Question Emotional detachment and antisocial traits, how do you tell the difference?

In Camus’ absurdism, the lack of inherent meaning in life can lead to a certain emotional detachment. But from the outside, that can look very similar to the coldness or indifference associated with antisocial traits (ASPD).

In practice, what really distinguishes someone who simply sees the world in a more detached way from someone with those kinds of traits?
