A woman who claims to have been diagnosed as a psychopath has shared what really matters to her in life.
TikTok user Vic (@Victhepath) opened up about her emotions and lack of empathy in a video, after another social media user asked her what matters to her.
Vic has been diagnosed with ASPD, known as antisocial personality disorder, and centres her TikTok page around this.

ASPD is a personality disorder characterised by impulse or irresponsible behaviour. Traits of somebody with ASPD include being manipulative, reckless and deceitful, with a lack of consideration for other people's feelings.
In her video, Vic began by outlining her thought process when it comes to making herself happy and considering what truly matters to her.
"I'm a psychopath so I have very shallow emotions," she explained. "I don't feel love, so what actually really matters to me? Well, the answer to this is actually really simple.

"The only thing that matters to me is whatever I want in the moment. What outcome do I want from this situation? What tangible thing do I want to obtain? That is all that matters to me and I will do whatever it takes to get that."
She went on to reveal that psychopaths are 'selfish' people who lack empathy and emotion, leading to a stigma surrounding them.
Vic added: "And that's part of the reason there's so much stigma around psychopaths, because psychopaths are seen as really ruthless and cruel as we don't really have the empathy or emotions to cater to other people. We're pretty selfish, so we're going to do, what we want to do."

She concluded her explanation by outlining exactly what she is focusing on at the moment, revealing 'making money' to be high up on her list of priorities.
"So, right now in my life, a lot of the things that matter to me revolve around me having fun and me just enjoying myself.
"So, I put a lot of my energy towards partying and travelling, and meeting new people and things like that. Because, those are the things that I really enjoy right now."

"Making money is at the top of my list of things that matter to me because money equals fun to me. So, that's why I care so much about it. But honestly, the things that matter to me as a psychopath are pretty shallow. All of it is rooted in self interest."
Many TikTok users flocked to quiz her over her thoughts, with some intrigued by her lack of emotion towards others.
One person said: "I’m curious if you feel love or sadness? Very interesting," while another observed: "I don’t think anything is off with you I think you’re just really honest with your emotions and a lot of people can’t take that.
"(I may also have the same problem you have)."
