8 Signs of Antisocial Personality Disorder

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental condition in which a person has a lasting pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others without any remorse and it is linked to sociopathy. While only 3% of men and 1% of women suffer from this disorder in the US according to PsychologyToday, it is important for us to discuss it. In our previous video, we talked about what Antisocial Personality Disorder really is, so today, we want to look deeper into the signs of antisocial personality disorder.

i am formally diagnosed with aspd and please remember this disorder is a spectrum and not a cookie-cutter diagnosis. this video mainly highlights the traits of someone with aspd with less self-awareness. a lot of us do not completely lack morals and choose to be good people, even if we have little to no empathy in general.

As someone like this, I lie compulsively not to exploit people, but just because I’m very poorly versed in social interaction, so I just lie around it to get through it. Personally, I only manipulate if I need to, just to get by. I just don’t care enough about most people to actually exploit them. To be honest, I’m just really lazy and I cut corners.

I have antisocial personality disorder and there is a lots of misunderstanding about the lack of empathy. It's not really a lack of empathy, but the ability to turn off any empathy and emotions easily, but when you are younger it is more difficult to turn it on and off whenever you want, to you tend to find yourself in situations where you should have empathy but doesn't have any, or in other situations where you might find a certain kind of empathy towards people who doesn't deserves empathy. But as you grow older and actually get some sort of help for you antisocial behaviours it is easier to turn on your empathy and actually be able to have empathy.

BUT we don't experience empathy like someone who is "normal", we have our own kind of empathy.

Ps: I don't usually speak English sorry if there is a lot of typos and mistakes

I had most of the symptoms for the dark triad when I was younger, turned out I have a severe dissociative disorder and when I turned 20 had a total breakdown of guilt, shame, and empathy.

Stigma. Stigma. Stigma. I suffer from ASPD and I'm not some horrible person. I struggle to make connections. I feel a lot emotions I just have low empathy. I know what's right and wrong. I can understand and heal. Stop painting people with trauma based disorders as abusive or automatically bad. We don't have low morals. I struggle with empathy. I lie to avoid conflict not to use people or blame people. I have to tell my friends to call me out so I can learn. Stigma stigma stigma.

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.

You never know another person’s background and what they could be going through.

the way mimiyuuh is the thumbnail makes it more better

[doombread]

As someone who lives with someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder, this isn't accurate. The tone used makes it seem like its more often the case that people with the disorder are just evil and want to be the bad guy so to speak. I would like to mention that that is an extreme. Just because you have the disorder doesn't mean you're going to check every box. I wish they made that more clear in all of their videos but they don't really and it can be really harmful to the disorders they try to bring awareness to.
