I find during sex, i adopt my "empty" expression without realizing it. I have only been asked once why i looked so empty during sex.
How do you all deal with masking during sex?Or do you find your partners don't care?
Why do you focus so much on it? Part of therapy is finding ways in which you can be you, find those that accept you for you if that's what you want, and find better ways to cope with the illness. Do you go to therapy for your ASPD? Your therapist would likely give you CBT and DBT classes to help you deal with the cognitive distortions and other aspects of this illness. There are also drugs that reduce the frustration and whatnot.
While not curable, if you actually have this disorder, it is manageable.
Also, if you stop and be the real you, you'll find more people will like you for that real you. Though unfortunately, you're going to have to deal with the fact that people aren't going to always be so accepting. And once you drop the mask, every neurotic will be up your ass.
by PrayforoursinnersTell me about it! You drop you're mask and people want you committed and shit. Ummm now about no.
And they call us amoral. Pshh
Will you really? Or is that one of your fears? It will have an impact on your interactions with people, but unless you're gonna be in trouble with the law, you'll just look disinterested. If at work, you're going to have like company. At home, well if you live alone you'll be fine. Problems won't occur if you're not making yourself standout by doing stupid shit.
Regardless you will find your extremist that believe all Sociopaths/Psychopaths need to be gone from the world or locked in cages. You have a point however to most people I look disinterested and indifferent. At times it is a problem but not always. I stick to myself most of the time.
