We understand empathy just fine, we just don't have it. It's not that we don't recognize other people's emotions, anxiety, etc., it's just that we don't share them viscerally. Our understanding of them is disinterested and clinical. We still have access to all our rational faculties when we process that kind of information (like danger) which is why we don't panic and can stay clear headed.

Brain is such an interesting and complex thing. People use it every day and they may not even be aware of all the processes going on in their brain.

Fake emotion and empathy helps you go undetected

You forgot to mention that ‘we’ feel the need to feed the Emptiness inside us… that’s the only Thing we feel most. The Emptiness.

I like it when people point out that not all of them are murderers, there is such a stigma towards psychopaths. We can't treat people like monsters when they did not choose to be born different. Temple Grandin says "The world need all kind of minds" and I agree, the example of the surgeon was a good one. We can all be useful, and there is bad people even among those that are considered "normal".

I am a recovering Psychopathic predator. I was one of the worst. No guilt or remorse combined with pornography resulted in 30 years of countless people I hurt. When I think about it, its like im watching a movie because I dont want to believe thats its real but it is. It all changed after my girlfriend died. One day I took flowers to her grave and while sitting there with her I realized that the pain I felt from loosing her was exactly the same pain I caused so many others. Since then I attend church regularly and gave my life to God.

great work and amazing video. psychopaths walk among us, talk like us, act like us and not all psychopaths are murders, they truly know how to blend in

[Stiingrey]

Im glad u point out that they don't get empathy....or recognize the facial expressions.

I currently live with my ex who I was able to test using the Hare's diagnostic tool; it was like a Tetris moment finally everything I've been experiencing and dealing with for 30 years made sense...I wish I'd had access to life-saving knowledge like this in my formative years as forewarned is fore armed.

i've learned from Robert Greene that in order to defend yourself and truly live a fulfilling life, you almost have to be a psychopath. Even Batman had to become the thing he feared most

[RaiderCat]

I don’t like noticing that I fit in about 80% of the boxes in the checklist and knowing that no doctor ever diagnosed me as a psychopath.

[beautyschooldropout]

I scored myself as a 24 on the psychopathy checklist. Maybe I should look at getting a diagnosis.

Top quality videos my guy, solid information presented cleanly in a very impressive manner.

Your videos are really great i wonder why YouTube is not showing them in recommendation

[dr.paulwilliam]

Mother-in-law was a goddamn psychopath. Never cared about others, only about herself, and very violent towards my wife in her childhood. Totally fits the bad type…

[mayatudose]

Colorful emotional people who look through the spectrums and involve others are the danger
