"Personality Disorder"
From Minor to Chronic, From Ignorance to Annoyance, From normal to irrational, From Abnormal to Trends!!!! How come a personality disorder become a trend? I don't get it!!
I went browsing the other day, looking for some info for the meaning of the word "Histrionic" (related to songs title), then i found quite a load simmiliarity to one of my "never been" friend. hahaha what a coincidence, coz i found her very distracting, annoying and "something isnt rite". Then i was quite surprised with the article that i read about these disorders.
First one is "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. 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.
Symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder:
Needs to be the center of attention
Dresses or acts provocatively
Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions
Exaggerates friendships
Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech
Easily influenced; highly suggestible
And then the TREND at the moment "Narcissistic":
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.
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder:
- Requires excessive praise and admiration
- Takes advantage of others
- Grandiose sense of self-importance
- Lack of empathy
- Lying, to self and others
- Obsessed with fantasies of fame, power, or beauty
Then "Dependent" :
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.
Symptoms of Dependent Personality Disorder:
- Difficulty making decisions
- Feelings of helplessness when alone
- Suicidal thoughts upon rejection
- Submissiveness
- Deeply hurt by mild criticism or disapproval
- Unable to meet ordinary demands of life
And from 3 of the above, she got all of those criteria.. Oh Man!!! Isnt that amazing??? Up until now she's still struggling with the thoughts that she's always rite but nobody is listening.. i do pitty her but nevermind!!
Another PD is "Schizoid" :
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."Symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder:
- Weak interpersonal skills
- Difficulty expressing anger, even when provoked
- "Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations
- Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged
- Low sexual desire
- Unresponsive to praise or criticism
I think i know who!!! hahahhahaha
Then "Avoidant" :
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.
Uhm... To be continue...
