Fairly sure I am highly psychopathic compared to other people. When tested I usually land just under, or on, the clinical threshold for diagnosis. I also score very highly across the dark triad personality traits. Most of the time I feel that this is to my advantage, as I appear to not be hindered by emotion in the same way normal people are and I have the ability to lock onto objectives and pursue them relentlessly. However, I have an uncontrollable urge to dominate which sometimes backfires on me, as normal people tend to have a limit to what they can take. This can result in significant setbacks in terms of what I am trying to achieve. In these moments I think about how the ability to form and maintain normal relationships would be very beneficial as they are more sustainable and productive over the long-term.
