Content creator Vic Path, better known online as @victhepath, often shares videos on social media which give people an insight into what it’s like living with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
The mental health condition is characterised by impulsive, irresponsible and often criminal behaviour.
According to the NHS, a person with ASPD can be manipulative, deceitful and reckless, while going about life without giving two hoots about anyone else’s feelings.
Psychopaths are considered to have a severe form of ASPD, leading to Vic describing herself as a ‘diagnosed’ one.
Vic has openly admitted she ‘can’t understand love’ which has impacted her ability to forge a meaningful relationship, as well as discussing the fact that she doesn’t have the bandwidth to experience certain emotions.
But in the same breath, she also says she can ‘cry on demand’ – which goes to show how complex it can be to deal with a psychopath.
And it seems that a lot of people think that throwing alcohol into the mix would be like pouring fuel onto a fire, however, Vic says it is actually the opposite.
In a recent video posted on TikTok, she detailed how she behaves after hitting the booze.
The 22-year-old, who boasts 277,300 followers, began by pointing out that she is speaking on her own experience with the hard stuff, rather than on behalf of all psychopaths.

“Drunk me is extremely similar to sober me,” Vic said. “It’s actually very difficult to tell the difference between me drunk and me sober.
“My friends have a really hard time knowing if I’m drunk or not, and there are only a few tells that I give away which will let them know that I’m really drunk.”
Vic explained that like the majority of people, she’s quite the chatterbox when she’s had a tipple and she often ends up volunteering the news that she is three sheets to the wind to her pals.
She continued: “When I’m really drunk, I’ll just say it. I’ll just tell my friends that I’m drunk upfront.
“I’ll just tell people that I’m drunk unprompted because I like to talk when I’m drunk…so I talk a lot more.”

Apparently, the state of her eyes are also another telltale sign that Vic might have had a few too many, as she explained they ‘look completely empty, gone’.
And although a lot of people end up losing all motor skills and sense of coordination when they’ve took the boozing too far, the content creator claims that hers get a boost.
“I get really good at drinking games,” she went on. “The more drunk I am, the better I get – and I know that sounds cliche and I don’t know why it happens, but I just get really good when I’m drunk.”
Vic then showed a screenshot of a text message which one of her mates had sent her while they were debriefing about the weekend.
It read: “I didn’t think you were that hammered.”
Vic explained that this demonstrated the point she made about her pals struggling to distinguish between drunk her and sober her.
She continued: “She had no idea that I was so drunk. I was wilding out, I spent the whole next morning throwing up, but she had no idea that I was that level of drunk.
“Because I just don’t give it off, there’s no signs.”
Vic then revealed why she thinks it is so difficult for people to realise that she has had a lot of alcohol.
“I don’t do things that I wouldn’t do sober, I don’t say things that I wouldn’t say sober,” she said.
“Really, the only reason that I drink is that it gives me a sense of euphoria.
“I actually do feel good when I drink, I feel happier. Everything becomes more fun when I’m drunk. So that’s why I do drink even though there is really no tells in my behaviour.
“As a psychopath, I don’t really have issues with confidence or embarrassment, I don’t really follow social constructs…so adding alcohol to the mix really doesn’t change my mindset at all.

She’s previously talked about some of the morbid interests she had as a kid
and on TikTok goes by the name of @victhepath.
Explaining that she has been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and is hoping to raise awareness of it, she’s made a whole load of videos explaining the world from her perspective.
One of her more popular videos had her running through some of the emotions she didn’t feel which most of us would.

Starting off by stressing that there were plenty of emotions she did feel, even if they were ‘muted’, she then went on to talk about the ones she didn’t feel.
“When I think about these emotions I feel like my brain is going through a blender, like I can’t conceptualise it,” she explained.
“It’s like telling you to think of a colour that doesn’t exist, it’s impossible because you’ve never experienced that colour so you don’t know how to reference it.
“Some emotions that I don’t feel at all are emotional empathy, love, regret and anxiety.”
She then told her followers she had ‘a complete misconception of what empathy is’ as she’d not experienced it.
The TikToker added that she didn’t feel love for anyone, ‘not my friends, not my family, not my boyfriends’ and said that ‘the concept of love is so foreign to me’ that she just didn’t understand it.
Regret was an emotion she said she understood more as she could get what someone meant when they were talking about regrets, but ‘I just don’t feel it’.
She felt that dovetailed with a lack of anxiety, saying: “I feel like regret and anxiety happen together, and anxiety again it doesn’t make sense to me when people talk about it.
“I think I can understand what people mean when they say ‘oh my thoughts are working against me’ or ‘I’m scared to do this thing’, but I’ve never actually experienced that.
“So I’m not really sure if my concept of it is correct or not.”
Naturally, this video made many of her followers even more curious, as people asked why she would seek out romantic partners if she didn’t feel love.
In another video, she said the question confused her as she thought it was ‘obvious you can still enjoy something without being in love with it’.
Saying that relationships between pretty much anyone ‘starts off with two people enjoying each other then it grows into love’, she said that if you ‘just take the last step of falling in love with each other out of the equation’ a relationship would otherwise work ‘exactly the same’.
