Yeah, it would give me a lot of insight into those around me.
“Is your life still enjoyable although you experience emotions differently?”
Not really. The thing is with ASPD you get board really quickly and super easily. So I feel like I’m more dependent on thrill and excitement then other people.
“Does it take a lot of practice to be able to manipulate others well?”
Not really. It’s just something that’s second nature to me.
“Do you view your condition as a true disorder or an advantageous adaptive trait? (There are some convincing scientific data supporting the idea that psychopathy is not a disorder.)”
Both, on one hand empathy can be pretty difficult to live with but on the other ASPD is a very stigmatized thing to have.
“Can you easily recognize psychopathy in world leaders?”
I’m not a therapist so no.
“Do you sincerely care about a person in your life”
No, since I’m incapable of caring or empathizing for anyone else.
I hear ASPD people do not experience anxiety. Do you know what it feels like?
Have you considered suicide due to boredom?
What common emotional traits are most exploitable?
Does the activity with the prisoners satisfy the thrill seeking need you have from boredom?
Not a question, but a comment on your answer about world leaders… It’s surprising that you don’t notice. There are very many antisocial behaviors with world leaders and the very rich. I feel like you will definitely start to notice at some point. There is a lot of gaslighting and manipulation of people based on their anger and prejudice. You’ll see it eventually for sure.
“Do you wish you knew how other’s emotions feel?”
Yeah, it would give me a lot of insight into those around me.

Thanks for answering the last ones.
