Me when he said my diagnosis 😮❤
@arcangiuletto on November 11, 2022 9:44 pm

I am not sure why personality disorders are presented here with this tone of voice, as if the person on the show thinks they are hilarious – I mean I know it's you tube and people want to be entartained but I find this conversation style inappropriate to the subject.
also the speed it is as if it needs to be rushed for some reason. Dysfunctional
@ohsnaptacular on November 13, 2022 9:58 pm

This was not a sensitive review of the topic. I'm shocked at the negative perceptions and stereotypes put out in this video.
@Bugs3820 on November 22, 2022 4:43 am

The way you described BPD makes it sound like we're all manipulative. In my experience it's just a constant uncontrollable reaction to the fear of abandonment.

@ms.maggie8491 on December 13, 2022 6:02 pm

Thank you so much! I learned so much in your 10-minute video!!!
@w.healingstattion on December 19, 2022 1:58 pm

His lessons are always excellent. The only problem for me when English as a second language is he speaks way too fasttttttttttttttttttt. Like surfing. Wish that you could slow down between your speed and those philosophers' speed. 🥲

this guy literally the scientist from the Simpsons
@DanielSRosehill on January 15, 2023 9:49 am

Amazing video. And the animations were great!
@DanielSRosehill on January 15, 2023 10:04 am

I also really appreciated the humor brought to this subject that is so immensely challenging and painful (esp for children of those with PDs). The reaction to the goat stuff had me laughing out loud!
@uservn6pp214 on January 26, 2023 8:14 am

Dissociative disorders ?
@Cringegothgirl on March 7, 2023 5:44 pm

I have a personality disorder but I actually realized I had it before I was diagnosed
@scottthomas5819 on March 8, 2023 4:58 am

@SeanMcGuireRoars on April 1, 2023 3:05 pm

Antisocial in the military? Crickets
@jaxon3365 on April 26, 2023 1:39 am

I appreciate your ability to speak about ASPD in a way that doesn’t further stigmatize or demonize it.
@commonerscoffee. on June 10, 2023 4:06 am

As someone with BPD and HPD, I wish this video covered it in a less negative light. We’re not all insane murderers.
@EricRoberts1999 on June 10, 2023 2:23 pm

Is this channel for children?

@MysteryGrey on July 24, 2023 1:42 pm

If you listen to this on 2x speed, your head will explode.
@MysteryGrey on July 24, 2023 1:48 pm

Crash course in speed talking.
@Mezzy.. on July 29, 2023 1:31 pm

5:46 This part I don't really understand; why do mostly men have apd? Is it only biological men? Is there a genetic trait in the x y chromosome that increases apd?
@glenntogersen5157 on August 5, 2023 1:05 pm

@yourfavbbw94 on August 12, 2023 4:53 pm

@iammchloe on August 14, 2023 6:07 pm

I was diagnosed with borderline BPD, everything you said is true. Especially, when we’re triggered
