Geez I was really reading that personality disorder test...and whoo some of them are right--and it got me thinking of the past :-/ which is not good at all!! I try to really forget about the past and live in the present! I just wanted to kinda talk about them..
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant. They usually shift blame to other people and tend to carry long grudges. I got moderate on this one and the only thing I agree with 100% is tend to carry long grudges...I hold grudges for soo long and its kinda sad ooh well moving on
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners." I got low on this one...I do not show emotion at all, i try to hide it. I will not talk about my emotions either, except in here! I do prefer to be along and I do not want to be popular. I have very weak social skills and i could prolly be called a "loner" :-P Next..
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow. I scored low on this one also. I do seek isolation from others, just ask Devin :-P i will not go hang out with his friends..haha..
A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. Antisocials tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others. I scored moderate on this one...I am very anti social. I am not prone to criminal behavior :-P I do not lie and steal and I am careless with my money--heather still owes me 80$ and i will never see that EVER! I do take actions without thinking about the consequences!!
Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger. Often, they will take their anger out on themselves, causing injury to their own body. Suicidal threats and actions are not uncommon. Borderlines think in very black and white terms and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships. They are quick to anger when their expectations are not met. Geez this one I scored very high-- this is the one that really got me thinking of the past and what i did to myself and others :-x eh sometimes i think i have a poor self-image but moving on..i do have constant mood swings and bouts of anger. i do and have take anger out on myself :'( ive caused injury to my own body :-x umm the suicidal threats we will just leave that alone...
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative. I got moderate on this one..I do not constantly seek attention. I do not need to be the center of attention all the time. I do not dress provacatively...
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. Narcissists tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them. Scored high on this one, i am choosy about picking friends. i do have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships...thats a very good one!!!
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. Avoidants are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidants yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence. On this one i scored a very high..i do avoid social situations. i do have a fear of being rejected and i do worry about embarassing myself in front of others. i avoid new situations..i dont have a fantasy world :-P i am depressed alot and i do have low self-confidence...
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to cling to people and fear losing them. They may become suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let others make important decisions for them and often jump from relationship to relationship. Dependents often remain in abusive relationships. Over-sensitivity to disapproval is common. Dependents often feel helpless and depressed. I scored high-and i do need to be taken care of...i do cling on to people and fear of losing them!! I really dont become suicidal when a break-up occurs im just upset...i do let others make decisions for me :-/ and i do jump from realtionship to relationship...something to do with having someone always there! i think? Umm abusive relationships...not gonna get started but i wasnt abused or anything.. i do feel helpless and depressed alot...LASTLY...
Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion. I got a low on this one...everything doesnt have to be in order and perfect. everything doesnt ahve to be done "right" either just good!! i do avoid working in teams and i avoid making decisions--haha ask devin again, i always make him pick somewhere to go...and i do have a difficult time expressing my emotions!!!
