does getting called a psychi/sociopath as someone with aspd ever feel like stereotyping to you ?

I don't feel anything when people call me either of those things. But I do think people who don't work on forensics or criminology should not refer to anyone as psychopaths/"sociopaths."

Besides it being childish to just call someone a psychopath simply because they treated you badly or because you don't think they act right morally, it does affect negatively on people who do have ASPD. There's people out there who are trying to be "good". Always painting them like they're Irredeemable might deter someone from getting therapy. If people will still treat you like a monster over your disorder no matter what then what's the point of getting better? "I will be treated badly, so why would I try to treat people with kindness? Why control my destructive symptoms?"
