I have been obsessively trying to sort it out for myself as well (even have been diagnosed yet not sure if originated within me or the worst brought in me by the antagonistic person’s behavior).
I do find this site helpful and also enjoy knowing the different people here. I am very isolated, too.

My biggest struggles are with having to acknowledge that there will always be antagonistic people in my life... and knowing how to deal with that fact and responding in ways that don't end up hurting me. I struggle with how to set boundaries with antagonistic people. I do admit that sometimes I do bring problems on myself... but it's also true that sometimes I am a victim - or perhaps I should say that there are times when people attempt to victimize me.
I'm talking here of close relationships(friends, spouse, family members), acquaintances, and even strangers at times.
