Avoidant Personality Disorder

Avoidant Personality Disorder, sometimes abbreviated as AVPD, is a relatively rare personality disorder that makes a person abnormally...well, avoidant.

Symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder can include:
-Extreme sensitivity to criticism or rejection, even if done in a nice way
-Social isolation, due to only hanging out with people who will accept them and avoiding people who are critical

-Fear of conflict; not voicing complaints, lest the subject(s) of the complaint react harshly
-Extremely low self-esteem; lower than that of a person suffering from depression
-Crippling shyness

-Being easily embarrassed or flustered
-Over-explaining a lot to avoid any potential misunderstandings
-Being unresponsive to any forms of communication (particularly verbal communication), especially if they are unhappy with someone, or vice versa
-Having trouble asking for help
-Extreme indecisiveness

Mental and personality disorders are different for everyone, but it doesn't make them any less serious.

Antisocial Personality Disorder

Otherwise known as AsPD or more commonly, Sociopathy. Sociopaths, on contrary to common belief, are, in most cases, not criminals or murderers. Only severe sociopathy may result in crime. Sociopaths are people who disregard or violate rules of society, lacks guilt and empathy, and despite being impulsive, they are probably intelligent and charismatic.

One of my close friends has Antisocial Personality Disorder. She excels in Maths and psychology, though she constantly gets into hot water by her impulse. She values ratiocination and logical reasoning but do not understand how others feel.

Cosplay Personality Disorder

A common sensation amongst cosplayers in which they cosplay a character, and said character develops an alternate persona in their head. The character does not take over their consciousness, but often comments on their lives, and can sometimes influence them to do somethin (or else character will complain. relentlessly.) Can be likened to a very annoying, but tolerable alter-ego.

This is also a common ailment for writers and online roleplayers as well.

Person 1: Since when did you start drinking Earl Grey Tea every morning?

Person 2: My inner (character) wanted it.

Person 1: Looks like you have Cosplay Personality Disorder.

personality disorder

When one's personality traits and/or behavior become rigid and consistently deviate from the expectations of one's society, consistently blunt one's social life and ability to function appropriately in society. Usually manifested before the age of 15 and persisting into adulthood.
Often the result of abusive or otherwise unstable home environments in childhood, as well as from heavy stress, if not with some influence of genetic predisposition.

The three main clusters of personality disorders are:
A (odd)
*paranoid personality disorder (irrationally suspicious and mistrustful)
*schizoid personality disorder (uninterested in socializing or pleasure)
*schizotypal personality disorder (odd behavior/odd thoughts)
B (dramatic)
*antisocial personality disorder (disregard for laws and for the feelings of others)
*histrionic personality disorder (attention-seeking exhibitionist)
*borderline personality disorder (extreme "black and white" thinking and emotional instability)
*narcissistic personality disorder (grandiose and lacking empathy)
C (anxious)
*avoidant personality disorder (shy, insecure, and highly sensitive)
*dependent personality disorder (psychological dependence on others)
*obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (rigid conformity to rules, morality, and orderliness)

"Insanity can be cured. Personality disorders are so inextricably entwined with the heart and mind and soul that it is well-nigh impossible to excise them."

-Ann Rule, "Small Sacrifices" page 442

It is preferable to be crazy, since "crazy" can be treated; the conscience can't grow back for the sociopath (antisocial personality), the histrionic can't leave center stage, the narcissist can't leave the mirror, and the borderline personality mainly thinks in "black and white" terms.

histrionic personality disorder

his-tree-on-ik · A personality disorder chiefly characterized by an insatiable and excessive desire to seek attention from others. They come off as highly sociable and extroverted and present themselves in an overly dramatic flirtatious manner. They become easily upset and resentful when they're not the center of attention.

Brad: Yo dude that hot chick over there is signalling me!
Chad: Be careful, that lady is known to have histrionic personality disorder. She'll sleep with any men she can find, but beware of her fits when you don't give her the attention she craves, which is virtually insatiable. Hence why everyone is ignoring her.
