A long time ago, people with a significant amount of money were diagnosed with various mental health ailments. While many people would consider this medical fraud, it was often viewed as a protection mechanism. A form of self defense or estate security. This allowed people to plead "not guilty by reason of insanity", it also allowed accountants, lawyers, groundskeepers, and other service workers to do most of the property management. The owner or estate inheritor set what we call policies today that were followed by what we would call workers today. It doesn't matter if they have a close relationship with the estate owner, or if they are a contractor or employee. The modern use is worker, and it creates a barrier of notice and probable cause.
Anything large enough can create a large deal of corruption and presents risks that must be mitigated for the estate owner.
The workers have an interest in keeping themselves safe, and not having a conflict of interest with other estates where they may be working. In fact having workers at multiple estates, and being able to maintain confidentiality can create estate families and this provides a form of risk assessment when interfacing with new families or different estates. Its normally not considered spying because they are just going about their business and communicating with each other about their work.
This makes the estate owners extremely popular among their population groups and it minimizes the need of governance. Most have a need of resource management, trade, or printing of money or currency. They normally have their own disciplinary methods and rarely need any police. Many are willing to have their own police that follow a set of written policies and are allowed to detain and question. Few places with large estates are interested in jails.
One of the most common forms of detention is economic deprivation or price gouging. This is used as an encouragement in behavior modification and its not so much about having power as it is in creating an awareness of behaviors that are in contrast to the standard acceptable conduct or expected behaviors.
Prejudice, isolation, shunning, and hatred are traditionally used to encourage people to move out of an area. This can also be slight inconveniences at an overly frequent rate, and people get the picture. More recently, people receive notice and hearing that they are desired to move out of an area due to undesired behavioral expressions.
During the 1980s to mid 1990s mental health diagnosis was a popular trend for people with large estates or projected to be popular in the near future. Today, they can often be rated as an economist or group leader that while popular doesn't necessarily have direct influence over people living in an area or following a certain lifestyle. This is categorized as an influencer or marketer and has a corresponding diagnostic of influenza which includes grandiosity and can result in assessments for split personality, bipolar, anxiety, depression, and insomnia among other mental health ailments that may constitute a defense in criminal proceedings.
This classification is often unnecessary because the estate owners often have privacy in their medical treatment, there's HIPAA, alternative sentencing considers things like outcomes of public policy, and being extremely popular can count as a form of representation for a population group. Representatives aren't often penalized for organizing proposals and numbering votes. However, there will often need to be some sort of official documentation that everyone had a chance to vote and express their grievances on new policies that were approved for a population group. This is normally in a statistical format with a grievance office to request minority rights.

Assessment and Analysis
Its important to understand that a person in theater, drama, public performance, or marketing has to interface with a lot of people they don't know. On average, a person interfacing with the public is recommended to meet 30-50 people per day for 1 year just to become used to working with large crowds and getting accustomed to forgetting people's names, remembering faces, or recalling events. A lot of people will also look similar but may not be "related" or even know each other. They are normally not immediately related, but they are likely part of the same gene group.
Contexts of professional environments also apply to professions in theater or drama. A computer programmer has to examine minute detail and may have to test a module multiple times to ensure quality. This does not mean they have OCD. A lot of computer workers need to work in sterilized environments and have multiple cleaning agents in their workplace or office. This does not mean they have germaphobia.
Its true that certain conditions may be onset by workplace tasks or policy and self assessment is key to examining behaviors and making necessary adjustments. Clinical diagnostics requires 6 months of persistent behaviors. The lab testing is costly and time consuming. Its not always covered by insurance and may have a payment plan associated with testing.
Workplace behaviors - attention seeking, confidence, relatability, accessibility. Communicating in the same language and understanding a culture and interaction norms is important. Sexuality is permissive, people communicate through body language and provocative clothing, a group leader would have to understand at least some of this language. Impulsivity can be related to trends and rules on registration, first to market, inclusiveness, equitable practices, adaptability, and being relatable. This means that delayed reactions to a trend can cause a drop in popularity which can affect the workplace. While there may be a perception of impulsivity, a standard work day covers a lot of reviews of agreement and quality assessment. If someone is normally, the focus of attention in theater or drama, it makes sense that professionally, they might be uncomfortable if someone else has been selected to be the focus of attention. The reason for the discomfort would need to be assessed, is it because of workplace performance, resentment, or something else?
Worklife Balance - professionals are often work oriented instead of family oriented. This is an oversimplification of expression for brevities sake. Similar to extrovert/introvert, most people have a range of behaviors that can be measured on a scale. Time commitments are an important consideration in assessing relationships. Someone who is short on time outside of work may view a relationship as going positively with someone they've known for 2-3 weeks, this is a standard dating period in many areas for a yes/no. In contrast someone where work is not a priority and is a means to an end at most, may view the decision period for yes/no in a relationship to be closer to 6 months to 1 year. They can go on 5 different dates over a 5 year period and spend a significant amount of time with each person before making a decision for long term. A person in a professional environment may not have this much time to socialize outside of work and may not want to date co-workers by default. Meeting someone they get along with is normally random, and there are a lot of personality and interest assessments within those 2-3 weeks.
This context of time and availability may cause people from different environments to perceive them as assessing relationships as more intimate than they actually are.
One thing to consider is that work environments often focus on being polite. This can contribute to making new friends sooner and being more open to talking with strangers. It can also help with discovering if there are any shared interests or similar expressions for ongoing interactions.
The time schedule may make it seem that people are delaying gratification. However, they should be presented with a list of items to do during days off. This might require a budget assessment and assessment of time commitment. If someone has 48 hours off from work, they need 10-16 hours of sleep and the activity they want to participate in takes 3-5 days to complete, they may have to delay gratification to the next opportunity. This can also cause difficulty in starting relationships or meeting other people with similar expression and interests.
