Iām Gregās wife. š
I think itās also important to note that ASPD is a spectrum. Not everyoneās journey will look like Gregās. He put a lot of work in to be where heās at, and Iām beyond proud of him. I think a lot of people with ASPD could also see improvements like Greg, but they donāt have the awareness that their thoughts & actions are creating their chaotic life.
Just know, you canāt change someone with ASPD. Itās an inside job. We donāt advise you wait around for them to āget betterā. They need to do that on their own. Greg and I broke up for 6 years from age 22 to 28. In that time, I found recovery and learned how to be more assertive and have boundaries. He, on the other hand, was in & out of jail and ended up doing a 3 year prison bid. That bid is where he got diagnosed & later entered therapy. We reconnected once he got out, but even then we still had some growing up to do.
All we ask is that you learn to love yourself first. We believe everyone is innately worthy of love. Thereās some older videos on my channel about ASPD, but Iām not Jubilee so donāt expect high quality haha.

I'm a mental health professional and it's crazy to me how much people get "disappointed" when real life sociopaths aren't like the scary ones they read in books, listen to on Spotify, or watch in their 8000 crime shows. Most "real ones" act pretty ordinary but their view on the social interactions is different given their lower level of emotion, empathy, and general interest in the interaction beyond what they can get out of it (transactional social interactions). Avoiding prison becomes the main reason to lay low and try to control impulses with mixed results. Many get into drugs and alcohol or feckless activities in order to "feel" something because their emotions are muted. Props to his wife for sticking by him as I'm sure it wasn't easy but it seems like he wants what's best for his son and to not have the ASPD develop as severely in his son, by trying to control the environment (which helps lessen severity of personality disorders).

The funny thing about his answer regarding "How do I know you haven't been lying to us?" is that convincing people it doesn't benefit you to lie is an amazing avenue towards manipulating someone. As a sociopath myself, I know I've used this exact method. I'm not suggesting he was lying by any means and that was actually the best way to answer the question as presented but it's definitely something people should be aware of when dealing with other individuals. The best liars will convince you they are bad liars or that it doesn't benefit them to lie to you.

I relate to this guy so much. I don't think I'm a sociopath but due to my neurodivergency I've always struggled with empathy to the point that anyone else who saw inside my head would probably consider me a sociopath. Many of the points that he makes really resonated deep with me, especially the one about how everyone has manipulated someone at some point in their life. To many, the idea of manipulating others seems like an absolutely terrible thing that only a monster would do, but in reality they probably do it themselves without realizing it.

He's not wrong about sociopaths not being inherently violent. A lot of anti scoial personality types get along very well in society. They get jobs in business, the sciences... government and other jobs where the lack of empathy come in handy. Ethical problems are a definite risk but some of them do very well.

I find that media has distorted the image of what sociopathy is severely. When you look at famous movie villains, they are often radical sociopaths. A perfect example is the Joker. Not all sociopaths have 0 disregard for human life. Most sociopaths are very normal people that struggle with social skills and rational decision making. Greg seems like a lovely guy. I hope everything turns out great for him, his wife and his son.

4:03 that's actually rational empathy, just as important as emotional empathy-which is our classic definition of empathy. It's genuinely unnerving to see people call those that lack emotional empathy monsters, when it was never a choice because that lack is due to genes or trauma. Also concerned by how he described himself as childlike, when you can be so much more than that without emotional empathy. It's a very useful tool, but i think it's even more admirable if your rational empathy and logic in general are so solid you can function normally without it.
The response of the girl with bangs about manipulation seemed to me unaware of how transactional relationships can be, regardless of how conscious you are of it. Props to her though for keeping an open mind and staying genuinely interested.
Us as outsiders fail psycho-sociopaths by isolating and alienating them this much, they deserve better, as people that never chose to have less emotional empathy.
