Dr. Ramani: *intellectually talking*
Interviewer: "😟😖😨😵😰🙂"

[shoopdj]

The statement, "A psychopath is born, a sociopath is made", clears up a lot of confusion for me.

[Brucessary]

The statement "They will dispose of you if you get in their way" sent chills down my spine.

[nvrgngback]

That clock is very low. That bothers me.

[ysnc]

I didn't need his reactions. Or interruptions. Loved her though

[kenlounders]

I never met a narcissist that was sorry for the damage they cause.

[rabeeamansoor]

In the world full of narcissistic, psychopaths, and sociopaths, it's so hard to find a sane person to choose as your partner.

[paulieluce]

I feel like the interviewer lowkey freaking out cuz he knows he’s a narcissist

[leannabad]

I think the main mistake here was the excessive cutting to the interviewer even when he wasn't talking.

[MaxOakland]

"Narcissism is a disorder of self-esteem" is something I've never heard but I think it's the best explanation ever

[oyabun]

My mother and her father are raging narcissists with a complete lack of empathy for anyone but themselves. It's hard to grow up along these people because they will make you feel like everything bad that is happening is somehow your fault even if you are not involved at all. The manipulation I went through is really hard to overcome but I'm getting better at recognizing what is actually my fault and things that just happen to happen to me.

I listened to this woman for just 30 seconds and I've already decided she explains things better than most professionals. Thank you, Dr. Ramani!!!

[cheesecakelasagna]

"Guilt and shame, shame is a public emotion."

Damn, never thought of it that way but does make sense!

[martaszabo]

Thank you for clarifying that. I was victim of a sociopath. But managed to stay alive. God helped me. Dangerous people with zero remorse

[kleineoOoStern]

Now I understand why my ex husband was diagnosed psychopath and narcissistic. I still struggle to grasp every little abuse that I went through because of his mental disorders but I did a lot of progress these past two months

[nicholasmartin]

This woman knows her stuff and is an excellent communicator.

[MB]

TWO people should be fired immediately. 1) The interviewer. 2) The person who chose the interviewer.

[rupertperiwinkle]

Dr. Ramani is on the world stage as THE expert in Narcissism. She has been making waves in this Mental health arena for years. I am so happy she's getting world renowned recognition for her life's work. Read her new book, "It's Not You" -- so so good and insightful. A must read! (And I'm not someone who leaves book reviews because I'm lazy lol) This book is that good! Thank you so much MedCircle and Dr. Ramani for helping millions!

[MGCrow-jcps]

This video made it very clear to me: my ex was a psychopath and not a narcissist.

[Zoelis]

He doesn’t need to be there. She can give this information without him.
