Jake paul is one of the most well-known youtube personalities on this platform.
He is incredibly influential, he has 17 million subscribers.
He is also one of the most polarizing out of all youtubers.
You either love him or you hate him, which is one of the reasons why Shane Dawson decided
to make a docuseries on him, which attempts to unearth a side to jake paul that the public
doesn’t necessarily know.
In episode two of the docuseries, shane explores the possibility of Jake Paul being a sociopath.
Sociopaths are another term for someone with antisocial personality disorder.
According to psychologists, Someone with antisocial personality disorder is not empathic, as in
they can’t understand the feelings of others.
Sociopaths are manipulative, where they play mind games to control the people close to
them, or even complete strangers.
They have no regard for the rules, and often push the limits of what’s acceptable.
Sounds a lot like someone we know.
So, could it be possible that jake paul, a youtuber with 17 million loyal subscribers,
could fit into that category?
Today, what if life’s biggest questions asks, is Jake Paul a sociopath?
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions.
I’m charlotte dobre.
This is where I ask you to like and subscribe and ask us a question in the comments below.
As you might already know from Shane Dawson’s documentary, sociopaths are actually quite
common.
1 in 25 people are sociopaths.
That means someone you know is a sociopath, or, plot twist, maybe the sociopath is you.
Its important to note that sociopaths are extremely likeable people.
They are charismatic, charming and agreeable, which is why it’s really hard to tell if
someone you know is a sociopath.
The sociopath in your social circle might turn out to be the person you least expect.
So, let’s do our own diagnosis of jake paul using these 7 points.
Those with antisocialpersonality disorder can only receive a diagnosis if they are over
18, and they show a consistent pattern of these behaviors.
Number one, a sociopath doesn’t respect social norms or laws.
They often break the rules that society has laid out with little regard for what might
happen to them.
Jake paul has documented some questionable behaviour on his channel.
In 2017, his neighbors in Beverly grove were meeting with city council members and police
on the possibility of filing a class action law suit against him for being a public nuisance.
This came after repeated issues with jake’s fans gathering outside his house, noise complaints
and setting furniture on fire.
Jake also once secretly recorded a conversation on the doorstep of a neighbour he upset, but
in California, its only private conversations that are not allowed to be recorded.
But the neighbour didn’t press charges.
At this time, Jake Paul does not have a criminal record.
That could change in the future, but other than being a bad neighbour and a public nuisance,
Jake doesn’t necessarily break the law to the degree where he could be considered a
sociopath.
And the LAPD, after responding to complaints about him, said that Jake paul hadn’t been
cited because he hadn’t broken any laws.
Moving on to Number two.
Sociopaths lie, constantly deceive others, may even act under false identities and they
often use others for their own personal gain.
We do know that jake paul has been known to lie, and publicly too.
For example, Back in august of 2017, He lost 60 thousand followers after he accused faze
banks of assaulting his assistant Megan.
Faze banks said he would sue jake and team 10 for defamation of character and slander,
so it seems like jake paul lied about this assault to start youtube drama.
So yes, jake paul lies, but then again, a lot of people lie.
A lot of youtubers lie for the purpose of creating controversy.
Just because you lie, that doesn’t mean you are a sociopath, otherwise, we would all
be sociopaths.
Moving on to Number 3, Sociopaths don’t plan ahead.
They behave without thinking and are often spontaneous.
Jake paul definitely appears to be spontaneous.
He is constantly behaving in ways that people don’t expect because it attracts a lot of
attention, and its one of the reason why his subscribers find his vlogs so entertaining.
That being said, jake likely does plan out a lot of what he says and does.
Its pretty hard to be a YouTuber and not be very calculated about what you choose to put
on the internet.
Number 4.
A sociopath doesn’t consider their own safety, or the safety of others.
Jake paul often terrorizes the people who live in the team 10 house.
Pranks and stunts are a regular part of living with jake paul.
A sociopath might also be someone who’s cruel to other people and animals.
WE know that jake paul has been unneccesarily mean to many of the people who have left team
ten.
Allisa violet claims he assaulted her numerous times, and he bullied and terrorized the Martinez
twins, sometimes making racist remarks about their Spanish heritage.
The pranks he chooses to pull on his house mates are borderline cruel, but most of the
time they end in laughter.
As far as we know though, jake paul is not cruel to his animals.
Logan paul on the other hand…show video of him tazing dead rats.
Number 6.
Sociopaths don’t care about their personal responsibilities.
Someone who doesn’t learn from their mistakes.
An example of this is someone who doesn’t pay their bills on time or someone who is
late for everything important.
Jake paul makes millions of dollars.
As far as we know, jake paul does pay his bills on time even though rent for the house
in Beverly Grove was more than 17 thousand dollars a month.
According to reports, jake paul was being sued by his former landlord, but for damage,
not over a rent dispute.
And since he moved into a new 7 million dollar mansion in Calabasas, jake paul hasn’t been
getting into much trouble with his neighbours.
And lastly, Number 7, a sociopath feels no guilt or remorse for the harm they have caused
other people.
When jake paul messes up and causes controversy, he does apologise.
Whether or not those apologies are genuine remains to be seen.
Sociopaths mimic acceptable behaviour, so he could be apologising because that’s what
he thinks is the acceptable thing to do, not because he actually cares.
But then, would a sociopath care about what other people think in the first place?
Again, probably not.
Murderers and other criminals are often sociopaths.
They display violent behaviour, and don’t feel remorse or guilt.
Jake paul might be annoying and kind of a jerk, but I don’t think that we can put
him in the same category as a major criminal.
Jake paul has insisted that he isn’t a sociopath in a video he uploaded to his channel called,
please watch this before watching shane dawsons series.
In this video, jake paul expressed that he didn’t want to do the docuseries at first
because he didn’t want shane dawson to get flack for it.
A sociopath wouldn’t care about that, a sociopath would welcome the idea of a docuseries.
Its important to note that jake paul is not a well liked person.
Much of the youtube community dislikes him, much of the media also dislikes him.
Canada’s national post called him ‘a moronic menace to society’.
Mashable once called him ‘an absolute terror.
And the publication deadspin said he was the worst person on earth.
Even though his behaviour can appear charming to some, he’s not what most would call a
‘likeable’ person.
That’s one of the reasons why shane dawson chose to make a docuseries on him in the first
place.
Jake paul is a controversial internet personality for a reason.
And furthermore, we don’t know what jake paul is actually like.
The persona that he chooses to put forth on the internet isn’t necessarily what he’s
like in real life.
Even though he might display certain personality traits and behaviours that could appear sociopathic,
he could be very different in real life.
Well, there you have it, did you agree with us?
Did you not?
Let us know, do you think jake paul is a sociopath?
