 Shane Dawson just dropped part two of the mind of Jake Paul and this one was titled the dark side of Jake Paul and he was with the lovely Katie Morton who is a licensed marriage and family therapist here on YouTube and when I was watching this video I'm like wait a second a ton of people who watch this are going to start trying to diagnose themselves or diagnosing other people around them as sociopaths so we need to talk about that right now What is up everybody this is Chris from The Reward Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about helping you improve your mental health that could be improving depression or anxiety or your relationships and things like that so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell I promise you that I am not a sociopath but like people keep saying like that's exactly what a sociopath would say but anyways first and foremost uh go check out Katie Morton's channel I actually go check out her channel when I'm trying to learn a little bit more about different mental illnesses to do videos on my channels she's very very smart and educated so go check her out her subscriber numbers are blowing up um because of this and I'm actually gonna make a second video right after this talking about but anyways if you're watching this Katie Morton or anybody else watching this I've been trying to collab with Katie Morton since I came on YouTube because I love what she's doing she lives in Southern California I live in Las Vegas Katie let's collab together let's spread a message of hope to anybody struggling with mental illness girl but anyways maybe in the future maybe when I get bigger but yeah let's talk about this let's talk about the dark side of Jake Paul so I was live streaming this over on Twitch and I was taking down notes all sorts of notes I have like 15 billion video ideas but as I was watching this I was like man like a lot of people I know a lot of people can relate to different symptoms and signs and you know a lot of people might spot them and others so we need to talk about it so if you haven't watched it go watch it there's gonna be some spoilers but um Katie Morton starts describing all the traits of a sociopath feel for other people yeah and we we feel all day I feel pissed off I feel excited I feel disappointed whatever they don't have any of that and in the DSM this is what she had I actually have like a little pocket guide but it's just uh it's a diagnosable disorder as anti-social personality disorder okay um she mentioned that 15% of criminals in the prison system have anti-social personality disorder so these are people um who have impulsivity issues the biggest one is a lack of emotions as well as manipulation uh if you want to learn more about it I just made a video um the first video where I go through all the different signs of a sociopath but like as I'm watching this you know all sorts of thoughts were running through my head and like so for those of you who don't know me I'm an addict and alcoholic in recovery so when she was talking about how people are doing things only to meet their needs and they're talking about how a youtuber might you know make an apology video just to get people on their side or the youtuber might do something nice for a fan or something like that but it's just to get something in return like if you've ever known an addict or an addict or an addict or alcoholic a lot of them do that um we call this self-seeking where we're only doing things to get something in return whether it's like physical tangible things or it's like attention or affection or love or things like that but I think it's important to separate you know uh the signs and symptoms versus like an actual diagnosis like mental health and mental illness are so complex and it's one of the reasons I have this channel to increase awareness and decrease the stigma and all that stuff like it's so complicated and this DSM it's it's a framework it's a guide to kind of work in but as you start to learn more about different mental illnesses you start to see all of this overlap okay you start to like they talked about in uh this this video they talked about how sociopaths and narcissists have similar traits if you look at people with borderline personality disorder you'll see a lot of sociopathic traits right but she touched on a point where she said some people only might show some of the signs or symptoms but you know they really feel awful they feel bad like if you know anybody with borderline personality disorder that's them you know what I mean they manipulate people they try to get what they want they're trying to get love affection they they don't have a sense of self they don't have an identity so they might mimic other people and things like that but most people with borderline personality disorder which is why I hate the stigma around that disorder most of them feel awful they feel terrible about the things that they do to other people so like I wanted to touch on that real quick because when we're talking about this like you might know people who have signs and symptoms but like please please please like as somebody who's like a mental health advocate like don't go running around like saying oh there's a sociopath there's a sociopath you're a sociopath because some people just might have those traits right so one thing that Shane touched on was sometimes he doesn't feel emotion sometimes he doesn't cry sometimes you know if you see something sad he doesn't and I'm thinking about making a video about how society and social media is turning us into sociopaths like that that lack of emotion that lack of empathy that um you know we're talking about like when Katie said they'll like just move on from one subject to a next like you got to understand we're living in this 24 hour news cycle where this is one of the reasons why more people have depression and anxiety than ever before but we're constantly inundated with bad news bad news bad news awful news like back in the day 30 or 40 years ago like it had to be a major crisis in the world or in your area for you to really hear about it you know what I mean now we're seeing more and more and more and more everywhere we go and eventually people start getting desensitized to it so over on the Philip DeFranco red rocket podcast they were talking about getting kind of desensitized to it and I could really relate to that does that make them sociopaths does that make me a sociopath no absolutely not but it's something that I personally look and reflect on constantly so those of you who are new to my channel not only am I an addict and alcoholic and recovery I've been clean for six years but I also worked at a treatment center for three years okay in the last three years I have had over 70 people die over 70 people die from overdoses and suicides okay there are so many times there are so many times when I get this news and just no emotion right just none you know what I mean and it makes me question myself like what's happening to me am I just numb to this type of thing but sometimes those emotions come back later but I want you all to know if you're watching this like don't judge yourself too harshly if you don't express the emotions that you think somebody should express our brains are so complex and constantly changing and like like some of us who have just been around like that kind of trauma so so much and that tragedy we get a little desensitized to it and it sucks but you have to really be mindful of your situation and notice like okay I do feel things I do feel for other people like Katie morning talked about how this old lady was walking across the street and she's like oh man I hope you get across that street girl for instance the other day I was in my car and I'm driving and there's this little lady that started to get into the crosswalk and I was like honey you got like 12 seconds you know what I mean like we have to spot those things in our self and say oh okay I don't feel no emotion at all because it's important to just realize that you know we can't always judge ourselves for what we feel or what we don't feel that's a huge part of mental health is we're constantly judging our emotions so like they go on later to say is that Shane is an empath you know Shane feels a lot but you know his brain can point out the specific times when he didn't feel bad you know what I mean that doesn't mean that yes he's a sociopath now like on a certain day you might have sociopathic tendencies or sociopathic traits if you really want to learn more about this go watch my video I'll try to link it up in the info card up here about my borderline personality disorder story okay so just a real brief little recap of that I've never been officially diagnosed with borderline personality disorder but as I learned about it I noticed a lot of those traits that I used to have a lot of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder I had but now I'm in a much better mental state but for example one of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder is black black and white thinking a ton a ton of people have black and white thinking that does not mean that they have borderline personality disorder so you know like part of what I try to do on this channel is just to educate people I know that Shane Dawson's new video the dark side of Jake Paul with Katie Morton is going to get millions upon millions upon millions of views and I'm hoping I'm hoping some of you came to this video and you're learning like okay don't run around telling everybody they're a sociopath don't think that you're a sociopath if you need help make sure you check out the description below I have resources where you can talk to mental health professionals and things like that all right but don't go around diagnosing yourself like YouTube is a great place where we can educate people like when I do videos about different disorders or diagnosing people and you know it's like I try not to diagnose anybody I try to explain I don't know this person I think Katie Morton did a very good job of saying she doesn't know Jake Paul so she's not going to diagnose him without knowing him you know what I mean but like we got to be careful we got to be careful about trying to self diagnose or diagnose others like I know a lot of people who get sober you know and they're like oh you're a drug addict you're a drug addict you're an alcoholic you're an alcoholic and I I warn people all the time I'm like don't do that you're gonna piss a lot of people off all right but anyways this was a very interesting video um and also make sure you're subscribed and ring the notification bell right after I upload this video I'm gonna go to edit a next video and the next video is gonna be about Shane
