‘too nice’ I was told once. My response (which I kept to myself) was wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone was a little bit nicer?
I’ve worked with 3 people at different times of my life who had very strong psychopathic traits – highly narcissistic, could tell a bare-faced lie with no hint of it being a problem for them, highly manipulative. two of them had had repeated complaints against them from co-workers for their lies and manipulation. One even confessed to me he liked the idea of destroying someone… funny thing was, none of them seemed to think there was anything wrong with their behaviour, they just thought everyone else was naive for being honest – I doubt a real psychopath would come out as such on that test as they’d just be scoring themselves as nice…
