The Personality Disorders

For the past month, I have been self-diagnosing myself:
So wondering whether you have a personality disorder? Maybe you can relate to some of these. Courtesy of my lecture notes.

So yeah, knock yourself over with it.

Apparently there are 9 Personality Disorders:

Cluster A: The odd and eccentric people

Paranoia
~Think everyone has a motive?
~Think you're going to die unexpectedly someday?
~Constantly overly worried about things?


Schizoid
~Do you never smile?
~Do you like being alone?
~Do you feel that you are cut off from society?
~Do you have a restricted range of emotions?



Schizotypal
~Do you believe in fairies, Santa Claus and the Abominable Snowman?
~Do you think the Hulk will crush your bullies?
~Do you think zombies are out there to kill you? :p

Cluster B: The Dramatic and Emotional People

Are you often bored?
Do you have a drug addiction history or have troubles in school?
Do you often lie and steal?
Do you often disrepect other people's boundaries?

Histrionic
~Are you dramatic?
~Do you cry a lot?
~Do you watch a lot of musicals and drama series?
~Do you dress colorfully?


Borderline
~Can you finish this sentence " I am..."?
~Do you know who you are?


Narcissistic
~Do you look at yourself in the mirror more than you should?
~Do you think that a lot of people want to be like you?
~Do you think you are a lot more important than most people?

Cluster C: The Fearful People

Avoidant

~Do you prefer to be left alone?
~Do you trust yourself more than everyone else combined?
~Do you hate rejection?
~Would you rather turn down a raise than get criticism?

Obsessive Compulsive
~Are you a perfectionist?
~Do you have a strict sense of right or wrong?
~Do you always fail to live up to your expectations?



Dependent
~Do you rely a lot on others even if they are simple decisions?
~Do you follow other people's opinions?
~Do you have your own judgement?

So yeah, don't know whether you skipped this through, but you should know...

10% of the population are Avoidant.
And yes.
It includes me.
Or at least I think so.
