antisocial personality

Lacks empathy, conscience

Antisocial personality is a psychiatric term for a pattern of behavior marked by disregard for others' rights, lack of remorse, deceitfulness, and impulsivity.

Someone with antisocial personality disorder may lie, manipulate, or break laws without guilt: The diagnosis of antisocial personality requires evidence of conduct disorder before age fifteen.

In casual use, antisocial personality often just means someone who avoids social interaction, though clinically this describes a more serious condition.
