10 Signs That You Are Antisocial

An antisocial disorder is more serious than it may sound. This condition goes beyond a person simply not wanting to be around others; it is in fact a brain disorder that has a variety of outward signs. It can be difficult to self-diagnose, although many people tend to do that these days. The hallmarks of an antisocial personality could be on display right in front of us, although many of us might fail to take notice of them, which could lead to being harmed by a person who displays these traits. Maybe you are antisocial yourself and are unaware that your behavior could be harmful to those around you. If you read through these signs, some of them may ring true with you. Here are 10 signs that you may be antisocial:

1. An antisocial person has trouble conforming to social norms, and an individual with this disorder will typically be more likely to engage in illegal acts that may cause them to be arrested. They have less regard for laws or observing the rules of society than most other people. Many antisocial people will even end up in jail for significant periods of their lives. Have you repeatedly been in trouble with the law throughout your life? This behavior generally starts in childhood and is often exhibited in school, where you may have been suspended or even kicked out of school for bad behavior.

2. The antisocial personality often displays a reckless disregard for their own safety or the safety of others. Do you take a lot of risks in your everyday life? It could be something as simple as speeding and driving recklessly, without having concern for other drivers on the road and how they might be harmed by your driving habits. Any situation that you find yourself in where you simply do not care about what happens to others around you can be a sign that you are antisocial.

3. If you often show a lack of remorse when you have hurt or mistreated a person, or have stolen from others, you may be antisocial. You may just have an inability to feel sympathy or empathy for others and have no feelings of guilt when you have hurt someone. You may not even notice that a person’s feelings have been hurt, and you generally do not care about this situation.
