Asking because not only did I suspect my (now former) boss to be like that, there was also a massive meltdown in a specific content creation space where an otherwise extremely kind CC was exposed as… being a bit special. So I thought I should try to get better at spotting ppl like that in order to not burn myself

Edit: Thanks everyone. I guess I didn’t word it correctly but my goal wasn’t to “diagnose” someone. I’m Autistic & am working in a field that allegedly attracts lots of hyper-competitive/toxic ppl, so I want to protect myself. That’s why. I already saw tons of useful comments so

    I mean, only OP can clarify what they actually meant. I was just sharing my interpretation, which I will say leans heavily on the final “in order to not burn myself” line.

      Then why are you trying to clarify for them, especially in such a way that is so far from what they wrote? I am taking them at face value. There isn’t a whole lot to infer here. They are trying to diagnose their boss. It’s irresponsible to support this. This isn’t two buddies sitting at a bar speculating about someone they know.
