Whatever degree of psychopathy may or may not apply to you (it sounds more like you're describing 'sociopathy', which as it turns out is more innately empathetic than previously thought) you might be curious to know that like NPD, our understanding of psychopathy is changing too.
I just have some of the traits. Calling them psychopathic or sociopathic doesn't matter that much. I may simply call them Antisocial traits in the future since that is the personality disorder in the DSM.

I am incapable of empathy. That is just a fact, and I've known that about myself since I was a child. I noticed that I didn't "feel" connections to other people's emotions/suffering/and so on.
