Dangerous Personalities An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People

This book really had me not sleeping so easily.

It's not the kind of danger where you're like, oh yeah, this person, you know, he's walking down the street and he's going to take my wallet. It's more dangerous and scarier because you start thinking about all these people in your life that you know that have these qualities and you go, oh my gosh, is this person just hiding their crazy, really, really well and I don't know about it?

And I think that that's probably the case. Yeah, it's, well, you begin to analyze everybody around you, the constellation of friends you have and you wonder, okay, you know, I, that one I had issues with and I saw these behaviors or that relationship didn't work out and I saw these, these things that they were doing and now it makes sense.

And I think what it makes us realize is that there are a group of behaviors that when we see over and over in one individual, not occasionally but all the time, it makes us want to take a closer look and say, okay, is this person healthy for me or are they toxic? And that's the bottom line of the book.

I think the bottom line of the book is giving us a practical, I won't say rubric because it's not really a diagnostic tool but it kind of helps, it kind of helps clear the lens, the fog off the lens of is this person dangerous or we're just not getting along? And I thought that was extremely useful.

I just finished the book and prep for that. Go grab that book in fact. It's called Dangerous Personalities by Joan Avaro.

What Joe says in the Narcissism chapters is that their behaviour does not change. You think it will. They'll tell you it will. It doesn't change. It won't change.
