      Exactly same thing happened. I was also gaslighted and at one point I thought I was going crazy. He Jst sucked out all the life and confidence out of me. Plus he gave me the trust issues. It has taken me years to recover. I am still in the process of recovery. My view of relationship changed after being in a relationship wid him for 2 n a half years.
      But breaking up was the best thing that ever happened to me. 😇

    My Ex nearly killed me. My parents and friends tried to help me when I was with him, but he kept pulling me away from everyone and gas lighting me on a daily basis.
    When we finally broke up, my whole life slowly came back together - went back to school, got a job, reunited with friends and my current boyfriend is unlike anything I've ever known. I had no idea that the relationship I was in was bad, I honestly thought that I was the crazy one, and that I deserved the abuse. :/

    I’m actually in a great relationship with a diagnosed sociopath. In the beginning when we were first talking about being together, he didn’t really care to take my feelings into consideration but now that we’ve been officially dating for a bit now he’s really changed. Not only have I noticed but some of the closest people in his life have. He’s honestly the love of my life and we’ve been discussing marriage, so fingers crossed!

    My ex, almost 3 years ago I had my son Axel. During my pregnancy this was literally the relationship. I remember crying in a public bathroom telling a close friend after I had my son I was going to kill myself. My ex mentally, emotionally and physically damaged me. He told my mom and I the pregnancy was a good king of entrapment. When we were alone he constantly told me no one will ever love someone with a child that isn't there's. I'm now both mom and dad, it's really hard. Being so emotionally traumatized, depressed and scared everyday is the hardest thing to live with.

    My ex was like this except he never promised to change his behavior or his ways or anything to keep me, if I said I was tired of something he didn’t care if I tried to show him how he was treating me by saying how would you like it if I talked to other attractive guys or invited men off social media over just because they were hot he said “Go for it, I hope you’re happy with them”. He didn’t see his behavior as cheating but would see it as cheating if I did the exact same thing. He manipulated all facts in his favor. It was completely impossible to get along with him unless I chose to be a doormat that allowed him to do whatever he wanted and walk all over me. He was a huge fault finder and often threw in insults and jabs to make me feel bad about myself. Just a horrible person who sucked me in by love bombing me.

    This is extremely true. My exboyfriend cheated on me more than 2x in our relationship and I somehow found a way to apologize for his actions, any negative feeling he expressed towards me, he would manipulated his words to where I was the one apologizing instead of him. I found myself always wanting to seek his approval. I didn't realize our relationship was a wreck until we broke up.

    This is a little misrepresentative. Sociopaths lack empathy but will still follow social norms. If they see a happy couple doing well they will typically mimic the actions of the couple. Sociopaths also aren't narcissistic. This video isn't describing sociopathy this is describing a bad relationship.

      Christabel marie Actually sociopathy is a personal disorder not a mental illness which is a big difference. The point is - mental illness can be cured or supressed with help of medics and doctors. Its something a person cannot control and mostly doesnt even realize he has it.
      Sociopathy on the other hand cannot be cured or even diagnosed if the sociopath is good actor and lier. Most of sociopaths are also know that they are sociopaths or at least they are different. However they dont mind it in most cases. Unlike mentally ill people, socio can fully control their actions and behavior. They can supress it too, but only if they want.
      See the difference?

    • @brandonlesly5051
      @brandonlesly5051 Před 7 lety +12

      Mimicry usually only goes so far. I was married to a sociopath for seven years (the fact that she was sadistic and a schizophrenic, i.e. saw and heard illusions, only made it worse.) In public, the sociopath may seem like able, fun, and usually very charismatic. In private, eventually it becomes a different story. Once they let down their guard you can see the real disorder at work.
      Also, sociopaths CAN BE narcissistic in the sense that the only one that matters to them is themselves. It doesn't bother them if you're hurt, but apply a little pain or humiliation to them and the difference between right and wrong becomes abundantly clear to them. For this reason, a sociopath will normally lean toward sadism rather than masochism.

      Brodie Hewitt I think that's what I find scary... I fell for someone like that.. very good at acting like a gentleman until years later when I realized he never actually cared about me or a lot of other things... there were definitely red flags but when someone is skilled at blending in and you're naive and/or in love you can miss those red flags...

      Brodie Hewitt i was friends with a sociopath and they suffered from narcissistic personality disorder as well. for others, it might be hard for people to differentiate because a sociopath might do things that can point to them being a narcissist. the two commonly seem to go hand in hand but every case is different.

      Most of these are signs of an abusive partner to be honest. If you read up on it you'll see a lot of these traits are (blaming the other, bartering for control/power, isolating them, especially from friends and family, etc). That doesn't even mean they're a sociopath, just that they're abusive.

    I have come to learn much about myself and who I attract. I learned I was an empath several years ago and at the time I was involved with a high level abusive narcissistic partner. I learned that empaths attract narcissistic ppl and after finally freeing myself from that destructive person, I watch others very carefully and have had to walk away from other potential love interests due to them exhibiting similar characteristics of past partnerships. I have learned it is imperative to implement self care and self love. My childhood was very abusive and the last person I was seriously involved with highlighted those issues derived from my youth. I realized they were highlighting the issues I needed to heal in order to attract the right person for me. I'm still working on cracking the code so to speak, but I know I am better off now vs. my past. Thank you for the information👍💞😁

Such as here, he criticized me in my tastes and habilities, made me feel dumb, always playing the victim, asking my opinion and then make what he wanted, even if it was making me allow things against my will, when I tried to tell him what I was feeling, he'd always say it was my fault, that I was paranoid, etc. And he still is trying to contact me. A nightmare, but well, I won't ever answer.

    Ive been struggling for the past year dealing with a recent attempt at suicide. I was hospitalized and was diagnosed with ptsd, anxiety disorder and major depression. Its truly been a long battle. Especially with personal identification. I met my now gf during my process in the hospital and have learned a lot about who and how i was. Seeing a video like this. Is enlightening in a very heavy manor. I share some very in depth traits with this list and a few other videos ive watched. I understand i cant diagnose myself. But seeing content like this is eye opening. Im an ex gang member. Drug abuser and alcoholic. And struggle with understanding whats right and wrong. And as i further define myself the sense of pride does take over and the need for self gratitude on a grandiose scale is a must. Which then neglects me to others around me. It's videos like this which truly does help in the battle of mental illness. I can now relate myself to a few issues and been having an depth conversation with my gf about how i can use certain traits available from guidelines like this, to further my self healing and goal to identify myself in the future. Being a male and exposed to certain myths and traits the media and society imposes on what should define a man truly contradicted how i should mould myself. Its videos like this and open opinions of peoples past experience and fears that now help me redefine and avoid becoming that fear my gf once lived. Thanks for having info like this readily available and taking your time to educate to the best of your ability. Truly gives me second light on the battle i have amongst my own being in which person i feed to win the fight of self definition. It brings light to the ignorance ive embraced not knowing how or where to talk about my own ilness. Keep up the awesome work.

    Lol here's me sharing my story.
    So, i'm and was a lonely person almost always. I did have alot of friends, but guys? They saw me as their sister, or just somebody accurately ugly to be with. One day, this.. changed. There was this one guy. I'll refer to him as "J" because i dont want to expose anyone. "J" approached me one day as i was crying and hugged me and told me everything was going to be alright. I felt safe. We soon grew close, so close, he ended up telling me he loved me. I started loving him back, and i was a fool to do so. "J" was well, different. He would always insult me with the way i dressed, looked, acted and when i insulted him back, he'd be extremely angry and tell me to lose my temper because i was being really petty (boy what?). And i did. I started acting fakely around him, be somebody he wanted me to be, but i hated it. "J" would love to fish for compliments. "Boo, i think im too fat" he'd say, and i'd be like "no, sweetheart, thats not true" but when i did the same, exp. "J, am i annoying" he'd agree, "Lol kinda" and he knew how it hurt my feelings. It was, A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. Come to say, me and "J" are not talking anymore, and i'm glad, after all this time. No, i sadly wasnt the one who ended it. One day he woke up and realized i was getting boring, and well.. text-dumped me. I was so sad, i begged him to tell me why and i promised him i'd change. Oh well, i did change. After crying myself to sleep for 3 days in a row, i woke up not loving him anymore. Instead i felt this urge to puke everytime i heard his name, and i blocked him. My friends, who i had completely cut off because he said so, comforted me, and "J" was out of the story to this day. "J"... if you know who you are out there and read this, i hope you realise you're a piece of trash, and no, you'll never be a model. I'm so happy you made me realize not everyone who promises keeps it. I do hope you change some day and make someone happy, and although it wasn't me, i'm in better hands now. Preach 💐

    I'm a sociopath and it isn't really like this. you can make the choice to try for others even if it doesn't come natrually or seem to matter much. it will be like their happiness is your accomplishment and watching them succeed becomes something you want. we can't pretend to feel what you feel​, but if you are important, we will try to make you feel better.

    • @tomclanys
      @tomclanys Před 7 lety +10

      Yeah, I agree. The fuel to doing something is to know that someone that matters to you is happy. And everyone else doesn't matter. I find it hard to try something against my nature, it's really hard, even if it's with great rewards... I lack empathy. The downside is when I have to be "happy", I often have to act that way... I feel empty from emotions, the only things I mostly feel are sadness, emptiness and anger, but I think I can love someone, and when I do, I really want them to have the best life.

    but i got my happy ending. i left that guy and today i am now engaged to the man of my dreams who makes me feel happy every single day ♡

    • @dracocrusher
      @dracocrusher Před 7 lety +37

      Just because someone is a sociopath doesn't mean they can't change or that you have to deal with it. Don't let them isolate you, but if you're the type of person who isn't hurt or bothered by what they do, then I don't believe there's anything wrong with things. But if they do, then try and talk to them and find some even ground. And if the behavior continues to happen and effect you and nothing changes, then you might want to consider whether or not your affection for them is strong enough to make up for that behavior.
      Honestly, that's the best advice I can give since I'm not sure what exactly they're doing or how extreme it is, so hope it helps to some extent.

He even blamed me for him not being allowed to see his three year old daughter (he was 17 so he had her at 15) and tried to lie to me saying the girl raped him then manipulated the courts into saying he couldn't see her again blaming me when I didn't even know him when this hsppened.

    My husband actually got diagnosed as mentally insane when he was 13. Also he has sociopathic traits. However, he doesn't act like anything described in this video. He's actually one of the few genuinely nice and kind people I know. Is there a different type of sociopath where they're not terrible people but the way their mind works is just different? Or am I describing something else?

    • @dracocrusher
      @dracocrusher Před 7 lety +41

      I'm no expert, but I fully believe that it's possible for people with sociopathic traits to not act out on those traits. That doesn't necessarily mean they're no longer a sociopath, but something you have to realize is that sociopaths tend to be pretty smart. So it's completely possible for a sociopath to recognize that specific sociopathic behavior, like being manipulative and controlling, is not always beneficial or poses social or material risks they don't want to take. Which would cause them to not act out on said behavior for their own sake. But that's just my thoughts.

      I have sociopathic traits, but I don't enact upon them. For example, sometimes I'll feel zero sympathy/empathy in a situation that warrants it, but I'll still offer support/condolences. I can't help the way I feel, but I can control how I interact with others in a way that doesn't put them off. Mindset is one thing; actions are another.

    I think it’s important to remember that sociopaths don’t necessarily have to fit every single criteria. My boyfriend did all of these except for the isolation part. He never tried to isolate me, but he would be very loving for many days and then completely cold and abandoned me for days on end. Looking back I think he did it to try and emotionally manipulate me and hurt me because he didn’t really like women and he admitted that

  • @crashez35
    @crashez35 Před 7 lety +92

    well then... my ex was a sociopath.... he was always controlling who i could and couldn't be friends with, sometimes id complain about my parents a little (because everyone does that at least a little bit) and id complain about how sometimes my dad would give me compliments that embarrassed me like him saying how i could be a model and blah blah and my ex would act all weird and say how i couldn't be a model because... i didn't have to if i didn't want too? 1 week after my dad died he didn't show very much sympathy at all because apparently me complaining a little bit time to time meant that i straight up hated my dad or something in his mind and he acted really surprised when i was sad because my dad died and then told me i should get over it... like wtf dude fathers can be an extreme part of child development and for me too loose him about 2 weeks after i turned 12 and im just supposed to "get over it"... (yes i was stupid to be in a relationship with him from the age 10 to 12 considering i didnt know as much as i do now but its pretty stupid for me to be in another relationship at age 13 so... experience i guess? but hey at least i got smart enough to cut it off after he threatened to commit suicide to get me to stay with him)
    now im going to mumble on about other sociopathic type shit my ex did like oh idk he'd call me at 6 or 7 am randomly when he knew i had a sleeping disorder and on top of that he'd call even more if i didn't pick up the phone and then claim i was trying to pull some sick joke, he had planned to have me come with him to his vacation house and then stalk me in the bathroom with a secret hole in the wall, he touched/hit my breasts to annoy me because he thought it was funny... once he even stroked them in public and then bragged to his twin brother about it in front of me, he would ask overly personal questions like if i had a tampon in and if he found out i was on my period he'd use me as a threat against some boys who would sexually harass me like complimenting my bras, saying they saw me naked ect. dont think my ex wasn't guilty of some of that shit.... and then there was the fact that if he didn't get along with someone i knew, i couldn't be friends with them anymore because he didn't want me around ppl he didn't like and he would claim that one of my greatest friends would kill me simply because he didn't like her... and he would plan to stalk us hanging out even going as far as to send his twin over to her house to keep watch, he was also super controlling of what i could and couldn't do... he wouldn't let me do girly stuff with him or with my girl friends and would tell us if we wanted to do girly shit we should plan our own day and when we did just what he said he got all mad saying that i just didn't want to spend time with him... he would emotionally torment me alot aswell... so my last birthday present i got from my dad was a bike and i cherished that bike because of that and my ex would literally threaten to knok it over if i didn't do what he wanted and a week after i got the bike he fucked it up.... there was even a time i trusted him with my phone and he broke the fucking screen because he put it in his backpack and claimed he forgot it was in there and threw it off the side if a play structure... and said i shouldn't be mad because at least I had enough money to fix it... and there are so many other things i could vent about like how he wanted me to favor him over my family, how he would be racist to blacks constantly even though im half black, how he planned our entire future, said he wouldn't allow me to adopt because of his belief that the child needs to be blood related, put a tracking chip in me because he didn't trust me,tried to control where i went to school at what age (i was in homeschool wanting to be in regular school and he was trying to get me to not go to regular school until i got my license bc that what he planned to do), he expected me to like everything he did just because i liked one thing he did, tried to use me as a way to benefit him with my possessions, got mad at any of my interests that he didn't have and would question my for my likes and dislikes ... and this one i kinda blame myself for not leaving but he was open about saying he only liked me because i was pretty... and now he says that i was the crazy one in the relationship
    if you read through that all... damn and just know that im glad i broke that relationship off later than never... i was stupid af for not leaving sooner, im 13 currently and im with another guy that respects me more and im honestly really happy with him and we literally tell eachother everything (so we dont have jealousy and so we understand eachother better) and honestly it seems to be going pretty well and yes i do admit we have our snags at times because we dont fully understand eachother yet but we have been working to get through it.... and i know if it goes downhill i should talk to him about it to work it out and if that doesn't work i should just leave... I've learned and i know i still have a loooong way to go and most people would say im too young but hey i probably am but oh well its my choice to deal with heartache so ehhh... so feel free to leave your opinions if you want i guess im not really gonna care so there isn't really a point but whatever floats your boat puddin

The thing about narcopaths/sociopaths is they are chamellions and can be who ever some is looking for. Once they know they have you sucked in thats when the mask comes off and so the hell begins (unless youre smart and run like the wind blows)...

      lilacinsd, "only fools rush in", as they say. You dont really know a person until youve lived with them is what I know... I was a fool that learned the hard way. So, yeah, get to know them by dating them for like, years... Good advice Asher Mack. Its easy to be "blinded by love" and acting on a temporary rush of emotion. Its also easy to be fooled by a wolf in sheeps clothing, even after years of knowing then dating them. They are masters of deception. Before dating anyone, be cautious always of red flags, any and all, even if they seem small. Any time you qyestion a behavior or gesture, especially if you think to yourself youre being paranoid or overly cautious, making excuses. Keep a journal of any and all potential and obvious red flags, for a while before making life plans with another person is what id advise anyone....

But if the person isn't a psycho, you can get to know them. But if you have met one, I understand the fear.

      lilacinsd, well, yeah. Agree 100% dating first is a must. Most people have small encounters before dating either on line, or how ever. They are very good at what they do, but they arent THAT good that there is always a little test by them that will be a red flag. We all have an inner voice thats wise beyond measure. They are some sly charming dogs, try feeling them out before even dating them. Read up and learn human psychology 101. And i dont care what anyone says, prince charming DOES NOT exist! Gotta watch those charming mofos! Im not sure about that knight in shining armour. Lol, i am sure though that a narc will swoop in, charm your pants off, and its almost fairy tail-ish, and i wasnt ever the hopeless romantic, find my prince live happily ever after type girl. Exact opposite! I didnt ever really want to be married or have children. Then here came along this charming, wonderful man... i hadnt ever been treated so great.... hahahaa, devistating to ones life the moment you realize the person you fell in love with, started a family with, and planned on being with for the rest of your days doesnt exist. On top of that they will intentionally sabotage you to your core, no matter how much you do or love them, compromise... Actually it seems the more you do trying everything to make it work or "make" them love you like they used to (ACT like), the worse theyll take advantage. So yes, date, but maybe even do pre-date, dating sessions. Make yourself a list of boundaries, your rule book that you live by and will not bend those rules for anyone. Keep track of any and all boundaries of yours get approached, stand your ground, dont cave, and then pay attention to their reactions. Do they respect your boundaries or do they subtly push you, even "joking" to bend your rules just for them....

    Him: "I didn't say anything wrong"
    Me: but you act like a jerk
    Him: "I could never hurt a woman, when have I ever hit you?"
    Me: thinking of all of that other stuff he did that still hurts
