It may not have just been her attractiveness but also how she treated them. We stopped at a gas station in the wee hours of the morning, as my husband pumped gas, at least 7 or 8 people approached and asked for money (some borderline demanded it). I noticed on the way out of the gas station my husband went out of the way to give money to one of the men. When he got back in the car my husband just looked at me and said, “He’s the only one who said please.”

it is easy to be hypothetically and idealistically kind from a distance. However, if you are intentionally defrauded and abused by one of these psychopathic types, then you might experience less kind emotions. An extreme, but well-known case, to illustrate my point, would be the late Bernie Madoff. I doubt many of his victims came away from the experience with a soft spot in their hearts. Psychopathy and shameless conscience-free selfishness and deceptions harm people and society in many ways. It is good to be able to assess the real personality of people via one's own intuition, then you will be less likely to be victimized by people who, basically, are inhumane dehumanizers who make a living by deceiving others. Some of them can even fool psychiatrists, for a while. However, if it is true that narcissism is on the rise in our society, imo, the society or country can sort of rot from within, polarize people into divisive factions, 😅a most unfortunate situation.

I'd certainly feel bad for them when their main victim seems to be them, as it seems it may be in this case (I don't know all the details). When it comes to other people being harmed while the narcissist seems to skate away without consequence, emotionally I'd feel far less sympathetic even if logically I might conclude they were maybe no more in control of events than the first person was. Maybe that's a judgmental flaw in me, but maybe it's down to me not trusting that people who get away with things while harming others aren't fully aware deep down what they are doing, but just don't care.

That song, 'The Royal Nonesuch', introduced by a shyster character called the duke, is comical and earwormily upbeat. If you can stand country music, you might check it out, if you aren't already familiar with it. . . otherwise, you might regret hearing it.

Well, many people have grandiosity, although they can covertly hide it. Basically, imo, it is simply a lack of humility and honesty. I have been watching Dr. Grande videos for years now, and at first they seemed to be efforts to educate the public in general on psychological concepts, and some of those videos were really excellent. Now, too often, imo, they are responses to a popular interest in true crime. Sometimes they are like clickbait, addictive. He does get to the point, but is it really beneficial to overly focus on the poor choices of others? Nevertheless, sometimes he will say a sentence or a few, at the end of the video, which are almost like the aphoristic summary of an Aesop's fable. Interesting and useful. That is how I rationalize indulging in Dr. Grande's almost OCD-like production of short videos.

How tragic.

Lying was like breathing for her.

Pretty sure mental illness is involved here .

Are you sure the gala wasn't planned to be at Four Seasons Landscaping?

Too funny.

Hello, this is Starbucks Grande. Today's question is, can I analyze the case of why I cost $10 when you can get a large coffee at any gas station for $2? Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anyone in this video, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this. Do I think a person buying me is crazy? Yes, they are crazy beyond a reasonable doubt. Leave your questions and comments below. They always generate an interesting dialogue. Thanks for watching.

Haha. I rather get the $2 coffee. It's good enough for me. I'm not a coffee snob.

I enjoyed your show. BTW, I met Jo Franklin in 1980 in Saudi Arabia where I was teaching English. Jo was producing a PBS documentary “Saudi Arabia.” She struck me as glamorous, confident and passionate about her work. I followed her PBS career from afar. I began writing a memoir in 2022 ‘Land of Sand’ and tried reconnecting with her. My search began to uncover a life that had spiraled out of control. I finally spoke with Jo’s ex-husband and brother who confirmed her struggle with mental illness. She died several months later. A tragedy. 😢

"I Always Wanted the Limelight"- The Cameras, the Surgery, and the Pinnacle of Ordinary Success Self-published author, filled with cliches and cheap erotica, Jo went down the rabbit hole of ordinary success. Few people have been near the pinnacle, but going into debt made it possible to turn her debt burden around after inheriting roughly half a million dollars. Jo wished to make her mark in the academic world with an endowed chair. The chair never materialized. Sometimes many people doubt the existence of chairs. Chairs are pieces of matter that appear to be chairs, but are actually not chairs, but a swarm of atomic activity. To see this fact you need a special pair of glasses, the type of glasses used by Rowdy Roddy Piper in the famous John Carpenter movie "They Live." (1988) In that film the main character says, looking for employment, "I have my own tools." Unfortunately, Jo never had much of a took kit. Thank you.

I feel sorry for her, mental illness is a horrible disease.

She could really talk a good game. She did OK for herself, but couldn't accept and work on her limitations or accept help. Sad for her and those who cared for her.

With looks and intelligence she would have realized she could have had millionaires to want her. But it seems she wanted to say she made it by herself.

What an AMAZING brother. Good for him

Wisest words were never spoken. Thank you Dr. Grande.

'SHE STRUGGLED WITH MARIJUANA" ? C'mon Doc

Me following along aloud: "First I'll look at the background....move to the timeli-My analysis....!?..." .... I have a long way to go before I master my predictive Grande.

Hey Dr. Grande, could you do your analysis of Dr. Jack Boyle from Murder in Mansfield? Would love to get your take on it. And his poor son Collier - he went through so much. Thank you and I love your channel!

I lived in my car for 3 years. I was very frugal and quit alcohol and cannabis. I went to the gym every day and ate canned legumes and spinach. I worked part time and invested in Tesla. Thanks to Mr. Musk and his talented teams I was able to make a sizeable down payment on a tiny fixer-upper. So I now have a house but need to work full time in a physically demanding job to pay the mortgage. The difference between me and some other poor/uneducated folks is that I am very frugal and I always work as much as my health allows. Not having self control is a killer. Oh and I'm male so I'm invisible to people. No pretty privilege for me.

Thank you Dr.Grande!! Amazing job!!!❤

She couldn't escape her ego. Too bad, she seems like she could be an interesting person in some circles. The rouse to help her get a home is so creative and kind :) loved that.

Boxed wine is so bulky. Not easy to conceal. Plus, you need a glass and some gravity to imbibe. She should have gone for the Carlo Rossi.

Thanks for this one Doc… very informative and exceptionally important for those of us who are not fully familiar with psychosis and how it presents. I’ve seen a lot of it in the past 33 years and struggled with my own traits. I’m surprised that you didn’t say more about marijuana psychosis, bi polar deceptive behaviour and her staunch refusal to acknowledge her issues. I really appreciated your insights and the facts supporting your suggestions. The story highlighted for me the unavoidable truth that Jo was reluctant face. How do you “talk someone down” when they refuse to see reason? In my daily dealings with marijuana users I’m staggered by the lengths they’ll go to in order to avoid seeing the truth of their actions and the results that can only be achieved by refusing to see reason. For this to have gone on for so many years in Jo’s case … I can only imagine the soul crushing conversations and confrontations initiated by her husband, siblings, friends and children. All to no avail. It’s a good thing that they didn’t give up and walk away. Her suffering must have been immeasurable… second only to those that loved her.

Hi Dr. Grande, Excellent analysis. As always I learn something new from your videos.

Same! 😊

The Prince Harry tangent slam was unnecessary and untrue. He founded the Invictus Games and his book was a bestseller. Interesting that Grande made excuses for Kate's photo finagling, but never misses a chance to insult Harry and Meghan. It's getting tiresome. As for Jo, she was both tragic and a scammer. Wouldn't be the first person who engenders both disgust and pity.

Appreciate your comment. I don't understand the online hate that gets directed at Harry and Meghan. (Some of it is perhaps led by palace PR employees.) It's a "bandwagon" at this point. Dr. Grande has jumped on the bandwagon. Some commenters praise his remarks, and then he panders more, in response. Doing this is one habit he can maybe evolve past. The videos are still good, and interesting.

Alcoholic behavior takes many namy forms . Just my experience.

She was on Charlie Rose.
