is developing your inner psychopath a good thing?

[Mezanti]

my friend is a functional psychopath, well he's not a serial killer lol, but he feels no empathy for other people in the same way some one "normal would".

his mother passed away 3 years ago from an accident and i remember him not feeling as much sadness as again "normal people would" he's scored well above average on the Psychopath test, he does not care a shit what people think of him. hes happy all the time, genuinely having fun.  He has nothing holding him back, hes focused, driven and positive.

i recently made a post about how i am struggling with caring what people think... and again hes the opposite, hes very polite though yet he cares 0 what people think.

i think it's beneficial to develop this level emotional stability.

being positive after experiencing a bad occurrence like death of loved ones is not wrong thing per se. it's because you see this in a psychopath person you label it as bad.

just like confidence! a maniac could be over-confident! but every mentally sound man can be too!

This work does not decrease empathy, but it actually increases it. Just because he has such a trait like not caring be wary to glorify sociopath/psychopath tendencies as something to obtain, there are many nuances here. 

The binary extremes of care and don't care are very dangerous. Caring too much causes suffering in yourself, not caring enough causes suffering in others.
