Just read the sections on Sociopaths and Psychopaths. They describe your average marketing department.
-
C suite also
-
There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that's including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.

How do I turn my disorder into cash money?
-
I think you have to go to the NSFW websites for that
-
Disability payments.

I wish there was a way to tell the companies that, because I've seen them cut into my brief moment of entertainment with their ad (usually awkwardly) that I've mentally blacklisted them and think LESS of their product not more.
Alas I am poor so no wallet voting applies.

Actually it does. The reason for you not buying it doesn't matter. They wasted their advertisement dollars on you, because you're not buying it anyway.

You're out of date,.the DSM 5 got a massive revision (TR), years ago.

Surely it won't be too much to upgrade to the latest patch, since I already bought the last full version?

Contact your vendor/provider's latest TOS for clarification.

It's the one right after the disorder that is allowing yourself to be advertised to. Chumpism I think it's called.
-
Mods please remove this advertisement for sound mental health it makes me look silly

I don't know.
But you know what I know? This post's sponsor, HorribleMentalHealthCare!

A disorder must either somehow negatively impact your activities of daily living like your job or staying out of prison, or causes significant distress. If you're explicitly making tons of legal money off your delusions, it's not a disorder.
-
So you're saying it's not a disorder until we make it one wiyh violence?
-
Primarily what I was saying is we should avoid thinking material conditions that create rational bad actors are pathologies or moral failings.

-
This definition denies the existence of the functional disabled.
-
If advertising to you didn't work then advertisers wouldn't be doing it.
-
Of course it works, it is hacking your brain into buying shit you don't need.
It works on everyone who is human.
Doesn't make it any more moral though.
-
Is that not what I said?
-
-
Advertising does not work equally well on everyone. It's literally a numbers game.
-
As a young adult man, seeing an ad for diapers designed for elderly women doesn’t entice me to buy them. I’m also not buying a new car after seeing every ad for a car. I know of Liberty Mutual by way of their advertisements but I’m not in the market for buying an emu so they won’t get my business.
-
Why did we suddenly change from "thinking that advertising is fine is absolutely a mental illness" to "advertisers can successfully cause tons of damage"?
I don't see a lot of reasons for such a shift away from the point.
-
Doesn't work on me.
According to the DSM-5, individuals with ASPD (edit: anti social personality disorder) exhibit a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years. This pattern is manifested by at least three of seven specific behaviors, including failure to conform to social norms, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggressiveness, reckless disregard for safety, consistent irresponsibility, and lack of remorse.
Added explanation, good point (should be there) and thanks 👍
ASPD, is that Advertising/Sales Personality Disorder?
Here's what my glaring personality disorder taught me about B2B sales.
Close the post, we got an answer.
For those that don't know, ASPD = Anti Social Personality Disorder. Symptoms of ASPD can surface before age 15.
Does everyone not have at least three of these behaviors? Or is that the joke? Or am I antisocial?
This is no joke that is the official dsm text. Of course an expert has to judge that, but of course you could be.
Normally a "and not explained by other conditions" is an important thing. Also the degree you have those attributes, and what 3 is important
The opening part is important. A pattern of disregard for the rights of others.
Most folks will exhibit some of these traits sometimes. We might get defensive and overstep. Feel remorse and make ammends.
If you look at your life and think everyone but you is the problem, rather than understanding that sometimes I am the problem and can work on things from my end, than yeah, that's ASPD.
But the fact that you're capable of reflecting and asking suggests that you don't have ASPD. Some traits, sometimes. Like most folks.
Bingo.
My pet theory after observing friends and acquaintances growing up into adults (and hearing them speak on the subject) is that such behaviour can coincide with seriously considering suicide, but not going through with it (or failing). This can give a huge rush and sense of renewal, a new life where you don't have to care about others anymore and are no longer bound by morals. Similar to how I've heard incel acquaintances describe being "black pilled".
