I am a psych nurse. I've seen sociopaths "in action." He is very self aware and I truly doubt he is being manipulative on this video. Kudos to him and his therapist. He is aware enough to know he needs to seperate himself from others to keep others safe, FROM HIM.

I like how he mentioned that emotions are trumped by logic, and then they use that logic to recreate emotion. Like someones grandma dying, you don't feel it, but you do understand what your response should be. It sounds exhausting tbh.

Shout out to his therapist for helping him find and know himself on such a deep level. And major shout out to to him for being brave enough to take that journey into self discovery and awareness.

Imagine if everyone in the world was THIS self aware. His honesty and self awareness is beyond me

When do You hear about sociopaths? When they do something bad. You never hear about the way they live and the life they have before they break down. These people don't appear out of nowhere, they are real and have history. It's important to know them and for them know themselves. Shout out to this guy for being Brave and sharing part of his story

He's so intelligent that I couldn't let go of my skepticism that he is actively manipulating and answering with what he thinks we want to hear.

He seems like a lovely lad. He's aware of his negative behaviour and is being responsible.
He didn't choose to have these conditions but he's doing his best to navigate through life. I wish him all the best.

It’s shocking to see how unprepared our world is to treat people with this kind of disorders, and also to make a room for them. There’s so much we haven’t figured out yet…

if everybody implemented this level of self-reflection, the world would be a much better place

It breaks my heart that his solution is basically just limit social interactions. It’s important to remember that sociopaths are victims as well, to their own brains. Often due partially to horrible childhood circumstances. I hope he’s doing relatively well. None of us would trade brains with him in a heartbeat. No one asks to have an abnormal brain.

He's intelligent and self-aware. There are so many "regular" people who are neither.

“When you’re quiet as a person to they kinda forget you’re there” true, you can obtain a lot of info just by being silent and observing

I respect that he did this interview. He didn’t have to. He is clearly very intelligent. It seems that he has a good therapist who genuinely is trying to make his quality of life better.

People like him are exactly why I say that being a good person has nothing to do with who you are, but your actions. He's actively trying to prevent himself from causing harm to other people even though he doesn't have the emotional understanding or empathy to fully know why, while many 'normal' people like him wouldn't be able to do the same. Respect

I am a Mental health therapist and OMG i have a teen client who speaks and acts like him. They are so self-assured! I just told him this in our session. This young man is so well spoken, and I do believe he is being honest. I enjoyed this video!

@curiositykilledthecat6538 5 years ago

It's so hard to find videos of people with antisocial personality which makes learning about it hard. That's why this video is so valuable because we get to see it from their perspective.
