Thank you, I've heard of this woman before. I like what she does but the amount of slack she gets online is insane. Every time she does something all the comments are about how she's "manipulating you" and how "sociopaths are evil". The way our society demonize cluster B personality disorders is deplorable.
A common example is Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho'. From what I've seen Bateman is obsessed with how he's seen by others and is prone to having power fantasies. He seems more NPD to me. I don't really care how I look anymore then any other woman does.
This isn't a stupid question at all. Also, yeah pretty much. It's like, "what do you want me to do about it?". If I am in a situation where I have to empathize with someone then what I'll do is listen to their problem and console them when I can.
I can care about people. I love and care about people like my friends, siblings, boyfriends and parents. I can feel love but I just can't empathize with them. Even if I didn't care about others I wouldn't gain anything from hurting them the way a sadist would.
As they should. TikTok is a goldmine then it comes to $hit mental health content.
A doctor or vet. I always see doctors/vets talking about how hard it is to deal with other peoples emotions. Plus it pays well.
Not really a trick. It's more being rude if anything.
No because I'm not a sadist. I don't know where you got that idea from?
Not really. Having a mental illness doesn't make you a professional on that mental illness anymore then breaking a leg would make you a professional on broken bones.
That we're all serial killers. ASPD isn't going to make you a serial killer more than anyone other personality disorder. Also, that we're all abusers and can't be trusted.
Honestly there isn't that many accurate stereotypes about people with ASPD. It's been so demonised in the media and pop psychology. The Idea people get of ASPD usually comes from sensationalist movies or TV shows.
No, I haven't. It's far too stigmatized to just casually admit something like that. Maybe if they were really close to me.
It was recommended by a counsellor from my old school. Plus, I thought it would be interesting to learn about myself.
I gave my mom 20$ for her birthday.
What's the biggest misconception about your disorder?
. Did it take any getting used to?
. What are some industry secrets?
. What type of person do strip clubs attract?
. I heard strip clubs can be pretty shady. Can you confirm?
. Where you invested in being an entertainer before this?
. Did you ever get bullied?
. Where there any other super seniors?
. What was it like to be so old in high school?
. What's your favourite dance move?
. What made you want to do burlesque?
. Is burlesque the only thing you perform?
. Where do you get your clothes from?
. How much prep does your act take?
A vague concept is the best way to put it. I can understand the concepts on a intellectual level but I just don't feel them. Like, I can understand regretting something because it hurt someone else but I don't know how you can feel someone else's pain. It's the same for guilt. ASPD gives you an extremely short time preference. If I make a bad decision once I'm done dealing with the consequences I don't really think about it. The future is in the future so why really care and the past is the past. It's for this reason I don't feel anything for the people involved.
I understand this isn't a good way of thinking about things. I understand I need to improve myself to stop these toxic patterns of thinking. I now make that I not only learn from my mistakes but put what I learnt into practice.
I may not feel empathy or guilt like a normal person but I can learn my short commings and work on them and at the end of the day that's what being a good person is all about.
