Logan Paul hits back at criticisms around \u2018sociopath\u2019 self-diagnosis Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul recently responded to criticism surrounding his implied \u2018self-diagnosis\u2019 of sociopathic tendencies during a video he made in response to Shane Dawson\u2019s ongoing docuseries. A Tweet created by political YouTuber and author Peter M. Coffin called out Paul\u2019s treatment of Antisocial Personality Disorder, and suggested that he should do more research on the topic. \u201c\u2026Logan Paul openly claims he has \u2018sociopathic tendencies\u2019 and talks about how it could be dangerous to lose control\u2019 implies that he\u2019s likely been exposed to false information about mental health,\u201d Coffin wrote. \u201cNot going to armchair, but I think he should do some research.\u201d Also of note: that @LoganPaul openly claims he has “”sociopathic tendencies”” and talks about how it could be “”dangerous to lose control”” implies that he’s likely been exposed to false information about mental health. Not going to armchair, but I think he should do some research. \u2014 The Honorable Judge Peter M. Coffin :key: (any\/all) (@petercoffin) October 3, 2018 Paul responded to the criticisms in kind, citing his past year of controversy after filming a deceased individual in Japan\u2019s Aokigahara \u2018Suicide Forest.\u2019 \u201cWhat do you think I\u2019ve been doing the entire year?,\u201d he replied. \u201cYou have been misinformed; please take your own advice and do some research (not on the internet).\u201d what do you think I\u2019ve been doing the entire year? you have been misinformed; please take your own advice & do some research (not on the internet) https:\/\/t.co\/fZxKw27O4Z \u2014 Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) October 3, 2018 However, Coffin ended up backtracking, and followed up by saying that he felt Logan was \u2018painting himself into a corner\u2019 with his diagnosis and was being \u2018too harsh\u2019 on himself. The response video in question took issue with Dawson\u2019s handling of the term \u2018sociopath,\u2019 feeling as though the YouTuber was using it synonymously with \u2018psychopath.\u2019 Additionally, Paul stated that he felt \u2018sociopathic tendencies\u2019 fell on a spectrum, and even admitted that he possessed sociopathic traits in a series of DMs to Dawson that were read aloud in the documentary\u2019s third episode. Shane\u2019s docuseries has spurred a wide conversation on mental health and Antisocial Personality Disorder, much of which has been targeted at larger YouTubers, celebrities, and high-profile CEOs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
