Can you identify the behaviors associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder?

Can you identify the behaviors associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder? In previous installments of this series, Dr. Phil talked about Narcissistic and Borderline Personality disorders. In this week’s episode, he addresses the “granddaddy” of them all: Antisocial Personality Disorder.

“This has parts of the other two, but now it's weaponized, and it's weaponized with you as the target,” says Dr. Phil. “I'm going to tell you how to spot them, how to see the red flags, so you know when they're coming and have a coping strategy for what to do when they get there.”

I simply gathered my things and said “I don’t believe our priorities align”. And walked out!

After listening to Dr. Phil’s latest podcast this song came up in my spirit. “I can see clear now the rain is gone, I can see all the obstacles out of my way.” Growing up with parents that had their own toxic pathologies made me vulnerable to others in the outside world with these toxic pathologies also. I had no discernment about anything and was oblivious to what was occurring. Thank you Dr. Phil I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all the obstacles out of my way now! 🙌🏻☀️

God bless you Dr. Phil, you Robin and your family abundantly 🙌🏻☀️

Yes Dr. Phil I do know who they are. That assertiveness and how you explained it is so important. Because for me I always let it go and try to make a piece and I always paid for it over and over again.

Narcissistic and/or people with APD hate criticism of any kind. My adult daughter is a narcissist and recently asked me to cosign a loan for a lawyer in a custody battle. I told her she spends money on things she doesn't need and just bought a $40, 000 vehicle at 9% interest. Just explaining why I wouldn't cosign set her off and she came up with things like how toxic I was or that I was a jerk. I didn't raise my daughter and it's difficult to walk away. It is a very sad reality to deal with but it does seem to be more common these days.

Thanks so much. It is so tempting to lash back or set boundaries that say essentially that I am not putting up with this/that anymore. I like your way so much better. It takes action (leaving), it does not attack or allianate. Feels powerful to leave it that way. This video is so timely for me. Been wondering what to do.

[Rose-ezfm]

These people can make you toxic. It is best to get them out of your life.

These clear examples teach others how to behave and how not to behave. People need more role playing to show them clearly what is appropriate and what is not. Keep it up! TY!

Any attempts to stand up, put your foot down with antisocial moral degenerates is met with more hostility and aggression. Protect yourself in the interim as you break away and free yourself from their trauma bond games.

[elriaahossivo]

TRUE, they even cause us to attend psychiatric help over many years. And their behaviour becomes intense as they become older.

This people are the covert cancer of society, starts in the family behind closed doors, the passive aggressive abuse is so hide that not even my kids see it. I was the bad one because my reaction, antisocial sociopaths creates more of the same racing kids with this psychotic behavior, they should teach this at schools. Very emotional damage for their victims I been struggling with consequences for the last 20 years.

[reginawilliams]

Dr Phil I work with these personalities… it’s not easy being assertive… help me

[indigogirl]

Thank you Dr Phil. Making a clear distinction between being assertive and aggressive.

Can you please make a video to Parents of an Adult Sociopath/Psychopath. My daughter is 24 and did something so awful to her sister (26) and her constant lack of empathy is what’s directing us to this diagnosis. We haven’t spoke to her in now 3 months and it breaks my heart. We exchanged emails once and she’s not taking any responsibility for her actions and I can’t just act like nothing happened. We aren’t calling, texting or bugging her. We live in California and she lives in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend (that has been absolutely no help to us) We’re giving her a lot of space partly bc I don’t know how to act towards her anymore. We all saw a very scary side of her that I think woke us up to her anti personality disorder that now is so clear. I need to learn the skills on how to deal with her now and for the future. She grew up with epilepsy and so yes I was/am over-protective and treated her a lot differently than her sister. Plus, her biological father (that she hasn’t had any interaction with since she was maybe a year old was diagnosed as a sociopath. Since then she’s had a wonderful, loving stepfather that helped me raise her. But with all her health issues and some depression and anxiety we did literally everything she wanted us to to make her happy and stay in school, etc. The advise is to stop all interaction with the sociopath, but she is still my daughter. We’ve always been close and this is literally breaking my heart. I need to learn the correct way to deal with her. I think I’m getting stronger with this time of not talking to her but for the time when I have to deal with her I don’t want to cave in and be so emotional. I have learned so much. Yes I totally agree that Knowledge is power. I need more knowledge 😊 so please help. I really appreciate it and all your videos. Thank you thank you thank you so much❤️
