I think that there might be a lot of overlap between A and narcissism. Idk which is the chicken and which is the egg but there seems like there’s some correlation. Maybe booze brings it out? Idk.

I read this explanation of why a narcissist picks fights and it rang true.

“The narcissist craves for you to ask them, “Why are you acting strange, what’s wrong?”

Just so they can reply with, “Nothing!” And a shoulder shrug to dismiss themselves before you start asking more questions.

Narcissist want unsolved problems to exist within their relationships because it fuels the toxic environment that will eventually strip away your virtues, your patience, and inner peace.

The narcissist wishes to keep their victim in an anxious state. They never want you to be able to calculate or predict their next attack on you.
