A fifteen minute video, but I shut it off at ten minutes because after that is a shoe commercial. TD
*10 Signs of Sociopathy and How To Handle It . . ." 'Sociopath” is an outdated, harmful term once used to describe someone who’s been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Sociopathy itself isn’t a formal diagnosis. But the behaviors it describes are often part of the diagnostic criteria for ASPD. The most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) defines ASPD as a disorder that causes you to:
- Have a lack of empathy for others
- Disregard social norms
- Act impulsively without considering the consequences
"People living with ASPD often engage in consistent and repetitive abusive behaviors like gaslighting, manipulation and deceit — often without even knowing it or acknowledging it.
“We’ve turned away from using the term ‘sociopath’ because it’s been used in the past to demonize people,” explains Dr. Ford. “But in reality, someone who’s living with ASPD has a hard time developing empathy for other people. As a result, they may have a hard time trusting others and sometimes, fall into an isolated pattern of thinking.”
When confronted about their behavior, someone with ASPD may rely on misdirection, sarcasm, lying or invalidation to achieve their desired outcome.
