Okay... I just have to wonder... what about Starlight's backstory gives the idea that she's "mentally healthy/normal/typical?" Is it not highly disproportionate, whether there were other factors involved in her path to villainy or not?


 
Whether you deny it or not, quite a bit of it checks out with what I mentioned (and heavens no, she isn't narcissistic, or antisocial, that is to say a sociopath, everything about her is antithetical to falling under that, nor is she depressed really; Trixie's far, far closer to being narcissistic than her).


 
But more importantly... explain your reasoning for this:

> Plus I think psychology is kind of a bust. Any healthy person can work through their problems with a good psychologist in 2 weeks — 2 months. Most of what people have wrong with them is self indulgence and an inflated ego.[/bq]

*How_* do you define "**healthy person**?" _*Where_* is the line drawn in that? Is someone suffering from "depression" a "healthy person," or do they fall under "mental **disability**?"


 
Hypothetically, how about say, someone who has a case of mild autism, do they fall under a case of "mental _***disability*_**," or are they a "healthy person" who can work through it in a "couple weeks to couple months?"


 
Plus, if psychology is "kind of a bust" in your opinion, then why would you need a psychologist? Isn't that viewpoint kinda self-contradictory?


 
Also, the last above quoted sentence is... perhaps questionable, shall I say?

[bq]
 

> No one can really understand someones true motives.[/bq]



 
I fundamentally disagree with that, but it can vary one how much you know about them, if you can understand/know them. If you don't say, know someone is a sociopath, and the underlying patterns associated, you don't have an accurate grasp of their motives, their MO, because chances are, they've probably misrepresented themselves with you, but if you do, you can grasp their motives, if you've had enough time and information to do so.
