I was surfed mental ish the yesterday and I found Wikipedia's article on Neuroticism. I never knew what the word "neurotic" really meant before... normally you just hear it used in the context of "crazy".

Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, envy, guilt, and depressed mood. They respond more poorly to stressors, are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are often self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. Neuroticism is a risk factor for the "internalizing" mental disorders such as phobia, depression, panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders, all of which are traditionally called neuroses.

That's exactly what I've been having problems with all my life. All these years, I thought I was mental. Apparently I'm just neurotic. Just.
