He speaks only in very broad generalities (statements that give no details). “They say…,” “Everybody thinks…,” “Everyone knows…” and similar statements are in continual use, particularly when spreading rumors. For example, the Anti-Social Personality can spread a rumor, such as “Nobody likes to go to that restaurant; everybody hates it.” When asked “Who is everybody ?” he pretends that it is the opinion of the whole society. It normally turns out to be that only one person said it and that one person is the Anti-Social Personality himself.

Such a person deals mainly in bad news, critical or hostile remarks, invalidation (making someone seem wrong or less worthy) and general suppression (actions that keep others down, make them fail, etc.).

There is no good news or compliment passed along by such a person.

The Anti-Social Personality worsens the communication when he passes along a message or news. Good news is stopped and only bad news, often added to, is passed along.

Such a person also pretends to pass along “bad news,” which is actually invented by him.

The Anti-Social Personality continually selects the wrong target (cause of things) for his anger.

If his car’s tire is flat from driving over nails, he curses a person traveling with him—the wrong source of the trouble. If the radio next door is too loud, he kicks his cat.

If A is the obvious cause, the Anti-Social Personality blames B or C or D.

The Anti-Social Personality cannot finish a project or action.

He becomes surrounded with incomplete projects and things that were started and never finished.

The Anti-Social Personality supports only destructive groups and attacks any constructive group or group working to help people.

The Anti-Social Personality has a bad sense of who owns property and thinks the idea that anyone owns anything is a lie made up to fool people. To him, nothing is ever really owned.
