4.8 RECOGNIZING DYSFUNCTIONAL
PERSONALITY TYPES
Signs that Indicate You are Dealing with Dysfunctional
People
*After spending time with them, you feel “fogged” -- like you
aren’t thinking clearly.
*You thought you were thinking correctly about a situation, but
after being with them, you now feel your approach to life is being
questioned.
*You feel blamed for another person’s situation.
*You feel responsible to “fix” a situation that is a result of
another person’s (repetitive) choices.
*You feel if you were a “good person” you maybe should help
them out.
*You are concerned about how innocent people (e.g. children)
will suffer from the poor choices made by another person.
*Other people are mad at you because you won’t “help them out”
(just this once!).
*You are being blamed for being unreasonable and insensitive to
their situation.
*You have been in this situation before (or one very similar to it)
with this person. Probably previously you “helped them out” and
they are in the same predicament again.
*You are concerned that if you don’t rescue them from their
current situation, the consequences are so significant that it may
ruin their life in the future.
