📹 8 Strange Behaviors Often Linked to Psychopathy
In this video, we explore eight strange behaviors that may be linked to psychopathy. When you think of the common signs of a …
Is it rare to get a parasite?
Parasitic diseases are a significant global health concern, affecting millions of individuals with varying degrees of severity.
Where are parasites more common in the world?
Parasitic infections are defined as illnesses caused by parasites that require another organism to survive. Such infections may manifest in a variety of ways, including diarrhea, vomiting, and pruritic dermatitis. In addition, they may disseminate to other organs, such as the brain or lungs. The three main types of parasites are nematodes, fungi, and fungi. Such infections are more prevalent in rural areas lacking adequate sanitation infrastructure.
Do 90% of humans have parasites?
Parasites, which are organisms that live on or in a host and serve as its food source, are a legitimate health concern and can cause diseases like malaria, toxoplasmosis, and Chagas disease. However, claims made by groups like Humaworm that 90% of Americans are hosts to parasites that cause serious illness are overstated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Despite facing pressure from authorities and a recent raid on the business behind Humaworm, these groups have managed to sidestep Facebook’s crackdown on health misinformation by adapting to new rules and using coded phrasing. Many of the group’s members take the topic seriously.
Is parasitism good or bad?
Worm parasitism, a harmful parasite, can potentially reduce autoimmune illnesses in animal hosts, including humans. Parasites play vital ecological roles, allowing inter-species DNA exchange and evolutionary change. They occupy the top spot in food webs and act as keystone species, allowing competing species to coexist while lowering the dominance of superior competitors. Despite efforts to stop malaria transmission through prophylaxis, mosquito vector eradication, and vaccine development, drug resistance, pesticide resistance, and vaccine failures due to complex life cycles and genetic polymorphisms have been high problems.
This research aims to evaluate the good, bad, and ugly aspects of parasitism in humans and animals, including accurately diagnosing new undefined parasite genotypes and comparing them with well-recognized parasites.
Is Dexter a psychopath?
The character of Dexter Morgan, a high-functioning psychopath with manipulative abilities, has been shown to act as an undetected serial killer. Additionally, he has been described as resembling a sheep-like wolf, which lends him a dominant presence in everyday life.
Who benefits from parasitism?
Parasites, including humans, are organisms that benefit from relationships between two plant or animal species, often at the expense of the host organisms. They can be ectoparasites, which live on the host’s body surface and do not cause disease, or endoparasites, which rely on a carrier or vector to transmit them to the host. Examples include malaria caused by Plasmodium protozoans and Dutch elm disease caused by Ceratocystis ulmi. The European cuckoo, a bird species, coevolved with other bird species and behaves as brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other birds and relying on them to raise their young.
Why is parasitism so successful?
Parasites are organisms that reduce host fitness through pathologies like parasitic castration and modification of host behavior, while increasing their own fitness by exploiting hosts for resources necessary for survival. They are part of a spectrum of interactions between species, grading from parasitoidism into predation, evolution into mutualism, and in some fungi, shading into saprophytic. Parasites have been known since ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, with early modern observations by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Francesco Redi.
Modern parasitology developed in the 19th century. The term “parasite” was first used in English in 1539 and comes from the Medieval French parasite, Latinized form parasitus, and related term “parasitos” in Ancient Greek.
What is parasitic lifestyle?
A parasitic lifestyle is typified by a manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial dependence on others. It is often characterised by low motivation, self-discipline, and an inability to fulfil responsibilities.
Why is parasitism bad?
Parasitism is a complex relationship between species where a parasite lives on or inside a host, causing harm and being structurally adapted to its way of life. It is a major element of evolutionary ecology, as nearly all free-living animals are hosts to at least one parasite species. Parasites play vital ecological roles, allowing for inter-species DNA exchange and evolutionary change. They rely on predator-prey or stable ecological interactions to complete their life cycles.
Parasites make up half of life’s diversity and play vital ecological roles. However, measures such as prophylaxis, pesticide eradication, and vaccine development have been attempted to stop malaria transmission. Problems such as drug resistance, pesticide resistance in mosquitoes, and vaccine failures due to complex life cycles and naturally occurring genetic polymorphisms have been high problematic issues.
Do most people live with parasites?
As reported by the World Health Organization, approximately 25% of the global population is infected with intestinal parasites, with ascariasis affecting 1 billion individuals. In tropical and subtropical regions with restricted access to clean water and sanitation, the prevalence can reach 50%. In the United States, intestinal parasites such as protozoa and pinworms are prevalent.

ITIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A NARCISSIST AND AN EMPATH #narcissist #npd
Speaks quietly and slowly!? Oh dear! I’ve been called out! Some of these signs sound like CPTSD, PTSD or autism spectrum disorder. Having parents who display psychopathic traits can also “train” you into having similar styles of communicating or thinking— like speaking slowly or quietly, maintaining a deadpan face and eye contact, staying calm when they have an emotional outburst, etc. Laughing inappropriately at something painful can also be a trait one develops if parents accuse you of being “overly dramatic/emotional”, emotional dissociation, can also be a sign of traumatic brain injury, PTSD, autism spectrum.
Depending on a psychopath’s functionality level, Empathy (and all other components) can be regulated and activated to suit the context, almost like a mixing board. The dysfunctional ones we usually hear about are the ones whose ‘board’ are either stuck at full blast or have slow reaction time. The functional ones tend to end up in business, military, politics, media or legal fields with a power element (plus surgery). Extreme sports too are quite appealing. As for the smelling part: mankind in general has pisspoor sensory apparatus compared to most of the Animal Kingdom. There was a time in the past when our ancestors could literally smell the emotions of fellow tribe members, but we traded that for abstract thinking (which gave us an edge over other species). As for manipulation, we’ve already turned a decent handful of certain animals and plants into organic tools. The wolf became a dog, the ox extra muscle, the hen and the cow living vending machines etc. And as for our treatment of nature, we’ve traded ecological serial killing for mass murdering. So on collective level, we’ve behaved psychopathically for a long long time (and originally it was for survival). At times, otherwise normal people have been cruel towards those who weren’t a part of their in-group (or were bottomfeeders). The rare occasion is when these traits are displayed on an individual level. Also, we’re the only primates who never base our hierarchies on raw muscle (aside from maybe school bullies). It’s more our style to influence others to do our bidding.
Psychopath here and 7 out of those 8 strange behaviours “not strange to me – people who exhibit way too much emotion; empathy and compassion, I find dumb and boring” I would sore very high on except fear. I experience it in a way that protects me – a survival trait. Without it, I would make mistakes.
As someone who has very low empathy, I patch it up with cognitive empathy: I had to be taught how to take into account other people’s feelings and such as an adult. Now I use my thinky bits to recognize feelings and what sparked them. I still don’t feel empathy, but at least I can use it. I have emotions, I just hate them so god damn much I distance myself from them as much as possible. They’re an inconvenience.
No empathy and smells relate to someone I know. They have told me they have no empathy and try to fake emotions with people. The weird laughter comes out when drunk. Really freaks me out. People are to dumb to see the fake emotions, and for some reason attract to this person. Want this person. To be around them. This person doesn’t care about anyone.
Im a psychopath but i am handicapped so im very nice to most people because i kinda rely on them i never really lied or manipulated untill i found weed i would be very good at hiding my habit and even when i got caught they didnt find it and i would just laugh i am clean now though and i lie alot less now because i know it can strain relationships and i still want to keep people around even if i dont care about them
im 50 i have had many associates in my life. i have never really been able to emotionally connect with anyone in general. i can count on 1 hand the times i felt any real emotional connection with anyone. it does not make me a sociopath it just makes me someone who learned at a very young age i did not want to be part of anyone else’s emotional bullshit. on the flip side, i cannot help but emotionally connect with any animal i see. also i have one of the most successful marriages anyone could ever dream of having. 23 years still going, way stronger then the day we met. you could say im a real pack animal and i just cant connect to anyone outside my pack as it pertains to humans that is.
Yes . I have alot of predatory gazes on me ALOT AND I HATE IT. I didn’t know I was dealing with Psychopaths, so when I start to think about it and remember and realize that that is why I felt unsettled a lot in life, and I didn’t know that it wasn’t me it was actually the Psychopaths staring at me, wanting to unsettle me and always targeting me everyday my life.
Most of these are rubbish. Speaking slowly and quietly is an excellent way to communicate. Using past tense is how people talk about life events. It is also how the elderly tend to speak, since they have more past than future. Most of your examples are typical of how people in general may behave. They are not typical of psychopaths in particular.
I do the staring thing…idk if I’m a psychopath but I can explain exactly why I do it. I only do it when I don’t like a person. Will do it to them once or twice really early in the conflict to let them know I am on to them. I don’t talk much to them after the stare so it is supposed to put them in a tense mood of unpredictability. They see me angry but they don’t know what I’m thinking . It can make a person behave how you want them to behave. Pretty messed up. I won’t justify my behaviour. But I will add this…I still love God so I keep everything he says to heart and won’t purposely hurt anyone. Sometimes (and you have to trust me on this) it feels like I do these things to help people. Yea…weird.
An opinion please: I had one year relationship with a guy who spoke on various dating apps and also with his ex. After one year he decided to take a break from the relationship and got back togeter with his ex. This lasted one month and afterwards returned back to me saying he wants to commit. Because I had feelings for him I gave him a chance and after one month I looked in his phone and I saw he was cheating me with a young girl who knew thar we were together and even so, she agreed with this terms. Also I saw he was speaking/ or maybe more, with other womens. He lied, cheated, tried to manipulate me, he always had a calm voice, spoke slowly and he was calculated, without empathy I believe, and very selfish figure ( everything was only about him and his needs) My question is: was he only a cheater, or narcisist, or pshycopath? He lieved in a childhood abuse with a drunk father who was beating him and his mother, he does not have a good relationship now with his parents.
Yeh to me, some psychopaths know what they are doing is wrong, but do not feel able to stop this cycle that they might have begun to be aware of poss on, or before adolescence but if psychopathic behaviours are not addressed by those who have them, or fail to find a professional to help & support their recovery, in-part including veterans who are left horrified by their actions, it could over time, morph into sociopathy, as learning to care without many support systems, ultimately there’s no point caring anymore! Cough, cough! Partly talking about my dad.
I often wondered if my mother was a psychopath. She’d laugh at the most bizarre things. She certainly had no empathy. She tried to get my dad to “Robert Latimer” me after I was hit by a truck and disabled. And she had the stare thing. She didn’t speak softly though, she was very loud and “vibrant.” More likely she was just a regular narcissist. I identified one in AA though. He was doing the whole Charles Manson act, he had a harem of girls who worshipped him and they acted weird like they were on psychoactive drugs and he would say shit like depression is “selfish.” One day my friend Henry was saying to me, “Ron (the psycho) is a locksmith and helped me get into my house when I lost my keys.” In my head, I was like, of course he is. So I straight up told him, “yeah, I’m pretty sure that guy is a psychopath.” And he’s like, “no way!” He wouldn’t believe me. So what I think happened is Henry told Ron what I said because Ron started toying with me and all my friends. Henry came to me days later and sheepishly said, “you were right.” Apparently he woke up with Ron standing over his bed nonchalantly scrolling through his phone and Ron was big, Henry little. It would have been terrifying. That was the start of the Funny Games. (Great movie btw)
There is a theory out there psychopaths are indeed warrior types living in long periods of peace, where they are in danger of turning into criminal. At least some of these traits are quite useful in a war. Trying go gain control of a situation, cause and effect thinking, lack of responsibility, lack of fear recognition, finding it funny to cause severe bodily harm.
Meh, my brother 33 good looking is a sociopathic towards only toxic people, very cruel, sadistic and thrive on pain and show absolutely no remorse for his actions. He’s manipulative, indifferent, cold. Towards normal people he’s using fake empathic, fake smile but don’t hurt them at all. He can switch his emotions easily…He turn into Charismatic quickly Into a cold sadist 🤷♂️ he was severe bullied, sexual abused as a child if that make sense. He hate bullies, if he see a bully he pull a knife and give death threats, which he can get irritated easily. PTSD, sociopathy my guess. PS: have a nice day.
My teenage stepdaughter has this stair. She doesn’t really show emotion. I love her to death, and she’s a good kid. Some characteristics about her are just off, though. I don’t have much emotion either and not really a fan of it.I had a very rough upbringing and then served 3 tours in combat with the Army Infantry, so we sort of see eye to eye in that context. Personally, I feel like some emotion is ok, but for the most part, emotions seem to get messy and in the way.
When i look at someone and he looks at me i lower my face and look down becuse i dont blink alot and i dont want ppl to notice that about me and if i like a gril sometimes im too shy to talk to her if she makes me excited i look at her for time to time to let her know im intrested but cant tell her that i just want her to know so she wil come close to me if a gril dosent have any thing in commen with me its hard for me to talk to her
Interesting about the smells. The thing that pops into my mind is that smells often have an emotional connection and strong emotional memories attached to them. The first smells we recognize are formed because of emotional connections, so I’d think it makes perfect sense because of that lack of emotional connection to others that those parts of the brain don’t get properly formed.
1. I use this. It’s quite useful, and I highly recommend anyone adopt it. Most small talk bores me. 2. In spades… 3. I don’t know if I do this or not. It sounds useful. 4. I don’t do this naturally, but I feel pleasure when I see my interlocutor breaking eye contact with me during conversation, and this encourages me to stare them down. 5. No, but my sense of smell still sucks 6. Yup. No yawning reflex. 7. Usually not, but there have been times I have DEFINITELY laughed at some seriously dark things. 8. Quite the opposite.
Now I’m concerned. Pretty sure I’m married to a psychopath/narcissist and there’s been times the only way I can make him realize I’m serious is to do that no blinking eye lock wich makes him uncomfortable therefore I can get the point across. Is it because I’m one, have tendencies, or because I’ve lived w one for 23 yrs?!😳🥺😬😤Would love any feedback 🙁
I love psychopaths, actually. They’re very independent and don’t need to emotionally cling, they’re objective and tend to have good ideas when it comes to life decisions, you can disappear into your own life for awhile and then get back together with them like it’s no biggie (no prying questions or feeling insulted), they are usually hard workers. Obviously they won’t ever genuinely care but they are still fun to get together with. And no, they don’t all attack people. They can try to take advantage of people but most people do that anyway. Just don’t let them.
None of this is real. None of this is really a thing that could help anyone identify a psychopath. “Cause and effect thinking”??? Really!? “Predatory gaze”… “Empathy plays a crucial role in contagious yawning”… it isn’t empathy, it’s an emotional connection to the person yawning. Whoever made this article just found somebody else’s content, cobbled together some seemingly-accurate psychobabble terms, and referred frequently to “science” as if science is some kind of consensus. They don’t even define what actually makes a psychopath. And this gem: “I hope this gives you some insight into the world of psychopathy, and some of the strange behaviors associated with it” followed immediately by “These behaviors can’t determine whether someone is a psychopath”…. This is minimally if AT ALL helpful to anyone. Like literally the only people this could ever help are people who want to confirm that someone who hurt them in a relationship is psychopathic, or narcissistic, or whatever…. It’s becoming the new word for “guy/girl who dumped me” or people who never want to examine their own behavior. Don’t believe me? Count the number of people who immediately diagnose an ex they once loved with a disorder or condition that only 1% of humans have. Folks, please: everyone who dumps you isn’t a psychopath or a narcopath. Get over it. Grow up. Examine yourself instead of diagnosing literally everyone else who ever displeases you or leaves a relationship.
The orbitofrontal cortex is responsible for integrating reason and emotion. Smell is the sense most strongly connected to emotion (because it has the fewest concrete qualities to remember, so it must be abstracted to an emotional hook in order to be recalled. Because psychopaths experience very low levels of emotion, they would find it hard to recall smells
Diagnosed psychopath here. I’ll let you in on some things. We evolved differently compared to those that have empathy. We care little for anything but ourselves but that doesn’t mean we are “evil.” A psychopath that was raised in a good environment won’t hurt people out of malevolence but will not adhere to social norms. We are wired different for different reasons. In a group of ten people that have fear of a larger threat 1 in the group that is the psychopath will probably kill the large man and the group will praise the psychopath. If the psychopath knows what he/she can get out of it they focus on reward more than bonds. Best bet is if you encounter a psychopath, just know they had their eye on you a while before you saw them. We are like “apex” hunter gatherers. In a survival setting we will do anything at any cost to survive. In primitive setting we blend in and are hyper aware of our environment. Everything we do is calculated, don’t think for a second we don’t have control we do but our impulses are wired for survival and we Do have the control to suppress them. Sex, thirst hunger and emotions can just be turned Off like a button or a skill. You may need to breathe when you nervous when you see a threat, we don’t get nervous at all. If anything we get Excited, our eyes widen and our stomach may growl. Seriously we are more like animals with calm, controlled and violent tendencies beneath the surface. And yes manipulation is our defense and offense mechanism, violence is usually our last resort and we care about getting what we Want after our primitive Needs are met.
It’s weird because I know I should be yawning but I don’t. I occasionally hear the roar in my head when someone I’m very close to yawns,which is basically 5 people lol, but I don’t actually do the action. Same with fear. I know it’s supposed to scare people and that many people are indeed afraid but I either don’t care or are interested. This could definitely just be my ADHD.
Here me out, some people appearing as high functioning sociopaths just view the world objectively in a manner that is not functional in society currently, but it is quickly becoming the norm as we gain universal self awareness and ditch emotions for cognitive liberation. Ik it’s messy rn, but we just need to push for self awareness and the awareness of all possible ignorances becoming common knowledge.
If you are a Real Profiler, this Information it’s useless. It’s impossible to detect a Psychopath by this Personality Traits, here listed. They are very Good Actors and they Play a High Level Game. Some persons know what is a Psychopath just a few seconds before being killed by one. But that’s too late. Do not mix Psychopaths with Sociopaths; that’s a huge mistake. In Society they are integrated and act normally as any others do. As very intelligent and skilled persons, they pass through life without being detected. Is a sort of Technology that: “What You See Is Not What You Get”.
My Sister meets a lot of these criterion to a psychopathic behaviors. I felt uncomfortable when she sat there starring at me while ate the meal she prepared, very creepy. In addition, she has been married about seven times plus being a ruthless kleptomaniac. Always scheming to rip off your possessions.
What if a super empathetic person were to completly change their behavior based on human interactions, desired future goals, and knowing that some forms of mental illness actually helps you to grow faster than most in certain situations, is that just cause i was tested with 160 iq or was i a psychopath all along?
Personally if a person doesn’t speak past a certain volume I’ll assume you’re talking to yourself and if you’re talking to yourself you don’t need my help or input. Speak up like an intelligible adult or jog on. I can hear dog whistles so if you speak so soft I can’t hear you I don’t trust you. Say something with conviction or ask questions or shut up
My wife is a Dr of Psychology who advises various governments on policy matters. This article is basically complete drivel. Nothing is generally known about people without emotion. That is the fact. If you listen critically to th e information given in this article, it is completely confused and nearly all of it simply made up.
I’ve got the stare. I’m not proud of it, but I can’t for the life of me keep eye contact with anyone. Been that way for years. Trust issues. I work with narcissists every day so the stare gives me some control over a situation. It’s all a pathetic competition to these people. Compete with yourself instead and the problem may sort itself out.
I am a psychopath. And I am intelligent. So I can hide my psychopathy really well, and nobody knows that I am one. It is hard though. The stare thing is correct, I catch myself doing it all the time. The smell thing is correct, I don’t smell almost anything. The yawn too, idk why would I jawn when someone jaws… weird to me. The inappropriate laughter is real, I sometimes just cannot control myself. I have no fear, that is true as well. But, I am a highly functioning psychopath. I appear “normal” for the most part of the day.
I think saying psychopaths can’t smell is stupid I can smell fine but everyone tunes out the scent of their own body odor pretty quick. I suppose you could also say beware of those who say they are of the synegouge of satan but are jews. I think “risky” behavior is political for some and social for others. the ones who are political are wrong. if you want to support palestine that’s fine but I do not consider supporting israel to be risky behavior.
We do not need to take responsibility if we speak in the social sense of the usual actions and consequences; Responsibility is a moral action determined by sociocultural aspects that vary depending on the environment, so in the same sense, responsibility varies in this context and depends entirely on the consequences of the actions, which are always well calculated… whoever does not calculate them well He is not one of ours. and above all, do not confuse violent idiots with our lineage, stupidity has nothing to do with us and the indiscriminate use of violence is a stupid action
Elizabeth Holmes spoke slowly and deliberately and she had that crazy eyed stare with very little blinking. She also had no problem lying and still doubles down on her lies after being caught. She even went as far to have kids in hopes of reducing her sentence. If that isn’t psychopathic behavior I don’t know what is.
I was a bit scared to start the article. Though I’m stopping having passed three…1997-2006 US Marine infantryman Sgt.100P.T. I’ve worked with killers that protected us as we slept in combat. A few good infantryman I’ve met genuinely have disturbed my soul. Oh my goodness thanks for the work and website. Apologize for the book punctuation and spelling. Glasses are upstairs. Semper Fidelis
Let me tell you something, you can be a sane individual at any day & age, living anywhere, but then too much exposure to violence, war, detainment ect… Could make you develop a few of their traits, it does not mean you are a full blown version of this mental illness. Talking to someone always helps
Oh my, I displayed 4 or 5 of these traits…….does it make me a psychopath? Talking slowly in a lower pitch, talking in past tense, think in cause and effect and disregarding emotional implications, very inappropriate laughter and giggles, and lack of or very diminished fear recognition and response……..goodness😬
i like talking about history because its something everybody already know and the best subject to put as argument. because you know it as well as everybody else. i have lack of fear, but thats due to i have been through craps. as how i speak, now thats different. i could be the kinda sicko who speaks fast and to be louder. also, maybe im just one of those sicko who still can wince and cringe a lot when i see dreadful things happen to another people. i say this, because many humans who dont like me said im a sicko. maybe im different type of sicko. i have bad humor too sometimes. maybe thats why? ( i often creatively would come up with “parody” version in my minds from things i saw happened. past tense there .so that often makes me giggle by myself)
ya, me also recently identified the real psychopath in my husband during my days after delivery of my second child . I was taken to in laws. what all happened around me was un explainable. Everybody pretend to helping but real torture. Oh God, You helped me out. But my husband, we cannot understand their intendetions. They plan every thing. Always we are trapped.
They show people with their laughter, that they understand situations better, because they are more ntelligent. And the calm demeanor, is a sign to me, they are daydreaming and out of touch with reality. And the one I know, come to think of it, has pretended a few times, to really be noticing the smell of things, that I didn’t. So it seems they’re aware of their oddness., They stare at people, to see if they notice.
I ask this in several places because I’m curious about what answers I’ll get. Why do a bunch of psychopaths have the blank eyes? I get that because their brains are wired differently that they don’t feel the need to blink as much as everybody else, but what’s with the blank eyes? I’m not judging by the way. Stuff like this just happens to peak my interest.
The logical sense of a psychopath? * Not hurting anyone, not because it’s deemed wrong, but the dominant stopping force is that they don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions. They suffered trauma as a child, & the emotional pain were killing them, so they kill their own emotions, a brain turning into psychopath, is a defense mechanism, I’d rather go around emotionless than feeling the pain of rejection from their peers. I believe, psychopathic traits in humans is a lot more common than what people want to believe. Psychopaths who don’t give in to their desires, aren’t evil, it’s really not their fault for what they are.
