Bottom line.....as Divine said.....it is better to focus on behaviors & the red flags they should be causing so you can learn to counter. We need to be proactive against behaviors rather than labels
I agree with this.. we need to protect ourselves against red flags and behaviours rather than labels..

I’ve also found that in my experience labels aren’t always accurate
