Evaluation: Typically, a chronic history of repetitive behavioral problems beginning in your childhood or early adolescence is what helps diagnose this disorder.Thorough medical and psychological exams should be done to come to the final diagnosis of this disorder. I highly encourage you to seek out assistance from your primary care doctor who can do an intial exam and testing and steer you on the right path.

Antisocial: The hallmark of this disorder is the person seems to have no conscience, or sense of morality, or right or wrong. This person cannot empathize with others, is opportunistic, predatory, and often thrill seeking, as well as being at an extremely high risk for criminal behavior and trying to outsmart/pervert the system. An example of this would be Charles Manson.

Personality Problem: If you are concerned about your behavior then please get help. The fact that you are concerned might mean that your symptoms can be changed with professional help. It would be good to consult with a Clinical Psychologist. Medication might help in addition to Psychotherapy.

Great that u r aware: It sounds as if you are not only aware of such a tendency but that you would like to learn more about it and possibly make some changes. IF this is the case you would be an ideal person to have psychotherapy. good luck to you.
