He is the bad boy in high school — stealing stuff from other kids and lying about it, picking fights, getting poor grades. But he doesn’t seem to care. Grown up, he’s a con artist — can’t hold a decent job, thinks life isn’t fair, and he’s still stealing and getting away with it most of the time.
Someone with antisocial personality disorder has a reckless disregard for others and often for himself (most people with antisocial personality disorder are male). He doesn’t want to conform to social norms and willfully destroys property, steals or manipulates others for personal profit, or overindulges in pleasure-seeking behavior (for example, he speeds, drives while drunk, engages in risky sex or uses drugs).
Life may not seem fair to him because he impulsively bounces from job to job and isn’t successful in relationships. As a husband, he’s an irresponsible failure and a poor parent who neglects his children’s needs and feels no remorse — perhaps he even batters his wife. If he entered the military to “straighten out,” chances are he was dishonorably discharged.
He is arrogant, even cocky, yet charming while manipulating others for his own gain. He has little concern about his current problems and certainly not for the future. He defaults on debts and can end up homeless, if not imprisoned. Ultimately, he is more likely than other individuals to commit suicide or die by violent means, such as an accident.
