I hear you, I have this disorder myself. I was surprised as well when I was diagnosed. Soon enough you'll start seeing it in your behaviour and don't worry. Your not "cooked". Those with ASPD can live normal lives you just need insight and help. You may not feel empathy or shame, you may not be able to relate to others and you not be able to tell the difference between wrong and right but none of those things will hold you down. You just feel emotion and perceived things in a different way. That's all.

As for the "alcoholic" thing. It's common for those of us with this disorder to become dependent on drugs and booze. It's a way to satisfy your need for stimulants and to combat chronic boredom. I take both myself but I'm not addicted.

If you know you have these traits, you can consciously decide not to act on them- it will help you stay the nice person you are.

I'd be curious if there's a potential alternate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Both ASD and ASPD have similar features. Might be worth checking into because they aren't handled the same way.

Perhaps you may try a different therapist who is kinder to you? It is true one can get slapped with labels that are scary; but it seems you lost something in this encounter and that is not how therapy can help

You are not defined by your diagnosis, you can be any kind of person you want to be. If you want to be a kind and considerate person, then be that person!

Look on the bright side. If some creep is trying to hit on you, just say you’re a diagnosed psychopath. If that doesn’t do the trick, you know you need to reach out for your pepper spray. That short line should speed up the process significantly.
