Thanks once again for sharing!
I have studied attachment, but the focus was on healthy - we didn't really do any clinical on it. I did the checklist for attachment disorder, and found that I have experienced some of the symptoms - although most have lightened quite severely since I started taking these things to Christ. I'd class myself as having a mild case of perhaps half of them, with some moderates.
I most definately went through a rebellious hyperactive phase, and I was very much into self-destructive and self-depreciative behaviour. That is changing rapidly at the moment, hooray! I never did think to lash out or be cruel to anybody else, just never seemed to occur. Actually, my relationships in Brisbane are excellent; I have my moments of doubting that anybody cares, but nobody's ever had a problem dealing with that (they just find it impossible to believe somebody so 'cool' thinks of himself that way. Others' words, not mine! Though they make me smile.
)
I love that they nominate morbidity as a 'symptom'. In my demographic it's perfectly normal and socially encouraged behaviour! Comedic violence, or blatantly fictional gruesomeness is ever so fun. Exploding hippoes and the like. Anything approaching reality I do not see the appeal of, however...
Likewise, being an incessant chatterer and the master of nonsensical tangents has been a defining characteristic my entire life. Though they class that as a 'symptom' of certain disorders, I do *not* intend to see it as a bad thing! Forunately, I have friends that can match me, and we enjoy it muchly.
