For those who don't know, I already have been diagnosed with a bundle of stuff, and for personality disorders, it is narcissistic, schizoid and schizotypal, although NPD is the strongest.
So, after telling him the new symptoms and seeing him look blank as usual, I asked him if he finds anything new. Apparently he did. He said I meet the requirements and everything for Anti-Social Personality Disorder.
Now, already knowing I have NPD, is it possible to have both? He was unsure if it was both or simply NPD taken to a far end of the continuum.
With NPD, it says you don't recognize feelings in others. This is true but what if you don't recognize in yourself? Feeling constant anger and not feeling other feelings for years and years.
So can one have NPD and ASPD or is it not possible? I know there's considerable overlap between the two and that's why we're confused, whether it is both or simply an extension of NPD.
Any ideas here?
