Nature, nurture, fate … some combination thereof … especially 0-3 attachment to primary caregivers (mother generally … hence everything is the mother’s fault) determines one’s personality “structure” which may or may not end up pathological. Generally speaking ppl fall into one primary category: schizoid, narcissistic, borderline, antisocial. A clinical psychologist talking about the overlaps &distinctions would be interesting. Especially how intelligence &self awareness can mitigate the negative side &enhance the strengths of one’s personality to be a better person. You need a talented psychologist or psychiatrist to answer your questions &curiosity about personality “traits” that can slide into pathological behaviors. Get Dan Siegel on!
