Antisocial Is A Behavior Pattern

  • Antisocial doesn't mean shy or introverted; it's a pattern of harming or exploiting others.
  • Focus on patterns of behavior rather than labeling someone from a single trait.
ADVICE

Spot Repeated Antisocial Patterns

  • Watch for repeated lying, blaming, aggression and rule-breaking as pattern indicators.
  • Use pattern awareness to decide how to protect yourself, not to diagnose formally.
ADVICE

Treat Intense Sympathy As A Red Flag

  • Be skeptical when you feel extreme empathy for someone who narrates a long victim story.
