Were you surprised by the diagnosis and has it held you back?
I have this disorder myself. Although when I was diagnosed back in 81 we didn’t have these fancy terms like “anti-social personality disorder” it was just sociopath/psychopath back then.
Yes I was. I had known about ASPD and always through of people who had it as serial killers and abusers. When I was diagnosed there was an awkward moment where I was like “so… I guess I’m a sociopath now💀🥀”
“has it held you back?”
No but it could. Nobody but me and the person who diagnosed me knows but if I ever get dragged to court I now have a piece of paper that makes me look bad and if anyone did a medical background check on me it wouldn’t be a good look to say the least.
