The answer is antisocial personality disorder.

Explanation:

This disorder is characterised by hostile, disruptive and even criminal behaviours. Antisocial people tend to lack empathy, and usually manipulate others to get what they want.

Signs of this disorder commonly appear during childhood or adolescence. A person suffering from this condition will likely have a history of deliquency or failed relationships.
