I’ve noticed her tendencies to make up stories and see that she has some purely transactional friendships. I asked abt it and she told me she’s a psychopath with narcissistic tendencies. She didn’t want to tell me because she said people treated her as crazy before after she told them and she didn’t want that happening again. she’s an amazing gf and we have been together for 6 months already, but I feel like her being not empathetic and a bit self centered might cause issues in the future. She always thinks logically and isn’t very emotional which has perks but also major downsides. I am constantly overthinking this now and don’t know what to do about it. I want to deal with this before it becomes a bigger issue and it’s even harder to deal with.

Communication is key. Don't keep her in the dark, because that isn't fair to her even if she's a narcissist. If you love her and value her, allow yourself to do so. If there were issues in the past, maybe consider talking to her about it. Just don't make any impulse decisions because you'll regret it later.

As someone with ASPD, do not doubt the way she cares about you will create issues in the future. We might not feel emotional empathy but we have cognitive empathy, we aren't all callous and about the part about being self centered, well it's part of our personality so that's kinda it. If you're her bf, then you're most likely her exception so do not fuck that up, there's no worse feeling than being hurt by your own exception.

The best advice I can give you is to not treat her any different than you used before. Appreciate that she told you this and be there for her. There's no need to overcomplicate things by doubting her intention in the future. Just don't expect her to have normal reactions attributed to pain, grief or other similar situations.

This is a tough spot and its great your reaching out about it man. It's great that you're willing to talk about these concerns rather than bottling them up keep that habit up. Relationships are usually hard, and it's totally normal to have questions and worries about the future.

It's healthy that your girlfriend opened up to you about her experiences, even if they're hard to hear. It shows a level of trust that's essential in any relationship. However, it's understandable that you're contemplating how her tendencies might impact your relationship moving forward.

Communication is key here. Having an honest and open conversation with your girlfriend about your feelings and concerns could help relieve some of the uncertainty you're feeling. Expressing your thoughts in a calm and understanding manner might lead to a deeper understanding between you two and possibly even strengthen your relationship.

Remember, it's okay to have reservations and uncertainties in a relationship. What matters most is how you both navigate them together as a couple. Take it one step at a time, and don't hesitate to seek support or guidance from friends or family members if needed. You're not alone in this, and you've got the strength to work through it. Proud of you, much love
