So it's not misinterpreted, these are not insults, these are issues the people I know manage which are the effect of over exercised neuroticism in their personalities, a trait I personally leverage to do things like write, code, make music, be funny, creative, etc. see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5428182/
When it becomes overemphasized, you get the issues I mentioned above.
Those insults could equally well be slung at either side, and it would be just as much part of the problem.
