I am an 18 year old male and I have been a pretty emotionally dead person for...well since my early childhood. And when I say dead I don't mean depressed or really down or anything of that nature. It's nearly impossible for me to feel anything genuine and I can only put a mask of fakeness on so I don't seem so far out. When I was in a psychology class I read about something called anti-social personality disorder and it almost disturbed me how similar the symptoms were to my own character. I've done enough to put myself away for the better half of my life and I haven't felt a shred of remorse or conscience. Anyways, I'm wondering if my lack of emotion is a cause of concern. Nothing brings me joy, pain, or sorrow and I can't even feel love for my own family anymore. NOTHING will make me feel anything and it bothers me. All I feel like is a body and a brain without a soul. Something is wrong with me but I don't know what. I'm a very intelligent person and all it seems I can do is succeed with material things like work while my relationships are built on false pretenses and emotions I never even felt but acted like I did. My question is: If there is anybody somewhat educated about this...what could be wrong with me? Do I have anti-social personality disorder?...and am I stuck with this? (link)

i am one of the people who nick mentioned, someone who struggles to understand.
my friend, 16 year old female, broke up with her boyfriend at the beginning of this year. she had a secret that she would tell me.
Saturday night just gone, we were drunk, and we ended up having sex, and that was when she told me.
besides the obvious tension of having sex with one of your best friends(also with her not remembering it), im trying to understand her lack of feeling.
she has a partner. although its very on and off, but they cant live without each other, its incredibly strange.
does my friend show have anti-social personality disorder? are you born with it? or can it be triggered (her and her old boyfriend were incredibly close, until he cheated on her)
can losing someone that means so much to you, trigger the symptoms of anti-social personality disorder?
is there anything i can do to 'test' my friend for it. i want to help her, she means alot to me, as all my friends do.
email me, or add my msn on tommcconnell8 *at* *hot *mail *dot* *come
