Is it normal to have an obsession with labelling myself?

I hate labels. I never cared to label or catagorize myself. I'm a weirdo and that's that. So I guess that would be my label then. Damn it! Fuckin society

OMG I DO THE EXACT SAME THING I actually do have aspergers syndrome though.

I'm aware I posted this about 2 years ago - and oh my god, I am cringing at it considerably. However, it turns out I was right about my having an ASD, as I was diagnosed with Asperger's a month ago. Apparently, the obsessional researching/wanting to label things (such as this) was part of it. Who knew?! :P

You mean categorize? I kind of thought you got a hold of the label maker. I started playing with the label maker and labeled everything in my house. I do these kind of things when I am bored.

Your just trying to figure yourself out. i used to do the same thing. Now I'm trying to move away from labels and become my own person. Which isn't as easy as I was hoping. it takes a lot of not giving a rats bum what others think of you.

well i have to do this to describe myself to poeple i first met sometime, and it always hard for me, cause i tend to subconsciously and consciously try to braek those labels. i sometime feel like im partly a scizo, but it the same person, just with diffrent tendencies at diffrent time.

For example: growing up i was extremely shy around new people, but somewhere in my teens i learned how to "turn off" my shyness, i mean i was even voted most outgoing in high school, but i still have times where i have a sudden shyness are people, of just feel reclusive and withdrawn, and then 5 min later i feel a need to just walk over and flirt with the pretty girl at the counter like i know her. it make no sense to me. and it not my only example.

Oh and btw im about 272 months myself =D

Howard tha phone iz ringing!!!!!

I can understand that it gives you a solid idea of who you are so you have somewhere to root from don't want to get lost! Not a bad thing I say

This site was riddled with every so-called psychological condition known to man for some time. So much so it was as boring as f**k until we got rid of it. Now we agree that everyone's just different (like socks) and individuals.

I'm sure your doctor has heard it all before and I think you are just trying to find yourself as you mature.

Apparently, there's a scale for autism which we all fit onto at some point. Autism is an actual brain problem, with damage to the left hand side of the brain. Perhaps by being slapped around the head, by a right handed mother, to shut the hell up ;o)

Lots of people who want to feel special convince themselves that they have autism. Unless you actually get diagnosed with it, please don't label yourself as such. Same with OCD.

Yea it is normal. Most people have a need to know where they belong, and for many categorising is just part of that.
