Dear Cali Chica:

As your mother pointed to people as being bad to  her, or just having it easy in life, you felt so  sorry for your  poor mother, so empathetic that you naturally felt angry at those people, angry at them for having it easy (the injustice of it!) and/ or for hurting your good,  innocent mother (the injustice of it!!).

Fast forward,  you spot an indication that a person is selfish or in a bad mood or angry and these things get magnified in your brain into “evil” (a very strong word)  and  narcissistic and psychopaths.
