So the clinical term that fits SJWs (aka Atheist Church Ladies aka Pearl-clutchers) perfectly is apparently called “High Conflict Person”.

Do any of these traits sound familiar?

HCPs are prone to the following thoughts, feelings, and actions:

• They split, or engage in all-or-nothing thinking
• Their negative feelings shape their reality (“feelings equal facts”)
• For the most part, their emotions are intense and fluctuate rapidly
• They have difficulty empathizing with others
• They have a hard time accepting and healing from a loss
• Their behaviors are extreme, in keeping with their distorted thoughts and feelings
• They’re preoccupied with blaming others and don’t take responsibility for their actions

They are preoccupied with a “target of blame” and take aggressive action against their target. This may include shoving or hitting, spreading rumors or outright lies, obsessive stalking, or the silent treatment. Many of their excessive behaviors are related to losing control over their emotions. Others are related to their drive to control or dominate you. This might include hiding your personal items, keeping you from leaving a conversation, or threatening extreme action if you don’t agree with them.

Playing the blame game unconsciously helps them feel safer, stronger, and better about themselves. They’re constantly in distress and oblivious of the negative, self-defeating effects of their own behavior. In a sense they are emotionally blind. Since HCPs can’t see the connection between their actions and their consequences, their difficult behavior continues and their conflicts grow.

HCPs persuade others to be “negative advocates” against their targets

This ability to engage negative advocates enables HCPs to avoid confronting their own behavior. So nothing changes and their high-conflict situations continue.

Negative advocates are usually family, friends, or professionals who help in blaming the target and escalating the conflict.

se: this is still giving them too much credit.

a lot of them are children, acting like children.
