Question

do they exist or are they common?I'm talking about someone who is borderline psycho but still a naturally gifted high-achiever.

Answer 1

Just take a leisurely look through the answers you've been given to the same question under this and all the other names you go by. If you've asked it so many times that you can't remember where you've posted them, such have a look in the "Search for Questions" box.

Answer 2

I've run into a few--but they don't stick to anything very long! They can't conform to rules of any office/business/boss and they resign or, a lot are fired. They are usually very angry and distainful of most people. I think that being border-line, they still crave attactment--or love as other people understand it. BUT, they can rarely maintain a relationship--UNLESS, they attach to a very Adult-Oriented Mother-Figure who will work steadily thoughtout her life and support this borderline to get fired repeatedly; not be able to bring regular income in, etc., etc. As a therapist of very troubled adolescents--I never ran into a borderline capable of any kind of sustained effort in order to achieve any success! Maybe if somebody would support for life a talented borderline, they could sporatically achieve independent products of success.

Answer 3

The only ones you will hear about are the ones that loose their composure and then usually with fatal consequences to another living being.
Having spent too much time than i cared for with the rejects of society i would say there is more psychopaths through conditioning than there is through birth.

Answer 4

Having read the definitions, frankly I am appalled. There do exist people whose actions are dictated entirely by pragmatism. Emotions are often the enemy of action. The true macheide neither triumphs in glory or regrets defeat.
Serial killers demonstrate their impotence and frustrated rage rather than their omnipotence or equanimity.
Ordinary people usually conceal themselves or deceive with their emotions, whereas the pragmatist is in control of theirs and sees what a bent and broken reed living emotionally really is.

Answer 5

A lot of psychopaths are Very intelligent BUT often are not "high-achievers" as you put it. A lot of serial killers (in USA) seem to have a very high I.Q But often have a low employment status.

Answer 6

Are we talking 'self praise' here again Jack? You're still seeking it as a way of justifying your behaviour! Some smidgen of saving grace perhaps.

Is this extreme talent of the psychopathic behaviour intended to excuse, justify or balance things out...?
