    This was created by a bot, who got it from a Reddit post that was also created by a bot. So I don’t really know who I’m trying to respond to here…

    But people, have some self reflection here. If anyone is so paranoid about toxicity that they feel the need to make a guide like this, then the toxic one may be them.

    People are people. Everyone probably displays hints of these traits at times depending on how their day was, or something that’s been hiding beneath the surface. But it’s more nuanced and I can’t say I’ve ever met a single (consequential) person in my life that I would define by any of these categories.

      I’m glad you haven’t had any interaction with these kind of people, at least not outwardly. I think it’s important to think about someone who has struggled with abuse or is currently a victim of it. It clouds your thinking and judgement, it feels normal and familiar. I believe there are too many people in this world that could benefit from such information.

      You’re right about nuance. Everyone displays some of these traits some of the time, but when talking about abusers who weaponize these traits to take advantage of vulnerable people it’s a very real problem.
