    No, you say nervous, negative outlook on life, anger issues and depressed.

    You sound like you have underlying issues like the passive-aggressive personality.

    Multiple personality no. Need more specifics like why are you feeling this way you

    sound insecure. And how can people say this anyway. If this is how you are i recommend you

    go and see a therapist or psychiatrist who can help you with these issues. If there is underlying

    issues such as substance abuse. The passive-aggressive personality mood is usually depressed

    and negative and people like this are very insecure, they are unable to accept responsibility for their behaviors. Need more information like when aggressive are you under the influence of alcohol.

    Did something happen in your life to make you feel this, but by any means no one has a right to diagnose mental health if they are not qualified to do so. Ouch i would worry if my friends viewed me like that. Maybe talking to someone could not harm you.

    No you do not have Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD is your brain not being able to decide who you are because of the drama and stress from pass life dramas. Your brain can not identify its self so it creates other personalities. Most likely if you had MPD you would black out and be unable to control your actions as your other personalities come out. For example you can be Jonathan and like anime, video games. metal, and love smoking weed, but Jonathan can just disappear and become Daniel who is an alcoholic, insanely/sociopathicly violent, likes rap, and is apart of a gang, but Jonathan doesn't know this because he isn't there any more (he's blacked out).

    do you even know what multiple personality disorder is? just because you behave differently around different people does not mean you have multiple personalities. negativity, guilt, and depression sounds a whole lot like a mood disorder to me.

    That is a rare condition, and diagnosed by psychiatrists, not by you, your friends, your family, etc. Primary care physicians may suspect the condition, but will not diagnose it and will instead refer the person to a psychiatrist.

    Keep reminding yourself who you are. Write it anywhere you can. You KNOW who you are. You don't need someone else to tell you that. Think of yourself, hobbies, things you like to do, your friends, etc.

    Keeping a journal may help, you really should see a psychologist...

    Some people may experience blackouts...

    You know because that disorder doesn't exist.
