Paranoid
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a
distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people
around you have sinister motives. People with this
disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own
knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close
relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings
in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions
of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of
friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant
to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to
carry long grudges.

Schizoid
People with schizoid personality disorder avoid
relationships and do not show much emotion. They genuinely
prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for
popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little
social contact. Their social skills are often weak and
they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They
are perceived as humorless and distant and often are
termed "loners."

Schizotypal
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder
represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is
characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and
individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from
others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory
ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some
important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior
and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of
time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult
to follow.

Antisocial
A common misconception is that antisocial personality
disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The
opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial
personality disorder is characterized by a lack of
conscience. People with this disorder are prone to
criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak
and deserving of being taken advantage of. They tend to
lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and
take action without thinking about consequences. They are
often agressive and are much more concerned with their own
needs than the needs of others.

Borderline
Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood
instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder
are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger.
Often, they will take their anger out on themselves,
causing themselves injury. Suicidal threats and actions
are not uncommon. They think in very black and white terms
and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships.
They are quick to anger when their expectations are not
met.

Histrionic
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 or exaggerate illnesses in order
to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate
friendships and relationships, believing that everyone
loves them. They are often manipulative.

Narcissistic
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-
centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this
disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their
achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being
superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends,
since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being
their friend. They tend to make good first impressions,
yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting
relationships. They are generally uninterested in the
feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

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.

Dependent
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need
to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to
cling to people and fear losing them. They may become
suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let
others make important decisions for them and often jump
from relationship to relationship. They often remain in
abusive relationships. They are overly sensitive to
disapproval. They often feel helpless and depressed.

Obsessive-Compulsive
Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to
obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this
disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection.
Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with
their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the
details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably
high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be
very critical of others when they do not live up to these
high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing
others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid
making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are
rarely generous with their time or money. They often have
difficulty expressing emotion.
