Have you a link for this? Oh sorry just seen it is your opinion

Not a single link I'm afraid, the information with regards to a lack of empathy has been well researched and published.

Probably the weight of her nose causing her head to tilt at weird angles.

There are plenty of people with mental disorders but they are not nasty & vile to other people.
It's still no excuse for hurting others.
Katie knows what she is doing.

Her "disease" is that she's just as ugly on the inside as on the outside.

[smudgie]

I thnk she is just driven by greed.
She has no real talent, therefore it is easier to just 'act out' her hate.
She is clever enough to know that controversy sells, just not clever enough to realise you reap what you sow, one day Karma will come and bite her on the backside.
The only thng mssing from her brain is a conscience, she cares not who she hurts or damages by her articles. The media that employ her or give her a platform to spew her bile are just as guilty.

agree totally

I think it's worrying to narrow what is "normal" in human behaviour and responses and treat too much outside of that as a "disorder".

Where things affect ones ability to cope or deal with life effectively, then indeed diagnoses can be more than just useful.

It is also argued that we need humans with a different mix or degree of different traits and as long as they aren't dysfunctional then we shouldn't be too concerned about saying something is "wrong".

In certain circumstances it could be seen as highly desirable to have a less empathetic or more sociopathic leaning for survival.

Very well put and I totally agree, Katie in a real survival situation would be a better companion that most other people. Certainty in a genuine war situation she would make a good leader. I also would guess that she would make sacrifices without emotional regret as all the best leaders are prepared to do.

Yep, absolutely this. We need sociopaths in our world but we just need them in the right places.

They can also be dangerous to follow and misinterpret which I think the public popularity is largely. If she is a sociopath and is charming a lot of people I don't really understand why we aren't all falling for it. Are we the cynics or the empaths?

You nailed asbergers much more information eloquently than I did. You are right people with asbergers that I have had experience with have all been remorseful when realising they have done something wrong in the sense of hurting others with detachment or violence. Hopkins for me seems to lack empathy.

We are empaths and we listen to our intuition. BTW, have you ever read a book called 'The Gift of Fear"?. I think you would enjoy it.

Those who are indifferent to someone bullying or take sides with a bully tend to be apaths.

Very odd.

Showing life to be unfair

[TwentyFourSeven]

I think that Katie H's weird expressions are her way of mocking people and being condescending when listening to a person talking, without having to say anything.

[bots]

KH is a very animated speaker. She uses her entire body to express her opinions. I think its something she has learnt to do as it reinforces any positions she takes in arguments. Perez is very similar to her in that regard. Her body movement when others are talking is an inability to let others have an opinion without having some sort of input. Even if she doesn't say anything, people know what she is thinking. Its also very interesting that the other housemates always look to her for some sort of gesture of acceptance if they make a point in a discussion.

Contrast this behaviour to Michelle who is almost a polar opposite. It would be almost impossible to work out what Michelle was thinking

Yes! I said that yesterday about Kav during the Eamon Holmes task, everytime he said something he looked over at Katie as if he was looking for some sort of sign of approval

[chuff me dizzy]

I love the faces she pulls and the raised eyebrow !!! long may she raise it !!

[InOne]

Attachment disorder with Sociopathic traits.

[Razor]

I find the way she talks to people annoying. She basically talks as though she was addressing a five year old and not forgetting the over use of her hands.

[DemolitionRed]

I think some people can get overly obsessive and when that happens they tend to demonize anyone who annoys the person they are fixated on. There has certainly been a lot of that going on in here. We all see things differently and make judgements accordingly. It only gets frustrating when we can't convert the masses..."why can't they see what we see?", "Why can't we see what they see?" Our expectations exceed what can be delivered and that's what causes frustration.

Its interesting that Katie Price can't see the demon in Parez. Yes he's annoying, yes he's obnoxious, loud and too full of himself a lot of the time and to an extent he became the victim of his own making, but there are things I like about Parez. There's nothing forced about him which makes him very transparent; I guess I like that transparency.

I think the real question is, "is there anything right with her?"

I'm glad I'm not the only one it seems she can't physically go five minutes without gurning

Is anything right with her?
