Aspd
So I have aspd (newly diagnosed) and I have a question, why do my symptoms get worse when im in a relationship? I'm finding it so hard been in a relationship right now my impulses are worse, trying to mask my lack of empathy is tiring, trying to fight impulses is tiring, trying my best not to hurt him is tiring maybe I should never do this again 😢🤣

Might be because relationships come with expectations, like emotional closeness, compromise, and consistency. That can clash with ASPD traits like needing control, avoiding vulnerability, or getting bored easily.
So the stress isn't necessarily from the partner, but from the way relationships push up against those patterns, leading to worsening symptoms.

@antisocialsammy With any new diagnosis, comes navigation. It will take time to learn, to process and to know what you want and need for yourself and then be able to communicate this with a partner, for an effective relationship. It just takes work, communication and time. Wishing you the best with everything 🥰💜
