Sometimes it is difficult to wrap our minds around having a disorder of some sort. But the fact of the matter is, we have all (the majority at least) had a disorder at one time or another in our lives.
The classification system that is in the DSM IV (that is the big book of disorders), is a reference of certain patterns of behavior. And because we are all human, we follow the same certain patterns of behavior, thus called a disorder, when the behaviors become a problem for you.
So it does not mean that you have some sort of thing that can be used to label you as different, although it feels that way.
All it means is that you are human and other humans behave the same way and it can be fixed. Behave changes to the word symptom when the behavior is getting in the way of other areas of your life.
