Understanding the Hidden Side of Extroversion
Parents may struggle to understand how extroversion applies to their child with antisocial personality traits. The outwardly charming or outgoing behaviors may seem contradictory to the other negative traits they exhibit, leading to confusion about the child’s motivations and intentions.
Dealing with the Need for Control and Exploitation
It can be incredibly difficult for parents to witness their child’s tendency to exploit others or view people as tools to meet their own needs. This behavior can create a sense of alienation and frustration, as the child may not seem to care about the emotional or physical well-being of others, including their own family members.
Breaking Through Inflexibility and Denial
Parents often feel helpless when trying to break through their child’s inflexibility and deep-seated belief that things can’t change. The child’s refusal to acknowledge vulnerability or dependency, combined with their view that people are inherently bad, can create a highly rigid and defensive attitude that resists any efforts at emotional connection.
