  1. Nov 6, 2017 · Today, I describe the basic features of five types of high-conflict personalities, so that you can be aware of them, in order to avoid them or deal with them more effectively. They all have...

    • The ‘Dark Triad’ Personalities. The first group of unsafe people are those who fit what psychologists call the “dark triad” of personalties: psychopaths, Machiavellians, and narcissists.
    • Untreated BPD. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the less well-known personality disorders, but an extremely destructive one. People with BPD feel intensely lonely and insecure, and may even feel empty inside — leading to some extreme behaviors.
    • High Conflict People. Roughly one in ten people qualify as high conflict people — individuals who have a pattern of creating, escalating, and being unable to resolve conflict.
    • People Who Are Proudly Anti-Sensitive. You know this person. You have (at least) one in your life already, and quite possible a whole gaggle of them. It’s the person who sneers at the idea of being sensitive, the one who thinks you are “too” sensitive and finds ways to snipe at you, the one who goes out of their way to prove they are not sensitive themselves.
    • Toxic people are manipulative. Their modus operandi is to get people to do what they want them to do. It’s all about them. They use other people to accomplish whatever their goal happens to be.
    • They are judgmental. Keep your eyes and ears open for criticism—about you, what you've done, and what you didn’t do. It’s never about them, and they will lie if it serves them.
    • They take no responsibility for their own feelings. Rather, their feelings are projected onto you. If you try to point this out to them, they will likely vehemently defend their perspective, and take no responsibility for almost anything they do.
    • They don't apologize. They don’t see any reason to, because things are always someone else’s fault. In many instances, although they try to orchestrate relationships to serve their own ends, they try to gain sympathy and attention by claiming “victim” status.
    • They’ll manipulate. If you feel as though you’re the only one contributing to the relationship, you’re probably right. Toxic people have a way of sending out the vibe that you owe them something.
    • They won’t own their feelings. Rather than owning their own feelings, they’ll act as though the feelings are yours. It’s called projection, as in projecting their feelings and thoughts onto you.
    • They’ll make you prove yourself to them. They’ll regularly put you in a position where you have to choose between them and something else – and you’ll always feel obliged to choose them.
    • They never apologise. They’ll lie before they ever apologise, so there’s no point arguing. They’ll twist the story, change the way it happened and retell it so convincingly that they’ll believe their own nonsense.
