What Is Antisocial Personality Disorder?

Arrogant And Impulsive

This demanding, disrespectful, me-first attitude shows itself in arrogant and impulsive actions. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder tend not to do much long-term planning; they act on impulse, and this failure to plan means they often end up tangled with the law. Again, the difficulty with cause and effect in relation to acting on impulses often makes it hard for them not to act on those feelings most people ignore because it's wrong. Get mad at your boss? Instead of taking a breath and walking away, they're likely to yell, or even deck him. Want the car you just walked past? A person with APD is much more likely to just take it. They won't reason about what the long-term effects will be, or what effect it will have on others, just act on feelings and impulses.
