Confessions Of A Diagnosed Sociopath — Her Fascinating Yet Disturbing Passions
It would absolutely disgust the rest of us.
A 28-year-old TikToker is calling herself a “narcissistic sociopath,” and the way she talks about emotions is both fascinating and unsettling. She says she was diagnosed with ASPD and narcissistic personality disorder, then used her platform to explain what it feels like on the inside when empathy and remorse just do not show up.
In her videos, she describes realizing that most people actually do not enjoy rage and hate. For her, those feelings cut through the emptiness, they feel intense and real, while the rest of her emotions are dull, fleeting, and somehow less alive.
And once you hear her connect that emotional craving to acting out and seeking fights, it stops being just a diagnosis story and turns into a “how did this start?” story.
The TikToker claims to be diagnosed as a sociopath and provides insight into her life.
It's said that you can't exactly be diagnosed with sociopathy, but if you exhibit enough traits, you could be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. This TikToker stated that she had been professionally diagnosed with ASPD and narcissistic personality disorder, and she refers to herself as a narcissistic sociopath.
She uses her social media to give us insight into what it's like to live with this condition. Psychopathy is defined as a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior.
TikTok/ @dammitdeltaDelta posted a video explaining when she realized that many people don't like feeling emotions such as rage and hate.
"I knew some people didn't like those emotions," she said. "But I genuinely did not know that most people don't enjoy feeling those things."
When she realized that this wasn't normal, she began looking into why she enjoyed it. "For me, my ASPD blocks out and blunts a lot of my emotions. I lack specific emotions like empathy and remorse, and many of my other emotions are pretty dull," she said.
"That being said, I think I enjoy emotions like hate and rage because they're intense; they feel real. A lot of my other emotions are very fleeting or dull and don't necessarily feel real. They're more superficial," she continues.
"It's stimulating and brings me a sense of enjoyment, whereas typically, I just feel like an empty void."

Here is her video where she explains more about the emotions she enjoys feeling that we might not agree with.
She states that she never realized how much her affinity for these emotions has pushed her to act out and even seek fights with people to feel something. She says that the emotion she feels most intensely is anger.
"I like the power behind emotions like hate, so whereas for most people, hate and anger seem to cause them distress and don't feel good to them, those emotions feel good to me. I enjoy feeling them, and I seek them," she says.
That’s the moment she goes from posting online to basically confessing why she likes the sting of hate and rage more than anything else.
When she says her ASPD “blunts” her feelings, it reframes every time people probably wrote off her intensity as “just personality.”

This is actually very interesting, and it might be a significant part of why certain people act the way they do. It is important to pay attention to what you enjoy, what you feel, and what you seek out to get to know yourself better.
It's great that she's using her platform to discuss these topics and educate more of us on this subject.
Then she admits her love of power behind anger pushed her to act out, even to the point of seeking fights just to feel something.
