The Disorders and Character Flaws Thread

Seltzer · 06-05-2010, 03:14 AM

I've never seen a psychologist because I don't believe I have any kind of nebulous disorder requiring attention or explanation.

Externally, I'm perceived as being completely stable and relatively free from neuroticism. I am however, mortally afraid of offending people and being negatively judged. This leads to me being somewhat obsessive and pedantic in the things I create, and over-analysing everything... I'm ashamed to produce anything substandard lest it negatively reflect on me, and I read into things and meditate over them faaaaar more than I should. I can also be extremely defensive as I hate being seen in the wrong although most people never see that side of me. This means that I dislike competition but when I do have to compete in something, I tend to do well because I'm afraid of losing. Sometimes it's just easier to avoid people you don't know well in order to avoid judgement and scrutiny.

Well it felt good to get that off my chest. Do you mind if I rename this thread so that it pertains to disorders and character flaws in general?

I don't have anything (as far as I know) but I grew up with two younger brothers who both have ADHD, Tourette's and one of them also has Asperger's. While they were the ones suffering from the syndroms and no doubt had it the worst, it sure wasn't easy for the rest of us either.

Honey, I have a ****tail of disorders. I'm practically a fountain of mental illness. And while I admire the courage of some members here, posting about their weaknesses and such, I'm simply too reserved and embarassed to go into detail about mine.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to some Britney Spears and pretend my problems don't exist.

PS: ****tail is not a swear word!

Well, at least now I know how to circumvent the rule where appropriate.

i've never been clinically checked but i'm sure they'd sign me up for a half dozen prescriptions because i'm not interested in following the status quo. it's like modern society wants you to feel 'wrong' for not wanting to be on TV like all those 'reality' stars... or at least behaving like them.

Seltzer pretty much sums me up too, on the outside most people think i'm fine, on the inside i'm kind of a mess.

I think everyones tough on the outside and a mess in the inside. I myself am a shambles on the inside, but won't admit it to one single person. Infact my eldest brother is crippled with worry about me, as he doesn't know if I'm okay as I don't talk about my feelings.
