Disturbed characters tend to set virtually unattainable standards for everyone else, while feeling no concomitant sense of obligation to meet the expectations most of us would like them to accept.

Disturbed characters think there’s nothing worse than admitting a mistake, backing down, or giving-in because it makes them look inadequate or “weak.”

Disordered characters are prone to seeing things as they want to see them, not as they are.

From the first minute they think someone is asking something from them, they start planning how to resist.

Disordered characters hear what they want to hear, remember what they want to remember, and learn what they want to learn.
