just interested.....any female anti socials on line willing to share a rough guide to how being a anti social has manifested in their lives???

[Demon]

I am a female sociopath. I am 38 years old, so I've been this way for quite some time now. I was diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder several years ago. I'm not entirely sure how it manifested in my life. A psych I went to recently told me that she thinks it's likely there is a biological reason as to why I am the way I am. She mentioned something about my brain being underdeveloped in certain areas due to the abuse I experienced as a child.
I suspect my mother is a sociopath as well. She used to exhibit a lot of the traits of it when she was younger (lying, stealing, manipulative, completely emotionless at times and I'm certain she's incapable of loving anyone). My mother seems to have mellowed as she's gotten older. She doesn't steal things anymore and I don't think she lies much anymore either, but she can still be manipulative at times and her emotions haven't improved in the slightest. Love is something I've never been able to feel either, so as you can imagine there's never been any kind of bonding between my mother and I.
Anyway, if you have any questions, just ask and I'll answer them when I can.

Hah, it doesn't seem that this forum gets a lot of traffic... While I have not been diagnosed officially as a sociopath, I have VERY many symptoms in common as a result of being in just about constant Bipolar mania. Also coincides with my Narcissistic PD.
It's been very difficult for me to decide to get "assistance" as I can very well manage on my own & don't need anyone else in my life to cope. But at the same time, I manage to outweigh the pros & cons & it has turned out that getting "help" is to my best advantage if I want to lead the successful life I know I am capable of. Throughout the years, I have gone through some dark times & ****ed up the few support systems who tolerate me as I am. That put me in some very disadvantageous positions, especially on a practical level. I've also garnered a lot of enemies & a bad reputation which has been rather bothersome, to say the least. I'm not at liberty to discuss the things I've done or the reasons I've done them beyond lying cheating stealing manipulating hurting etc., but... Let us just say that there is a lot of cognitive dissonance involved between being an intelligent being who looks after myself #1 & doing whatever I damn well please. There is a clear difference & they don't always coincide with one another.
I hope that helps a little.

thanks for the feedback!

disguise: Glad it helped! Though I must say, as of recently, I'm doing a hell of a lot better than my aforementioned post. It astounds me that I have a positive, close relationship that's not entirely dysfunctional, & after moving away from Florida... All of that "reputation & enemies" ******** has ceased to exist. So it's really not all that bad. Currently I'm trying to transfer all of my self-preserving energy into keeping myself motivated for the upcoming college semester so I can get my Ph.D & have my dream career.

and this is where the hopes for improvents are proved correct. Im glad to hear things are going well

Hahah right?! All of the wannabe psychologists & their garbage how one can't properly assimilate/succeed with a personality disorder or psychological issue... It's as simple as getting a professional to get you under control (if you can't seem to do it yourself) & doing **** that fulfills you. Isn't that what people are supposed to do anyway, regardless of any afflictions, psychological or otherwise? Bah.

Thank you though!!

While I don't know much about "lables", I CAN tell you about labels & the fact that they are wholly unnecessary. & No, if you want to call anyone an "emotional retard" for a lack of better words it would be schizoid personality disorder as they fail to comprehend the need for human emotions, versus either ignoring them or using them to their own benefit. But everyone is individuated in their perspective & how they respond to situations, so I think even the stereotypical nature of ANY psychological/personality disorder is only correct to a miniscule degree.

unlikely you would agree, now passed the buck down the line.

female ASPD-er right here

As for me...I'll be honest... I feel nothing most of the time. I love very few people.. like 3, the whole wide world. All the rest of the people in the world can suffer and die; And I'd love to assist ;p

haha

But yeah. I basically am just me. Most people are full of B.S. and I tell them that. I'm just a "take no *****" type-of-gal ;]

With women it isn't called "anti-social" it's called: Really Bad PMS.
