Показать описание
Many people use the terms sociopathy and psychopathy interchangeably, but they have different meanings. “Sociopath” is an unofficial term to describe a person who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), whereas psychopathy describes a set of personality traits. However, ASPD and psychopathy can overlap. Learn about the differences in this video.

Remember that this video is not made to attack anyone who may display these signs or anyone diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, but rather to understand and bring more awareness to the topic! This video is also for informative purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.

Psychopaths are almost emotionally dead. They are fearless. Sociopaths get angry and stressed out very easily.

The sociopath growing leaves on his head like the other characters, while the psychopath wears the leaves in a necklace, is a good detail.

A sociopath can have some empathy but only for close family and friends while a psychopath has no empathy for others even family .

I always thought they were both just emotionless people, but one is cold and calculative, the other just can't control it. Thanks

a sociopath seems like a tortured, misunderstood hero who was forced to become the villian by their circumstances.
while a psychopath is the perfect, caluclative villian.

I really like the character design for the sociopath and the psychopath, also the topic is very interesting

So...
Basically one is hot headed, but wears a heart on there sleeve.
While the other one is cool and calculated, but bears a heart of stone?

I feel very weird right now. Because I have always been subconsciously aware of me being fundamentally different than your every day person, but watching this video has shined more light on my tendencies and have made me become more aware. When comparing myself to both of sociopaths and psychopaths tendencies I have found myself in the middle of both of them every single time, and I can relate to everything you said. One thing that I didn't end up in the middle of was how I came to be this way. I believe that it comes from genetics because I have always had a stable life

3. 2:26 Sociopaths are generally a product of their environment while psychopaths are born
4. 2:57 Sociopaths can feel empathy in certain situations while psychopaths cannot
5. 3:27 Sociopaths tend to be unstable while psychopaths are "stable"

I used to tell them apart simply by their names - sociopathy develops because of social reasons while a psychopath is born with a condition regarding their psyche, it’s actually in the name

This was actually very useful to tell the two ASPD conditions apart. Ty.

To sum up, psychopaths hate you but pretend to like you while sociopaths are more like “I hate you and I want you to know it.”

01:00 is what A LOT of people need to hear. I keep hearing so many people calling themselves Antisocial just because they don't like being around people. They might be Asocial...
