-Can only guess what normal behavior is
-Have difficulty following a project from beginning to end
-Lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth
-Judge themselves without mercy
-Have difficulty having fun
-Take themselves very seriously
-Have difficulty with intimate relationships
-Overreact to changes over which they have no control
-Constantly seek approval and affirmation
-Usually feel that they are different from other people
-Are either super responsible or super irresponsible-there's no middle ground
-Are extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved
-Are impulsive. They tend to lock themselves into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. This impulsively leads to confusion, self-loathing and loss of control over their environment. In addition, they spend an excessive amount of energy cleaning up the mess.
Yeah, most of those.
