A Suppressive Person, or SP, is another name for the Anti-Social Personality. He is a person who works all the time to squash or hold down (suppress) other people around him. A Suppressive Person will work to make another person less important by saying bad things about him. He will stop any effort to help anybody. And most importantly, he will attack and try to squash or even destroy any person who he thinks might be or might become more powerful or more intelligent than he is.

The Suppressive Person’s entire way of thinking is built upon the belief that he would be in trouble if anyone got better, as others could then overcome him and make him helpless.

A Potential Trouble Source, or PTS, is someone who is connected to a Suppressive Person who is suppressing and making less of him, who he is, and what he does in his life. The person is a Potential Trouble Source because he is being negatively affected by the Suppressive Person.

Potential means it is possible that something will happen. So a Potential Trouble Source means a person who is very likely going to get upset and make trouble. And he really does make trouble.

Suppress means to squash, to sit on, to make smaller, to refuse to let someone reach out and expand their view, to make someone uncertain about his reaching and to make someone less by any means possible so as to harm the individual. This is all done to help protect the Suppressive Person.

Suppression means a harmful intention or action against which you cannot fight back. When you can do anything about it, it is less suppressive.

Suppression in its simplest form is taking away the person’s confidence in himself.

In the presence of suppression, you make mistakes.

People making mistakes or doing stupid things is evidence that a Suppressive Person exists around them.
