A 29-year-old woman helps women be more detached in the case of dating after sharing with the world she has anti-social personality disorder.
Kanika Batra was diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder (ASPD). It’s colloquially generally known as being a sociopath. The Brisbane woman was told she had the condition at 21.
Common traits include a disregard for others, manipulation and never feeling guilt.
“I used to be getting plenty of migraines and I attempted to finish my life because not one of the doctors were taking me seriously after I told them how bad the pain was,” Ms Bathra told news.com.au.
“I ended up in hospital. I used to be asleep for 15 hours. After I woke up they gave me the selection of going to the psych ward or seeing a psychiatrist as an outpatient.”
She selected the second option. The previous Miss Universe Australia contestant saw the psychiatrist for 18 months.
He concluded she had ASPD and a significant depressive disorder. She’d had conduct disorder as a toddler. Behaviour she engaged in, comparable to criminal and discarding people, also ticked the boxes. She said she fit an excessive amount of of the factors.
She described it as an “experience”. She said he helped with a few of her risk taking behaviour. This included going bankrupt after occurring a visit she couldn’t afford. One other example was flying overseas to see someone she’d never met before.
The model said after reading about it more it’s hard to see how the forensic psychiatrist would come to some other conclusion.
She decided to leap online and share her experience.
“Not only is the disorder itself rare. It’s even rarer when it’s a girl,” she said.
“If a girl displays any characteristics they’re routinely assumed to have borderline personality disorder.”
She doesn’t have mood swings and said that her emotions are over quickly, often inside the hour. She feels joy and excitement, but emotions comparable to anger are stronger though. Ms Batra said there “isn’t much under the surface” however it allows her to be a chameleon and fit into different settings.
There are downsides. She said she’s often not believed due to her diagnosis. Often psychiatrists refuse to treat individuals with ASPD resulting from lying tendencies. She’s had people not consider her when horrible things have been done to her. She’s been accused of lying to get sympathy resulting from her diagnosis.
That’s why she’s been so vocal about what she’s been through. She gets asked countless questions on whether she experiences emotion and if she feels love. People often ask her for dating advice. So, she’s now writing a book to have all of it down in a single place.
“I got so many emails and messages asking me what a sociopath would do in these scenarios,” she said.
“Methods to not get attached so quickly, easy methods to not get their empathy exploited and easy methods to avoid abuse tactics like gaslighting and negging, which has been happening in the fashionable dating world.”
She says women often get attached to men quickly. She said this isn’t mandatory so early on. It often results in them getting hurt in the method. Ms Batra said she is teaching women to “date like a sociopath”. She said she doesn’t want women to form emotional bonds until men have shown they respect their time and commitment.
“Fellow sociopaths — males — are likely to go for particular women who’re vulnerable and display certain traumas which can be linked to things they will exploit,” she said.
“So I also share the negatives of how sociopaths date and the way it’s completely transactional.”
Ms Batra describes her own dating life as “serial monogamy”.
“But, after I am dating, I often date three to 4 people at the identical time,” she said.
Nevertheless she won’t sleep with them. Ms Batra, who’s bisexual, said there are plenty of risks involved in sex comparable to emotional bonding, pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
“I personally don’t engage with that until I’m in a committed relationship and I feel comfortable enough to be in that position.”
