I know that online tests are not the least bit accurate when it comes to identifying psychological problems, but I found my results on
this test intersting.
Disorder
Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Low
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant:
Very High
Dependent:
Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive:
High
Gee, who would have predicted this
.
Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive haven't caused me any problems whatsoever, it's only the avoidant that's really bothering me.
Toaster: Thank you for the suggestion. I don't think I am spinning my wheels. I've done things and thought about them the last few days in a way I wasn't doing before. It hasn't changed my way of thinking much, but I don't think I should expect fast results. It's a slow, painful process, I understand that, but at least I am trying, a little bit each day. If I don't see any progress, I think seeking professional help and asking about medication is probably a good next step.
