AsPD specifically, or just personality disorders in general?
@hatefilled, you may be right, I can be something unholy when unleashed. But I follow through like the worst son of a bitch on the planet and don't make idle threats.
@Pink01 and thrill, don't know all the details and doesn't matter either. My folks were fucked up and the genetics really did not help worth a shit. Made it better for me and worse at the same time. It's not a "curse" but, being aware of it. I'll rot in hell before I allow the crap of any of that mangle me.
It's kind of a mixed blessing..not afraid to give anything a shot. Is it the "bogus" confidence? Don't know, but what I can say, is I rarely fail and nothing holds me back other than the threat of death or being physically mangled past the point of being able to heal.
My parents may have fucked up, and I mean royally, my brother is the other casualty. But I sure as hell will not.
Like most of it, seems it's a matter of degree, when you know what it can do to harm others and whether or not you want to change it. Which is sort of where the "mask" bull plays in, and even then...to a degree, but meh ..so long as I keep my mouth shut, I can blend in. Let my real thoughts fly? Then so does the shit. Mind you, sometimes, it's just fun to see what happens as well.
GAWD , I so get myself in trouble for some really stupid stuff, but just can't resist. Never really major, but...just shitz and giggles.
For the most part, I agree with you about most of them. But schizotypal, that seems to just... happen. I know people react differently to different stressors and developmental blocks in their life, but how does a rough childhood bring on something like schizotypal? The symptoms of it make me think it's mostly inherent and can only be moderated with a good environment.

Interesting on the schizotypal. The depressive aspect would make it hard though I would imagine. Don't know. Seems that therapy is helpful as well. Suppose it will be like many things, the amount of effort required and sticking to it even when you don't want to. But forcing yourself through the crap till you can better manage the symptoms rather than they control you.

by whoameyeA shrink told me one time that he thinks something happened to me at the age of 2 or 3 that set the chain of events in motion.
No memories?
Nope. He tried hypnosis on me. That shit didn't work I tried to do what he said. My mind wont let me go under.
