"There is a land..."

"There is a land, called Passive-Aggressivah, and you are their Queen..." -Derek Shepherd to Addison, Grey's Anatomy

Psych, I feel, is pure SPECULATIVE thought. Short of outright dissing it, I'm not sure if i'm willing to consider it a legitimate branch of medicine. Its just way too full of loopholes... diagnosing patients seem part guesswork and data manipulation, etc. *sigh* Do we really need to study this? (if I became a psych doc after all this pessimism, ewan!)

I was listening to the personality disorders audio rec, and the descriptions can fit just about everybody i know. I could narrow people down to a few categories but everyone has a personality disorder.

*BTW, sabi ni berns, when this was being lectured, she overheared Albert and Oliver looking for me (hehe, nag-cut ako). according to them, I fit the profile of a schizo. bwiset kayo.*

Anyhoo, the topic was intriguing so i actually read up about it in Kaplan. No, I am not a schizo... turns out, I fit the profile of passive-aggressive, under Personality Disorder NOS.

accdg to Kaplan,
"... people with passive aggressive personality disorder are characterized by covert obstructionism, procrastination, stubborness, and inefficiency. They characteristically procrastinate, resist demands for adequate performance, find excuse for delays, find fault with those on whom they depend; yet refuse to extricate themselves from the dependent relationships. They are not direct with their own needs; they fail to ask needed questions about what is expected of them, and may become anxious when forced to succeed (?!?) or when their usual defense of turning anger against themselves is removed. Because they are bound to their resentment more closely than to their satisfaction, they may never even formulate goals for finding enjoyment in life. Persons with the disorder lack self confidence and are typically pessimistic about the future..."

hahahahahahaha....

oh well, i'm DOOMED.
