The psychopath test classifies a wide spectrum of persons as psychopaths. Paul embodies the stereotypical psychopath: a natural-born crook who seems to revel in spreading havoc everywhere he goes. However, not all psychopaths fit Paul's description. For every psychopath like Paul, there is another whose antisocial conduct is the product of bad luck rather than premeditated malice. Danny was in this situation.

In a society that is becoming more and more demanding, we are pulled in all directions. We are expected to satisfy a demanding boss, make a no fault party for friends, meet the expectations of our clients, and much more. It is becoming increasingly difficult to live a life free from the fear of not being good enough, the fear of an imminent exam, the fear of a department head’s evaluation, and, above all, the fear of taking on increasingly tough challenges. Of course, exercise strengthens our muscles, in the same manner, taking on more responsibility increases our ability to face them. But what about those who, at the eve of a dangerous deadline, panic and give up instead of taking responsibility? I know what that can be like because I’ve been there. Here, a technique called Pre-mortem can help! It is a concept developed by the psychologist Gary Klein. It involves projecting ourselves into the future, assuming that an event has already failed. We foresee the bad end, choosing the worst possible scenario. In that way, we play the game of a pessimist, so to say… but not for long! We then ask ourselves what caused the failure. This approach allows us to anticipate potential negative factors in order to avoid them.

So of course when people find out I have anxiety, they like to give me their opinion of how they think I should cope with it. Though some are from people also suffering who like to share their techniques, most are from people who really have no concept of what having a mental health disorder is like, or they understand it psychologically, but have never actually dealt with it themselves.
