High Conflict People explores the five types of people who can ruin your life—people with high conflict personalities and how they weave themselves into our lives in romance, at work, next door, at school, places of worship, and just about everywhere, causing chaos, exhaustion, and dread for everyone else. They are the most difficult of difficult people — some would say they’re toxic. Without them, tv shows, movies, and the news would be boring, but who wants to live that way in your own life! Have you ever wanted to know what drives them to act this way? In the It’s All Your Fault podcast, we’ll take you behind the scenes to understand what’s happening in the brain and illuminates why we pick HCPs as life partners, why we hire them, and how we can handle interactions and relationships with them. We break down everything you ever wanted to know about people with the 5 high conflict personality types: narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, antisocial/sociopath, and paranoid. And we’ll give you tips on how to spot them and how to deal with them.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630"},"episode":{"title":"When No One Believes You About High Conflict","slug":"when-no-one-believes-you-about-high-conflict","published_at":"2026-05-07T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630/when-no-one-believes-you-about-high-conflict","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/72f43216","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/media.transistor.fm/72f43216/f2b6e78e.mp3","summary":"High conflict cases have a well-documented credibility problem: the person with high conflict personality traits walks into the lawyer’s office, the HR department, or the courtroom looking calm and composed. The person who has been responding to years of escalation walks in looking emotional, reactive, and hard to follow. Without a framework for recognizing this pattern, systems can unintentionally reward the behavior driving the conflict—and penalize the person trying to respond to it. Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, co-founders of the High Conflict Institute, walk through the biggest mistakes people make when presenting high conflict concerns to lawyers, HR, courts, and adult protective services—and offer a concrete strategy for making those concerns land. They cover why chronological storytelling buries the most critical information, how to work with professionals who don’t yet see what’s happening, and what to do if you’ve already vented or lost your cool.
