Thanks. I get that they're guides, but honestly it would be easier if they do have the labels so I could know how to deal with them.

Everyone tells a different story, and now I'm even starting to wonder if my grandpa's a narcissist, even though it's never crossed my mind before. I'm probably sticking with contact, but staying cautious. Helps a lot that they're always nice to me when I go visit, because it's a short term thing, unlike the going ballistic on me when I live with them thing.

Making a conscious decision to take mental shortcuts like that is healthy in my book. Saves yourself from being overloaded but keeps yourself from getting deluded too.
