Personality disorders.
So I took this personality disorder test (which I stole from chicafrom3; many thanks!), and the results are pretty funny.

It says I'm narcissistic, which really surprised me, because I rarely have a day when I think I look good. There were two questions that asked if you constantly reassure yourself that you're good enough and worth praise, so maybe that's what did it, I don't know.
HERE is the thing I find funny, though. It also says that I'm Avoidant. Let's see what it says there:
"People with this disorder often feel inadequate, are fearful of being rejected, are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence."
Hmm. Something strange there. So apparently I'm self-scentered and self-confidant, but also have low self-confidence......? Not sure how that works out. Let's see how the rest of me measures up.
DEPENDANT:
"Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. Over-sensitivity to disapproval is common. Dependents often feel helpless and depressed."
OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE:
"People with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. (EH?!?!?!?!) 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."
SCHIZOTYPAL:
"The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving. Individuals with this disorder sometimes believe 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."
BORDERLINE:
"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."
HISTRIONIC:
"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."
Okay, so basically, I think this thing is a little off. Cause I am DEFINITELY not a clean, orderly person who is obsessed with having everything neat and who gets caught up on the details, so screw the Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. I am definitely not a person who thinks that I am hot shit beautiful. I do tend to think I am hot shit (ahaha, here is where you all make fun of me/hit me with hats for being a tool), but my looks are one thing that I still have to tell myself are okay. All throughout elementary and middle school, I was made fun of, so in eighth grade, when my mom asked if I knew I was pretty, I didn't believe her. It didn't make sense to me, because I had never been mean to any of the kids that were making fun of me, so why would they make fun of me unless I was ugly. That's what I thought. It took me long time still to realize that might not be the case, and I still deal with it, so I would never call myself narcissistic.
Histrionic I'll give myself. I am an ass that likes to be the center of attention and I do like people to tell me I'm awesome. I admit it. Sorry, I'm a loser that way.^^()
Schizotypal really shocked me, because it sounded EXACTLY like me. Not in a way that anyone around me would know, but the part about thinking that obscure things have something to do with one's self.....I do that all the time. And then I get really confused when I start to think it through more thoroughly or explain it to someone and realize that it really doesn't all make sense. I don't know, its weird.
Borderline, I think is pretty clear. Cutting myself, depression, we've been through that. Let's not discuss it anymore.
Overall, this was a decent test, but I think the things that I'm most like are ones that I ranked low on, and the ones I'm least like, I ranked high on. Weeeird.
I'ma go clean now.
