  • "The Psychopath, Sociopath, & How to Spot Them"..... i must have missed the part where they actually talk about spotting these individuals
  • @DimaRakesah
    I love how she points out that our society is rewarding people with these conditions, rewarding people who hurt others to get ahead, to our own detrement. This is such a huge issue right now. We praise people who are rich and powerful and tend to overlook how they got there by exploiting others.
  • Spotting a narc/gaslighter/abuser... observe their actions. Words are meaningless if their actions are not in alignment.

    “you’ve got to be your own gatekeeper” I needed this so much.
  • Yes, we do love Dr. Ramani. It’s no wonder she’s booked out three months in advance. It’s just so easy and comfortable with her. :)

    I’m a sociopath with adhd and anger problems...life isn’t fun for me due to the fact that I can’t feel anything inside (emotionally) other than anger and hate and my thoughts drive me crazy from my adhd. I constantly listen to music to block off my thoughts and need ambient noises in the background to fall asleep. I can never be alone in the quiet or else my thoughts will take over and they’re 90% negative. I lack empathy for everyone including family members when I know I should care but can’t. I’m literally dead inside. I have to plan everyday step by step so that I won’t lose my shit. Being emotionless and hyper active at the same time is torture.

    “when we deal with REALITY, we can make better DECISIONS.” currently going through a pre trial of being assaulted from my sociopathic ex boyfriend, these videos are helping me very much. thank you
  • @SarahJJaffe
    I was severely abused by a psychopath for 4 years and a narcissist for 2 years after that. I would love to share my story. I know how insanely dangerous it is and I’m lucky to be alive
  • My understanding: a psychopath can be either Michael Myers or a professional person in a suit. A sociopath could be the criminal down the street or the person you’re dating. It’s scary because they’re very intermixed. The key is empathy. Can they actually relate to you when you’re describing how you feel or to another person etc, if you feel like they’re just not “getting you” very often....that’s a red flag.

    DR RAMANI HAS INSPIRED ME TO GO INTO PSYCHOLOGY!!! Thank you!
  • I love her as if she were family. She is honest and she explains everything she is asked in a plain way. No arrogance. No medical therms. Just plain and honest answers. She is accurate and I watch every videos she is in and I hope I can change my bad behaviors and hope to not be or become a narcissist. Al respect to you guys. Thanks for the videos.
  • As a person who has struggled with self love my whole life, and been told so many times that I need to learn to love myself, I really appreciate that you say instead: find value in yourself, see the value in yourself, because it’s so much less off-putting to hear, and I can actually wrap my head around that! For a percent has grown up with negative mirroring and subjected to verbal abuse and brainwashing, the idea of valuing yourself seems a lot more attainable to me personally
  • @userBBB
    I watch MedCircle only because of Dr. Ramani but I couldn't tell why exactly. Thanks for explaining it for me... Dr. Ramani is brutally honest but humane. She chooses to remove all the warm and fuzzy useless stuff, in a way that is humane and not narcissistic.
  • My BPD ex was in so much pain, but his abuse and explosive nature left me with PTSD and so, also the people that are in pain, DO cause pain for those around them. Feeling sorry for them is a great hook that keeps us on the line, so to speak and they reel us in and push us out til we think we are the crazy ones.

    "People internalize those mocking voices". I definitely did. I had OCD and could hear it inside putting me down for many years, fortunately I didn't take it seriously, but it was still deeply discomfortable.
