10 Symptoms of an Antisocial Personality Disorder
Symptom #2: Manipulative
People with Antisocial Personality Disorder can often be very charming and witty. This helps them to gain favor with others, winning people over emotionally and managing to convince them that they can be trusted, even when that trust is abused at the expense of other people.
Somebody with Antisocial Personality Disorder will often be happy to manipulate other peoples’ emotions to help them get what they want. Emotional blackmail is a common tactic, and they might even use such techniques for no other reason than they take pleasure from it. As a result, relationships tend not to be long-lived as people choose to steer away from their harmful actions.
