Speeding is not a personality disorder, but by speeding you are assuming an increased risk, and a doing so recklessly can be a symptom.
Today I went to a book release party which was lovely and anxiety inducing. It was the sort of event which reminded me of my weird position wrt class. There was live jazz and a lovely spread of expensive snacks: meats and cheeses mostly but not the cheap ones. There was wine and mingling professionals, and I felt a bit awkward being unemployed.
This was all the more awkward because the event was partially hosted by the company I interviewed with but am still waiting to hear about. At one point I was in a circle with the two owners of that company, who both interviewed me, and a stranger who asked me where I work, and I said " I'm unaffiliated at the moment " but felt weird about it. I recently decided that networking is just business flirting, and this was the equivalent of having had a second date with someone where you make out, and you both express interest in a third date, but then a month for by and you see each other at a friend's party and you both pretend there is nothing going on, and then someone asks "are you seeing anyone?" And it's more awkward.
At the end the one guy did a sorry we didn't get to talk, we should sometime thing, and my god it's just like sex flirting, only I'm bad at this because I'm invested and self contious and unsure of the protocols.

For someone who just dissected the situation perfectly, I think you have a firm grip on the protocols. It really is just like flirting - the lines are drawn by the other party, and the only way to find them is to trip over them. Advance with caution... the stakes are higher for you than for them, but you knew that, or you wouldn't be feeling unsure about it.
I wish I could be more help, but I'm a klutz at both kinds of flirting anyway.

I had my opticians appointment, and I'm getting glasses with a prism in them to correct what seems likely to be a binocular issue, but they're sending me to the hospital for more thorough checks just in case it's something more serious. I was impressed by the branch manager, she was efficient whilst being friendly and very helpful when I had to choose frames. I've ended up with some brown squareish half frames, and some reddish full frames. I preferred the brown ones, but both the women working in the shop preferred the red, so I got both since the second pair was half price anyway and I'm good at breaking things.

Fastest I've ever driven was 115mph and that was on I5 on my way to Coachella last year. We made it there from Livermore in less than 6 hours. We left at 10pm and never saw a single cop til we hit the Grapevine heading into Los Angeles. I'll never forget that drive.

With me, stability has always been the issue with my cars. I've gone over 100 mph a few times, but the speedos on most of my cars purchased over the last 25 years didn't go much higher.
