'Diagnosed psychopath’ reveals what it is like dating someone with the condition

Typically on the big screen, psychopaths are depicted as aggressive, murderous and scary individuals who you’d want to steer clear of.

But in real life, those with the traits and tendencies of one tend to be far from the stereotypes shown in films.

And a ‘diagnosed psychopath’ has revealed what it’s actually like to date someone with her condition.

Content creator Vic (@victheptah) has Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterised by impulsive, irresponsible and often criminal behaviour.

It also tends to mean those with it are manipulative, deceitful and reckless and won’t care for other people’s feelings. Psychopaths are considered to have a severe form of ASPD, leading to Vic describing herself as a ‘diagnosed’ one.

The 22-year-old told her followers she ‘can’t understand love’ and has had more ‘flings’ than relationships.

Vic admitted: “I don’t date so much as I engage in hookup culture. I love a good friends-with-benefits situation, but when it comes to something more serious, I do not have the bandwidth for that.

“It’s very hard for me to find someone I’m interested in beyond physicality, so that’s why I haven’t really had many relationships in my life.”

She explained she didn’t love either of her two exes and was ‘just bored’ with them in the end.

When it comes to what she’s looking for on the dating scene, she said she’s very shallow and prefers to seek out men who she believes are more attractive.

“I don’t like to be the hot one in a relationship,” she added.

And she also wants them to be able to ‘take care of her financially’ as they have to be the one paying for their dates.

To be fair, her must-haves in a date aren’t probably too dissimilar to others as she said: “The person that I’m spending my time with cannot be boring. We have to have an interesting conversation.

“We have to be doing interesting things. They have to be somebody that captures my attention because I cannot go out on a date with somebody that I find boring, even if it is for free food.”

Vic described dating her as ‘such a good time’ because of how ‘interesting’ she is.

“I’m always doing something weird. You will never be bored with me,” she added. “I’m also very chill. As long as you respect me, we have no issues.

“I think a lot of guys appreciate having the ‘chill girlfriend’, but sometimes guys can get very needy with me, and those are the types of guys I tend to cut off.”
