Featured in Jeremy Vine: Episode #5,195 (2022)
Narrative
An anthology series about high-profile crimes or killers that captured the attention and notoriety of the public.. Evan Peters [Jeffrey Dahmer] says they had only one rule from Ryan Murphy [Creator] to follow until the series: that he did not will never tell from Dahmer’s Point of View. "As an audience, you don’t really sympathize with him. You don’t really get into his situation. Rather, you look at it, you know, from the outside.". In many episodes there is 3M Command(TM) tape displayed in the kitchen of Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment, which takes place no later than 1991. 3M released its first wave of Command(TM) products in 1996.
A chronic alcoholic from a very young age
For those interested in the psychology of a serial killer, there is no more fascinating character study than Jeffrey Dahmer. He was a psychiatric enigma and a deeply ill individual. A sexual deviant with all kinds of unusual fetishes. The Necrophile. A cannibal. A pure psychopath and the product of a perfect storm of schizotypal/borderline personality disorder, developmental toxicity (psychoactive drug exposure in utero), negative parental influence, childhood neglect and trauma, morbid curiosity with the macabre, social exclusion at school, and deep feelings of loneliness, sexual confusion and insecurity. He longed to be cared for and loved by his family.
He longed to be accepted by his peers
But at the same time, he knew deep down that he would inevitably disappoint his parents because of his inability to live a normal life and that he would not be accepted by his friends because of his strange personality. We all tend to seek out like-minded people and make connections with those with whom we have something in common. The problem was that Jeffrey knew there was no one there with the same interests or vision as him. Left alone by absent parents and socially isolated, he became increasingly withdrawn and followed a path of introversion and solitude. He must have felt that he did not belong to this world and that there was no place. for him in society, so he abandoned all attempts to participate and pursued a voyeuristic lifestyle. He lacked a clear or positive self-image, meaning his perspective of other people was distorted, causing him to fully embrace his warped perception of pleasure and satisfaction.
It was evident from his own admissions
The men he was attracted to were only sex objects to him; walking and talking sex dolls. His interest was only in their aesthetic or physical appearance. He seemed to have been a deeply troubled soul from the start, and his behaviors were mainly a consequence of his genetic makeup, exacerbated by negative life experiences. If his childhood had been a more positive one, then he might have adapted better to his personal limitations and dysfunctions, but there is no way to know the extent of the damage his upbringing had on him. that he felt destined to live an unusual and unorthodox lifestyle due to his innately bizarre character. The conventional joys of life just didn’t float Jeffrey’s boat. I rarely, if ever, feel sorry for multiple murderers, especially those who commit such heinous and sickening crimes as Dahmer.
But I have to admit that I found his story tragically sad
In Dahmer’s case, I feel conflicted with a strange understanding and empathy for his actions. Of course I don’t condone what he did, but I can appreciate how and why the sequence of events happened. In his TV interviews, he was so open, honest and open, which is exceptionally rare for someone in his situation.
