I think I have a Mental Disorder?
Question:
Answers:
I think I got the same thing too. I'm a really shy person too, and over the years I've taught myself to avoid opening up. Causing me to avoid relationships with people. I'm improving on talking to people and opening up to people, but it will take a while. All we got to do is teach ourselves to open up and not be afraid of getting closer to people. Give ourselves an incentive to be with others. All it is is fear of opening up. All you got to do is get past that fear, and you'll be fine. You're gona be 17, you got time. By the way I'm gona major in Psychology in college. It's a lot of school, but if you're really interested, you should try it. I hope this helped.
tell your parents or doctor about it and they can give you medication that might help, otherwise just because you sound like you have doesnt always necessarly mean you have it
I was psych major. I just graduated. In researching disorders, there are TONS that you will fit descriptions for. Usually, people who have personality disorders are not negatively affected by their symptoms. They are egosyntonic, or keeping with their self, and see no problem with their behavior. Others will have problems with it and urge them to seek help. I would advise you to speak to someone if you are very concerned, but otherwise, it is highly unlikely that you have a personality disorder.
yikes, this is exactly wut i have. Wow i didnt know it was a name for it. It fits me perfectly as well. Omgosh wow i read the whole thing and everything hits the nail on the head, i have this. Guaranteed this is what i have.
sh!t :(
No wonder why i always get so nervous when i find out im going to a place with alot of people. And no wonder why i like sitting in the house and afraid to go out cuz ppl will look at me.
Well, how do you feel. Or should I say, how did you feel before you started reading up on psychology? Just really shy, maybe? Let me tell ya, my parents had a palethera of books when I was growing up. Encyclopedias, and the dreaded medical journals! I would read these darn things and find myself having all the symptoms, psychologically! I swear for some time I "thought" I had a brain tumor. I 'thought" I was secretly dying! That's called hypochondria! You are maybe just reading a little more in to your shyness. If you do, by some chance, have the disorder, tell your parents. See what they think. It's not a death sentence, nor does it have to rule your life. On the positive side, you were looking up careers! Not where the best location would be to be a hermit! Right?
