I shared these examples simply to show how anyone can be deceived, even by someone they really thought they knew and could trust.

Interacting with other human beings is always a challenge and all we can do is learn our own mistakes that we may not have realized we made and do our best to try to not engage with individuals that can challenge us to engage in some kind of toxic scenario. This relationship forum is full of scenarios where different members have shared how a friend, spouse, family member they thought they could trust had a part of them that they never knew existed and have been blindsided. Depending on what a person experienced it can have a huge affect on how that person can find a way to trust again.
You are right. We all encounter dangerous people.

But the entire thread didn’t appear to be about sad experience that the person had in hands of specific individual with specific diagnosis and they needed support. This thread starts by general warning about horrid and awful people with specific mental illness diagnosis.

It’s like if I posted thread “I want to warn you against horrid awful people out there with (insert diagnosis)”, I’d probably be warned that this is wrong. If the person wants to discuss stalkers it’s fine, but why mass-diagnosing them?
