Question

Help answer this question below.

I think I have an anti-social disorder(not avoidance disorder), but my sister says I am not. I regularly do things that risk my health & put me in legal risk. I feel no guilt if I do wrong to someone, I feel regular urges to hurt people. Am I anti-social?

    I wouldn't say it is anti-social disorder, but I am not a doctor. It is something more serious. When you say urges to hurt people, would that be emotional or physical. If you are serious about this I would definitely check yourself into a hospital. You have to be very careful when you say things like that because someone can call the police and they will take you by force on a 5150. If you are serious, I certainly hope you take care of that right away. Let's put it this way, what if someone like yourself killed or hurt your sister because they did nothing about their illness. Would you want someone out there to hurt your family members? Take care of yourself please.

    ok bit off the cuff and repeated lines etc, lol but you get the point. trust people who know what you are going through, because ultimately they do. i never thought I would hear of someone who is going through the same mental processes i did, but you have so chin up, get better xx

    I think you should get therapy from a psychiatrist who can, if warranted, prescribe meds for you. It is fortunate that you bring this up before you do something bad.

    I just don't think you feel part of something right now, you feel confused, so the only way you know how to get a reaction is to be horrible to someone. i have been in these scenarios before, ,do you feel like you are trying to test your mental strength?

    If you aren't Christian then don't take the first answer's advice, unless this is your actual religion, also prescriptions don't solve the problem they just numb you , or over produce hormones that will make you happy. This is good if you are feeling down.

    I think a psychiatrist can help you talk through some of the reasons why you do these things also go and see a spiritual guidance counsellor as you may be falling victim to something out of your control. (this may not be right for you either) but you do need to take control of the situation, it's good you are talking about it, a definite start, and it shows strength, power does not come from hatred, and anger though my dear...it only creates fantasists. Be careful who you involve yourself with, if you're heart tells you not to do something, then that something is bad then don't do it. You know this behaviour is wrong , and you obviously have guardian angels ans you are coming to terms with this problem and admitting there is a problem. Guardian comes in all shapes and forms and are not what people think they are, they may be kindred spirits. If you need to talk there are many people on here who can help you, but ultimately you have control of your life, we are only but a guide, find someone trustworthy in this time .

    Best of luck

    Risky behavior is something I can relate to and a lot of folks who would not be labeled anti-social engage in it.
    The urge to hurt people and feeling no guilt when you do is the dictionary definition of anti-social disorder.
    When you think about it the only thing that would prevent you from acting on your urges to hurt people is the criminal justice system which either incarcerates or institutionalizes people who act out anti-social behavior. So hopefully your desire for personal liberty is stronger than your urge to hurt people.
    It's called a disorder because it's not the way the majority of people are wired. Human beings are social creatures right down to our DNA so having anti-social tendencies has very little benefit to an individual. Most people have a strong sense of empathy that normally prevents them from hurting people without provocation. If you have any empathy at all, hold on to it with everything you've got and see a shrink to see if it's not just a chemical imbalance that can be treated effectively with drugs.

    Does this mean you drive under the influence of drugs of ANY kind? If that is what this is all about, then such is 'normal' among a lot of folks. Just remember it is not clear thinking.

    Do you either pray to your god for forgiveness and/or go to church inmediately (and by inmediately I mean sometime) after experiencing one of these episodes? If the answer is, yes, then there's nothing wrong with you. You're a perfectly normal Christian
