I'm quite interested in AsPD and as I've been reading about it, I've noticed that most people believe that those with AsPD can't feel love at all. I've also come across people with AsPD who say they can care about others and love them but in a different way.
Their description of love is more about seeing people they care about as possessions or how useful someone is to them and they won't tolerate anyone hurting them due to this. It comes across as a selfish kind of love that benefits them in some way.
I define love as being willing to make sacrifices for someone else and putting their needs ahead of yours because you want them to be happy, even if it doesn't benefit you in any way.
I'd say that this is what most people view as true love but how does your version of love differ from this?
