It's kinda hard to know whether or not you're a psychopath/sociopath or just ASPD - as there is a distinction between all these terms.

Psychopathy (primary psychopath) is said to be genetics-driven, then a psychopath is born a psychopath. This makes them (almost) impossible to feel what others may feel, since they never experienced emotions such as romantic love or sadness (for anyone else). Sociopaths (secondary psychopaths) are, usually, made by the environment: a childhood trauma, abuse, neglect and such. Since the sociopath has been able to feel emotions, even if while being too young, he's able to feel some emotions a psychopath, normally, can't. But these emotions are short and empty. Antisocial people suffer from ASPD, which can be either genetic or made by the environment (and some theories say sociopathy and ASPD are caused by both genetics and environment). Antisocials tend to engage in criminal behaviour, lack a concern for others and remorse and guilt.

Psychopaths, sociopaths and antisocials are all really prone to boredom - which is one of the main reasons why they engage in criminal behaviour and take many useless (and not only useless) risks. Most sociopaths suffer from ASPD, while psychopaths don't tend to suffer from ASPD (they can still be considered "antisocial"). By what you said, Socio/psychopaths and antisocials tend to tell lies and engage in criminal behaviour, but that doesn't mean everyone who tell lies frequently and engage in criminal behaviour are all psychopaths. Maybe you should check some information about them and take some online tests, mainly for orientation.
