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

Disturbed characters often think they’re so smart, so clever, or so “special” that they can do what most others wouldn’t dream of trying and somehow get away with it. They see themselves as “legends in their own minds.”

Most of the time, the disordered character will act first and think about what they’ve done later.

Disordered characters often live in a world of their own fantasy, adhering to the belief that “thinking makes it so.”

Right from the first minute the disordered character thinks someone is asking something from them, they start planning how they will resist.
