undoreverse replied to your post: i hate white collar fandom’s idealizat...

whispers i don’t like her either

lol well obviously i'm not a mental health expert but from the semester of psych that i took and the little bit of googling i did, he seems to fit most of the criteria for the disorder.

some of the symptoms are:

persistent lying

using charm to to manipulate others for personal gain

egocentrism

recurring difficulties with the law

child abuse or neglect

at least 18 years old

evidence of violating social norms before the age of 15 (neal forged his own bus passes and manipulated the school clocks so he could get to school on time)

lack of remorse for illegal actions

acting impulsively with disregard to consequences

inability to learn from past mistakes

reckless behavior at the expense of one's safety (ie: jumping off buildings all the damn time)

the only symptoms he doesn't fit are hostility, actively making people miserable, and irritability. although he does seem to be irritable when mozzie is around, but... i think mozzie just brings that out in most people lol. 

and in 5.04, the therapist mentioned that his behavior is sociopathic--which is considered to be synonymous with antisocial personality disorder. the symptoms for sociopathy are listed here, and he seems to fit most of those as well, give or take a few.
