Also re: interpersonal relationships. I hate trying to find information about ASPD + how it impacts relationships from the perspective of someone with ASPD + how to cope and all I get is "lol twisted cycle paths abusive 🤪" or "here's studies about people in prison. Yep, thats it!" like... this does not help.

I'll answer your other question in the morning, but it's so difficult having a social life with ASPD. I'm an overt narcissist and a pwASPD that actively isolates himself from most people . . . . The "antisocial" part holds up for me very well. I'm quite solitary in nature. I won't get into much about my personal life, but I have found myself being automatically assumed to be an abuser because of my PDs; the second they are revealed to someone, it seems they turn on me and grow to dislike me. ASPD is relatively under-researched with biases in the research that is relatively available—only pulling from prison populations and actual criminals, whilst there are many people with ASPD without a criminal record, that are not offenders. I know many personally, and I am one of those people. But still, it's difficult. I keep to myself to avoid most social interactions out of hopes that people won't treat me weird.
