How I Became a Sociopath

First of all I would like to apologise for being away for so long, I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues both on my part & on Sam's part. We are now back with weekly videos, a new theme, & a fast growing community. Thank you for all the support we have been getting over the past few months, & welcome to the channel to the many new subscribers.

REMINDER: I am professionally diagnosed with ASPD, as well as NPD traits. Everything I mention here is talked through my lenses and the ones of my close friends with Cluster B disorders. I only speak for high functioning individuals with ASPD/NPD, not low functioning. I am NOT a mental health professional, & only have a degree in abnormal psychology.

‘But I can’t help who I am as a person, all I can do is make good choices.’
You are brilliant.

[iaminconstantpain]

Honestly, to choose to be a good person is better than being a good person because you're driven by guilt

[no_one_]

"I CHOOSE"
EXACTLY.
I love this. I'm a neurodivergent empath married to a recovering semi narc who was raised by a family of vicious, full fledged narcs.
He makes cognitive decisions every day to be a good person inside and out. I have more empathy, love and respect for someone like that than I do for the average human being. I think people who develop free will and use it to the health of all are heroes... and in my eyes, 95% of human beings fall terribly short of that.

You can't judge people for what they feel, only how they behave.

[freddouchebag]

I think becoming a sociopath is a kind of a survival mechanism.

[krystalwagner]

I had a close friend who was a diagnosed sociopath, and I loved how she described it “i don’t really feel emotions, but when I do they are far too extreme” she was never hurtful, she was compassionate and protective

[whisperywind]

“I think compassion is something we can choose”. A word!!!

[esthermajek]

There are millions of people with empathy that still hurt people it is definitely a choice!!!

[zion]

You are different because you seek to do better. I am in an NPD fb group and many of the narcissists there glorify their toxic behavior and love to mock empathic people. There is definitly a difference...

[sarahcouture]

My dad was the same. A tyrant who had zero tolerance for emotional expression. “Quit crying, or I’ll give you something to cry about!” He was also angry and very critical. It is a horrible way to grow up, I feel ya.

I’m sorry that you also experience the emptiness. I really like how you say how people with disorders are just desperately trying to be loved by someone finally. They weren’t valued for who they were, only if they act as directed. Conditional love at its worst…

[DiamondQuality]

There are so many bad people who have empathy and still choose to harm. People make choices.

[marionprepon]

Fighting the urge to send this to my narcissistic step-mom that abused me and say, “see. Abuse is a CHOICE.”

[msmariam]

I know people with massive empathy who are still selfish and emotionally abusive.
An empathetic person looking down on someone because they don’t have much empathy is already being abusive.

[BabyMango]

It’s funny to me that people think all sociopaths are the exact same person. All people with bipolar are the same person. All people with narcissism are the same person. Etc.
I hope your videos can help educate those types of people who believe that!

[Divergent]

I've noticed that I have trouble crying and feeling because my mother would get angry when I cried as a child. My sadness more often than not turns to rage because of how I have had to suppress it. 'If you're going to cry, go to your room!' I'll give you something to cry about!' This has devastating consequences on a child.

[karikari]

This is why when my daughter gets hurt I tell her it’s ok to be sad and hold her while she cry’s and help her calm her body slowly. It’s ok to feel.

[anastasiachaliman]

"I choose not to be a shitty person. "
Yes!!! This is everything. I've been thinking a lot about people who are sociopaths and how there's a mob mentality when it comes to them. Which is disgusting.
I applaud you for coming out and speaking about it. It's very brave of you and I think you're amazing.

[Krissstiine]

I feel you Kanika. I went through very abusive experience as a child, to the point that I did not feel anything. Physically and emotionally. I did not feel physical pain after I was but by a dog and was stitched, or when I fell really hard from my bicycle and hit my head really bad… later as a teenager I realised that I don’t feel any emotions and was severely depressed. I felt empty inside and did not understand what was happening to me. But later I started seeing a therapist and been in therapy since. It turns out that my real self is actually very, very sensitive and I am an empath. Therefore I strongly believe that we can change once we truly connect with ourselves. The difficult part is that connection but once you get there, life changes. I wish everyone to be able to connect with themselves. Life will become beautiful instantly.

[jenniferbarberi]

My boyfriend is a diagnosed sociopath. Going on four years and he has never mistreated me. As a matter of fact he's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Thank you so much for speaking out about this, so many people have the wrong idea

[SinginginD]

Oh my gosh yes. I have bipolar disorder, someone very close to me has borderline personality disorder, and we are absolutely villainized. Even though I personally have extreme extreme empathy. To the point it is a huge burden. I actually can have a hard time making decisions because my feelings are so overwhelming. But I don’t always tell people I have bipolar disorder because I assume that means I am nuts and every time I get mad that it’s irrational. Like my feelings are no longer valid just because I have a disorder. It’s so weird.
