In your point of view, what are some positives of PPD?

Just wondering on what people can come up with since the schizotypal board is going through the mausoleums.

you are more aware

Unlikely to get blackmailed?

I always seem to be right about people. And no one can touch me. I keep me and my close ones safe and in power, because I think outside the box. I am "over the top" so I never miss anything out.

Well, there's actually a personality style that is related to PPD called the "vigilant personality style". http://www.ptypes.com/vigilant.html.

This could actually come in useful in a fair few scenarios, and the level of paranoia and mistrust these individuals posses is adaptive.

We have 2 special needs children who have 20+ surgeries in the last 9 years. My ppd wife is over the top on their care. She will be combatitive with the doctors and will not let them blow her off if they haven't answered her quetsions or doesn't trust their judgement. The kids have all necessary equipment for their diagnosis and me ppdw has been able to get that all through the insurance companies where we know many families in similiar situations gave up.

She is a great advocate.

Easier risk repricing. Or maybe, more likely to risk reprice in the markets a bit ahead of the curve.

I have been attempting to have more of the positive types of PPD traits such as mindfulness and the ability to perform moving analysis of environments, so that I can boundary-set. Continuous and ongoing setting of healthy boundaries and self-worth behaviors are my weak areas.

I was caught in a trap set by a pwNPD a few days ago. I tried to avoid the person, he trapped me into an interaction, and then I permitted him to spew derogatory statements camouflaged as "I hope you didn't think X, even though we did all of these "X" behaviors to you for five years." Nobody ever wanted you to think "X" and if you did, you were mistaken. So I proceeded to engage in a conversation with him unnecessarily, to the point of saying things I shouldn't have said. I should have just waved as I walked away. If I had more PPD traits, I would have stood at the window, watched for his car to leave the lot, and only then proceeded safely to my vehicle.

I feel like I have higher cognitive function than others. Able to dig and break apart puzzles and obscurity's.

I have SPD not PPD, but my father had PPD & I think I picked up some traits from him. I think it would be really hard to con me. I don't accept anyone's words without considering their intent and if something sounds too good (e.g., get a vacation for free) I automatically write it off as a scam.

PPDs would make great philosophers due to the way we approach life. I know some PPDs from my therapy group. Probably the only thing I actually look forward going to that group is to discuss a certain topic with other PPDs. It is refreshing although nons might laugh at the way we think.
