Which part bugs you - 'antisocial' or 'personality disorder'?


All of it haha, the idea that "failing to conform to social norms", "impulsivity", and "irresponsibility" constitute a "personality disorder" (which I think is a fallacy in itself, given the huge human range of 'personality'). If you're a sociopath, ok, but if you're gonna call sociopaths "antisocial" it gives the wrong impression, I think.

I'd support this just for the sweet parent rage trolling like this would cause. >_>
