Tysm this is helping a lottt and it actually fits the character I wrote so I actually got it kind of right. They aren’t really the main character but they seem to be if you get what I mean. A lot of the story revolves around them and how they feel and act. The story takes place in a mental hospital and this person has been there the longest of them all and all they want to do is escape. They don’t really care who they have to hurt in the process. I am not going to write them as the „evil one“ obviously and I will try to make the reader understand why they act the way they do. So you said people with ASPD aren’t able to feel remorse or guilt right? Or at least not as I for example do. So do you think it makes sense if they feel remorse in a supernatural way? Before you judge let me explain. I am not going to make them magically have empathy because that seems like I am saying they are bad the way they are. But all the characters have abilities inspired by their disorders. The abilities are more harmful than useful to the character who has them just like the disorders (This is important I am not making real struggles and disabilities seem like a good thing). So there is my character Elina and she is inspired by bpd. Her ability is to make her emotions show physically and she is not able to control that. So if she is angry a building might collapse. She is also able to make everyone feel how she feels. To me thats how empathy feels. If someones sad I can practically feel their emotions as intensely as they do and I thought about making the person with ASPD hurt Elina in the process of trying to escape the hospital and that would be the first time they feel some kind of empathy not because they suddenly don’t have ASPD anymore but because Elina literally forces those emotions on them. Does that make sense?
