I met a lot of people with traumatic histories, and were very insecure. They are utterly exhausting to be around. Constant nitpicking, valid criticism with brutal delivery. Make excuses to undermine others accomplishments.

They are not bad people, or have malicious intentions, but can only be described as utterly exhausting. You are always on edge.
