Psychopaths don't "struggle" with psychopathy -- they either a) lack the introspection to realize that they're psychopaths, or b) just don't care. That's part and parcel of being a psychopath.
I'll grant the OP "pyschopathic traits", but the rest of his/her post seems to try to support full-blown "psychopathy" rather than just "psychopathic traits". The post might be suggestive of extreme narcissim and/or attention-seeking behavior, but a real diagnosis of psychopathy would require a lot of other traits as well -- and would require an extensive (verifiable) history. See Hare's checklist.
- chmike 12y agoI must disagree. First there are different level of psychopathy making it a fuzzy set. Second I have heard of people diagnosed as psychopaths and indeed struggling to remain socially adequate in order to avoid to be caged in psychiatric hospitals. In this way cold logic is used as leverage to induce socially compatible behaviour.
