Dark triad comes naturally ?

Yes, you cannot become and you shouldn't. It's bad but you get women. I have NPD. My whole life revolves around validation and making others validation sources. I have an easy way attracting A LOT of women and A LOT of people in social contexts. But when you have no sources to validate you, you get depressed.The empathy part is a lie, personally I can switch it on and off if I want to. Deep down I'm very insecure but I portray an overconfident persona very easily.

Also people like to put things in boxes to make rationalizations easier. It's not that easy. Those disorders don't fall in one end all be all category. For example, Cluster B people have a little of everything. If you have NPD for example you also have traits from ASPD , HPD and BPD. And vice versa.

Bottom line: You can emulate some parts, you can never be it. It requires childhood trauma. It gets you a lot of women, but there are bad side effects. You will have trouble with most of your relationships.

i think they either come from childhood trauma or you are just born with it. sure you can “dial down” your “nice guy traits” but i don’t think you can go from “nice guy” to “dark triad pyschopath”.

I think narcissism naturally develops if you put yourself, your goals, and your opinions above others consistently over time. Years.

Machivellianism comes down to cleverness, selfishness, and practice. Manipulation as second nature. A simpleton couldn't be Machevellian because they lack the forethought. They would probably come across as a pathological liar or just weird and untrustworthy. Nobody would know of they're talking to a genuine Machevellian.

I don't think developing psychopathic character traits is great idea and I haven't considered how to.

Basically asking if you were not born a with a lot of dark triad treats, more a nice guy by natural, how did you improve and practice the dark triad view

Self-awareness. Understanding my own past mistakes and the motives of others. Have taken in a lot of psychology/economics, so it's pretty easy for me to read people in any given situation.

and if you find yourself faking it some times.

It's hard since people know me so well.

I would relate to that by saying the following:

Have a mission

By having a clear goal, which you place as your priority you begin understanding the following:

You are alone in your quest (psychopathie)

Manipulation or collaboration, are mutual or exclusif but both are essential (machiavélisme)

Only know your quest and how to achieve that ( narcissisme )
