Has anyone here lived with someone who has bipolar disorder? Or histrionic personality disorder?
It's a completely different world with the latter. You cannot ever meaningfully assume anything they say is true. It's a constant rephrasing of reality and editing of events, misplacing blame, and perpetual attention-seeking, pity, and bad-decision making.
And that last part is the key.
Robert Greene had a great insight: When someone is perpetually unlucky in life, it's very rare that they're just purely unlucky. Instead, it's more likely they're not great at making decisions. Instead of having any shred of self-preservation, they consistently self-destruct.
