tabular_rasaMy corned beef and cabbage was absolutely delicious. I am no longer honorarily Catholic, but it was worth it, lol . . . The meat was so tender, and, I must say, I did an excellent job, lol . . .
So, being histrionic and dependent (and moderately avoidant), I think everybody loves me, but I am constantly preparing myself for the assured event that they will someday leave.
The obsessive-compulsive result goes without saying (but I'd be under the anxiety obsessive-compulsive disorder, not the personality obsessive compulsive disorder), and I always score "histrionic," though it's only because I am attention-seeking (histrionic personality is based more around sex, apparently, which my attention-seeking is not, so much), but I believe this is the first time I've ever gotten anything higher than "moderate" on dependence. Somehow, this doesn't surprise me, though . . .
Still, I think it's more that I have a dependent, clingy personality than a dependence personality disorder. I oftentimes tone down my views to be agreeable to others (I call it "tact"), and, yes, well, I do really fear being abandoned. Yet I can be alone, for the most part, I don't get into relationships just to be in relationships, and I don't have that much trouble making decisions (though I fear I am getting worse).
(Sometimes I wonder if it's only our society that makes dependence a disorder; shouldn't overly proactive people have just as equally a disorder? I don't believe there is one; we are disgusted by clingy, affectionate, overly-amiable, submissive types-- the "weak"-- but it's okay to be bold, overbearing, and tactless . . . )
Is there a disorder based around wanting to have a disorder? Though, thinking about it, I think I'd rather stay stressed-out, attention-seeking, and clingy than have to take some drugs that make me deadpan, fat, and unable to sexually function or something, lol . . . It'd just be the joy of having something "wrong with me" to talk about. Do I like it because it excuses my actions/character flaws, or do I like it because it gives me something to talk about and feel pitied for? I like playing the victim, after all . . .
Edit (9:04 pm): I am still an honorary Catholic! Apparently the Pope made some like amnesty for eating meat today, lol . . . Wow . . .

Yes. Dependent.
I think that you just want more people to notice you, therefore you got more dependant. Yeah...I'm psychoanyalizing you...hooker.
