A psychologist chimes in about Vanderpump Rules Tom Sandoval. All anyone has been talking about in the past month has been Tom. Season ten of the show just seemed to show him in his most realistic light. He is, without a doubt, a jerk. But the issue is that people online have been trying to diagnose him with a condition themselves, which can be a slippery slope. With that said, an actual psychologist has chimed in about Tom and what his personality traits really mean.
We will give you a slight spoiler. Everyone online calling him a narcissist and a sociopath are a tad bit off. We also need to step away from all pretending to be doctors online. That is generally not a good look and spreads misinformation to to0 many others.
What Does A Psychologist Say About Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval?
A psychologist chimes in about Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval. Well, come to find out, it is not as cut and dry as just calling him a narcissist. What may prove he is not is the simple idea that narcissists display that behavior all the time. Whereas Tom only busted it out on the show from time to time. That makes it a lot tougher to just call him that flat out. So what are his issues, most likely? Well, the doctor minced no words when he said Tom has an overly inflated sense of self-worth. And that is just the starting point. He goes a lot deeper.
The term arrogant jerk was also tossed around liberally. But being an arrogant jerk does not make you a sociopath or narcissist. It pretty much means in the most scientific way that Tom is definitely a tool. He also is quite good at manipulating people around him. But the psychologist was quick to point something else out. It is not our place to be diagnosing people we see on television. When we do that, it undermines the people who genuinely have said conditions.
We aren’t doctors, after all.
