Answers:
My 34 year old sister has these same behavioral traits. When she was 19 she was involved in a serious car accident she was very lucky to have survived. Dr said she has ABI (acquired brain injury) my sister scoffs at this. Also suspected Bipolar Disorder/ Paranoia (years of smoking cannabis heavily) My sister has not received any help or treatment as she refuses to see her behavior is "abnormal". Meanwhile she has been on a path of destruction tearing the whole family apart. I currently avoid her because she is also physically violent and very unpredictable. SEEK help please before you cant help. My drunk sister attacked me and my husband recently at a party we had, she threw a glass bottle at me and bashed into my partner who just took it because he doesn't believe in hitting women/anyone for that matter and he feared she would attack me instead. Sad and worried for you. God Bless.

yeah its a problem ... i was a little like that too
