Vic, diagnosed as a psychopath, passes by. @VicThePath on TikTokuses social media platforms to spread awareness and information about the reality of ASPD.
Diagnosed as a psychopath, she spoke about her unique way of experiencing emotions.
Vick acknowledged at the beginning of the video that there is a great deal of misinformation online about psychopaths and their emotional abilities. She debunks the common misconception that people with ASPD have no emotions at all.
“Psychopath do I have feelings,” she declared. “If someone really didn’t feel anything, they would basically become a vegetable. There would be no reason to live, no reason to get out of bed in the morning, no reason to do anything.”
Vic explained that psychopaths, like everyone else, have motives, ambitions, and things that make them happy or sad. What’s more, your emotions become dull.
“I experience almost every emotion,” she said. “But how I express my emotions, I’m on a much lower level than the average person. It’s like all my feelings and emotions are silenced.”
She likened the feeling to the act of turning down the volume of a sound. The only things she sees diminished are emotions such as anger. The overall feel is there, but significantly reduced.
“The advantage of suppressed emotions is that you don’t react emotionally to things, but the disadvantage is that you can’t feel things and feel like you’re missing out on something,” says Vic. explained.
She revealed an emotion that she completely lacked.
She explained that there are emotions that she cannot feel or even conceptualize at all, such as empathy, love, regret, and anxiety. The concept of these emotions is “foreign” to her, and she struggles to understand what they really mean.
“When I think about these emotions, it feels like my brain is going through a blender,” she explained. “That’s like asking us to think of a color that doesn’t exist. It’s impossible because we’ve never experienced that color.”
Although she can understand what others mean when they express emotions such as regret or anxiety, she has never experienced it herself and has a hard time fully understanding it. he added.
Research backs up Vick’s claims This means that psychopaths can experience basic emotions such as sadness, anger, and even fear. They may not feel it as much as most people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to be felt.
Vic even admitted that he sometimes gets jealous that he may never truly understand the complexity of human emotions.
Diagnosed as a psychopath, she told how it triggered emotions that were difficult to express.
In response to a TikToker expressing curiosity about what makes her cry, Vic shared another video detailing how she experiences grief.
Vic explained that most traumatic or tragic events usually do not cause sadness for her. For example, her grandfather recently passed away, and even though she witnessed her family’s grief, the experience did not cause her sadness because she did not experience empathy or love.
However, this lack of love causes Vic sadness.
“One of the saddest things in my life is the fact that I have never loved anyone, never been in love, and don’t know if I ever will.” Until now Please fall in love,” she revealed. “I’m really bad at interacting with people, and I always feel lonely.”
She said her favorite scene in a movie to watch when she wants to cry is the opening scene of “Up.” Because this movie tells a beautiful love story, and I resent the fact that I may never know what it feels like.
“It’s really, really sad, especially how sad Carl was when Ellie died,” she shared. “I wish I could love someone that much…but I’ve never loved anyone, and I don’t know if I ever will.”
Although she doesn’t seem to cry with sadness, she says she watches movies like “Up” to induce this feeling when she’s suffering from stress, as the act helps reduce stress levels in the body. spoke.
Vic’s portrayal of self-awareness and emotion is certainly fascinating and enlightening to the experience of psychopathy. At the very least, we can all agree that the love story in Up is incredibly moving, even if you’re a psychopath.
