I often get confused as I understand that the two disorders can overlap a lot. I was diagnosed BPD a few years ago, yet recently once again I was diagnosed ASPD because I show a lot of the signs of it. Mostly because I have a distinct inability to empathize with my actions and have no desire to make new friendships with people. I'll talk to a brick wall because it passes the time, but becoming close to people my therapist says I generally show little interest because I drop people from my life on a regular basis. So I often get confused on where my BPD ends and my ASPD begins.
And by the same token. I have half the people I know completely agree with my ASPD dx and half the people I know not agree with the dx at all. This includes treatment people at my treatment place. It's just become rather confusing. I don't see the benefit of empathy nor making new friendships. I have few friends and that's fine by me. If they wrong me, I get rid of them.
My treatment facility won't treat my ASPD because apparently it's untreatable.
