. . . I call myself a_parody_of_you, for Christ's
sake.<br><br>Anyways, I've always kind of known that I've been majorly
passive-aggressive, but I've also always kind of lumped that term
into the generic household sense, rather than
considering it as possibly being the very lynchpin of my
ongoing neuroses. So, then, I actually put that term into
my Yahoo! personal profile, and then I think, maybe
there's something to that; I mean, maybe there's *really*
something to that.<br><br>So then I'm doing a web search,
and first of all, I'm trying to remember whether
passive-aggressive personality disorder is an actual DSM-IV
diagnosis, 'cause I've happened to crack that thing open
more than a few times over the past years, and I
manage to confirm that PAPD *is* in the DSM-IV, so then
I'm reading along, and I'm thinking, *oh my God*, if
only there had been a mental health care professional
in my retention that had been skilled enough at
diagnosing personality disorders to say, "This is what you
are; this is what you need to work on."<br><br>So,
anyways, life goes on. In some haphazard, half-assed way,
it does.<br><br>Chad
