Take the Personality Disorder Test
Results to be taken with a heaped pinch of salt. It is correct in that I'm rather Avoidant:
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. They are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidant people yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence.
But that just translates to 'shy', surely? (To greater or lesser extent, anyway.)

Hmmmm... well, I am Forewarned. 8^P 8^)
"People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively..."
Mmmm...
Sorry, got distracted. Where was I?
