Does anyone-else here have it?

I've been diagnosed with some symptoms of it.

Theses people are said to resist the ordinary demands of life to a pathological degree using an abundance of tactics. They often have a Jekyll and Hyde type of personality with severe mood swings and can often exhibit severe behavioural difficulties.

I just read up about it. I guess I never exhibited that type of difficult behaviour. There was also an earlier thread about it here on WP.
PDA Syndrome
