Answers:
I think you're fine!. In order for you to have a personality disorder, you must meet a NUMBER of criteria, and you have described only partially meeting one!. If it is not disrupting your life significantly, you do not have a personality disorder!. If your frequent prayer is a concern to you, talk to a counselor or pastor at school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think its possible!. When u think about it, the person who prays and repent of their sins daily & loves to share their faith with others, is the same person that say and do regretful things before they go pray about it!. I can see how it can become a "compulsive" habit, which can lead to a variety of personality problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
