Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?

They aren’t mutually exclusive labels, so you might just be a positive person that doesn’t pick up on nefarious clues so well and thusly aren’t going to recognize the kind of casual dishonesty being referenced here.
I think you may be assuming gaslighting is something only done by the wicked.

While people can be polite and honest, it is clear that they are talking about someone who cares far more about one than the other.

I know, I’m just trying to describe the type of person who is nice but not good, since they said they cannot think of someone like that.
