Hello, this is a throwaway for my main account. Since we are being doxxed, I don't really want to call attention. If the Mods ask I'll tell them who I am so to prove I am not a troll.

My question is, what are some ways I can help engage and bring out (invoke and evoke) the Dark triad within me?

Narcissism: I have very little problem engaging this. i have some rather grand plans (that they never seem to workout is immaterial - that's will, not Narccissim). I have all the earmarks of this. I am working on bringing it out. Helps that I think I look dead sexy when I have lost weight (and I do, hell I'd fuck me!)

Machiavellian Personality: This I struggle with. As much as I have some game and love learning about social theory, I am terrible at manipulating people. I have never been able to "sell" even though I have sold when I really liked something. I also know that manipulation is personality/image based - a coach manipulates differently than a shrink, and I struggle with finding my "style" as it were.

The psychopathic traits: I have some. I am somewhat callous, I don't know if I am remorseless - though I am getting better at it. I don't thrill-seek. I go to the gym and I work and then go home.

I want to cultivate these behaviors because they seem to be the best way to exercise will and take ownership of your life. Any ideas of what I can try to engage the neurons and habits that govern these traits?

I have read a lot about them, but I feel all my knowledge about them is purely academic. Looking for practical actions.
