Are Aspd more or less emotional than nons?

And how does that figure in behaviour considered disordered for Aspd?

I think.... that nons themselves, have varying ranges of emotion.

There are some that are so sensitive that they well up at scraping their knee, where as there are some that could care less, plus others in between.

It depends on whom you are comparing an ASPD against, if you are comparing against a more emotional person then the ASPD would be considered less emotional and vice versa for the opposite.

I'd like to try and answer your second question but could you tell me what you mean?

like how do certain Aspd emotions (or lack of) lead to certain Aspd behaviours?

I'm pretty certain I have aspd and my therapist is considering it as a new diagnoses but I am also diaganosed with schizoid PD. One of the big things with that is that I don't get very emotional. Anger is probably my strongest emotion, while sorrow or guilt is my least strongest. I tend to not be effected emotionally over things most other people would.

Is guilt even an emotion?


I always figured it was a state of mind followed by one's infringement of one's own morals, internal code or whatever.

This thread has me wondering do different people with ASPD have different ranges of emotion?

For example would one person with ASPD feel strong pleasure but little anger, yet another will feel strong anger but little pleasure, if you get what i mean?

Um... what?

Also, I guess guilt wouldn't be an emotion but I'm not quite sure what it feels like so I always thought it was lol. By "Anger is probably my strongest emotion, while sorrow or guilt is my least strongest" it should have read more like I feel anger the most while sorrow i feel rarely and guilt, never.

Previous question edited, my brain is not switched on at this time

I don't feel much pleasure from anything. That's probably because I don't feel much emotion either.

I don't feel love, guilt or remorse and I rarely ever feel happiness or sadness. Most of the time I don't really feel anything at all, except boredom and occasional anger when I'm pissed off. Sometimes I even have to fake anger because I'm not really feeling anything, but I want the other person to think I am.

I think it would depend on the subtype of Aspd, or whatever their underlying personality is.
