Publisher's Summary
It is common knowledge that you are forced to deal with many different personalities during the holidays. You're suddenly forced to talk to your coworkers during the company's Christmas party. You run into the strange neighbor down the street during the Christmas parade. You see many of the other parents at the Christmas concert. You're invited to the in-laws' home for Thanksgiving dinner. You take your children to the mall for Christmas photos.
We start to stress before the holidays, but many of us aren't really stressing about the consumerism of Christmas or the fact that we have to buy a gift for someone else. We start getting depressed or anxious with all of the activities that are coming up. And we get anxious, depressed, or frazzled because we have to interact with a multitude of people during the holidays whom we normally don't have to interact with.
Most of the people we deal with have some sort of quirks that are occurring within their personalities. Many of us don't realize when we are interacting with other people that the other people might possibly have personality disorders or mental health problems. We are so focused on trying to behave in a social manner ourselves and trying to improve our own social performance that we often forget to look at other people as possible sources of our angst during social interactions.
Most of us have had to put up with that weird uncle or the quirky kid in school. We may not have done it well, but we made it through the social interaction. We can reduce our fear and anxiety around interacting with others when we start to take their personalities and their negative traits into mind while we are interacting with them. We can step outside of ourselves and stop feeling insecure or attacked by other people's odd behaviors by educating ourselves on the types of people we will meet.

Story
The narcissist is a force to be reckoned with. He has a nihilistic view of the world. He views his life as pointless. He has no religion, and most narcissists will actively consider themselves as being agnostic or atheistic. He has no guided purpose in his life. He is bored and listless. The only thing that gives a narcissist real pleasure is seeing other people in emotional pain, confusion, and suffering at his hands.

If you are feeling this way, my friend, there is a simple explanation. You may be dating or married to a narcissist. Your self-absorbed partner may be gaslighting and manipulating you. He may cycle between love-bombing and distancing himself from you. He seems to be a nice guy to your face sometimes, but then you find out that he is talking bad about you to others. He seems to triangulate you with other women or family members in order to make you jealous and boost his own ego.

Many people have heard of trauma and PTSD. But when we think of PTSD, many of us think of nightmares and flashbacks that are related to one traumatic incident or event that has been experienced by the sufferer. There is another form of PTSD that's related to being exposed to repetitive trauma. It is called Complex PTSD, coined by a woman named Judith Herman.

Asperger's Syndrome, or high-functioning autism, is a form of autism that falls on the autism spectrum. Asperger's Syndrome can be seen in adults and in children if you know what to look for. Many people who can be described as hypersensitive, odd or eccentric have Asperger's Syndrome which has gone undiagnosed. Some of the greatest comedians, singers, actors and inventors have Asperger's syndrome. They specialize in what they are good at, and they can become highly successful in doing so.

Ever since the DSM scale to differentiate personality disordered individuals was created, there have likely been relationships between men and women who have narcissistic personality-disordered and borderline personality-disordered personalities. It might seem that this dynamic duo shouldn't last, or shouldn't get together at all, but there is a lot of evidence that these relationships can and do work for a number of couples, who are quite happy in their unions.

We will show you where you can get help if you are struggling with BPD yourself or how to cope with being the child, lover, or friend of a person with BPD. It is critical to educate yourself on the effects of BPD, as it can be an illness that devastates lives if it is not kept in check and better understood by those who are dealing with it.

Many of my listeners contact me with a burning question: How do I capture the attentions and affections of the schizoid man that I have my eye on? They have tried all of the socially acceptable dating and marriage techniques to no avail. Schizoid men simply don't operate by the same socialization rules as everyone else, and thus one must alter their tactics if they are trying to date or marry a man with schizoid personality disorder.

Many people think of the typical serial killer when they hear the word psychopath. The truth is that there are psychopaths in our daily lives, and we may not even know it. Unlike the other four conditions in the Misunderstood Loner series, the psychopathy disorder is generally something a person is born with versus something that is learned from his environment. His brain is wired a certain way that many of us do not understand, much like how an autistic person has distinct wiring in his or her brain.

Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.
