Comments by "VoidX" (@aus-li) on "I'm a Sociopath. Ask Me Anything." video.

Pathological liars is the worst kind of psychopathic trait. I unfortunately befriended too many of those individuals, and I definitely learned my lessons.

@jijitters Thank you for typing that all out, I really appreciate it! I strongly believe a lot of mental illnesses are aligned and have too many symptoms in common, which is why most people who are nuerodiveegent are forever lost in limbo with their own self-diagnoses and diagnosis from so-called professionals who all have differing opinions. I deal with depression, anxiety, and believe I have a decent amount of autism traits, such as intense OCD, sensitivity to noise, and desensitization. When I deal with my major depressive episodes, or even suicdial thoughts, all these criterias you mentioned come to light. Obviously what you feel seems to be on a daily basis, but I've had symptoms that depict the same existential dread and confusion. So, I really don't know, lol, and I don't think anyone will truly know the extent of our own human development, because things can go every which way, and I feel like nothing ever truly makes sense, since the human mind is so frantic throughout each day.

What do you feel, then? I'm genuinely curious.

It honestly sounds like he did it for attention, no? I’ve met quite a few psychopaths, and they never admitted they were. Also, wouldn’t he have cheated on you?
10
What are your symptoms of BPD? I'm very curious and would love to learn more.

What did you study in school? I am very curious since my therapist is young and doesn't know much about events associated with mental illness and domestic terrorism in the US.

@sezzybear1686 I disagree. I think it's very similar based on their lack of social cues and compassion.
3
It's a pop culture reference, sure, but it still makes a ton of sense since it's defined by a ton of symptoms.
3
@HouseMDaddict Yea, because you fully have to see the developments of a human to understand their mental illnesses. It always takes time and effort.
3
I highly suggest to do some more research on mental illness in general if you liked this video. Philosophy and psychology are interchangeable, so they can offer you a lot of perspective and can help you form your own opinions on these topics, because nothing is absolute with these terminologies, as the brain is always evolving.

@dreamelatte It is...according to history and the term itself. It's only recently they changed the term to specify the actual mental illness.
2
@captainoreo Yea, according to "recent studies". But the history still stems from the term "psychopathic".
2
@seanhayter7175 I think it could be based on the area, especially the cities. My ex was also a psychopath.
2
@HouseMDaddict But these terms have been used throughout history and still make sense. The only fallacy is that they're broad terms.
2
@HouseMDaddict Lol, yea, of course it's definitely used in a comical and exaggerated fashion, which of course downplays the seriousness of these illnesses.
2
It's all similar in terms of social cues and lacking essential emotions of compassion and accountability.
2
@zanecreed Is there any other symptoms besides that?
1
@sezzybear1686 From all the documentaries I’ve seen of children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum, there were many who were moderate or close near severe. And from I gathered is that some of them are not compassionate in most scenarios. But yes, I agree with the sociopath part.
1
@fatcatontario I've never met a "psychopath" who was "extremely intelligent", even though I've encountered a decent amount in my life. And never interacted with a sociopath I don't think. In my opinion, these "psychopaths" are the reason why I hate society and capitalism, they're not intelligent whatsoever according to their selfishness and lack of compassion.
1
@wolu9456 I have the exact same symptoms…interesting.
1
Where does that generalization even come from? Most people who are socially inept and awkward usually have a grudge against society in general, because they can never fully function in their own skin.
1
I completely disagree. The majority of psychopaths are abusive in many ways other than physical violence, they're consistently tearing down our society through power.
1
@MissAllspice Yes?
1
@Robust-d7u The ones that were specifically categorized under a psychopath, which included the pathological liar, most often a “positive charisma”, that leads to an adept manipulator and narcissistic. And all of them were violent and verbally abusing me with extreme highs or lows of distinguished tones that would be terrifying to the point of mental defeat and exhaustion. However, they were not the ones that are compulsive liars who tell “white lies” that could be an indication of childhood trauma.
1
@minaadel8530 Yea, trauma is complex depending on the individual, but for me, after a while of dealing with that toxicity from very similar individuals, my instincts changed and they became more refined. Since I’ve been through pretty bad life situations, I pretty much had to discipline myself harder every time I got used and abused.
1
@viktorpettersson9975 I don’t understand what you’re saying?
1
@babyimastar🤟🏼 It’s not though? I’ve literally went through experiences with those exact types.
1
@tatskamaster What I meant by “too many”, is the few I’ve encountered was far more than enough. And no, I wasn’t part of the problem, I genuinely thought they were my friends at the time, and I also didn’t have much respect for myself so I always got abused and taken advantaged of.
1
@tatskamaster Whatever you’re doing is not cool. You don’t use your ego as a weapon to judge someone with real ptsd and trauma issues. I was trying to share my story, but you don’t deserve anything from me.
1
@LetsIsekaiLife Hey! I know it’s a late reply but I did already explain most of it to two other commenters on here if you’re interested. But yea, most of what you said are real symptoms and I did deal with all that. And they did abuse me, but for some reason everyone else around me were in denial and ignoring what they were doing. I honestly think you need to develop critical thinking skills to really read an individual, because obviously it might take a while to fully understand who they’re and what they’re capable of.
1
@aysialee2465 Not true, as I was physically harmed by one out of the three.
1
@aysialee2465 Again, not true at all. Their lies have indeed hurt me and gave me horrible trauma, especially since I was already being abused by my parent (also being manipulated by lies). Therefore by being vulnerable, young and impressionable, it had a great impact on my psyche in the future, on top of being bullied by others. I also have autism, and what you’re saying sounds like a “phase”, otherwise those “lies” can become dangerous if it’s continued throughout their development. By defending your “family member”, it seems you don’t know much about this topic, never mind experiencing how consistent “lying”, no matter how tame or serious, is still detrimental to your overall mental health over time.
1
@thomasthegreatape808 I never said that?
1
@thomasthegreatape808 The word “trait” means exactly that. It doesn’t mean it applies to everyone in the spectrum.
1
@Rooskiiiiii I was desperate to make a friend since I got heavily bullied most of my life, also I was more trusting.
1
@Daveeeeeeyhowyoudoing No, it doesn’t, and I don’t find it funny. It’s all based on the environment where I grew up, constantly surrounded by horrible people, I was forced in those circumstances, which is how I got heavily bullied for no reason. I wasn’t a “attention seeker”. Living next to NYC is the problem, tons of shitty people with no morals or care for anything. All they do is use you and are very narcissistic. I cut off anyone who is immoral or toxic in my life. You’d be surprised how many people “hide” behind themselves, but they always slip up in some way, that’s why you gotta rely on your instincts.
1
@ChristoffRevan What do you mean?
1
@AllinWhenPlaying I have met more individuals who are “narcissistic psychopaths”, which is part of the “dark triad” theory, not part of ASPD. Yes, they can be great “actors” when they need to be, but they’re violent and love hearing themselves talk. I just had buck meeting these type and was often trapped by others as well (often the role of me being powerless based on my desperate home life). I kept everything inside and always wanted to be “nice”, which is something you can’t be much of these days.
1
@AllinWhenPlaying How are you not the “victim” if you’re emotionally vulnerable and desperate to achieve something positive in an already dysfunctional relationship? I have high standards and morals that I can’t sacrifice anymore, so I can’t be making naive emotionally mistakes, or waste my intelligence on those who only care about themselves.
1
@AllinWhenPlaying Dude, and I just told you that I’m trying hard not to be that person anymore, or fall into those traps. You’re using metaphors that sadly don’t represent reality. It doesn’t matter how confident you’re, it can be broken by an unfortunate circumstance. In other words: a relapse in reclusiveness or desperation is inevitable, even with a support system.
1
Why do you think you're?
1
@l.vlogs26 Psychpaths are the ones who are charismatic, sociopaths are more to themselves and are not as outgoing.
1
Why do you think it's "outdated"? Is still qualifies for the most part.
1
@dnapolyace6342 I've already researched psychology, sociology, and philosophy; and I lived with someone who had severe mental issues. Antisocial is still relevant in way that correlates with someone who is hesitant in making contact or having a meaningful relationship, which means they're mostly against talking in the first place.
1
@_amn2168 Well, I have some traits of autism, and one of them is not recognizing social cues.
