does he have personality disorder or something else?

Question

I caught my roomate snooping through my room and stealing from me on hidden camera. When I confronted him the following day I showed him the video. He laughed at the video and asked "Well what did I take?" I replied, "You took it, you tell me" to which he replied "I don't know what that was, how do you know that wasn't something that belonged to me?" I ask, "was it?" he answers, "I don't know" The whole time he shows NO remorse, doesn't seem to care in the LEAST that I am angry and that he is losing his oldest friend. Other than that night, I have also heard him call himself a Genius on MANY occasions, refuses to admit when he is wrong, is a pyromaniac, has a VERY low pain threshold, can't hold down a job for longer than a couple months, and, since I have moved out I have tried to make peace, but he acts pissed off at me as if I am the one who did something wrong. He will not, EVER apologize for his actions as he never admits to messin up. Can anyone tell me what disorder he may have

Thanks for all the responses... For the record, I no longer live with the guy. Moved out days after the theft. I worry because, well, I've known this guy since we were in diapers. I simply couldn't figure out how he could be WATCHING a video of himself in my bedroom stealing and go so far as to say, "I wasn't in your room" He's my oldest friend and if he has a mental problem that caused all this I wanna help him. OH, and the cam was set up because I kept noticing things going missing. Thought it was the maintenance guys and wanted to catch them in the act... ended up being my roomate.

Answer 1

It could be a mix of anything. Personality disorder, maybe just a jerk, he could have been treated this way while growing up and is used to it. I would say find a new roommate.

Answer 2

Though my psych nursing experience is limited and there is no way to tell from a blurb on a web site, it does sound like he exhibits some antisocial personality disorder behaviors.

Read for yourself and see what you think.

I highly recommend you find a new roommate!!

Best of luck.

Answer 3

he's a thief, i guess?

otherwise, i dont know.

why are you torturing yourself worrying about him? take care of YOU.... and avoid him.

is he really worth the effort?

apparently he needs help, and won't get it until he decides he wants to. not much you can do.

find another friend.

Answer 4

sounds like the disorder is simply being a jerk.

Answer 6
