Interesting. How many ASPDs do you think would want to lie and claim a specific sexual orientation, or do you think they wouldn't care enough to lie, in general? I am trying to figure out if I am dating a person who has much more of this trait than the common person. He definitely lacks empathy, and emotion and is hugely utilitarian. Most of his decisions are made based on rules he has learned. He thinks a lot more highly of himself than others and would love to rule the world. He just doesn't get certain things, and he specifically asks me how he is supposed to act or behave in the relationship ie how often he should contact me etc. There is a lot more, but I just find it all bizzarre. I act a certain way because I am compelled to act a certain way, not because I read a rule book or took classes that groomed me to be a certain way. He also wants to kill people or gets disproportionately angry at people for things that really don't matter. He looks down on most people. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to get revenge on one person, but getting that revenge would cause a bus load of kids to die in the process, that that would deter him from getting revenge. If he displays more of these traits and has an inability to connect on a more than superficial level, I haven't figured out yet what my purpose is to him. He comments about how blown away he is that he feels comfortable with me and he has never felt that before. That he always needs to be in control, but he can give up some of that around me. He definitely can't be pursuded to have his mind changed, even if his idea is completely shit. Cause he doesn't care if he is right or wrong it is his opinion. He also hates to a point he almost can't tolerate it when I prove him wrong when we are discussing something. We are both intelligent, and sometimes I am able to point out some inconsistencies or fallacies in his thinking. It can be stupid like the can has a blue label and he claims it is red. He needs to fight it and fight it basicially arguing every angle until I point blank produce the proof I am right. Then he will make a big deal over our argument and attack me for proving him wrong the wrong way. He definitely lacks normal emotional availability and some basic social cues, but how dare someone use the wrong fork when eating a salad, but he can use his finger to eat crumbs off his plate. He claims he is straight, but I was a little suspicious, not that he is gay, but that I don't know that he would be entirely opposed to men.
