A few days ago my friend told me he was diagnosed with ASPD. However he quickly denied it true. He even went on to say that his old therapist didn't think it was true but took their word because they were professionals.
I do enjoy observing people and even before he told me this I had a similar idea of him. He displays a lack of empathy and sympathy. Once he even told me he thinks sympathy isn't real. He has no concept of morals he thinks they're nonexistent. He manipulates people out of boredom. Actually he seems proud of it too. He tends to be emotionally blank. Before he had told me that he knows what's socially acceptable but it doesn't come 2nd nature to him. I can go deeper and even say he is a bit narcissistic. He has a very high self worth. He thinks less of others.

Even tho I feel he's antisocial is it bad to stay around him? I mean he has told me before that he wouldn't intentionally hurt me. But I've been friends with someone who had aspd before and another person who was narcissistic both times I ended up getting hurt so sorry if I seem to be jumping to conclusions. From everything I've said does he seem like he is antisocial?

Hi, I don't have ASPD but maybe someone will come along who has experience and an answer for you.

I can see why you really want to know if it is true, come on he is your friend. But I would most certainly keep your distance, even narcissists aren't the greatest to hangout with, which I'm sure you know.

I would also post this in the Anti-Social Category, I think you would get more information.

Can I change the category of this thread?

I would send a private message to one of the monitors and ask them so you can get more information on your friend to figure out if it is correct.

Hope for the best between you too though.

He might hurt you, he might not. I would caution you to be careful and to set firm boundaries with him. If he crosses those then you need to cut off contact so you don't get hurt. That's my two cents as a diagnosed narcissist and antisocial.
