As I get older, I find that I’m especially attuned to people with personality disorders who are around me. They stand out as if they have a spotlight on them.
I believe I developed this awareness as a child growing up in a family with mental illness (personality disorders) on my mother's side, and as an adult by working with various customers around the world, which has sharpened that awareness.
It’s rather disheartening to see both young and old living in this static state of toxicity, and it seems at times like life will thrust people like this at you unexpectedly.
This perception bias, if you will, while helpful at times, can also be a curse because I see a lot of the bad in a lot of people. Maybe it’s best to be naive, and this is why they say ignorance is bliss.
