"Normal people don't manipulate their friends."
That's a very, very bold claim.
No
Normal people can't tell they're being manipulated.
@@colonelchestbridge7866 ignorant people refuse to believe their friend or a pretty face would do that. It's called denial
There are no such thing as normal people by now, in terms of anti-social behavior. Most people are on the negative end of the spectrum. Its the end of " humanity", also litteraly
Yeah, this idea that everyone is perfect and anyone who isnt is a mental defect is ridiculous
The 10 Signs:
1) Polarizing Language
2) Forced Gratitude
3) Proximal Fear
4) Unorthodox Behavior
5) Targets of Blame
6) Intentional Tardiness
7) Deceptive Identities
8) Destructive Risks
9) Manipulative Jobs
10) Malicious Grudges
What to do if my cousin’s kid is sociopath?
This is literally the agenda of Fox news network...
you just described my ex.
@@bigfootisreal11 kill it with fire 🔥
@@olgaknowsbestofficial would that not be sociopath /w bpd traits.
My biological father and sister are sociopaths with diagnosed mental illness. No matter what happens, they NEVER apologize and actually enjoy hurting people. I recommend everyone read the book "Surrounded by Psychopaths" by Tomas Erikson (I realize that's a subtle, but important difference between socio and psychopaths).
Thanks for the book tip! I’ll check into it!! :)
Soooo sad!!! My audio library doesn’t have it. Oh well!!! Take care!!
@@melodythemassagetherapist6957 Audible does lol
@@thebandit3055 thanks!! Very good point! I actually am trying to stay away from the monthly charge part. One of my clients has written a book that is on Audible!! And I haven’t taken the plunge to go there!! Just one more thing that is automatically deducted from my checking account makes me sad/anxious about how much money is flowing out. So, for now, I’ll just stick with the free audible at the library. Have a happy day! :)
what's the difference?
I’ve had a friend that did most of these…the intentional tardiness was a common one. Every single time she was 15 minutes late and casually strolled in. Every single time lol She also criticized me, and I always felt horrible after hanging out. I ended the friendship and I felt better almost immediately
The intentional tardiness is one of the most crazy making behaviors. Also having an appointment at a particular place and then they are somewhere else.
To the self centered, selfish and narcissistic sociopath those around them are:
1. Assets
2. Audience
3. Unimportant collateral damage
You are best served by remaining unimportant. Those who were once asset or audience that have been depleted or no longer serve to glorify them must, in their mind, be completely destroyed.
Yes my biological mother is a sociopath and meth addict. She gave me up for adoption at 9 months old and I made the HUGE mistake of finding her when I was 16/17. She is a chaotic, horrific selfish MESS! It doesn’t help that both she and her loser husband are meth addicts and gambling addicts. She pops in and out my my life expecting me to just take her 💩 and I finally cut them off indefinitely! I told her we do not have a relationship and she’s dead to me. I will forgive and pray for her, but just because she birthed me 42 years ago does NOT mean she has any “rights” to me! Plus, it was a closed adoption so she’s not even on the birth certificate! Sociopaths only see others as an item to be used and discarded! NEVER putting up with it again!
Donald Trump fits that to a T
Sounds like my ex
🎯
This is the best video I've seen on this topic. I knew a guy with literally everyone of these traits. It's confusing dealing with them initially because it's hard to believe people like this exist.
Donald Trump is a prime example of a sociopath.
That part, they are evil!
Same with me lol... Actually I noticed it on him and felt uncomfortable with him. But I need to understand him since I know all along what he really is (he has seizures so that may be another reason why he is like that... Tho I can't also leave him alone)
#1 pathological lying 2. The love bombing 3. The sadism. 4. The word salads 5. The desire for adulation for insignificant things 6 blaming others 7 grandiosity 8 cold and callousness 9 greediness 10. Selfishness …….I dated a psychopath unknowingly
Yes! Thank you for adding this list! My daughter told me she thinks the person I'm involved with is psychopathic. I didn't want to believe it but there's no way around it; he does display all of these traits.... every single one- it's uncanny! He's done nothing but damage to me , my relationships & my reputation. He has been an absolute nightmare!! We live together & that complicates things but I now know I need to find a way to get away from him!
@@cheriebebexoxo hope you get away from him
@@cheriebebexoxo truly GET OUT!!!
@@cheriebebexoxo please remove yourself if you can. I know it's not easy. I married one not knowing. 25 yrs later after so much destruction and pain I have finally left. Relationships ruined, everything above is my husband. I thought I was going crazy, it's it's nightmare and they are so clever with the love bombs that it draws you back. Be careful and don't be deceived. My suggestion read Gavin de Becker's book 'The gift of fear'. This book has been instrumental in helping me sever ties. I'm not mad afterall. God bless you Sherrie.
My ex was on the list as well… when he was mad at me randomly, I gave him total silent treatments… he acted like nothing s wrong next min as always, I quietly disappeared and blocked him. It s long distance, and I was just moved, so that my case was relatively easy and safe, and he knows me who are stubborn to change when made up my mind
I feel like about 90% of my previous bosses/supervisors have fallen into every one of these descriptors. Is that normal?
It's very easy to climb the corporate ladder when you don't care about others and are willing to do whatever it takes. Smear campaigns for competition. Kissing ass. Mimicking the current boss to appear likeable and similar. Showing leadership and risk taking.
We (Psychopaths not sociopaths) make up something like 15-20% of CEOs.
We also make up something like 15-25% of incarcerated individuals.
Depends on the paths we choose. We are, after all, individuals. Intelligence and upbringing have a huge impact. Just as they do with neurotypicals.
Cheers.
Me too. My managers were often like that
@Gurkirth Johal Yes, which explains why almost all politicians act this way.
Only if you worked for awesome people...
It’s a proven statistic that many people who are CEO’s or bigger higher ups in business are this or narcissistic. But that’s not everyone of course
I thought my ex was a narcissist but now I'm figuring that he's actually a sociopath.
Oh well, hopefully the result is the same because you would have severed all ties with him & have gone no contact when you suspected his narcissism.
Best thing to handle people with Anti-social personality disorder is to break off all contact and relationship. Don't fight them or seek revenge as they thoroughly enjoy the conflict.
Sociopaths are narcissists too
I hope it's not yourself
I was like you I just found out my was one
Just got out if a relationship like this. I called the girl out on all her demons and manipulation tactics, and once i did that she broke up with me. I think its because she knows that now im onto her tricks, and i could no longer be manipulated like she would like to. Relationship was only a couple months thank god not any longer.
Something similar to this happened to me. I got into a debate with my most recent ex girlfriend about how men aren’t cared about and treated with triviality by society, how easily women come into success using nudity, and how I am displeased of women who assert dominance and want to wear the pants in their relationships.
During this little debate she insulted my intelligence by saying everything I said sounded like something off of a Reddit post that she saw and that I was way off on what I was saying and then said I was on my little “rant”.
Now keep in mind that this girl’s personality was supposedly made up of “innocence”, shyness, timidness, and kind of introverted, but when I said all those things she came out of her comfort zone instantly and wasn’t hesitant to reveal her condescending nature and aim to make me feel inferior while indirectly calling me stupid. It was like she turned into another person, but then I just realized it was her true personality showing.
She had a very strong “kill all men” aura radiating off her within the whole 3 hours we debated about men and women. She initiated a breakup the following week or the week after which happened to be exactly on New Year’s Day and had the nerve to suggest we just be friends because “it just isn’t working” and “we have nothing in common“.
We dated for 4 and a half months and that was plenty of time for her to realize it wasn’t working and stop it in its tracks. I hit a sore spot during that debate and she secretly took it personally and basically had it made up in her mind from that point forward that the relationship was done.
She hinted at this by asking me repetitive questions of what would happen and what would I say if we broke up which was literally 2 weeks prior to when we actually did. 😂😂
If they feel or know you’ve caught on to their tricks or if you simply call them out intentionally or unintentionally they’ll dispose of you immediately.
Man i knew that chick was crazy when i met her and she proved it over n over
🤣🤣🤣
@Just Me honestly i still deal with mine too but we're not together so things run a lot smoother. And when it does get rough i ignore her a few days and she comes back trying to make up for the bs that got me upset in the 1st place. Then were good til we fall out again . its a cycle now but i learned to detach emotionally. Thats the only way to deal with unemotional ppl
@@splenoowave I did a lot and took advantage of people for my own gains, felt bad about it later but it was great tbh. I manipulated a lot as well but eh, a lot of people do nowadays. So if you deal with people who are like me while being a little sadistic, you already know what you're dealing with.
@@hunt7533 if you felt bad about it in the first place, you most likely aren’t a sociopath. people without aspd manipulate and exploit others, but that doesn’t mean they are a sociopath; sadism also doesn’t make you one as well.
Same
Just keep your distance if you meet a sociopath. Ignore them. 👍
No, not all are dangerous
It’s all about boundaries
@@joncotn It all about boundaries regardless of if the are psychopath sociopath or not.90%of the world is selfish ,self centered and Has little regard for others.
“Keep your distance.” dude I'm stuck in this shit for the rest of my life.
Where not all like this, videos like this stigmatize even more when the media does it already enough
#10 malicious grudges spoke to me. I don’t even recognize the sister I thought I knew. I always knew she was about power, but she’s so damn charming. Her 100% silence for a year ( and most likely permanent) is insane. Who won’t talk through a issue, make up - somehow?!
She’s either a sociopath or has Narcissistic PD…or both. See what the trauma that is rained down upon children in abusive homes does? We, like many others, never stood a chance at having something resembling a stable life. Thanks for this video.🌿
I'm in the same position. For reasons unknown my sister hasn't spoken to me in nine months. My mother was the champion dispenser of the silent treatment so my sister is carrying on the tradition. Covert narcissism at its finest.
If you are reading this, remember you at the most important person in the world. Follow your dreams and get away from this kind of people!!!! Your well being is more important always
your psychopath lol
Not all sociopaths are like this I hate this I have aspd (sociopath) I struggle with empathy but I want to understand it so I chose to be kind. I believe in compassion
What if you ARE this kind of person lol
@@ameenapatel5319 admitting ur a sociopath is like admitting ur a murderer
@@Friza. what the heck how is it? If you admit your a psychopath that’s different. However sociopaths have feelings do your research, I’ve had depression before. When my mother died I was devastated. Sociopathy doesn’t make you emotionless I hate stereo types like your self. However I feel sorry for people like you because you wouldn’t understand unless you have it. You just believe everything you see
Many sociopaths in the workplace! Understood that everyone is unique. If can't change yourself or the others, just keep as minimal contact as possible to these guys, you'll not be emotionally affected so easily🍀
I can’t deal with Manipulative people 😡JUST NO 👎 trying to tell you what to do. Telling you to Obey. Hell-No 😩. They give you hard time.
I just ignore those people
True
I would make you think you came up the the idea and would never directly tell you what to do.
Thank you for this edition's sociopath training! Appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. I now understand the behaviour of certain co-workers and bosses and relatives. Essentially a sociopath is the type of person who ENJOYS and receives power from hurting people. They don't change and you can't talk to them. If you talk to them and tell them how their bad behaviour hurt you etc. they will either ridicule, dismiss or call you weak. The best thing to do is let them be, as the video says don't react when they try and provoke you and have as little to do with them as possible.
My wife and I have been targeted by sociopath narcissist's. As you stated, those who work in law as well as other positions of authority have a problem with such behavior. I've made the mistake of trying to defend myself and my wife to people they've gaslighted us to: Sometimes, you have no choice, if you want to be able to go anywhere in peace. We're learning how to deal with people who have such characters. Thank you for your video.
Wow. This is my older sister. I am almost 30 and only now am i able to make sense of the constant torture my life has been. Great video. Thank you for sharing, its honestly life affirming.
Same, also older sister. I'm 28 now. Feels weird it took me this long.
Sounds like my first husband. No wonder I was exhausted after 5 years of marriage. It took me years to recover from his gas lighting. His constant roller coaster demands. He denied any wrong doing. It was always my fault.
A manager I worked under was a full blown sociopath she ticked all the 10 traits in this video. When I commenced employment she love bombed me with all the favours and went out of her way to impress me with her contacts even after I insisted I can manage on my own but she made it out to be her generosity. I knew this was going to cost me but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then I began seeing the cracks and the mask slipped down and the tyrannical rage would blow up over insignificant everyday things. I quickly noticed I was targeted and everything I said and anything I did that can be misconstrued and weaponised was trumped up 10 fold. I could feel the case was being compiled against me very minor things but when it was compiled meticulously dated and recorded I knew the axe is going to fall at anytime and true to this video the sociopath came down on me in a maniacal rage cursing and accusing and attacked of a personal nature. I reported the crazy bitch but she got her lies and coerced her 2CO to lie to collaborate their story and management toon her side. I was probably the 100th staff member that she has forced out of a job. More deceitful than a shithouse rat
Companies are told to hire these type of people because they're so power hungry, that they will ensure all rules are followed and will try to manipulate employees into revealing personal information. You have to always remember these people were promoted for a reason. They enjoy being hated by other people.
My friend is a sociopath, but he told me I'm one of the few people he feels empathy towards and apologized (or at least tried to lol)
Yeah... He's lying to you mate.
Sociopath have empathy there limited
Everyone is a sociopath.
Hes lying to you lol
@@matteofontes I'm not a sociopath
Great video! They like to belittle others to make themselves look and feel good. I want people to know you're good enough in the world. This video was helpful. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Nope that sounds like a narcist. Its not for validation for most sociopaths, they couldn't care less what you think of them unless they are using you, otherwise your life and existence is meaningless. It is purely for amusement or because I, I mean they want something, but flattery is normally more efficient anyway.
Thank You for this highly educational and informative video
The first sign I had before I knew anything about class B and dark triad traits was I thought the person was paranoid and obsessive. She kept asking me questions and saying we're so alike even though we were completely different. She told me her husband cheated on her then tried to get me to be mean to him. Then she was trying to get me to hate two of my friends. These were all red flags. People have the right to be angry at other people but nobody should make you feel you need to hate anyone for them.
Wow, thats great you were able to see what she was doing. My sister did this to my friends and they went along with what my sister said, then started ignoring me. It's good to see that not everyone is that easily led
@@neena9202 I wish I knew what it meant before I was attacked for a year and a half but I’m glad I know now.
Love how he points out the exact same symptoms for every sign
This is a great video! Easy to understand and relate to situations!
These videos are brilliant well researched. This creator did one on 7 signs your dealing with an evil person. Best CZcams videos for these subjects in my opinion and straight to the point, plus excellent delivery. Great job here absolutely love it ❤️
Crazy!!! Thanks for the traits of a sociopath. Good to know!
I have met at least 2 people that qualifies to all these criteria. Honestly they did a lot of damage on me, fortunately I am now capable of discerning these type of people and I had learned it in a hard way.
Can this be treated?
@@bigfootisreal11 Treated? You mean Sociopathy? I'm not sure, some people who develops sociopathy as they grew up or as a result of negative experiences, bad influence, and toxic environment. If the sociopath is willing enough to change, it's possible to improve his/her condition. Sociopathy is more like a mindset or personality that is hard to change. Psychopathy on the other hand is not curable, psycopaths are born with little to no empathy and cannot relate on people's emotions, they are born with. Between Sociopathy and Psychopathy, I believe Sociopathy is more curable or at the very least manageable.
@@alexanderliew3415 If a kid from an early age gets a cat and the cat hisses at the kid, and it continues to age 13, then stops a bit but has empathy for human beings, does that make the kid sociopath? Because I don’t think so
@@bigfootisreal11 I don't understand what you're talking about. All I know is Sociopathy is more like a personality or attitude. There's no evidence suggesting that it's not curable.
@@alexanderliew3415 All Im asking u, if that kid is a sociopath? By it’s behaviour
Thank you...I am understanding more.
Great resource guide!
The perfect sociopath ..can't agree more! :-
1) too self absorbed of himself as if he's the only thing that matters
2) Arrogant
3) use religion to manipulate others to believe that he's sure a good person
4) use his post to fulfill his needs
5) financially calculative only if his money is used Not the other way round
6) rules are meant for others BUT him
7) No reciprocity in good deeds. For him, others must serve him because he deserves it but other people don't deserve anything
8) His kids and wife are his tools not people he supposed to love
9) Rarely say thanks
10) Rarely helps with chores even though he's not the sole bread winner
11) Never appreciate others' good deeds
12) When he clearly makes mistakes eg. Not flushing the toilet..and you point it out to him, he snaps and says it's your mistake that you didn't help flushing it for him..yikesss!
13) He 100% loves the attention given to him
14) He speaks loudly of his glory and makes you feel small
15) with him..you lost your identity
Yes, it's true about the reactions..they want you to get mad so bad or they will keep on doing things to try to make you feel defeated/sad..
Good video❤
This channel is the main motivation behind my CZcams CHANNEL. Thanks Topthink
Should’ve capitalized MY instead of “CZcams CHANNEL.” It emphasizes your main point better
Thank you!!🤩
I feel like the focus on this video is on anger and outburst. I've seen many sociopath who play mind games, manipuloate and gas light for fun. They trigger their victims until they get angry. Those people rarely lose their temper, they are calm and collective and the most dangeorus because they are not obvious.
To a degree, you are describing humanity 🙃
I don't think so.
Forgive, expose, let go. Works for every type of psychotic enmities, and gives them the chance to understand and get help.
Sooo, most people are sociopaths then? Most people seem to fall into most of these.
Did u change the title from "10 Signs You’re Dealing with a Psychopath" to "10 Signs You’re Dealing with a Sociopath" ???..coz I saw that notification with the former as title days before....🤔🤔🤔🤔
Actions speak louder than words. Fight or freeze = Fight or surrender.
You could be running away repeatedly . Because a sociopath or several of them stalk you , hack you or try to control you & do not give up. Hostage crisis occurs , when one sociopath is attacking the other & you have no agency.
Take solace in this aspect of it- they can and will turn on each other if one goes of course or does something to upset or makes life choices one doesn’t like.
They will talk sh!te ,interfere and turn on their own brigade of minions.
Or co conspirators tire of doing biddings in favor of their own lives and time.Their deeds - word gets around.
Controlling everything,everyone ,every situation eventually takes its toll.
It may take much time to see those results but those ARE the eventual results…..
Dam, Imagine Living With A Mother Like This, Always Goes From Positive To Negative And Back And Its A Constant Nightmare, Even Asking For A Basic Change To Buy Something, Waiting For A Yes And No Answer, She Erupts Like A Volcano And Blames Me For Everything, Its Constant, Constant Nightmare, Luckily, Father In Heaven Keeps Me Well, Thanks Father Jehova
A person doesn't want to socialize so they have to be bad, enjoy hurting others and choose victims. 🤣.. Some people just like being alone because very few others bring value
I worked as a legal assistant for a few years and it convinced me not to go to law school. I wanted no part of the manipulative nature of the business.
Same
What kind of job positions that you found is suiting
Some of these traits sound like those of some of my former co-workers.
I think you might be confusing psychopaths with sociopaths.
I’ve watched videos they say sociopaths aren’t as often successful at getting into management positions in law and sales and stuff cos they are more reckless than a psychopath and not as calm under stress
great training to being a tech support person is to have to deal with these people .
Thumbs 👍 Great Video Just Subscribed, I've been looking into this lately to be able to identify the people around me, like friends , family members and specially my partner, my woman, she has so many of these traits my eyes are open I am studying her all my suspicions bring me closer to think she may be a Sociopath, hummmm ....
I had a friend who was a lot like this. She was soooo nice sometimes but than the next day she was soooo mean! Also she was manipulative and narcissistic.
I’m late often & I don’t care anymore🤷🏻♀️ but that’s because as a child, my mom often made me late for things, I have adhd, I’m a creative who has a hard time keeping track of time & haven’t figured out how to be on time. Some people say it’s selfishness, but I believe selfishness is a decision. I’m worried so much about being late that it actually made things worse. In fact the less I worry about it, the better I’m getting at being on time. People shouldn’t take it personally...it’s not their problem. It’s mine.
It’s called discipline
The fact you’re aware of all your issues is the difference with you and a sociopath, keep the chin up and work on improving these qualities everyday.
Only reason you are late is you don't give a shit about people waiting for you..
& Whys That , Do You Always End Up Doing Stuff At The Last Minute ??
You acknowledge your lateness. The sociopath I know feels no remorse and actually gets a thrill out of being late and having others wait on them.
With what software do you make your videos?
My old business partner was a sociopath. We got along very well before I decided to invest into his business which I was working for him beforehand. Once I invested and we had launched the business and had employees. Everything about him changed and he turned into a totally different person. Often making me feel very bad. I was able to get out of it. I had to learn that I was being gas lit so I learned grey rocking and was able to gain some of my self esteem back long enough to gather up about half of my total investment and I walked away from that business. I’ve always been very keen on reading people and in hindsight I should’ve realized his negative characteristics before going into business with him. But that year had taught me a lot.
I am a diagnosed sociopath and I went into veterinary medicine because I can’t relate to humans but I can with animals
Tony soprano is that you?
I've been in a relationship with one for almost 13 years. Didn't realize it until recently. Thought I was the crazy one the whole time. We have an eleven year old daughter too. Everyday I just get more drained and now I'm to the point of just wanting to give up completely. Don't know what to do anymore. I have no friends or family anymore because of him. He's taken everything from me.
Keep staying strong. You can get out. You are more brave then you realize!
My friends are like this all the time. What are the odds of all my friends being sociopaths?
Yup, he checks every box ☑️
This portrays a primarily negative outlook on being a sociopath. Not all sociopaths enjoy hurting others or choose to. Not every sociopath is a monster, and it does not mean that they and or you cannot have a meaningful safe and loving relationship with one. Its all about choice. Just like with regular people. Sometimes you can get hurt by someone who is not a sociopath who just doesn't care.
I guess what im trying to say is keep an open mind.
And that’s what they capitalize on.
@@nathanrhoades7161 well just f us then right? Some of us work really hard to make the "right" choices and be good to the people in our lives. 🥺💀
I dont feel like its fair to capitalize on the pit falls or worst case scenario of someones disorder. It might be popular to make us out to be complete worthless monsters but at the end of the day it all comes down to someones choices. So whos the real monster...the people who struggle with a disorder, or the people who exploit that disorder for their own gian?
@@tiffanywhite2121 well having APD myself , I was coming from personal experience when saying , if someone were to have the beret of the doubt with me, my first thought would be to take advantage of that flexibilitly. I didn’t mean every sociopath will do this, it’s just the sociopath within me recognizing what I would do. And if I’d do it, so would many others. But not everyone of course. Props to you for treating ppl with kindness and respect Tiffany.
@@nathanrhoades7161 well let this video be about you but to lump us all together is bs on their part. Treating others with dignity is not directly about them. The interactions and relationships we have with them are a direct reflection of us. If someone came by questioning your family and friends about your character you would want them to say "they are the most wonderful person ever there is no way" people will also see value in continuing relationships with you if you act like a model person which long term is a way more valuable layer. These petty mindless short sighted self controless mosters they make us out to be to sell a few books or videos is nothing like all of us.
This video don’t make the sociopath out to be as bad as they actually are my mother is a sociopath and they can give u a real head trip and actually make u question your own sanity
Not all sociopaths are bad people and not all bad people are sociopaths. Its a choice. I choose to bring my family up, and keep them happy, loved, and safe. Just because I dont experience feelings the same way as most doesnt mean that Im destined to be bad. Stereotypes like this hinder hurt and isolate us. Not every priest assaults kids, and not every firefighter is a safe bet. Im sorry you had a bad experience but if you were my family I never would have treated you that way. 🙍♀️
This makes me think about who really is who and who is not, the human mind has such a wide range of difference I mean really who are we, think twice or thrice

My co-manager is a sociopath and it makes him very difficult to work with at times. You tip-toe with every decision you make around them because you can just sense a sociopath critiquing your every move. I'll never let him push me around and I will always stand my ground because he knows he has no power over me and I've always stood my ground, but it makes going to work mentally draining some days.
You rarely hear a sociopath say a kind word, and when you do, you question its integrity.
Thank you.
For #9 Manipulative Position, does 'Law' refer to lawyers and the judiciary, or to legal enforcement, or both?
Not necessarily, they could be ur boss and the like. And that's how they are able to manipulate
Both . I’ve experienced it personally by both . And my odds as a finance major , against a narc w socio tendency and later learned grand theft tendencies against people who wouldn’t prosecute him , I thought were slim. .00001%. Unbelievable and still have ptsd from it .
Gotta protect our energies from these types of people.
U can say that again!
You sound like my mom lol (that isn’t an insult btw I just noticed)
Y’ all can’t understand. Not all of them are like this. Topthink must explain in other video the good things, there are socioph who haven’t transtorno
Well said
@@Bibi-hn6gc well the sociopath i know had emotionally wounded me. The good ones your talking abt have gotten help and probably open about their ordeals, so people know how to deal with them. The socipath i knew well knew he is a sociopath by asking me one day if i know the difference between a psycho and Sociopath just to see where ny head was at, then he will find things to talk abt so i can challenge him then emotionally wounded me and embarrasse me in front of our colleagues.
Ps : thats how i learn about them cause they always tell on their self
This is my superior at work.
Well, I understand my old boss a little better now.
Aight im visiting the doc .
So i was recognized as a sociopath and yeah sure most of what you said is true but i do have some I considered as friends and i have hurt and beat (verbally and physically ) people because they were rude
Is it treatable? I think it is
Don’t react that way to rudeness. Try anger management. Rude people will always exist. You can rise above it.
every single one of my middle school teachers fits into a few of these
I can confirm these are mostly right but being perceived as a being other than a human is really quite rude, although refreshing.
But heres the confusing part- doesnt everyone have a little bit of this? Grudge holding, blame, using someone to get something out of it? Ive literally never met a person who didnt do this to some degree. Thoughts?
Agree
It’s a spectrum
I have all these besides the purposeful tardiness. I don’t like being late.
How do you feel after watching this if you think you are a sociopath?
Or you going to even try to change after this?
Same here, its not beneficial or logical to be late.
@@lightbeaming It tells me just how gullible and out of touch most people are. A true sociopath that outwardly exhibits these behaviors is a bad sociopath and most likely has criminal record. You would never discover a high functioning sociopath unless they told you. If you found out on your own and provoked them, that could be very dangerous for you.
30yrs and I'm now knowing this 😢
I think I’ve had several friends that fits this description. I’m no longer friends with them.
Makes a lot of sense now - what I had been dealing with - with one or two romantic x-partners and one or two x-managers. But - I also see that sometimes we act in ways that may be interpreted likewise but it's not necessarily true as a behavior of that person. So, only repeated behavior over multiple occasions and without regret - seems to be appropriate to classify a person as one or another. If it's one or two times of a knee-jerk reaction of a behavior - then it's probably lack of some coping skill that one is tending to react likewise and could be trained to behave differently instead.
I think it’s important to remember just like any mental illness being a sociopath is a spectrum some people are worse then others and you shouldn’t fear or hate anyone for being something they literally can’t control it’s the actions they take that they should be judge for
This video is painting a mental illness in black and white and is making massive assumptions
They are not mental ill, they have a personality disorder - that's a diferent thing.
Ok - it's a spectrum + some are more bad than others - agrre at that point -that also means a spectrum from bad to more bad - there's no good on that spectrum.
That they can't change the way that they are don't mean that you should not fear them.
A healthy fear helps to survive.
I don't hate the crocodile - I akcept it for what it is - know that it can't act like a rabit - just have enough fear to ceep enough distance.
@@katarinatibai8396 Sociopaths usually play the victim card. When confronted on why they are the way they are, they blame someone else. But in reality they should take responsibility for their actions
I'm not sure it matters weather they can control it or not, it doesn't change how dangerous they are. Sort of like a crocodile, it's not its fault that it's a massive prehistoric apex predator but it doesn't change the fact that if you want to continue with your happy life you better stay as far away from it as possible.

Derrick Harvey Tolson is exactly this. Also child molestation convictions.
My sister in-law is a sociopath. Totally turned my brother against my sister and I… and he knows it. I miss my brother and nephews 😔
I realized and I'm relieved, my best friend is not a sociopath 😇
Sounds like a teach talking about a bully and what to do about it
im a sociopath but only my family and my bf know almost everyone thinks im the nicest person alive
So do you control it or take it out on family?
My sister's ex was a psychopath. He was very scary to deal with, like a mean dog you weren't should would bite you or not.
Wish I had seen this before I married him
Finally opened up about his abuse. And nobody believes me. Bc they all love him. He’s charming. I had to let my mom hear the recordings of him screaming at me & saying it was ok bc I made him feel bad.. then she finally believed me.
He has so many victims he has destroyed. And ppl still feel bad for HIM!
Sometimes I suspect myself to be a sociopath but somewhere within me I feel its just me trying to claim a category for myself. I dunno.
Can someone be both a sociopath and psychopath? My husband also seems to be a narcissist too. He is just plain evil and scary to deal with.
Yes can be for sure if someone can be yandere and Tsundere both So why not psychopath and sociopath? My boyfriend is Both of it
Just watch this video because I remember the term "sociopath" to my friend (well he has the most criteria lol). Well as I observe his personality and the way he is treating me (even though I treat him with much kindness), I become so uncomfortable with him and sometimes I feel like sht. I just need to understand him as also he suffers from seizures so that makes his personality like that.
Sociopath and psychopath are normally narcissist, listen to your intuition and observe not absorb and once you know you go you get out and you stay out,hurt people hurt people. run Forest run 😅.
@5:51 "If you're dealing with a sociopath, don't give up..."?! Maaan, you'd better fuhkin' RUN!! Tf?! 😂
Telling everyone they just meet they are his best or close friend.
Man just told me I’m a sociopath thanks
This seemed really general compared to other sources. A lot of these could be other things misconstrued as sociopathy.
Is it common for sociopaths not to know they’re sociopaths 🤔 or maybe just too prideful to ever admit it
Wow ! My husband is a Sociopath ! Scary 😟
7:56 As a licensed skydiver....I can say that there's little to no benefit in a sociopath telling others they 'went skydiving'. Most non-skydivers will never make one, and either won't care or won't respond positively. Most skydivers don't care either, lol. It's like if someone just drove a car for the very first time, and then told everyone who has been driving several years.
If you’re worried or nervous about being a psychopath, you’re not a psychopath.
Another field that is high in narcissistic and sociopathic leaders is religion. That is a goldmine for these types of people and have a massive wake of abused victims.
It's simple how too spot them,look at their eyes.
I have a coworker with the symptoms mentioned. She's very manipulative. She's super nice and friendly to others, but very VERY cruel and abusive to me. I suspect her as a person with NPD (the covert one). But after I watch this video, I found out her behaviours are also matched with sociopath. Does NPD similar with sociopath?
Yes they are similar but not the same. Npd ppl want and to impress and want constant attention whereas sociopaths want to exploit ppl and very spiteful. They both lie compulsively, have no feelings or remorse and use ppl. I unluckily dated both types.
You described word for word my ex sister in law and ex
Please open a book on psychology.
Targets of blame could be those they feel inferior too or even superior.
