What Are the Symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder?

While the symptoms of ASPD vary in form and severity from person to person, the most commonly observed are:

Aggressiveness and hostility. Those with ASPD can be quick to anger, and their reaction can lead to aggressive outbursts that can cause physical harm to others.
Impulsivity. People with ASPD often engage in impulsive behaviors that can sometimes lead to risky situations. They are also prone to substance abuse, gambling, and engaging in unprotected s*x.
Irresponsible behavior. People with ASPD rarely take responsibility for their actions and are very unreliable.
Lack of empathy. Those with ASPD struggle or are unable to recognize and understand the emotions of others. They have very little concern for other people's feelings and don't hesitate to harm or exploit others for their own gain.
Manipulative behavior. Those with ASPD have an uncanny ability to charm their way into people's lives and interests, and once they achieve their purposes, they discard them without a second thought.
Repeated criminal offenses. Sufferers are often at odds with the law and often have a history of various legal infractions. They engage in behaviors such as theft, vandalism, physical assault and even murder, with little or no regard for the consequences of their actions.

How Do You Overcome Self-Defeating Personality Disorder?

The first step in overcoming self-defeating personality disorder is recognizing that you have a problem, as many people with this condition may not be aware of their negative behaviors or thought patterns. However, by becoming more self-aware, you can start to recognize when you are engaging in self-defeating behaviors and take steps to change them.

One effective way to overcome self-defeating personality disorder is to seek professional help. A therapist experienced in treating personality disorders can help you identify the underlying causes of your negative behavior and work with you to develop strategies for changing these patterns.

There are also many support groups and self-help resources available that can provide you with guidance and encouragement.
