Personality disorders and you

**Which personality disorder (or more than one) describes you? (In a less severe form ofcourse).

Re: Personality disorders and you

At times I probably characterize myself as having a milder form of Avoidant Personality Disorder. Days when I just shut myself off from the world and sit in my own bubble :D

Re: Personality disorders and you

finally some one understands me :blush:

Re: Personality disorders and you

I have such tendencies too. It used to be worse when I was younger. But got over it somehow.
I remember at school our tables were put together in groups of 6 or 4. And while drawing or crafts I would detach my table from the group and sit alone :disgust:

So what’s the reason behind it, Monk?

Re: Personality disorders and you

that I did not know it was a disorder. :(
Now give me my pill.

Re: Personality disorders and you

Now where is the hypochondriac personality disorder, cuz I see almost all of these in me, except for the truly deranged ones like histrionic, narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

I have some others to add:

I-can-see-through-your-shizz disorder
Overly-saccharine-lovey-dovey-avoidance disorder
Douchey-behaviour-makes-me-want-to-punch-indiscriminately disorder
Severe-itch-to-self-promoting-goody-goodness disorder
I-am-sure-I-am-forgetting-many-more disorder

Re: Personality disorders and you

Hypochondria comes under somatoform disorders. But we can ad it in the list.

The ones that you added :hehe: Don’t sound like disorders. More like healthy behaviour if you are allergic to all that ochha stuff.

Re: Personality disorders and you

You need injections :(
