I've seen a few people describe Antisocial's as being 'fearless'.
It seems strange to me, because in my experience, and after all I've learned about this disorder, 'coward' seems a more fitting term...
What's your opinion?
It all depends in which context the term "fearless" is being used.
ie. If I was to start up a new business, I'd be "fear-ful" of failure, however, I'd turn this fear to my advantage and use it as my main motivator to be successful.
If I was to save a family member from certain death, then I'd certainly be "fear-less" without a shadow of a doubt.
sighs i seriously don't want to be the teacher but i suppose i have to be
fear is an emotion linked to the self preservation of ones self
but when the emotions are damaged or mutated to be born different the fear isn't present as much as it would for other people
fear can be a combination of emotions sparking at a single moment at the same time.. anxiety, sadness, others i forgot
you are calling a fearless person coward based on you having the emotions that they do not when they thought of preserving their self and not yours so as you call them coward they escaped the lava and you got burnt alive
