Temat: How neurotic are you?

Yeah, it's not a question of 'if' but 'how much'. Because that you're neurotic is a fact, we all know life sucks and all that. Besides, yesterday was the officially worst and most depressing day of the year, so the timing should be just right.

If you still need to find out how neurotic you are, here you'll find all guidance, tests, tips and hints on how to deal with your affliction.

If you're pretty sure that you're as neurotic as can be, why not share your neuroses with us?

For example, it may sound stupid, but I hate doing shoping in my local Tesco's, as I always have a feeling that someone might recognise me and stare at me (especially if this might be one of my students), which makes me really nervous and self-conscious. I tend to forget what I came for and basically ramble about aimlessly between rows. Adding 5x as much to the normal shopping time.

I also have a habit of going to bed late and feeling tired the next morning. Leaving for work late and missing my bus while catching my breath from frantic sprint to the bus stop.

I obsessively roll my socks and tap against the table. I have a favourite pen/pencil which if I forget, I cannot concentrate during the classes I run. It's a miracle I haven't lost it yet, because I also keep losing everything, especially various Very Important Documents.

Ok, that's it for now. So what's yours?Sylwia Łubkowska edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.01.09 o godzinie 00:03

Me too...
Sleeping is a wasting of time, in my opinion, life is too short...
But on the other hand - sleeping is one of the most important thing...I know...we must sleep to take a rest.

I know, I know.
Feeling tired the next day isn't fine, it's not good.
Last week I couldn't work because I was so tired that I didn't see the letters distinctly and I looked like a monster.I lied to my boss I was sick and I went home...Małgorzata Biłowicka edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.01.09 o godzinie 01:33

Am I a neurotic?

15 Behaviours of Neurotics

1. Neurotics place an unseemly emphasis on being on time. They will leave the house much earlier than is necessary (after being dressed and ready to go for up to three hours) in order to get to their destination. They then will drive around the block or just sit in the car, listening to the radio, until several other guests are seen to arrive and go inside.

No

2. Neurotics hate to ask directions. This is particularly true of males, who like to think of themselves as self-sufficient trailblazers even if they are just trying to get to a cocktail party across town.

Yes. I never ask. Give me the map, not the answer. But it has more to do with part of me being a guy than a neurotic :D

3. Neurotics daydream about winning the lottery, but they never play it.

No

4. Neurotics write contentious comments in the margins of books.

No

5. If there is one chance in a million of making a mistake, a neurotic will not call another person by name.

No

6. Neurotics have favorite coffee cups that they love beyond reason. Exceptional neurotics will go so far as to take these cups with them when they go out for breakfast.

No

7. Neurotics make a very big deal out of things like Peter and the Wolf and The Wizard of Oz.

No

8. Neurotics believe in bumper sticker wisdom. A car that is covered in bumper stickers has a driver behind the wheel whose mind is probably not on the road.

Definitely not

9. The record collection of neurotics are in alphabetical order. No unauthorized hand is allowed to touch these records. No unauthorized dust is allowed to collect on them.

Never

10. Neurotics tend to take up causes that involve whales, stray cats, and baby seals rather than human beings.

No

11. If a neurotic begins to think about walking while walking down the street (particularly with people watching), he or she will begin shambling and perhaps even lose balance and fall down. Likewise, neurotics are unable to breath properly if they begin thinking about breathing.

No

12. Neurotics hum or whistle at inappropriate times and places.

No

13. Neurotics are sure the phone will begin ringing as soon as they are out of earshot.

Yes

14. neurotics tend to see omens when others would not. For instance: If the next man who walks around the corner is wearing a hat, it will mean that I can afford to buy the green dress.

No

15. If neurotics have to get up particularly early in the morning they will set the alarm clock, check it again ten minutes later to make sure it is set, wake up in the middle of the night to check it again (and make sure the electricity hasn't gone off), and then wake up two minutes before the alarm was set to ring anyway.

No :-). I'll set the alarm clock (or not) and forget about it and then wake up after it rung about 4 times :D.

So I'm not neurotic, right? Right :-). I'll be back in 5 to see if anyone agrees. And then after the next 5 mins. And at 9, 9.05, 9.10... :D

...my home is my castle, too...
...my home is the best, the most peaceful place to me...

On the other hand, I must work, I must earn money, I must talk to the others, I must, I must, I must...

It's sometimes difficult, I'm a little too nervous person, although I'm a psychologist.

Maybe I'm too sensitive...

It's very important in my profession, but sometimes...you know...sometimes I need help, a talk with a friend, with my supervisor.

I can be calm, I can listen, but privately - I like to be just like a little girl.
From time to time.

I need somebody taking care for myself, it's natural, I suppose.

It's impossible to give and give...without the end...
We should TAKE also from somebody, sometimes.

Ha ha, Marta, that's 13x no out of 15... how I envy you! ;))

I forgot to add that I still listen to Placebo (sometimes), fall for all kinds of emos and have the classic dilemma of the kind: to phone him or not to phone him?

They then will drive around the block or just sit in the car, listening to the radio, until several other guests are seen to arrive and go inside.

Well, yes. I am always early. Always. Unless I have company who manages to make me stay at home until it really is time to go.

2. Neurotics hate to ask directions. This is particularly true of males, who like to think of themselves as self-sufficient trailblazers even if they are just trying to get to a cocktail party across town.

Right. This would be me. And I get lost in familiar places.

3. Neurotics daydream about winning the lottery, but they never play it.

No

4. Neurotics write contentious comments in the margins of books.

Umm, I do :)

5. If there is one chance in a million of making a mistake, a neurotic will not call another person by name.

Yes

6. Neurotics have favorite coffee cups that they love beyond reason. Exceptional neurotics will go so far as to take these cups with them when they go out for breakfast.

Nah.

9. The record collection of neurotics are in alphabetical order. No unauthorized hand is allowed to touch these records. No unauthorized dust is allowed to collect on them.

Records no. Bokks, well, yes.Not only alphabetized, but also categorized (English, French, history, American Presidents, Psychology, Children's...)

10. Neurotics tend to take up causes that involve whales, stray cats, and baby seals rather than human beings.

Fortunately not

11. If a neurotic begins to think about walking while walking down the street (particularly with people watching), he or she will begin shambling and perhaps even lose balance and fall down. Likewise, neurotics are unable to breath properly if they begin thinking about breathing.

Yeah

12. Neurotics hum or whistle at inappropriate times and places.

I do!

Sort of. I double check. Then double check again, just in case.

If I start counting how many times I answered "yes" I will lose count.

8 :D. Considering your alphabetized books a 'yes' :-).

Do you think it means you're neurotic?

Asking the way is natural for most women - they simply know when to ask for help when they need it.

Bumper stickers are not that popular in our country.

Sorry, but I can't seem to find any of those content that you posted into this thread from that link.
Could you please be so kind, and tell me how can I see what you see?
Do I have to struggle for 5 minutes to see what's supposed to be a neurotic behaviour style, what's the test, what's the fuss?

There are no bumper stickers on my car, but if there were they would say:

"I believe in freedom of peach for every fruitcake out there" (yes, even Rafal!) :D

or

"I always pay attention to tedails"

or

"Are you quethtioning my mathculinity?"

All original ideas, so if you need to make some money, feel free :)

Thank you Sylwia!
I thought there are more "items" in the list... just 15.

According to that list, I'm 0% neurotic.

I like order a lot, but can't keep it sometimes. I usually think I am obsessed with cleaning, cleanness etc, but maybe I'm not pathetically obsessed :)
Or the untidiness of women made me a more relaxed person perhaps.

Still, no one can pack better than me.ilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 22.01.09 o godzinie 17:18

Sylwia Łubkowska:
>> phone him or not to phone him?

Don't!! That's one of the very few things I know for sure and... I phone him anyway... That's why I've worked out my own consistency generator: I erase all his telephone numbers from all possible places (phone book, texts sent and received, phone calls registry, etc.) It helps a lot! Not for long though... After some time, I ruin my flat in a desperate search for old phone bills or call our mutual acquaintances with weird explanations of why I lost his number and why they should send it to me NOW!!

Am I neurotic? Nay.
