    You need to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. Anti social personality disorder is an umbrella term, meaning no one has it but they do have one of the disorders under this category such as psychopathy. The typical treatment protocol depends on which disorder the person has. You often will need exercises to help teach empathy and vital social skills you may not possess on your own. The best way is by simply talking about why you may feel this way or what occurred in your life. Psychopaths are born this way so they can't help it but they do often come from broken homes. Sociopaths often have a traumatic life event that causes them to become this way. It's just basically teaching and becoming close with other people. Certain disorders may need medication as well.
