Jup can confirm. Not sure about highly empathic butiI try to be kind and I'm sure I understand way to good why my wife is as toxic as she is. Still I refuse to derive consequence from that as I know what's wrong with her and what needs to happen. Being toxic sadly prevents her from seeking therapy and she takes it out on our lives instead.

That's interesting. I'd like to see why "light" personalities don't auto-reject dark traits. I wonder if it's some personal experience with rejection, and I wonder if personalities in the middle or "dark" ends of the spectrum may suspect "light" personalities as manipulative based on their own personal experiences, and how many reject "lights" because they're viewed as naïve or "stupid?"
