I am a 25 year old woman was diagnosed with ASPD at age 20, ask me anything
do you have friends? Do they know you have ASPD?
You seem at odds with your diagnosis. What made you post something publicly and why would you want to engage? Good on you, though, for taking the leap!
Do you wish you knew how other’s emotions feel?
Is your life still enjoyable although you experience emotions differently?
Does it take a lot of practice to be able to manipulate others well?
Do you view your condition as a true disorder or an advantageous adaptive trait? (There are some convincing scientific data supporting the idea that psychopathy is not a disorder.)
Can you easily recognize psychopathy in world leaders?
Do you sincerely care about a person in your life?
“Do you wish you knew how other’s emotions feel?”
Yeah, it would give me a lot of insight into those around me.
“Is your life still enjoyable although you experience emotions differently?”
Not really. The thing is with ASPD you get board really quickly and super easily. So I feel like I’m more dependent on thrill and excitement then other people.
“Does it take a lot of practice to be able to manipulate others well?”
Not really. It’s just something that’s second nature to me.
“Do you view your condition as a true disorder or an advantageous adaptive trait? (There are some convincing scientific data supporting the idea that psychopathy is not a disorder.)”
Both, on one hand empathy can be pretty difficult to live with but on the other ASPD is a very stigmatized thing to have.
“Can you easily recognize psychopathy in world leaders?”
I’m not a therapist so no.
“Do you sincerely care about a person in your life”
No, since I’m incapable of caring or empathizing for anyone else.
Thanks for answering the last ones.
I hear ASPD people do not experience anxiety. Do you know what it feels like?
Have you considered suicide due to boredom?
What common emotional traits are most exploitable?
Does the activity with the prisoners satisfy the thrill seeking need you have from boredom?
Not a question, but a comment on your answer about world leaders… It’s surprising that you don’t notice. There are very many antisocial behaviors with world leaders and the very rich. I feel like you will definitely start to notice at some point. There is a lot of gaslighting and manipulation of people based on their anger and prejudice. You’ll see it eventually for sure.
Did you try drinking more water?
no that’s too social of an activity
What’s a typical day look like for you?
Get up really tried, go to work, fuck a bunch of inmates, go home, smoke weed until I past out, repeat
Your job is to have sex with prisoners?
… Elaborate on that, please.
No problem. In prison every now and then when nobody is watching I like to have sex with some of the inmates. It’s half the reason I got the job.
that’s pretty sociable of you
That means you’re a rapist.
“rapist”? I’m a anything but. Trust me, you haven’t seen more willing participants in your life.
They have no other options though, they are incarcerated. And by law you in the power position are commiting a “rape” as defined since they can’t legally consent in the power deficit position. Even if they are willing.
Like age of consent here might be sixteen, but a teacher having sex with a consenting 16 year old is still illegal due to power differential and expectation of trust the position holds.
You could find 1000s of willing participants outside of prison with a dating app.
You could also make an argument that the activity prevents other types of problems by addressing frustration. Nobody cares about stupid laws in papers. There needs to be a better argument here. But honestly, the person is ASPD and does not care. Unless the power dynamic has led to forced sex, there is no abuse here.
The “laws in papers” are regularly enforced in situations like this. By “nobody cares” I assume you mean the current USA adminstration.
Power dynamic doesn’t not have to be forced. Its how the law is, position of trust or authority cannot engage with those below in their care or duty. It gets people fired when they breach it even if the party was fine with it. It is to protect those that could be coerced or forced.
What’re your favorite strains?
sativa
Asking for a friend… If all you answer with is yes and no in a onesided conversation. How do you escape it to fade back into the background?
I don’t, I like talking to people. Having ASPD doesn’t mean your anti social in a typical sense it’s means your anti social as in you have characteristics which go against societal norms.
Why do you like talking to people? Most folks I know who are extravert also have lots of empathy. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Do you lie often? (Yes, I’m aware of the paradoxical nature of this question.)
Yes, I do. I try to keep it about little things though. I don’t lie as much as I did when I was younger. I have made a lot of progress in this area.
hmm… Have that probably something else…
