Diagnosed psychopath reveals morbid special interests she was obsessed with as a child

A diagnosed psychopath has revealed the ‘morbid’ special interests she had as a child.

Psychopathy – diagnosed clinically as antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) – is a type of personality disorder which is characterised as ‘irresponsible and often criminal behaviour’.

Symptoms of ASPD can vary from individual to individual and in severity but often includes: behaving in a way which is considered unpleasant for others, feeling easily bored or impulsive, being unable to experience empathy or remorse and having issues with following the law.

According to statistics from Mind, it’s believed that around 3 in 100 people will be given an ASPD diagnosis in their lifetime, however the study notes that true figures could be even higher.

There are also a lot of misconceptions around mental health terms such as ‘psychopath’ and ‘antisocial personality disorder’ which has led people diagnosed with the condition to share their experiences online.

One person who does this is Vic – who goes by the name of @victhepath on social media – with a recent TikTok of hers revealing the ‘morbid’ special interests she had as a child.

Kicking her list off with a ‘bang’ Vic explained that she had been particularly interested in learning about the Holocaust as a kid, recalling how she’d spent hours reading a book on the subject in the third grade (which is Year 4 in the UK).

“When I was in the third grade we had a book fair at school and I remember seeing this little black book called ‘The Holocaust and being really intrigued by it,” Vic said, adding that she chose to visit the Holocaust Museum over the Smithsonian on a school trip to Washington DC.

Maintaining the theme of historical fascination Vic went on to reveal she was also interested in the life and death of Tsar Nicholas II and his family, adding that she had written a paper on Grand Duchess Anastasia.

Vic also revealed that she was fascinated by fairytales as a kid – but not the PG, happy ever after ones which most kids love.

“I was really into Grimm fairytales,” she said.

For anyone whose unaware of the ‘original’ Grimm fairytales are, they were a collection of stories written by the Brothers Grimm in the early 19th century and is the original source material for Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood.

However these stories would have much darker endings and involve themes such as murder, sexual assault and cannibalism.

Going further back to ancient history, Vic added that she was intrigued by Greek myths as well as as the Aztec and Inca empires.

“It shouldn’t be a shock to you guys that I was really intrigued by the whole human sacrifice thing,” she said of the Aztecs and the Inca.
