It's funny how concerned I am about self-preservation

For example:

• I probably wouldn't wear high heels regularly because of the horrific bunions they can cause
• I don't like wearing heavy earrings because they can lead to misshapen, stretched earlobes
• I'm incredibly meticulous about every aspect of personal hygiene, especially dental care
• The idea of wearing foundation doesn't appeal to me because of its pore-clogging effect
• I spend a considerable amount of money on skincare
• I don't listen to loud music because I'd hate to lose part (or all) of my hearing
• I vehemently refuse to eat food even a day out of date because food poisoning is a frightening prospect
• I take vitamins C and D everyday and sometimes have an extra multivitamin, just as supplements
• I do regular brain exercises to stay mentally fit (yes, perhaps I should pay a little more attention to the physical side sometimes, but I do walk regularly and eat healthily most of the time so that's something)

I took a personality disorder test

My results were:
Paranoid - Low
Schizoid - Low
Schizotypal - Moderate
Antisocial - Low
Borderline - Low
Histronic - High
Narcisstic - Low
Avoidant - Low
Dependent - Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive - High

Analysis:
Schizotypal - Very, very slightly agree with. I am odd, but have no such anxiety, shyness or obsession with paranormal phenomena
Histronic - Hmm, I can be suggestible in some situations and I do use extravagant language at times. Okay, and I sometimes like being the centre of attention. But I don't feel a need for it.
Dependent - I do hate feeling alone, sometimes feel the need for praise and am very indecisive. But oddly enough I'm quite independent in the way that I'm comfortable in my own company and feel strong enough to accept criticism or dislike from others.
Obsessive-Compulsive - I completely agree. This term gets thrown around a lot and I tried to reassure myself that I was fine but recently I've come to the point where I can admit that I may have a problem. Very nearly all the symptoms match up to me and it's kind of scary but oh well. I'd kind of like to be properly diagnosed because I just want to know and maybe get some help. The name of this blog comes from the fact that my hands often end up bright pink/red, dry, cracked and occasioanlly bleeding from excessive hand washing, but that's only the surface of this potential thing.

That was interesting. I like knowing that I'm okay.
