"The Psychopath, Sociopath, & How to Spot Them"..... i must have missed the part where they actually talk about spotting these individuals

“you’ve got to be your own gatekeeper” I needed this so much.

This video is inaccurately titled...

I'm a simple guy, I see Dr.Ramani I hit like.

Spotting a narc/gaslighter/abuser... observe their actions. Words are meaningless if their actions are not in alignment.

I love how she points out that our society is rewarding people with these conditions, rewarding people who hurt others to get ahead, to our own detrement. This is such a huge issue right now. We praise people who are rich and powerful and tend to overlook how they got there by exploiting others.

Some students had the golden opportunity to attend her lecture and were inattentive? Srsly...

“when we deal with REALITY, we can make better DECISIONS.” currently going through a pre trial of being assaulted from my sociopathic ex boyfriend, these videos are helping me very much. thank you

My BPD ex was in so much pain, but his abuse and explosive nature left me with PTSD and so, also the people that are in pain, DO cause pain for those around them. Feeling sorry for them is a great hook that keeps us on the line, so to speak and they reel us in and push us out til we think we are the crazy ones.

I watch MedCircle only because of Dr. Ramani but I couldn't tell why exactly. Thanks for explaining it for me... Dr. Ramani is brutally honest but humane. She chooses to remove all the warm and fuzzy useless stuff, in a way that is humane and not narcissistic.

Yes, we do love Dr. Ramani. It’s no wonder she’s booked out three months in advance. It’s just so easy and comfortable with her. :)

"People internalize those mocking voices".

I definitely did. I had OCD and could hear it inside putting me down for many years, fortunately I didn't take it seriously, but it was still deeply discomfortable.

I love her as if she were family. She is honest and she explains everything she is asked in a plain way. No arrogance. No medical therms. Just plain and honest answers. She is accurate and I watch every videos she is in and I hope I can change my bad behaviors and hope to not be or become a narcissist. Al respect to you guys. Thanks for the videos.

Love Dr. Ramani!💛😊👍🏼☀️

Dr. Ramani is definitely one of my favorites on the topic of Cluster B Personalities, how they harm people, and how to heal from their abuse.

@charliedallachie3539 6 years ago (edited)

My understanding: a psychopath can be either Michael Myers or a professional person in a suit. A sociopath could be the criminal down the street or the person you’re dating. It’s scary because they’re very intermixed. The key is empathy. Can they actually relate to you when you’re describing how you feel or to another person etc, if you feel like they’re just not “getting you” very often....that’s a red flag.

@ShubhraSwami 7 years ago

She is so charismatic......I can hear her talk all the time......there is nothing more sexier than a person who knows everything about what they are talking......😍😁

I was severely abused by a psychopath for 4 years and a narcissist for 2 years after that. I would love to share my story. I know how insanely dangerous it is and I’m lucky to be alive
