HE; HIS "I", is the ONLY thing that matters to HIM and his heart is a stone (can/will never change ( but he does feel JOY towards himself and his accomplishments, so I suppose, (for him) his lack of empathy is ok.
And although this may have nothing to do with how you are,
my concern was that your focus on "I" does not seem to bring you happiness or joy, but rather self- loathing.

Except you are speaking of psychopathy, Darkness is not. Darkness lacks empathy only for a certain "set" of people, not all people. That is separate from what psychopathy is. There are more PD than just ASPD or even NPD. BPD for instance, still allows for empathy even though if is a PD.
I am not certain of what INTJ precisely is, but from my talks with Darkness in past, I can assure you, he is not trying to manipulate us - even though I am sure he is intelligent enough if he so desired. So no, psychopathy doesn't fit him.
