People with ASPD often appear charming or normal on the surface but show little to no genuine empathy, guilt, or concern for how their actions affect others. They may manipulate, lie, break rules, or harm people without feeling bad about it. The term is sometimes distinguished informally from “psychopath” (psychopathy is viewed by some researchers as more genetically based, calculated/cold, and less impulsive, while sociopathy is seen as more environmentally influenced and erratic), but the DSM-5-TR does not make that distinction—both fall under ASPD. https://t.co/1TquR9k65B
That pretty much narrows down… 😂
