The way he explained the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath was excellent and is the best most easily explanation I have heard yet. Very interesting, I also agree that lots of folks have abnormal/abusive childhoods, but it was our "normal" and until you even have a chance to understand and think about it and put it into perspective, people just assume everyone's childhood was similar and thus, normal.

In that sense, I feel a direct match, and I see things perfectly clearly, one-on-one with a person. Sometimes, I don't connect at all, and I am not sure why. Trust but verify.

This was so interesting. I Loved it.

What would be interesting also to hear is if you asked the same questions but to a shaman💙. Would you consider that?

Thank you guys.

LOL. When a pyschopath severs a relationship I feel relieved. Just so long as the relationship exists they can lever it against you.

Good interview! A question that came to mind at the end when he mentioned them sometimes not having information on people they are assessing due to them maybe having flown under the radar, at what age on average do people get diagnosed ie do they commit some sort of crime that gets them diagnosed at a young age and those that get diagnosed later in age are less common or is it variable?

I have a question i decided to leave stay away from this narcissist guy he really bullied me this morning and i been seeing song he stalking me now i think he be stalking

[Intenseabstractions]

Can I ask. During the research done on individuals, usually locked up. How many or what % of violent psychopaths have done PCP? Either given to them by the medical establishment in America for an operation or otherwise.
Please could you find this out.
Thank you 🙏

Literally the worst "educational" video on YT about psychopaths. It's GENETIC, pure biology. Sociopathy is caused by difficulty in childhood.
