As opposed to most narcissists, psychopaths are either unable or unwilling to control their impulses or to delay gratification. They use their rage to control people and manipulate them into submission. Psychopaths, like narcissists, lack empathy but many of them are also sadistic: they take pleasure in inflicting pain on their victims or in deceiving them. They even find it funny! (From the book "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited" by Sam Vaknin - Click on this link to purchase the print book, or 16 e-books, or 2 DVDs with 12 hours of video lectures on narcissists, psychopaths, and abuse in relationships: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/thebook.html)

  • "Narcissist or Psychopath? What Are the Differences?"

    They are simply evil manifested in different personality types. Tho the stench of their decay differs, it is rot none the less.

  • @johnuio Psychopaths are incapable of effectively extracting semantic and affective information from words,images and sounds.They live their life on autopilot.Imagine tying your shoes.Thats how their brain is non-stop.The can't even begin to care about things.They may say they have a moral,but they're just repeating what their parents taught them.They don't really care about anything or anyone.They don't manipulate on purpose,as they don't grasp the deep meaning of anything,they're like animals.

  • can u do a

    narcissist vs sociopath

  • They should definitely come up with a "merged" category going forward. I can attest first hand, this hybrid is ALIVE and WELL amongst us and it is clothed like a villain in the night.

    I can not thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to do these tapes. They are invaluable. Rare is the therapist who has any worthwhile practical experience or in depth knowledge of this condition. I only wish I had discovered them years ago.

    Peace be with you~

  • @EternalFuu Humans and their puritanism. It's inseperable like rodent and simple dirt.

  • I used to wonder if Steve Jobs was a psychopath or a narcissist. Now, it is clear as day he was a narcissist. Thank you.

  • this video is accurate. i'd like to add that a narcissist is so arrogant that they would play rite into the hands of a psychopath. i cant lie, it warms my heart to see the look on their conniving shit bag faces when they figure it out

  • i think i have around 7 stages of npd still waiting for help and advice no one seems to know any thing about my disorder could you help

  • @Hivoyer just one correction " ,they're like animals" is not right because animals care animals have emotions ...better would be to say they are like machines

  • ohh! ohh! ohh! yes ohh! poetry... ahah!
