Even that, though, can be disadvantageous under some circumstances. For ex, someone like your description might easily get 'played' while in enemy hands, either demonic or human. One of the iron rules of war, for ex, is that all interaction with the enemy is interaction with the enemy, that is, you never forget that they are the enemy. A person who inherently has trouble doing that can be a big weakness under some conditions.
