As someone diagnosed with ASPD, this is no different, than all the other "comparison" vids... Personally I have less than 5 people I truly care about. Everyone else, I feel nothing. Sociopaths definitely can have bonds, for me its very limited. Spend most of time by myself. I have for a long time, and I like it that way. If you know, then you know 💯

Plugging a quiz in there and saying it's not for you but for someone you know. Smooth!

I hate how the mainstream media portray psychopath and sociopath

[Daccura]

Funny how everyone here in the comments are suddenly doctors on this topic and know all about it.

Keep it simple!
Psychopaths are born
Sociopaths are made.

IMHO, the biggest difference is their origin. You don't usually become a psychopath, but are born as one, whereas sociopaths are a product of a harmful environment. This would explain why sociopaths are far closer to normal humans in their mind, whereas psychopaths are so detached that they hardly are capable of feeling fear, regret, disgust, shame... And are thus immune to burn-out, depression, and PTSD!

It always bugs me when someone throws around these terms without even knowing what they mean

Sociopath here, we can actually care about you. Do not expect us to care, we will usually won't. But the fact that I adore my girlfriend really tell that we can care of a few ones.
I have some psychopath traits from family genes, my family is filled with psychos, I don't think they understand certain emotions at all.

Be wary of the DSM-5, 3 and 4 seem to be more accurate for many mental health disorders. 5 changed a lot to "not hurt people's feelings"

I was about to say I don't have a lack of empathy but then I realized how I like recently 1 of my close neighbors died and I haven't cared. Plus when either of my grandmothers died I didn't even cry and I just comforted my mom. The only cat of mine that I was remotely sad died was my cat Linnie only because she spent hours with me and I had gotten her when she was a kitten.

Can you do a video on how Politicians and Business Tycoons with respects to how they are Socially Engineered (with positive and negative reinforcement) to to maximize their narcissistic traits in order to obtain more wealth, status, and creditable influence among their audience in social hierarchies?
As well as how this behavior is may be highly contagious and may have many short term and long term effects on the people they inspire or those that imitate their behavior?

Well explained. Having a conscience is often one method to distinguish the two, with psychopaths deemed to be lacking one, whereas sociopaths have one (hence they can display more erratic displays of emotion)

The test only asked about relationships.... and friends both things i dont have let alone care for🤦🏽‍♂️

[weedsmith]

Psychopaths aren't crazy that's what's so dangerous "they know what they are doing

[erismiracle]

Didn’t agree that sociopaths aren’t likely to be murderers. Also when sociopaths go to therapy, they usually get diagnosed with depression instead.

[grmpEqweer]

From what I've read on the subject, I honestly believe it is, at least in part, a neurological difference.

[methodicallymaya]

So many people get this wrong 🤦🏽‍♀️ and as a psych major, IT DRIVES ME CRAZY

[jonathant]

I am a sociopath so I don’t like how they are judging me for it. Some of us sociopaths enjoy the lifestyle change. #SociopathPride

[claudiap.]

I thought that a sociopath is someone that would see a person get hurt or even killed and don’t feel a thing. But would not want to hurt or kill a person.
On the other hand, a psychopath is someone that not only doesn’t care for the suffering of others, but enjoys seeing people suffer. So, they would hurt or kill.

[Talkinglife]

A sociopath may be someone who only makes minor transgressions that don't cause serious harm or distress
