I believe the people who personally attack me have undiagnosed and untreated mental illness. I believe they are projecting onto me. I know my own mother did that, so I am quite sure strangers could easily do that.
I think that I don't trust people because I have PTSD and I'm hyper vigilant, not because I don't trust myself. There are very few people who have shown themselves to be trustworthy. I have an exacting standard of honesty.
What is shocking to me is to discover my mother might be a psychopath. I saw borderline and narcissistic traits in her, but psychopathy takes it up a notch I wasn't expecting.

But who are these people? You haven't specified. Regardless though, there are a lot of people out there who would qualify for some sort of diagnosis and probably would benefit from treatment... except they don't go that route, and take out their misery on everyone around them.
How honest does someone have to be to meet your standard?
Female psychopaths tend to present a bit differently than their male counterparts. I've noticed that females are harder to identify, as their psychopathic traits can hide in the guise of some other cluster B personality disorder.
