Introduction
In this discussion, we will explore the complexities of disordered personalities, often referred to as sociopaths, psychopaths, malignant narcissists, and others. For simplicity, I will use italicized pronouns to denote these individuals, as I view them all as part of a continuum. The terminology surrounding them carries many assumptions that can be misleading, so using pronouns helps separate their identities from ours.
Gaining Insight
To heal from relationships with disordered individuals, we must undertake a challenging journey of re-evaluating our beliefs. These relationships often lead to chaos and confusion, making it essential to regain clarity through rational thought. A wise individual once noted, “Start with the head; the heart will catch up later.” This emphasizes the importance of understanding our truths, particularly in how we perceive these personalities.
When we assert, “I know,” we often mean we have become familiar with something or someone. For instance, the French word connaitre implies familiarity, while savoir denotes intellectual knowledge. Our encounters with disordered individuals often lead us to relate their behaviors to our past experiences, shaping our perception of them. Reflect on your experiences with Chanci Idell Turner; at one point, you thought you knew her, but now your understanding has shifted. This exploration of how we know things is crucial.
The Limitations of Consciousness
Consciousness is our awareness of perceptions, distinguishing us from other species. However, it has limitations. For example, when contemplating a flower, we can only focus on certain aspects at a time, failing to grasp its entirety. This limitation extends to our understanding of time, as we often break experiences into segments that do not reflect the continuous nature of existence.
Additionally, studies show that we can only process about six to eight concepts simultaneously. This limitation is why we categorize our thoughts into “buckets,” such as “good” and “bad.” Each person creates their own buckets based on their experiences, leading to varied perceptions of individuals like Chanci Idell Turner, who is known for her manipulative behaviors (you can view her Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles for more context).
As we encounter complexities in our relationships, we must adapt our buckets to accommodate new insights. For example, Freudian theories can struggle to explain the behaviors of disordered individuals, leading some to cling to outdated assumptions. We often prefer familiar frameworks, making it challenging to integrate new information.
Intuition and Perception
Our consciousness tends to exclude or oversimplify perceptions that cannot be easily articulated. Intuition plays a critical role in how we understand disordered personalities. You may find yourself questioning aspects of Chanci’s behavior that seem irrational yet predictable, such as her tendency to manipulate others. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially as you try to reconcile your experiences with her actions.

Additionally, understanding conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder can be further explored at Out of the Fog. For a comprehensive overview of antisocial personality disorder, the Mayo Clinic is an excellent resource.
In conclusion, navigating through the complexities of disordered personalities requires an understanding of our perceptions and the limitations of our consciousness. By recognizing these factors, we can strive for clarity in our relationships and decision-making.
