I have been SURROUNDED by these people my WHOLE life and THEY always made me feel like I was the one w/the problem so I NEVER felt NORMAL. In reality, I was the only one normal.
I have been stalked by nasty people who are exactly within this category. Those evils tried dirty tactics, and used defamation and slanders to try to discredit me. They have been trying to ruin my career and isolate me. Luckily I received help from many nice people so I knew how bad those evils are.
Unfortunately, we as a generation(millennial/gen z) throw around this label way too commonly. I’m guilty of this as well, until I got attached to a sociopath. The real thing is way worse than just hurt feelings. Stay educated and most importantly, TRUST YOUR GUT

Had a sociopath boss. It was the stare that got me researching the topic. Also, if she smiled or laughed, her eyes were always cold and brutal. Super creepy vibe.
married to it for 24 years. still recovering 12 years after the marriage ended. it's devastating to everyone around them, but especially their children and their spouses.
I am going through a rough time because my ex was a 100% sociopath and had a plan for me, in coordination with her best gay friend, that was very chilling and disturbing. I'm in no contact now, but my heart is broken badly.
This video describes a narcissist. Or my X-wife and now my eldest son. They are very difficult to spot until you live with them. If you are an empath like myself, watch out! The best warning is that they never take responsibility when things go wrong.
They aren't so difficult to spot if you educate yourself. The trick is trusting what you see based off their actions not what they say and accept. It's hard to accept when you hold on to hope for a better outcome. My hope is my biggest weakness with these types. Well I'm doing better about. I hope they think I'm defeated and move on.
According to that fine book The Sociopath Next Door the best way to tell if someone's a sociopath is they'll try to make you feel sorry 😭 for them. That was priceless for me to learn and you see it all the time. Also at least one in 25 Americans is a sociopath and that book was published a long time ago.
That was a great book. Indeed it said that the thing sociopaths desire most is sympathy. Gain someone’s sympathy and that’s when they are easiest to manipulate.
There is another fine book on this topic: "Without Conscience, The Disturbing World Of The Psychopaths Among Us" by Dr. Robert Hare. The author is the preeminent expert on these characters and in his considered opinion, psychopaths and sociopaths are one and the same. All the characteristics listed in this video are also earmarks of psychopaths in his book.
@@Inflec As someone with ASPD I can assure you we are not one in the same. Sociopaths can actually feel some emotions and empathy. Psychopaths however are almost entirely devoid of it and enjoy the process of manipulating people. Sociopaths don't manipulate to cause harm intentionally as psychopaths do. Sociopaths often struggle with life, as have I. It's not easy not being able to connect on a deep emotional level, but it's not impossible. There's been only one girl in my life I actually got attached too, however my anti-social personality makes it difficult for the relationship to last, and eventually I become over bearing as I cannot control the flood of emotion that happened during this time. It was the only time in my life I felt alive. She's gone now though, won't speak to me. I don't really care much for anything else anymore.
My stepfather fell on the narcissist/psychopath/sociopath spectrum and he loved being angry as often as he could be - over anything that could give him even the slightest excuse. When we asked him to get some help so as to not be so explosive in the house as it was shredding both mine and my mother’s nerves; she was a sensitive redhead - and had a sixth sense and got anxious and stressed with his constant unwarranted and sudden outbursts. He simply laughed and replied: “But I’m fine, honestly I’m fine.” He didn’t give a toss about the stress he was inflicting on others - quite the opposite as he often seemed to enjoy it.
@@BaebiDoll There’s definitely consistent patterns to their behaviour. It’s like they’re operating at some robotic level, as if there’s a programmed set of circuits in the brain (the lower reptilian region) and it seems they think they’re so unique, whilst in fact the opposite is true. As those in that unfortunate condition follow the same impulses, drives and behaviour patterns.....
My late father certainly had a case of IED: Intermittent Explosive Disorder. That’s what what your step-father seems like. Living my father was unpredictable at best. His rage would pop out of nowhere.
Yep -theres someone I talk to who I wouldn't label as a freind due to how they act and who they are as a person who just gets pissy over absolutely NOTHING and its ridiculous
You just described my most recent ex boyfriend to the letter. Allergic to accountability, believes all his opinions are facts, indifference to the pain and hurt feelings they cause others, exploitative, manipulative, judgmental and cruel. Controlling and entitled as he is impulsive. Rude and selfish as he is unempathetic… impossible to have any healthy connection:(
I knew I wouldn't have to search long until I found the "this is my ex's behavior to a T". I'm not saying you weren't a victim of this type of behavior but statements like this are a red flag for me for many reasons. Hope your experience helped you learn to better protect yourself from problematic people.
Turn every conversation by personal attacks on you even when you're trying to help them. They live in a delusional world of their own making and refuse to work as a team. Sad 😔
@@nana820able My gosh! That is EXACTLY how my $&@& family member behaves! I have tried for years to help and be kind to my FM only to have it turned back at me in the form of an argument! I am floored you had experienced this detail as well. It is exhausting and so very frustrating
I have a brother who is one. He has spent his life hurting people especially my parents who still refuse to believe that he manipulates them. It’s heart wrenching to witness. I’ve finally have gotten him out of my life as hard as that was as I love him, but I had to save myself
Oh my gosh, one of my former bullies were like this. Now I know why she was like that. I have ran into many sickos like this in my life. They always make it seem like we are the ones who are bad when it is actually them. Sickos they are!

It's hard. Especially when the person in question sounded so sincere, that in spite of inwardly knowing better, I chose to let bygones be bygones & try to trust again. Result: dropped like a hot potato 4 someone else "he might start dating." This less than a week after he was acting like he wanted to be with me.
AH is a textbook sociopathic narcissist energy vampire. They eat Empaths like Johnny for lunch. So happy for JD finally vindicated. Now able to pursue this passions & live his best life.💗

Yes sometimes the hardest lessons we learn are from the monsters we meet sometimes being around these creatures makes us wanna get rid of our own demons so thanks to every narcissist sociopath psychopath for showing what I don't want in my life and what to look for when I look at people it just becomes that more easier to read people when you been there done that I use to be that person to try to always see the good in people type of person but until you have had to deal with these people most your life you don't think that way anymore I'll give people the benefit of the doubt but I honestly won't expect too much out of people I never take anyone for face value ever and I always expect less until you prove me that your worth more

This is the perfect description of my father’s personality.. so much makes sense now, but is also very sad since I now realise I can’t be around his toxicity as it’s terrible for my mental health. Lots of love to any kind people out there dealing with this sort of drama 🧡
ALSO.....POOR SENSE OF SMELL( amygdala dysfunction) bedwetting when little( not always)..( more amygdala circuit dysfunction)....and tbey CANNOT understans analogies!!!!! I know a psychopath and he could never understand analogies i used.
Too complicated . A real sociopath is networking to secure and advance themselves on the Status ladder (psychologically and literally) and are on the lookout for flaws or information by another person that can be used to degrade that person usually using humorous ridicule behind that persons back if an when needed. Yes of course they will lie but only when they know it can't be proved and change sides when really necessary. They are a lot more cunning and instinctive than this video portrays.
Exactly. People are nowadays all psychologists, pop psychology as they say; any normal human mistake or any jerk nature doesn't necessarily mean they are psycho, socio or narc. In fact, sometimes chances are that these energy vampires try to tag their own avatars on others, especially if the target is not confident enough. But one of the main matters is that they have a tremendous manipulative pattern, that gets revealed slowly over time.
There are truly stupid ones as well,who will dig the hole deeper no matter what. They probably have other issues as well so not necessarily a pure, normally functioning sociopath.
What is missing from this well thought out video is after your expiration date, these people will abuse the hell out of you and destroy your life and everything you built up...even if that means that they will destroy their reputation in that process. Their serious mental illness is not based in reality...they are predators looking for a plaything to distract them from their chaotic thoughts. The ending is hellish with these soulless creatures, watch out!
Interesting “too good to be true” is what Johnny said about Amber when he first got together with her. And when she was testifying no matter how dramatic she sounded it all sounded empty. I felt nothing and usually I am super empathetic
I felt the opposite poor johnny acting like the victim, of ambers hatred, I think Johnny has darker issues and ruining people's lives, to make him feel superiority.
@@TheDarkness1 heroin addicted Johnny, attorneys painted amber to be the sociopath.. now her life is in ruins,.. because why? Because Johnny thought she was referring 2 him to a write up.. as a titanic in and article in a magazine... Come on!! Wake up...
@@darkjimmyzone Her life is in ruins because she's being held accountable for her own actions and yes, I'm highly awake. I know delusional talk when I see it....avoiding facts, character assassination, and using only feelings and Personal bias to manipulate. If 98% of the world can clearly see Amber is the abuser, why can't you? Sticking up for a fellow bully and abuser?
Amber's FUBAR okay but so is Johnny. He chose her he married her he stayed with her. It's never a good idea to bash your ex cuz you chose that person you stayed with that person. You need to ask what's wrong with you so you don't do it again. you can't bash your ex without bashing yourself. Same with Amber she was a dummy for choosing him and staying with him if he was so cruel.
One of the best books on the topic is by author Martha Stout "The sociopath next door." She says the number one trait indicating sociopathy is called "Pity ploy". This involves "a manipulation tactic where a sociopath abuses or exploits someone, then pretends to be the victim when they are called out. "The sociopath relies on people's natural desire to help those they pity to get what they want without being seen as a villain."
Dated one for five years...was awful! But I kept making excuses for him. Finally I wised up and walked away, but it's really funny that even 3 years after he would greet me in the street like we were best mates! Like nothing terrible had happened, and never once acknowledged that it was his fault or apologised for his appalling behaviour...I just ignore him now x
You need to block him on everything mine still tried to contact after 11 years out of blue be careful. Even on whatsapp and any friends you mutually have i had to block them all he would use any person he could to get to me for sympathy or to order from my business as a way to sneak back into contact , you live close beware if he is being nice do not beleive it
I literally just cut off a friend because he was acting like a sociopath. Everyone was the problem and not him. Manipulating his roommates into given him money or sex. Impulsive buying. Inappropriate behavior. I wish I could tell his roommates to leave while they can before he takes every thing from them, but they won't listen. He's good at manipulating emotions. He almost got me. My gut was telling me to leave so I did. I'm glad I did.
Not everybody want you to interfere with others peoples life Some people prefer a private life Some people they post their problems in social media which is wrong
Great tips! This is why you have to be very careful who you get involved with - because they could possibly ruin your life, and the career that you’ve worked so hard for. And this is also why you have to pay really close attention early on in the relationship, to see if you can spot any red flags before it’s too late. I’m sure John Depp wish he had - now! Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips
Yes . You save them from drowning. You are left for the tsunami . They do not understand reciprocation. It's only about winners & losers.For them, Winners take all.
For real- the one I knew would manipulate everyone and somehow find loopholes in everything. They told my apartment I wasn’t living there because they’re now my “caretaker”, lost my job that although not the best was still enjoyable and had friends, wiped out my savings too- total nightmare. They even manipulated their own family members so as to get money…
But the question is how do you know for sure? The signs here “may be” signs of a sociopath. But if you notice these behaviors and jump to the conclusion you’re dealing with a sociopath, you “may be” unnecessarily creating an enemy where none previously existed. Knowing when to give the benefit of the doubt is a necessary life skill, and pop psychology is a perfect example of the old adage, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
I was married to a female sociopath. Now I know what it was. It wasn't all bad but she had 10 of the 12 traits. She's been gone (divorced now) for 20 years and now I understand.
I used to be baffled by the not learning from mistakes thing and would often say 'the first sign of madness is making the same mistake over and over to see if it will go right'. One of xxx's catch phrases is 'It should do' and he really never sees why it then 'doesn't do' .
I think it's important to find things to appreciate about others and tell them. I can see how it could come off as "flattery" but I'm not going to stop doing it just because people mistake sincere appreciation for ass kissing.
Realizing I lived with one. She literally exhibited all of these traits. No job, no friends, always angry and starting drama, never apologized even when proven wrong by everyone in the room. It was scary actually
@@sushreeswain1554 pretty quickly actually. She became hostile almost immediately. She even went so far as to reach out to my ex girlfriend to tell her I was seeing someone out of jealousy since she was attracted to me and i found her repulsive. All while me and her were living with her fiancé. She refused to work, even when I was working at a temp agency and could give her whatever job she wanted. She sat around all day smoking weed and watching teen dramas(she's almost 30) then tried to make her life as drama filled as the shows since she was bored 24/7. I was afraid she was going to harm or kill my dogs.
as someone who is diagnosed as a sociopath.... I can't even lie this is all true! Plus it helps I'm 6'5Very attractive Tall dark and handsome And very charming, we Get away with a lot of We don't mean bad We're not Evil Just different We don't feel the same type of empathy you do At least I don't I do lie a lot Because I wanna get to the top And always be right The 1 thing he didn't say is a lot of us have a lot of pride we'd like to be wrong
You should study former U.S. Senator, presidential nominee and Secretary of State John Kerry. He got the act goofy thing down and it helped him get along with (though also deceive) all the little normies. I would call Kerry more of a narcissist than a sociopath though. But the routine ends up being about the same. Then again, he was in politics, where touchy-feely flies. Especially if you are positioned as a liberal Democrat, where you have to pretend that you care about the downtrodden. I am sure it is different in business, although a little fake empathy is in order there too.
This channel is incredibly enthralling. First and foremost his enunciation of words is out of this world and is great for non-English speakers and easy to remember 🔝🔥
Im not a psychologist or shrink... I've just been looking into human behaviours since leaving my ex 2•5yrs ago - he ticks every single box for being a sociopath & covert narcissist
Lived with a sociopath for eighteen years. Didn’t know it for a long time; though I was getting red flags. I know all this about them now. Thank you for informing those who don’t know these traits about a sociopath.
I was married to one and did he tick ALL of these boxes... I twigged him a few weeks into our marriage but too late for this little fly trapped in his alluring spiders web, but that was just the tip of the iceberg on what was to become for me and my family's a nightmare's journey into hell... One word of advice, never, ever confront a sociopath about something - they turn into exceptionally nasty and dangerous people as I was to unfortunately find out. After I kicked him out and got my divorce going, he went on to his next "girlfriend" sorry, I should say victim and repeated the same trick over again exactly the same modus operandi and then after that with the next girl...
As someone who was diagnosed with ASPD I can 100% confirm these r all real sociopathic signs but coming from my perspective we don't all mean harm and mean evil it's how our brains r wired I wanna get attached to my friends but it feels impossible to form a real bond hell it even feels impossible to form a bong wit family members I wanna keep a job and make a good career for myself but it bores me very easily I wanna feel and relate to ppl but sometimes I truly just can't bring myself to actually care about what they're saying trust me I fucking wish I didn't have to live wit this shit I'm not dogging the creator on how he made it out like were bad guys bc even if we don't believe it we kinda can be but some ppl wanna be normal but they just aren't and most the time it stems from deep rooted trauma great vid nonetheless tho I enjoyed it it's very accurate to atleast my symptoms and how I am as a person without the sinister undertone
I would assume you had a relatively stable upbringing then. The problem is, that there is a lot we don't know about the development/causes of antisocial personality disorder. Not all with ASPD will become serial killers. There is some experience and research that indicates a lack of physical touch early on in life, 0-1.5 years of age I believe the range is, can severely alter the nervous system, with a lack of vasopressin release to tune the nervous system, plus the stress of not having needs met, can leave it being muted. Babies who experience this no longer react instinctively to pain. Therefore you get the "lack of care," present in ASPD. But there are also potential genetic factors that could contribute to it as well. It's a complicated thing. Videos like this are designed for clicks, suitable for surface-level suggestions for signs, but that's it.
@@sushreeswain1554 Don’t know off the top of my head but search “dsm 5 criteria for aspd,” and you should get the criteria for it. Tests are usually questions to evaluate one’s disposition on a variety of things.
@@Theendman42 Not all? Try most won't. Most sociopaths are not criminals. Also, most serial killers and killers in general are psychopaths. There's a big difference. Psychopaths just simply cannot connect with people at all, and get thrills from manipulating others, sometimes even harming people. Not saying there isn't sociopath killers, but most sociopaths simply are not. ASPD can be exasperated from trauma as well. If you were already pre-disposed for it and go through very extreme trauma, your anti social behavior sky rockets. I was raped by my brother growing up, was bullied throughout my entire childhood, got addicted to meth/heroin, but it was when I accidentally killed someone driving high that sent me over the edge. There have only been a few people in my life I actually have connected with and became attached too, but it's a very selfish form of it. I am not mean or cruel, in fact I am down right too nice because I am desperate to keep them with me. Eventually things deteriorate because I become an emotional burden because I can't control my emotional states in relationships. Again, never am mean or violent, I despise violence actually. Most notably I don't really care about most people in my life. Most of my family I can't stand... Most of my friends I can't stand either. It's lonely...
What this video described is someone with narcissistic personality disorder not a socialpath unless they have both disorders and that will make them a malignant narcissist.
I knew one. the term 'narcissistic (because they are deeply egocentric) sociopath' is preferred because nothing is ever their fault, there is alot of drama around them and hurt those they are supposed to love, and often will do that for sport.
I was thinking the exact same thing, except narcs experience guilt and shame, so they do any and everything to avoid those feelings. But, they do it in a toxic, unhealthy and backwards way.
@@theosaka69 That's very very true. Sociopaths lack a conscious whereas narcissists have over inflated egos and extremely low ability tolerate shame of any kind. I did do some research about sociopaths a few years ago and learned that sociopaths and their behavior are rooted in genetics. Narcissism is different on the other hand as narcissism is the direct of result poor parenting.
@@happycat0411wrong. Psychopaths are rooted in genes, because as the name claims, it's a *psycho*path. Sociopaths can have a predisposition, but are generally created due to trauma, so not genetically bound. There are three types of sociopaths. Those hotheads like from the movies that go around a cause chaos, sociopaths who simply enjoy chaos, though as an observational hobby whilst not being involved unless required, and who use the disorder as sort of a superpower, where they make good connections, and even can make friends. To elaborate, sociopaths can understand emotions very well and can feel them, though extremely shallowly, because they had emotions but something cut them off. There is also a high chance that a sociopath is unable to communicate their own emotions. Same goes for empathy, though if they feel it it's usually rationalised and not, well, "emotional". These are self aware, high-functioning sociopaths. And yeah, there's the third kind, those that are ashamed, as per say, of themselves, hence they turn to therapy because they want to escape it. Then again, there are obviously those with a predisposition, who've learned emotions to fit in. A friend of mine is a sociopath, a predispositioned one, I believe, who studies psychology and is very good at it, a natural. He claims that there's chance that I'm a high-functioning one, in a way partially confirming my self diagnosis.
They know damn well what they do is wrong! You can almost hear their evil laugh as theyre looking at you with their sociopath grin as to say "prove it". Its scary to me just how many sociopaths there seems to be. Like the ones who run the world for example...
Everything is accurate. But, pscycopaths and narcissists have the same traits. It could be confusing to tell the difference. In my opinion, this video needs a little more to differ for the two mentioned above. For instance, sociopaths are more explosive than pscychopaths. And unlike narcissists they wont mess with you if you dont mess with them. You dont even exist to sociopaths and pscycopaths if you dont have any of interest for them. Unlike a narcissist, if they see you as a threat, they will try to eliminate you. I know this from personal experience. I have four narcissists in my famiy.
Aspd here, this video is very accurate on the symptoms and behavior associated with sociopathy(aspd) just don’t forget we are still people with struggles and problems
It’s unfortunate when that person happens to be a family member. I feel pulled in different directions during inflated family drama. My instinct is to be honest about my perspective, but that tends to escalate it. If I simply affirm everything, I keep the peace, but I’m sacrificing true nature to seek truth. I don’t agree with the model of “cutting out all toxic people.” It sounds like the easier choice, but not the right one.
Watch for complimenting everyone and anyone! Anyone! On the flip side/at the same time, watch as they do stuff for you but treat their family and friends they have known FOR YEARS like garbage. They always treat new people like gold and dismiss their family.
Im an empath and these folks so often see me as an easy mark because of the emotional nature of empaths . But, being who I am, I see them as though they have a yellow caution light on their heads. So I listen and smile and nod my head, and the instant they walk away, I wipe them and our conversation away like a milk mustache. They think they've " touched my heart " when in reality they have had no effect on me, my life or my decisions. It's taken me 65 years to get here. ALOT of pain in my youth. Not really their fault. We are who we are. No grudges. I've just learned to take things and humans as they come. It's up to me to protect myself. I just prefer to do it with a smile. Have an incredible day. EVERYDAY!!!
When they always say you’re gaslighting them but you’re just calling them out on their bs 🙄…they hate the truth or the past. They horrible to date or have a relationship with, the insane amount of lies they tell themselves is unreal!!!!
Everyone is capable or has exhibited these traits, it’s natural to the human being. We are conditioned with a moral code and that’s the only reason we try so hard to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people.
A true sociopath knows how to personality mirror and manipulate elusively. But they will make people believe that they are a "different kind of crazy." Because people like people who remind them of themselves.
This is great I know this all to well cause I live with a sociopath I believe that I might be a sociopath as well but I can see a sociopath as well from a mile away, anyways God bless everyone who comes across this comment ✝️🕊️🙌🎚️
Well, I've certainly been guilty of much of this behavior. Being aware helps and don't act that way anymore. I do feel guilt and shame, have and still know others who don't really. It's unsettling.
Hey that's me! Except I don't manipulate and when I screw up I admit it. I feel bad if I hurt someone and have no hidden motives. I guess just the first one I tend to have more knowledge then the average person also why do I have to worry about everyone's feeling.
She is a sociopath for sure and not a psychopath. Both are bad but...sociopaths are not as smart as psychopaths. Psychopaths are really really scary. Sociopaths rage outwardly.
I have somebody in my class who I suspect is a sociopath because he always thinks his math is right even if the teacher is right and it happens everyday. He shows no remorse and he lies a lot. He also says people don’t like him and he doesn’t know why it’s because he thinks he has no flaws. He also always argues with our teachers.
Amber Heard did wear a 666 necklace to court, she is connected to Hollywood, though Hollywood is almost worshiped as role models, on their best behavior at award ceremonies and such you never know when behavior outside the norm, someone will get punched in the face, die of drug overdose, nudity will happen by mistake. I don't trust how media portrays show trial and everyone is expected to hop on the wagon. The whole thing seems toxic in my opinion
She was diagnosed with HBPD. She is not a sociopath. On the other hand you can certainly tell Johnny is though, especially being friends with Maralyn Manson.
I have been SURROUNDED by these people my WHOLE life and THEY always made me feel like I was the one w/the problem so I NEVER felt NORMAL. In reality, I was the only one normal.
I have been stalked by nasty people who are exactly within this category. Those evils tried dirty tactics, and used defamation and slanders to try to discredit me. They have been trying to ruin my career and isolate me. Luckily I received help from many nice people so I knew how bad those evils are.
Same here! Unfortunately there are many sickos like that in this world.
i hope you have new non sociopath friends now.
Yup!! That’s my life unfortunately!!
Same here.
Unfortunately, we as a generation(millennial/gen z) throw around this label way too commonly. I’m guilty of this as well, until I got attached to a sociopath. The real thing is way worse than just hurt feelings. Stay educated and most importantly, TRUST YOUR GUT

I thought I was involved with a narcissist, but after seeing this I am involved with a sociopath. I have established no contact. Thank you very much 🙏
There’s a lot of overlap, many people have both traits. I kind of like the term narcopath.
Keep up the no contact! Good job. Your life could literally depend on it. I was married to one, divorced him & then dated one.
@@ninamc6116 I dated two. I was so determined not to choose another but I did! At least I'm smart enough now to leave ASAP when I do see the signs
😂😂😂
I am going through a rough time because my ex was a 100% sociopath and had a plan for me, in coordination with her best gay friend, that was very chilling and disturbing.
I'm in no contact now, but my heart is broken badly.
This video describes a narcissist. Or my X-wife and now my eldest son. They are very difficult to spot until you live with them. If you are an empath like myself, watch out! The best warning is that they never take responsibility when things go wrong.
Thank you!
They aren't so difficult to spot if you educate yourself. The trick is trusting what you see based off their actions not what they say and accept. It's hard to accept when you hold on to hope for a better outcome. My hope is my biggest weakness with these types. Well I'm doing better about. I hope they think I'm defeated and move on.
The saying goes every sociopath is a narcissist but not every narcissistic is a sociopath.
All sociopaths are narcissists but not all narcissists are sociopaths.
Is it them or you. Lol
According to that fine book The Sociopath Next Door the best way to tell if someone's a sociopath is they'll try to make you feel sorry 😭 for them. That was priceless for me to learn and you see it all the time. Also at least one in 25 Americans is a sociopath and that book was published a long time ago.
That was a great book. Indeed it said that the thing sociopaths desire most is sympathy. Gain someone’s sympathy and that’s when they are easiest to manipulate.
There is another fine book on this topic: "Without Conscience, The Disturbing World Of The Psychopaths Among Us" by Dr. Robert Hare. The author is the preeminent expert on these characters and in his considered opinion, psychopaths and sociopaths are one and the same. All the characteristics listed in this video are also earmarks of psychopaths in his book.
@@xgwke5867 really??

Shoot my “ex” has to be one…
I thought she was just a borderline but…
@@Inflec As someone with ASPD I can assure you we are not one in the same. Sociopaths can actually feel some emotions and empathy. Psychopaths however are almost entirely devoid of it and enjoy the process of manipulating people. Sociopaths don't manipulate to cause harm intentionally as psychopaths do. Sociopaths often struggle with life, as have I. It's not easy not being able to connect on a deep emotional level, but it's not impossible. There's been only one girl in my life I actually got attached too, however my anti-social personality makes it difficult for the relationship to last, and eventually I become over bearing as I cannot control the flood of emotion that happened during this time. It was the only time in my life I felt alive. She's gone now though, won't speak to me. I don't really care much for anything else anymore.
This sounds like my family. They make you feel guilty and wrong for creating healthy boundaries.
hi wolf, ditto. you sure we arent related? seeking out the fellow 'black sheep' or other scapegoats ;)
My stepfather fell on the narcissist/psychopath/sociopath spectrum and he loved being angry as often as he could be - over anything that could give him even the slightest excuse.
When we asked him to get some help so as to not be so explosive in the house as it was shredding both mine and my mother’s nerves; she was a sensitive redhead - and had a sixth sense and got anxious and stressed with his constant unwarranted and sudden outbursts. He simply laughed and replied:
“But I’m fine, honestly I’m fine.”
He didn’t give a toss about the stress he was inflicting on others - quite the opposite as he often seemed to enjoy it.

There’s definitely consistent patterns to their behaviour. It’s like they’re operating at some robotic level, as if there’s a programmed set of circuits in the brain (the lower reptilian region) and it seems they think they’re so unique, whilst in fact the opposite is true. As those in that unfortunate condition follow the same impulses, drives and behaviour patterns.....

Amber Heard is not the brightest person. But other sociopaths may be highly intelligent and their lies may be way more plausible.
Yes sometimes the hardest lessons we learn are from the monsters we meet sometimes being around these creatures makes us wanna get rid of our own demons so thanks to every narcissist sociopath psychopath for showing what I don't want in my life and what to look for when I look at people it just becomes that more easier to read people when you been there done that I use to be that person to try to always see the good in people type of person but until you have had to deal with these people most your life you don't think that way anymore I'll give people the benefit of the doubt but I honestly won't expect too much out of people I never take anyone for face value ever and I always expect less until you prove me that your worth more

Too complicated . A real sociopath is networking to secure and advance themselves on the Status ladder (psychologically and literally) and are on the lookout for flaws or information by another person that can be used to degrade that person usually using humorous ridicule behind that persons back if an when needed. Yes of course they will lie but only when they know it can't be proved and change sides when really necessary.
They are a lot more cunning and instinctive than this video portrays.
Exactly. People are nowadays all psychologists, pop psychology as they say; any normal human mistake or any jerk nature doesn't necessarily mean they are psycho, socio or narc. In fact, sometimes chances are that these energy vampires try to tag their own avatars on others, especially if the target is not confident enough. But one of the main matters is that they have a tremendous manipulative pattern, that gets revealed slowly over time.
I agree. People that get fired are usually targeted by sociopaths who give people personality disorders
There are truly stupid ones as well,who will dig the hole deeper no matter what. They probably have other issues as well so not necessarily a pure, normally functioning sociopath.
As someone who has been diagnosed with Antisocial personality disorder,I can 100% agree to some degree
That's a psychopath smart commenter dude. I wish we were that smart
I absolutely love that you used a picture of AH to show "a face" of a sociopath😂
I've frequently observed sociopathic tendencies within my immediate family.
What is missing from this well thought out video is after your expiration date, these people will abuse the hell out of you and destroy your life and everything you built up...even if that means that they will destroy their reputation in that process. Their serious mental illness is not based in reality...they are predators looking for a plaything to distract them from their chaotic thoughts.
The ending is hellish with these soulless creatures, watch out!

Amber's FUBAR okay but so is Johnny. He chose her he married her he stayed with her. It's never a good idea to bash your ex cuz you chose that person you stayed with that person. You need to ask what's wrong with you so you don't do it again. you can't bash your ex without bashing yourself. Same with Amber she was a dummy for choosing him and staying with him if he was so cruel.
One of the best books on the topic is by author Martha Stout "The sociopath next door." She says the number one trait indicating sociopathy is called "Pity ploy". This involves "a manipulation tactic where a sociopath abuses or exploits someone, then pretends to be the victim when they are called out.
"The sociopath relies on people's natural desire to help those they pity to get what they want without being seen as a villain."
Omg!.. you are describing my husband!.. I left him more than 20 years ago.
No wonder I felt completely emotionally drained 😢
Living with two really traumatized me. Never want to admit flaws keep on pointing to others.
Dated one for five years...was awful! But I kept making excuses for him. Finally I wised up and walked away, but it's really funny that even 3 years after he would greet me in the street like we were best mates! Like nothing terrible had happened, and never once acknowledged that it was his fault or apologised for his appalling behaviour...I just ignore him now x
You need to block him on everything mine still tried to contact after 11 years out of blue be careful. Even on whatsapp and any friends you mutually have i had to block them all he would use any person he could to get to me for sympathy or to order from my business as a way to sneak back into contact , you live close beware if he is being nice do not beleive it
I literally just cut off a friend because he was acting like a sociopath. Everyone was the problem and not him. Manipulating his roommates into given him money or sex. Impulsive buying. Inappropriate behavior. I wish I could tell his roommates to leave while they can before he takes every thing from them, but they won't listen. He's good at manipulating emotions. He almost got me. My gut was telling me to leave so I did. I'm glad I did.
Not everybody want you to interfere with others peoples life
Some people prefer a private life
Some people they post their problems in social media which is wrong
Great tips! This is why you have to be very careful who you get involved with - because they could possibly ruin your life, and the career that you’ve worked so hard for.
And this is also why you have to pay really close attention early on in the relationship, to see if you can spot any red flags before it’s too late. I’m sure John Depp wish he had - now!
Anyway, that’s my two cents.

Yes . You save them from drowning. You are left for the tsunami . They do not understand reciprocation. It's only about winners & losers.For them, Winners take all.
For real- the one I knew would manipulate everyone and somehow find loopholes in everything. They told my apartment I wasn’t living there because they’re now my “caretaker”, lost my job that although not the best was still enjoyable and had friends, wiped out my savings too- total nightmare.
They even manipulated their own family members so as to get money…
But the question is how do you know for sure? The signs here “may be” signs of a sociopath. But if you notice these behaviors and jump to the conclusion you’re dealing with a sociopath, you “may be” unnecessarily creating an enemy where none previously existed. Knowing when to give the benefit of the doubt is a necessary life skill, and pop psychology is a perfect example of the old adage, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
Question them about the concern, a sociopath will respond by staring right through you and changing the subject.
You are surely a sociopath.

This is my mom all day long, especially the redundant mistakes🙄🙄🙄. I don't know how the Lord kept me safe while growing up under that dunce cap.
I used to be baffled by the not learning from mistakes thing and would often say 'the first sign of madness is making the same mistake over and over to see if it will go right'. One of xxx's catch phrases is 'It should do' and he really never sees why it then 'doesn't do' .
Or an easy way to tell is by questioning one if they are, they will stare straight through you and change the subject.
Most people have something wrong with them,me too but I try to work on it
I think it's important to find things to appreciate about others and tell them. I can see how it could come off as "flattery" but I'm not going to stop doing it just because people mistake sincere appreciation for ass kissing.

You should study former U.S. Senator, presidential nominee and Secretary of State John Kerry. He got the act goofy thing down and it helped him get along with (though also deceive) all the little normies. I would call Kerry more of a narcissist than a sociopath though. But the routine ends up being about the same. Then again, he was in politics, where touchy-feely flies. Especially if you are positioned as a liberal Democrat, where you have to pretend that you care about the downtrodden.
I am sure it is different in business, although a little fake empathy is in order there too.

Im not a psychologist or shrink... I've just been looking into human behaviours since leaving my ex 2•5yrs ago - he ticks every single box for being a sociopath & covert narcissist
Lived with a sociopath for eighteen years. Didn’t know it for a long time; though I was getting red flags. I know all this about them now. Thank you for informing those who don’t know these traits about a sociopath.
I was married to one and did he tick ALL of these boxes... I twigged him a few weeks into our marriage but too late for this little fly trapped in his alluring spiders web, but that was just the tip of the iceberg on what was to become for me and my family's a nightmare's journey into hell... One word of advice, never, ever confront a sociopath about something - they turn into exceptionally nasty and dangerous people as I was to unfortunately find out. After I kicked him out and got my divorce going, he went on to his next "girlfriend" sorry, I should say victim and repeated the same trick over again exactly the same modus operandi and then after that with the next girl...
As someone who was diagnosed with ASPD I can 100% confirm these r all real sociopathic signs but coming from my perspective we don't all mean harm and mean evil it's how our brains r wired I wanna get attached to my friends but it feels impossible to form a real bond hell it even feels impossible to form a bong wit family members I wanna keep a job and make a good career for myself but it bores me very easily I wanna feel and relate to ppl but sometimes I truly just can't bring myself to actually care about what they're saying trust me I fucking wish I didn't have to live wit this shit I'm not dogging the creator on how he made it out like were bad guys bc even if we don't believe it we kinda can be but some ppl wanna be normal but they just aren't and most the time it stems from deep rooted trauma great vid nonetheless tho I enjoyed it it's very accurate to atleast my symptoms and how I am as a person without the sinister undertone
I would assume you had a relatively stable upbringing then. The problem is, that there is a lot we don't know about the development/causes of antisocial personality disorder. Not all with ASPD will become serial killers. There is some experience and research that indicates a lack of physical touch early on in life, 0-1.5 years of age I believe the range is, can severely alter the nervous system, with a lack of vasopressin release to tune the nervous system, plus the stress of not having needs met, can leave it being muted. Babies who experience this no longer react instinctively to pain. Therefore you get the "lack of care," present in ASPD. But there are also potential genetic factors that could contribute to it as well. It's a complicated thing. Videos like this are designed for clicks, suitable for surface-level suggestions for signs, but that's it.
Heyyo, can you tell me how is the diagnosis done??? Like how are the tests conducted etc to diagnose someone of Aspd?
@@sushreeswain1554 Don’t know off the top of my head but search “dsm 5 criteria for aspd,” and you should get the criteria for it. Tests are usually questions to evaluate one’s disposition on a variety of things.
@@Theendman42 a sociopath or psychopath may give wrong answers on the test knowingly to be diagnosed as normal?? I had that doubt
@@Theendman42 Not all? Try most won't. Most sociopaths are not criminals. Also, most serial killers and killers in general are psychopaths. There's a big difference. Psychopaths just simply cannot connect with people at all, and get thrills from manipulating others, sometimes even harming people. Not saying there isn't sociopath killers, but most sociopaths simply are not. ASPD can be exasperated from trauma as well. If you were already pre-disposed for it and go through very extreme trauma, your anti social behavior sky rockets. I was raped by my brother growing up, was bullied throughout my entire childhood, got addicted to meth/heroin, but it was when I accidentally killed someone driving high that sent me over the edge. There have only been a few people in my life I actually have connected with and became attached too, but it's a very selfish form of it. I am not mean or cruel, in fact I am down right too nice because I am desperate to keep them with me. Eventually things deteriorate because I become an emotional burden because I can't control my emotional states in relationships. Again, never am mean or violent, I despise violence actually. Most notably I don't really care about most people in my life. Most of my family I can't stand... Most of my friends I can't stand either. It's lonely...
What this video described is someone with narcissistic personality disorder not a socialpath unless they have both disorders and that will make them a malignant narcissist.
Strongly agree with you! I'm stalked by nasty people who are exactly maglignant narcissists.
I knew one. the term 'narcissistic (because they are deeply egocentric) sociopath' is preferred because nothing is ever their fault, there is alot of drama around them and hurt those they are supposed to love, and often will do that for sport.
I think one of my sisters is a malignant narcissist.
Sociopaths and narcissists have a lot in common.
I think that’s why my mother and one of my sisters bond so well.
I was thinking the exact same thing, except narcs experience guilt and shame, so they do any and everything to avoid those feelings. But, they do it in a toxic, unhealthy and backwards way.
@@theosaka69 That's very very true. Sociopaths lack a conscious whereas narcissists have over inflated egos and extremely low ability tolerate shame of any kind. I did do some research about sociopaths a few years ago and learned that sociopaths and their behavior are rooted in genetics. Narcissism is different on the other hand as narcissism is the direct of result poor parenting.
@@happycat0411wrong. Psychopaths are rooted in genes, because as the name claims, it's a *psycho*path. Sociopaths can have a predisposition, but are generally created due to trauma, so not genetically bound. There are three types of sociopaths. Those hotheads like from the movies that go around a cause chaos, sociopaths who simply enjoy chaos, though as an observational hobby whilst not being involved unless required, and who use the disorder as sort of a superpower, where they make good connections, and even can make friends. To elaborate, sociopaths can understand emotions very well and can feel them, though extremely shallowly, because they had emotions but something cut them off. There is also a high chance that a sociopath is unable to communicate their own emotions. Same goes for empathy, though if they feel it it's usually rationalised and not, well, "emotional". These are self aware, high-functioning sociopaths. And yeah, there's the third kind, those that are ashamed, as per say, of themselves, hence they turn to therapy because they want to escape it. Then again, there are obviously those with a predisposition, who've learned emotions to fit in. A friend of mine is a sociopath, a predispositioned one, I believe, who studies psychology and is very good at it, a natural. He claims that there's chance that I'm a high-functioning one, in a way partially confirming my self diagnosis.
It's a fine line at times. Sociopaths seem to have more problems outside the home, such as work or social settings.
They know damn well what they do is wrong! You can almost hear their evil laugh as theyre looking at you with their sociopath grin as to say "prove it". Its scary to me just how many sociopaths there seems to be. Like the ones who run the world for example...
Everything is accurate. But, pscycopaths and narcissists have the same traits. It could be confusing to tell the difference. In my opinion, this video needs a little more to differ for the two mentioned above. For instance, sociopaths are more explosive than pscychopaths. And unlike narcissists they wont mess with you if you dont mess with them. You dont even exist to sociopaths and pscycopaths if you dont have any of interest for them. Unlike a narcissist, if they see you as a threat, they will try to eliminate you. I know this from personal experience. I have four narcissists in my famiy.
Im too much of a narcissist to care if im a sociopath...
Funny!
Lol
Aspd here, this video is very accurate on the symptoms and behavior associated with sociopathy(aspd) just don’t forget we are still people with struggles and problems
I'm not a sociopath but I know people can't help it, I agree with you , you're a human being and you don't deserve to be hated by the world
I looooove how they used a picture of Amber Heard. That is just priceless! 😂😂😂💀💀💀
viiews.
Secret sociopaths are often covert narcissists cloaked as vulnerable
a covert narcissist is the same thing as a vulnerable narcissist.
It’s unfortunate when that person happens to be a family member. I feel pulled in different directions during inflated family drama. My instinct is to be honest about my perspective, but that tends to escalate it. If I simply affirm everything, I keep the peace, but I’m sacrificing true nature to seek truth. I don’t agree with the model of “cutting out all toxic people.” It sounds like the easier choice, but not the right one.
Watch for complimenting everyone and anyone! Anyone!
On the flip side/at the same time, watch as they do stuff for you but treat their family and friends they have known FOR YEARS like garbage.
They always treat new people like gold and dismiss their family.
If someone has bad contact with their family, it's because the family was toxic?

Oh man I might be one of these. Is this a bad thing? I try to use my power for good 😄 ❤️ always sharing and doing what I can to help anyone. 🤔
That makes you a pragmatic empath.
From this comment I can tell you, you are definitely not a sociopath
Im an empath and these folks so often see me as an easy mark because of the emotional nature of empaths . But, being who I am, I see them as though they have a yellow caution light on their heads. So I listen and smile and nod my head, and the instant they walk away, I wipe them and our conversation away like a milk mustache. They think they've " touched my heart " when in reality they have had no effect on me, my life or my decisions. It's taken me 65 years to get here. ALOT of pain in my youth. Not really their fault. We are who we are. No grudges. I've just learned to take things and humans as they come. It's up to me to protect myself. I just prefer to do it with a smile. Have an incredible day. EVERYDAY!!!
Misogynistic abuse is a symptom of sociopathic behaviour.
When they always say you’re gaslighting them but you’re just calling them out on their bs 🙄…they hate the truth or the past. They horrible to date or have a relationship with, the insane amount of lies they tell themselves is unreal!!!!
I usually refer to a sociopath as a narcissist, but really should be using both terms.
Everyone is capable or has exhibited these traits, it’s natural to the human being. We are conditioned with a moral code and that’s the only reason we try so hard to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people.
I was thinking of “Heard” fitting the profile for NPD.
And HPD
She's the poster child of hitting all 4 cluster B personality disorders.
I think depp is covert NPD and heard is BPD -- classical combo
Guilt and remorse are two different things .
Very much appreciated 👍🏿 for this video. Trust me I realllllyyyyyy needed this
Living with one. It sucks. I hate it. I want to leave this spring. I will leave this spring. Pray I make it.
A true sociopath knows how to personality mirror and manipulate elusively. But they will make people believe that they are a "different kind of crazy." Because people like people who remind them of themselves.

I can actually look into people's eyes and not shy away like I used to(o)
Truest words ever spoken. Excellent video.
So far this is the best explanation of what is a Sociopath. Now I'm aware that I'm dealing with one at home.
My ex girlfriend is a malignant narsassistic sociopath with a large dash of psycho on top.
Dear James Guitar. I've experienced the same personality traits with my own father. So I can see exactly where you're coming from.
This is great I know this all to well cause I live with a sociopath I believe that I might be a sociopath as well but I can see a sociopath as well from a mile away, anyways God bless everyone who comes across this comment ✝️🕊️🙌🎚️
Why do you think you are a sociopath? Just asking because usually sociopaths aren’t aware of their disorder. They see themselves as perfectly normal.
My Ex Is a Narcissist but I also believe he is a Sociopath/psychopath. So many issues to list. DangerousEvil man.
Yup, my sister is a sociopath
It's harder to distinguish cause people blend in
I love how the thumbnail shows amber turd as the poster girl for sociopaths hehehe 😉
Well, I've certainly been guilty of much of this behavior. Being aware helps and don't act that way anymore. I do feel guilt and shame, have and still know others who don't really. It's unsettling.
Hey that's me! Except I don't manipulate and when I screw up I admit it. I feel bad if I hurt someone and have no hidden motives. I guess just the first one I tend to have more knowledge then the average person also why do I have to worry about everyone's feeling.
She is a sociopath for sure and not a psychopath. Both are bad but...sociopaths are not as smart as psychopaths. Psychopaths are really really scary. Sociopaths rage outwardly.
Good description of our elite except they'r really strong at calculating
I have somebody in my class who I suspect is a sociopath because he always thinks his math is right even if the teacher is right and it happens everyday. He shows no remorse and he lies a lot. He also says people don’t like him and he doesn’t know why it’s because he thinks he has no flaws. He also always argues with our teachers.
Loved that thumbnail xD
Top top top, I was waiting for this topic 🤩🔥👍🏾
Y’all really put Amber Heard picture on it😭
Amber Heard did wear a 666 necklace to court, she is connected to Hollywood, though Hollywood is almost worshiped as role models, on their best behavior at award ceremonies and such you never know when behavior outside the norm, someone will get punched in the face, die of drug overdose, nudity will happen by mistake. I don't trust how media portrays show trial and everyone is expected to hop on the wagon. The whole thing seems toxic in my opinion
She was diagnosed with HBPD. She is not a sociopath.
On the other hand you can certainly tell Johnny is though, especially being friends with Maralyn Manson.
Amber Heard: the new face of sociopathy. That's some funny ass shit right there. I hope she's happy 😂😂😂
Roflmfao 😅
My sociopath sister will praise no one. Her plans are pre determined and will lie cheat and steal to meet her target.
