Risk-taking

None for me. I'm super vanilla. I don't even like to gamble.

The reward rarely feels worth the risk for most things, so I'm not that big a risk taker. Have done some dangerous things like rock climbing without any equipment, and have driven on the comedown of LSD. But other than that most of what I do is pretty sane.

Just when everything looks fine I usually change my job or career... wait a minute, what career? Anyway, the reward of risk-taking for me is to break the walls of boredom every once in a while, renew my life, start all over again, leave behind the people I got to knew too well.

I have criminal record, this answer you?

That's just reckless .

Yup, living life on the edge right here. I really need to stop having nights like those, my jeans are starting to get a little tight around the waist...

To much "risk taking" for my part. At least in my younger days.

I have been a straight up cleptomanic, but what to do, when you are hooked drugs at the age of 15, to get your mind of things at "home". Needles to say, you have to eat and have clothes on your back, and fit in with the homies you hang out with.

But that was not the worst risk I have made. The worst risk was the people I have ended up with in my life. I seem to have atracted almost only psychpats, when I look back at it.
That may be the reason, why I dislike any human interaction, since I have soo many bad experiences with people.
It may be connected with my parents being psychopatic, that I have attracted those traids.
However, it has been a huge risk for me, to deal with these people, and the fact that I am free from a negative spiral, of crime, abuse, negledge, self sabotaging behaviour, addiction, etc. I have only my self to thank for.

I prefere my life without to many risks.

I was in a similar situation to Runestone, the people I attract are always unhealthy. I used to just live life, now I don't want to have any closed relationship/friendship.

To answer the question I don't believe I take any risk but I sure don't respect rules when I can. When I was in my teenager years it was an another story, though. I was first misdiagnosed because of that. To give you an idea, I was hanging out with criminals.

I like it here.

I guess I'm some type of avoidant schizoid, I've read that both PDs have some connection in some cases of SPD.
Most times when I think about doing something out of my "bubble" I have some thoughts of "why doing such effort? does it even worth it?" and I end up doing anything. I only make effort for things I'm really motivated to do, which are very few things.
