! My estimation is an average of the most commonly adhered to assumption, nothing more.
About ASPD and Sociopathy being the same thing: With DSM-IV it was decided to include Psychopathy, Sociopathy, and other terms in that group, under the term ASPD. This happened in the 1990s (forgot the exact year)...

@Zhawq 80's... Seriously, son, I am dissapoint. Every single thing you said I already knew about it.
MrKakadoie 1 year ago
@MrKakadoie Yes, I thought as much, you did know about it.
"I seriously think they're all the same in different situations".
That kind of says it quite clearly. Probably nothing I or others say can will sway you, your mind is made up: They're all the same. What's there to learn? You already know it all! I suspect you're simply being stubborn here, you know I have a point, but you're more interested in winning the argument. You're being silly, mrKakadoie, that's how I see this.
