🤔Only 1–4% of the population is diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder. But how many traits do you have?

"You shouldn't act like a video is a diagnosis. This isn't tiktok."

Absolutely savage line 😂😂😂

[Flamsterette]

Not liking small talk doesn't make you a sociopath, . Lying to get out of plans doesn't make you one, either.

This video reminded me of similiar topic i read in the book Exquisite Psychopath, it was one of really eye opening moments for me

[MStall]

I wonder how many people will see this and self-diagnose.

Why did you open the video, do you have doubts 💀

I was diagnosed in 2019 with ASPD.
I'm irritable, I've shown a pattern of repeated criminality throughout my lifetime, I've been prone to impulsive and self destructive behavior, and my ability to empathize with others is VERY limited.
It doesn't mean I'm a "criminal", just not strictly law abiding...

[MikeLaRock]

So like 90% of the people I deal with everyday are sociopaths. Makes sense

[Grassland-ixmu]

Thank's for explaining that empathy and sympathy is two different concepts. Many people use empathy to mean sympathy

Nearly everybody exhibits sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies, it’s pretty normal. A total lack of empathy and a lack of self preservation is the kicker.

The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" are often thrown around far too often and frivolously nowadays, and most people use them interchangeably without having the slightest clue as to the difference or what they actually mean. The main differences between a "sociopath" and "psychopath" can be boiled down to three main areas: intelligence, emotional range and capacity for empathy, and impulse control.

Psychopaths are often highly intelligent, cold, calculating, and manipulative, and they are typically highly machiavellian. They view human beings more as objects to be used to their own ends and as they see fit, and they often excel at blending in to everyday society via "emotional masking". It's not necessarily that they choose to ignore their conscience but that they simply lack the ability to empathize with others. They are always extreme textbook narcissists, and they view themselves in a manner that places them above laws and societal rules. They think that rules don't apply to them because they are better than everyone else. On the other hand, sociopaths tend to be less intelligent, often underprivileged, lacking in self-control, and may possess low self-esteem/self-worth. Their decisions are highly reactionary and emotionally driven, and their actions are dictated by impulse rather than reason. Sociopaths often possess the capacity for empathy and other emotions, but they are more selective as to how they are applied, and oftentimes, they simply choose to ignore their conscience rather than lacking a moral compass entirely. For example, a sociopath may consider animal abuse to be abhorrent and will ferociously protect people who are close to them, but then turn around and victimize a total stranger if it serves to benefit them in some way. This wouldn't be the case for psychopaths who feel no remorse or empathy whatsoever, nor do they have any regard for anyone or anything other than themselves. Sociopaths also struggle to blend in to society and tend to be more ostracized by others because of their behavior, and their actions often place them chronically at the mercy of the criminal justice system, while psychopaths may go most of, if not their entire lives without ever presenting any indications as to their true nature while living mostly deliberately solitary lives. Any human interaction or connection is purely a means to an end for a psychopath.

I suppose the difference could be summed up as follows: Psychopaths typically don't understand why their actions are wrong, but they do it in order to get what they want. Sociopaths typically do understand that what they do is wrong, but they do it anyway. This is an extremely reductive oversimplification that isn't universally accurate, but I think it gets the point across on a basic level...

Psychopaths also have no guilt or remorse. They can't even relate to another person's suffering. Some act like they have sympathy or empathy, but they actually don't relate.

I don't think anyone would suspect me of having ASPD except the people that know me really well. Never been diagnosed but I feel like all of my social skills and expressions of emotions are fake. I act appropriately but feel like I'm playing a character at all times to hide the constant rage and irritability.

[FoxInABoxLT]

As someone formally diagnosed with ASPD you really hit every nail on the head here. And yeah relationship-wise it's super rough but, eh, what can I do?

[WOTI]

Yeah I definitely need a psychological evaluation

[dailynews]

Every introvert is sweating hard right now. Lol.

[Seoulmoonrhee]

Everyone is a sociopath, we all just have different levels of masking!

[jayvanwheeler]

I forsure checked off almost all boxes. I’ve been impulsive and lack empathy since childhood. I do blame others for things I could have prevented if I chose to react differently. I get irritated when others have feelings or ideals I don’t agree with. I hate that I’m this way. I hate that I blame my upbringing for the way I think. I want to change and be normal. I want a social life filled with authenticity and love. I gotta get rid of this hate and rage I feel inside

[TheBarcissist]

I was diagnosed 2 years ago for anti social behaviour and a few others. This video is absolutely 💯

Perfect video to show anyone exactly what a sociopath is.

I have met two sociopaths in my life. One worked for an hvac company, and the other was an animation student at a college in Oregon. These people weren't violent at all, just that their energy wasn't comprised of worrying about some nebulous "other" all the time, and that they lacked the ability to "care" about you or feelings or any of the weird vulnerable crap everyone else is encouraged to expose. Matter of fact, I would wager it was a sociopath who first said "nobody is coming to save you", and yet the therapy and self help world would die to preserve that phrase
