Hi,
I am a 24 year old woman who was diagnosed at age 19 with ASPD aka sociopathy/psychopathy, Ask Me Anything.
You're viewing a single thread.
What are some stereotypes of ASPD that you find to be true (or not true)?
That we're all serial killers. ASPD isn't going to make you a serial killer more than anyone other personality disorder. Also, that we're all abusers and can't be trusted.
Honestly there isn't that many accurate stereotypes about people with ASPD. It's been so demonised in the media and pop psychology. The Idea people get of ASPD usually comes from sensationalist movies or TV shows.
Can you pick a specific well-known depiction of ASPD and compare what is similar and dissimilar to your experience?
A common example is Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho'. From what I've seen Bateman is obsessed with how he's seen by others and is prone to having power fantasies. He seems more NPD to me. I don't really care how I look anymore then any other woman does.
