ooh, i do love being a psychology student sometimes. i fulfil the diagnostic criteria for no less than three personality disorders!

( histrionic personality disorder )

( borderline personality disorder )

( narcissistic personality disorder )

so either i have some real problems and should get help, or "personality disorders" are just ways of medicalising extremes of personality so that they may be "treated". which is fair enough if someone is unhappy, i guess, but i happen to like my histrionic/narcissistic way of functioning. but if they're medicalising the extremes of personality bell-curves, who's to say they can't just keep pushing the boundaries in and in and in? how safe are we, the weird and wonderful ones whole deviations from the mean?

Boys in dresses, kissing other boys, looking like girls but simultaneously being married to girls. This confusing, glamorous time especially in London redefined what sexuality, gender and clothes really meant. </td> Glam Rock 100% Punk 63% Mods 56% Hippie 56% Rave / Dance 50% New Romantics / New Wave 50% Hip Hop 38% Rockabilly / Teddyboys 0% Which Past SubCulture fits you best? created with QuizFarm.com
