hope you still like me after these

0:01

stories

0:10

hey guys it's kanika welcome back to my

0:12

channel today i'll be discussing why

0:14

sociopaths psychopaths and other

0:16

individuals with aspd hurt others make

0:20

sure you stick to the end for some

0:22

not so nice stories about my childhood

0:25

it's some of the more shocking and

0:26

savage stuff i've done so far i've

0:28

changed though i promise the first and

0:31

foremost reason sociopaths hurt people

0:34

is also quite ironic it happens to be

0:37

loneliness so the actions that push

0:40

people away are coming from a longing

0:42

for love affection and attention during

0:45

childhood a lot of cluster bees have had

0:47

to endure abuse abandonment or cold and

0:49

callous families that punish emotions

0:52

and encourage neglect a good way for me

0:54

to describe this loneliness is picturing

0:56

a person on the outside of a window pane

0:58

looking in we're in a world that doesn't

1:00

understand us and initially we don't

1:02

understand it we can see happiness and

1:05

belonging we can see jubilation and

1:07

emotions we're not accustomed to but we

1:09

want the same feeling everybody else has

1:12

when we don't feel it we fake it and it

1:14

becomes tiresome and exhausting if we

1:16

don't fake it people would begin to hate

1:19

us and the isolation would be further

1:21

fueled essentially it would ensure that

1:23

we remain lonely as nobody would want to

1:25

be around us bitterness and a lack of

1:27

empathy remorse and a developing boredom

1:30

and violence can have catastrophic

1:32

results low functioning sociopaths find

1:34

it incredibly difficult to recognize the

1:37

source of this loneliness and do not

1:40

place blame on themselves for their

1:41

antisocial and often illegal behavior

1:44

they lash out at every opportunity and

1:46

have no accountability a high

1:48

functioning sociopath or psychopath will

1:50

build on the accumulative experiences

1:52

and recognize how best to navigate them

1:55

we are able to control ourselves for the

1:57

most part but eventually we crack and

1:59

decide to make people feel what we feel

2:01

this would likely be a planned attack

2:03

which could cause mass destruction to

2:05

those around us but sometimes we

2:07

struggle to contain the impulses in

2:09

boredom comparatively we focus on the

2:12

end goal while low function sociopaths

2:14

do not stretch their vision past the

2:16

present moment for example ted bundy

2:18

calculated his plan to exact revenge on

2:21

his ex-girlfriend for causing him

2:22

immense loneliness and carried out a

2:24

plan over two whole years a lower

2:26

functioning sociopath would not have

2:28

this patience or skill they would likely

2:30

burst sooner and would not plot this

2:32

well the second reason why we hurt

2:35

people is that it helps us get ahead in

2:38

a corporate or competitive setting we do

2:40

not see people as people we see them as

2:43

targets or roadblocks in our path and

2:46

often the easiest solution is to just

2:48

take out the competition with as much

2:49

force and aggression as possible

2:51

spreading rumors or other negative

2:53

information that may or may not be true

2:56

gaslighting sycophancy at the expense of

2:59

others being two-faced and manipulative

3:01

and making outright shocking claims and

3:03

allegations that have no basis in

3:05

reality are just a small amount of

3:08

tactics that people with aspd use to get

3:11

our way without violence or other

3:13

physical force i did a fair bit of this

3:15

in my younger years particularly in my

3:17

career as a student politician i had to

3:19

backstab a lot of friends and i mean a

3:21

lot and i was surrounded by men with

3:24

aspd traits while it's not a great thing

3:27

to boast about at least i wasn't as bad

3:29

as the guy who betrayed his own mother

3:32

creating an atmosphere of fear with

3:34

implied threats and underhanded schemes

3:37

allows us to take control of power and

3:39

to use it in a way to intimidate

3:41

competitors from crossing us a perpetual

3:44

state of fear keeps people submissive

3:47

pliable and easy to remove when

3:49

necessary we must also remember that

3:51

high-functioning sociopaths often will

3:53

use charm charisma and benevolence to

3:56

get their way it's the ultimate strategy

3:59

to encourage subservience and devotion

4:01

low-functioning sociopaths are often

4:03

unable to enter the corporate

4:04

environment and would often be using

4:06

their traits to manipulate in the

4:08

streets with violence instead of being

4:10

in a boardroom the third reason

4:12

sociopaths hurt people is because we are

4:14

bored this doesn't necessarily mean we

4:17

are bored of you as a person though i

4:19

must admit it is true in many many cases

4:22

boredom makes us restless agitated

4:24

depressed those who lack self-awareness

4:26

potentially violence we get bored of

4:29

people and situations very easily

4:32

especially when we start to understand a

4:34

person and see how predictable and

4:36

uninteresting they really are we like

4:38

mystery and thrills not routines not

4:40

schedules not seeing the same person

4:42

repetitively and doing the same things

4:45

for me personally i tire of emotional

4:48

people and vulnerability within a couple

4:50

of weeks and i'm always looking for a

4:52

new experience my sporadic interest in

4:55

people's wanes as soon as i know their

4:57

reactions and motivations chaos is

4:59

exciting what we have to do to create it

5:01

is what hurts people it's not the pain

5:04

of others that we find exciting the

5:06

drama and unpredictability that goes

5:08

hand in hand with that some examples

5:11

include again starting rumors

5:12

emotionally manipulating people by

5:14

playing hot and cold toying with

5:16

people's emotions to see how they'll

5:17

react or burst creating hostile

5:20

environments where others are

5:21

self-conscious triangulating or playing

5:24

people off one another to watch leading

5:26

people on by offering fake promises of

5:28

love and affection and callous

5:30

destruction of their wants and needs

5:32

make sure to stay till the end to hear

5:34

my unsanitized stories the fourth reason

5:37

is our inherent need to have control and

5:40

the ability to callously discard others

5:43

there is no better way to keep a person

5:45

compliant and on their toes than showing

5:47

them how easily they can be replaced or

5:50

dropped this cycle begins during the

5:52

love bombing stage where we aren't

5:54

necessarily showing affection to

5:56

manipulate others we genuinely do get

5:59

excited when we meet new people and

6:00

romantic interests and we tend to over

6:03

share this because we cannot

6:05

self-regulate love and joy however this

6:08

love and affection wears off quite

6:10

quickly often when we found someone else

6:13

to explore and this is when our interest

6:16

becomes weaponized the best way to

6:18

explain this parable is imagining love

6:21

and attention as a shower initially for

6:24

us the tap is on full blast for the new

6:26

person and they feel all of our love and

6:28

gestures of kindness then it begins to

6:31

deteriorate to the point where they are

6:33

starting to beg the simple droplets of

6:36

our attention and are grateful for

6:38

smaller and smaller acts on our part we

6:41

enjoy this control and will use it as

6:43

often as we can as it creates a feeling

6:46

of omnipotence and power it's also a

6:49

feature of dark psychology that creates

6:51

obsessions and insecurities in those

6:53

around us i will explain this further in

6:55

another video the fifth reason

6:57

sociopaths hurt people is the lack of

6:59

usefulness and value that we can see in

7:02

the people in our lives low functioning

7:03

sociopaths make it very obvious that

7:06

they are leading parasitic lifestyles

7:08

and choose their partners and friends

7:10

for the benefits that they bring they

7:12

are shockingly transparent in the way

7:14

they do this and people are thrown off

7:16

by their manner and run as they probably

7:19

should high-functioning sociopaths are

7:21

more logical when it comes to evaluating

7:23

we weigh the pros and cons of someone

7:26

being in our lives and of course we see

7:28

relationships as transactional so when

7:30

we realize that we're putting an effort

7:32

for no clear reward we lose interest in

7:34

that person as terrible as this sounds

7:37

if someone brings nothing of value to us

7:39

we will drop them and we won't be too

7:42

friendly about it either it is

7:43

dehumanizing as there's no inherent

7:46

value in other humans it must be earned

7:48

and it must be shown high-functioning

7:50

sociopaths do tend to still live

7:52

parasitic lifestyles but have the

7:54

ability to be subtle about it

7:56

manipulation tends to come in handy as

7:58

we can show that we are doing more than

8:00

we actually are in order to extract more

8:03

attention affection resources benefits

8:06

from the other person this means that we

8:08

don't need force or physical violence

8:10

when low functioning people do the sixth

8:13

reason is that we are often overcome

8:15

with rage and anger we have a very very

8:18

low tolerance for frustration and small

8:21

things that would be a minor

8:22

inconvenience to neurotypicals could be

8:25

terribly overwhelming for us for example

8:28

if we want to go do something like go to

8:30

a specific movie or go to a certain

8:32

restaurant and the person with us won't

8:34

comply a rage begins to form and i

8:37

believe this is from the inherent

8:39

entitlement most sociopaths have we

8:41

become infuriated that someone doesn't

8:43

want to do something that we want to do

8:45

our control appears to be declining

8:48

alongside our value when someone is

8:51

misbehaving per se we have a number of

8:54

tactics we can deploy that have

8:55

surprising efficacy silent treatment and

8:58

passive aggressive behavior depriving

9:00

the person of the usual amount of

9:02

attention and love they receive

9:04

gaslighting creating jealousy by using

9:06

another person as a tool to be trotted

9:09

out and be lavished with the attention

9:11

your partner is craving lower

9:12

functioning sociopaths will often resort

9:15

to domestic violence tactics of

9:17

intimidation and they will strive to

9:20

create fear and uncertainty they will

9:22

also not allow the other person to speak

9:24

or get their point across and this

9:26

eventually leads to frustration

9:29

obedience and deference is soon to

9:31

follow the seventh reason is simply that

9:34

sociopaths do not care and get tired of

9:37

keeping up a facade to put it bluntly

9:40

people with aspd have a hard time seeing

9:42

other people as fully autonomous humans

9:44

that have needs and desires and

9:46

ambitions we tend to believe that the

9:48

world is well ours and our needs

9:51

supersede those of others people are

9:53

sometimes seen as inanimate objects

9:55

conquests assets liabilities or

9:58

roadblocks as i mentioned earlier this

10:01

encompasses all aspects of our lives and

10:03

relationships romantic platonic and

10:06

corporate we have so many masts that we

10:09

must wear a unique one for each

10:11

relationship as we are obviously social

10:13

chameleons we have to change our

10:15

personalities to meet our end goal from

10:18

each person the desires of others are

10:20

only relevant

10:21

to us when we want to extract something

10:24

from them it becomes easy to placate

10:26

them if we indulge their needs and offer

10:29

our benevolence and when we have no more

10:31

use for them we absolutely do not care

10:34

about them as people and it isn't from a

10:36

place of callousness but to us it's

10:38

similar to being done playing with a

10:40

certain toy we found something new and

10:42

shiny and it's time for us to leave the

10:44

mass begins to become too bolsome and

10:47

heavy to carry along with us and we just

10:49

want space and the ability to be

10:51

ourselves in our natural state in our

10:53

downtime being forced to leave our real

10:56

selves where they exist is painful and

10:59

can cause long-term depression or other

11:01

mood disorders and the baggage of other

11:03

people isn't viable any longer

11:05

high-functioning sociopaths will remove

11:07

people from their life swiftly and

11:09

mostly without pain the person may be

11:11

manipulated into thinking it is their

11:13

idea to extricate themselves therefore

11:16

fewer feelings are hurt while discarding

11:18

can be fulfilling we have enough

11:20

foresight to see the possible

11:22

complications of it low functioning

11:24

people do not so now on to the stories

11:26

from my past hope you still like me

11:28

after these stories

11:30

okay so i have this story from my

11:33

childhood it was when i was i think i

11:35

was 11 or so and my parents took me to

11:38

india with my brother to visit my

11:40

grandparents and my other relatives and

11:42

when i got there we have a tenant on one

11:45

of our floors right basically that woman

11:47

she took me out to the shops and she

11:49

bought me barbie dolls and like little

11:51

outfits that i wanted and i was really

11:53

really happy and i was just like

11:54

absolutely thrilled because my parents

11:56

like refused to spoil us to that point i

11:58

don't really understand my reasoning

12:00

behind why i did what i did but when i

12:04

got home and i had all my toys my

12:06

outfits and stuff that she had bought i

12:09

wrote this letter to her and it wasn't a

12:11

good letter

12:13

i said it was from the gardener which of

12:16

course was difficult at the time because

12:19

the gardeners and manual laborers in

12:21

india don't tend to speak english and

12:23

certainly don't write it i told her to

12:26

go and

12:26

[Music]

12:28

herself i threatened physical violence

12:30

and i messed up some things on her

12:33

stairs with oil which would eventually

12:35

cause a very significant fall and

12:38

eventually led to further incidents that

12:41

involved quite a lot of stairs she came

12:43

down she didn't slip on the oil and told

12:45

my mum what i had done and my mother was

12:47

so furious i had no explanation because

12:50

i just thought it was fun i just liked

12:52

causing a bit of trauma and drama and

12:54

like tension in these personal

12:55

relationships and i guess she was very

12:57

confused as to why i would threaten her

13:00

with violence for her doing a nice thing

13:02

and i don't understand it either so i

13:04

have a funnier story it wasn't too long

13:07

ago i was like 23 or 24. so i got a job

13:10

in the whit sundaes because i thought

13:12

i need to get out of sydney i'm

13:13

sick of this place i want to go to warm

13:15

weather and so i got myself this cool

13:17

ass job so i land there and the next

13:20

morning i have to go to work that

13:21

morning i get ready get my best outfit

13:23

get my makeup on and i go to work when i

13:25

get there it's in this dingy little

13:28

office with like no natural sunlight

13:30

it's just really really dull and

13:32

uninspiring so i decide that this is not

13:35

really the job i want to do anymore when

13:37

i was going to my lunch break i ended up

13:40

having these really strong stomach pains

13:42

and while they were real they were not

13:45

to the level that i was telling them

13:47

that they were at and so i told them i

13:49

was going home and by home i assumed

13:51

they thought that i meant my home but i

13:53

was staying but instead i just drove

13:56

straight to the airport took a flight

13:57

moved back to sydney and didn't tell

13:59

anybody anyway so a month later they

14:01

sent me a notice and said i've been

14:02

terminated from the job which i assumed

14:05

was the case anyway because i didn't

14:07

turn up for the next

14:09

month it was pretty funny at the time

14:11

and uh looking back i'm just like that

14:14

doesn't really make sense and i don't

14:15

know why i did that so this moves me on

14:18

to a boy who i will not name because i

14:22

think he watches this channel i broke up

14:25

with him over text because i didn't

14:27

really care about him at all and i just

14:29

didn't want to spend any time having to

14:31

see him because i'd found someone more

14:33

interesting he was absolutely devastated

14:36

i don't know why because we'd only been

14:38

on a couple of dates and i didn't like

14:39

him at all like i've known him since i

14:41

was in high school like year seven it

14:42

was never a real thing i only went out

14:45

with him because i was really bored

14:46

anyway so he is devastated and he comes

14:49

to my house and refuses to leave so he

14:52

was parked right outside my bedroom he

14:54

proceeded to sit there four hours

14:57

waiting for me to come out and break up

14:59

with him in person i also at this point

15:02

forgot that it was his birthday so on

15:04

his birthday he was sitting right

15:06

outside my house waiting for me to come

15:09

and make him feel better and not break

15:11

up with him which of course i did not do

15:13

it would have been better if i didn't do

15:16

this on his birthday but

15:18

what happened happened

15:20

okay to wrap up i need to explain that

15:23

these are the raw sentiments of

15:24

sociopathy and psychopathy and all of

15:27

what i've spoken about has the ability

15:29

to turn into abuse and heavy

15:30

manipulation when used for the wrong

15:33

reasons if it was being done to better

15:35

other people it could be more

15:37

understandable the behavior is toxic and

15:39

damaging to relationships which makes it

15:42

ultimately more destructive than a lot

15:45

of neurotypical relationships it is so

15:47

important to seek therapy and

15:49

self-awareness and to deny natural urges

15:51

to hurt and control people negatively if

15:54

an open dialogue is created we can

15:56

bounce ideas off one another and find

15:58

ways to channel our energy into

16:01

successful helpful endeavors selfish

16:04

gain can only be useful for so long and

16:07

the next you step on tend to come back

16:09

to haunt you i'm hoping you guys enjoy

16:11

the video and i'm excited to create new

16:14

content for you guys

16:25

you

Interactive Summary

The speaker, identifying as someone with sociopathic traits, discusses seven reasons why sociopaths, psychopaths, and individuals with ASPD may hurt others. These reasons include loneliness stemming from childhood neglect or abuse, the desire to get ahead in competitive environments, boredom and a need for thrill, an inherent need for control and the ability to discard others, a lack of perceived usefulness or value in others, overcome with rage and anger due to low frustration tolerance, and simply not caring and tiring of maintaining a facade. The speaker also shares personal anecdotes from childhood and young adulthood to illustrate these points, emphasizing that while these traits can be destructive, self-awareness and therapy can help channel these energies into more constructive endeavors.
