@ddievito @AFolivora @BonnieBabyVamp@tasteofsanity Diagnoses like this and others (e.g.) Antisocial Personality Disorder, are used to keep people in jail, not keep them out. These disorders are the quantification of types of evil. So yes, disorders can mean you're evil
@marniiiii02 @gwenlynlea @rosie_rhea @ddievito @AFolivora @BonnieBabyVamp@tasteofsanity Or do you mean the official characterization, cause if that then you're right obviously. So my bad if thats what u meant
@marniiiii02 @gwenlynlea @rosie_rhea @ddievito @AFolivora @BonnieBabyVamp@tasteofsanity How does not have anything to do with reduced empathy? It's literally reduced cognitive empathy. If you have a hard time understanding the emotions of someone is that not a lack of empathy? Same goes for autism too, lack of ToM, characterized by lack of empathy
@rosie_rhea @ddievito @AFolivora @BonnieBabyVamp@tasteofsanity It's a weird thing though. Some studies show excess empathy, while others show less, and brain patterns show less connections in the empathic brain structures, so it's not completely understood yet. However, when emotional, people with BPD seem to override empathy
@gwenlynlea @rosie_rhea @ddievito @AFolivora @BonnieBabyVamp@tasteofsanity Well yeah, kind of. It's a weird mix of feeling the empathy but not acting upon the empathy. They tend to feel immense emotional pain and when that pain is triggered it then overrides that strong empathy that they have. Ex: Amber Heard slicing a finger
