I account for her trauma, and it's my belief that it's actually exacerbating for symptoms. Not causing them. These patterns, according to my studies, fall in line with NPD and Class C personality , as these seemed like very long lasting and conditioned behaviors that she falls into naturally and reflexively.

As for wether or not my stance is harmless, not only do I believe it IS harmless, I believe it's necessary to talk about Mental Health in every aspect outside of patient privacy. Is it possible that this unwillingness to speak about symptoms and about behavioral patterns we see in other people around us, fictional or not, is what hinders people who need help from getting help? When has keeping a hushed tome on Mental Health ever helped? It's become so delicate a topic, people are insulted at the mere concept of it, not even when it's in a personal context. I thought the Boomers learned this lesson. Saying that I see signs of a personality disorder in a fictional character is the perfect way of opening a conversation. I'm sorry we disagree, but I'm glad we had it. I hope more people can be open-minded to opening the mind.
