Gaslighting and other bad persons and personalities – forwarding from The Atlantic – bad people and personalities are more common

The following is a link from Yahoo to a discussion from an author in The Atlantic about gaslighting and other personalities, and defenses. https://www.yahoo.com/news/spot-stop-sociopath-160000775.html?guccounter=1

I believe that these bad people and personalities are more common in people than reported or thought. Note: I do not know the author of the article or his expertise – I am posting the link for discussion purposes only. Particularly since 2019 (i.e., even prior to COVID) the numbers of situations and people and cases that I have directly or indirectly been involved in that have involved varying levels or degrees of opposing bad people with dysfunctional personalities have increased to a shocking level (including cases and situations involving fraud, deceit, concealment, control, possession, false narrative, lying, undue influence and excessive persuasion, and use of the law and the court’s for wrongful purposes and wrongful intentions to see what they can get away with (e.g., lawfare, litigationfare, courtfare)) . This is unfortunate of course, and also because there truly are good, sharing, helpful, honest and truthful people. But everyone needs to protect themselves. As the author discusses, there are many different “bad” persons and personality types.

Remember, every case and situation is different. It is important to obtain and evaluate all of the evidence that is available, and to apply that evidence to the applicable standards and laws. You do need to consult with an attorney and other professionals about your particular situation. This post is not a solicitation for legal or other services inside of or outside of California, and, of course, this post only is a summary of information that changes from time to time, and does not apply to any particular situation or to your specific situation. So . . . you cannot rely on this post for your situation or as legal or other professional advice or representation, or as or for my opinions and views on the subject matter.

Also note – sometimes I include links to or comments about materials from other organizations or people – if I do so, it is because I believe that the materials are worthwhile reading or viewing; however, that does not mean that I do not or that I might not have a different view about some or even all of the subject matter or materials, or that I necessarily agree with, or agree with everything about or relating to, that organization or person, or those materials or the subject matter.
