[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650682, member: 1550"] No. Borderline is different. Antisocial personality disorder is the most serious of all of the personality disorders. Basically an antisocial has no conscience and studies have been done showing that their brains react to things, especially blood, gore and violence, much differently than other people. They don't get bothered by watching bad things happening to people, like most of us do. There was a study shown on television, explaining the difference between antisocials and others. It was very interesting. Unfortunately, antisocials do not have regular human emotions and lack empathy and approach every person as "What can you do for me?" That's about it. They don't understand, say, love. Some stay within the law. Many break the law because they don't feel it applies to them and think they are smarter than the powers that be. Many end up in jail. Our worst serial killers are antisocials, however most do not kill people, although stealing and scheming and conning is often their sport. Basically, they want as much as they can get for as little work as possible. They have little understanding of the emotions others have and do not think of people like most do. They see them more as objects either for their gain or obstructing them, and they can be dangerous to people that they see either way. They can take advantage of somebody vulnerable and steal her blind or they can hurt somebody who they feel is in their way. And they don't feel guilty.
