Your Friendly Successful Psychopath | Dharmendra Rai | TEDxSGGSCC

When most people think of psychopaths they think of Hannibal Lecter or The Joker. These are "bad" "full blown" psychopaths. Psychopathy operates on a scale so there are people that are high on the psychopathy scale who have only the good traits of psychopaths . What are these traits? How can you acquire them? How can you become A Friendly Successful Psychopath?

They thought ppl with psychopathic traits were good for company's but turned out that although they made cutthroat decisions when it came to business they also affected the employees in a massively negative way that was not worth it. He thinks it's cool to be a psychopath so he self diagnosed on a website probably not answering the questions honestly but selectively so that he would be able to brag how much a a good psychopath he is. He is a narcissist that's insecure not a confident psychopath.

0:29 -“Aren’t psychopaths supposed to be bad people”. Can’t that be said of all people. At least that’s what certain religious and legal structures would have you believe.

[jennefercameron]

Don’t psychopaths only do good deeds for something in return? They treat people like business transactions. “I did this for you so now you owe me” mentality. Him even saying “the longer you take to get your “return investment” the value of your good deed you did decreases over time” proves it. That’s manipulative. Psychopaths never do anything just for being nice. Psychopaths only ever do something nice when they want something from you.

Dharmendra Rai - teaching people how to be good psychopaths

[Sironil]

ok, he lost me at the point he said "I am a good psychopath" given the fact that narcissism is a crucial part of psychopathy. to clarify, a narcissist would be expected to say he's the good one. even when the reality is the opposite. that and positive traits of psychopathy are always presented as beneficial in very specific and simplified scenarios. try being a child of not even a full blown psychopath in the real world. little chance you'll become a mentally healthy adult. even if you don't inherit the genes

[samtrader]

I don't think he is a psychopath. He is just a rational person

[alex]

You cant self diagnose yourself as a psychopath, sociopath, or someone having aspd. Especially over a website. It doesn't matter who makes the website, it doesnt take a small portion of a day to be diagnosed. Even professionals can't diagnose someone as a psychopath, sociopath, or someone having aspd or borderline aspd traits in just a day.

They may not kill but they are still dangerous. If you wouldn't want to be married to one then how can you say they are good? Studies show while they initially do good in business they end up harming it in the long run.

[darkanser]

A strenuous mental exercise would be to try to see the world and existence through the eyes of a psychopath. This makes me think of when I first read INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE by Anne Rice. Until that book I realized that every story and myth about vampires that I had been exposed to was written from a victim's and/or human point of view. Anne Rice had created a world through the eyes of vampires. I don't endorse psychopathic behavior but I think I've learned a little on how their minds work.

Well I scored higher than the average on the psychopathy test but yes I agree most psychopaths are successful because they are usually ruthless and cool under pressure unlike the rest

My 5 th TEDx Talk - Your Friendly Successful Psychopath - celebrates its 4 th Anniversary !

[polygloticious]

"Friendly" successful psychopath - that pretty much describes a person with narcissistic personality disorder. I guess that diagnoses doesn't sound cool enough for them.

[buffalosolider]

Embracing chaos is important. I think this is what he means by “wasting food”

[Jack-xbew]

When people see dying people half way across the world on a tv commercial they might say some words to reflect their sadness but thats because of how we have been raised. In our hearts most of us dont care about others wellbeing unless their close. If we did a poll in the UK and asked to choose between having no mobile phones or internet unless strictly for work or saving 1 billion people in a foreign country.. what would the true answer be and not the fake answer we would give in front of others. We are all 2 faced if things were taken into action. We are animals, remember that!

[daveh]

thank you comments below for saying what I was thinking...also, ...the lack of empathy is lethal for a loving relationship.... Dave

[umeshsoman]

Whoa!! Love this amazing provoking and thought provoking video! Dharmendra, you sir, are one of the most amazing speakers I have seen on TEDx 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[Jack-xbew]

Here in England, most people are forced into public education which is basically a cage of distraction and "multitasking". Then they give you homework to do at home every night which is switching constantly. Forced to be non pychopaths by the government cba

[skepshark]

I just want to say that there are som many levels of psychopathy! Some people can have only a few trait but still be psychopathic! So yes, some psychopaths can feel feelings and feel guilt. Just remember, in the end; if you discriminate against a psycho. Your fear may come true. Unemotional people are just as dangerous as emotional ones
