You have nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Now this is my personal opinion but I think in the last 15-20 years (maybe longer) certain behavioral traits have become “diagnosable” while previously they were considered “normal”.
I’m what they call a “door-slammer” or “slam-clicker” in the industry.
I rarely hang out with fellow crew members when on the road. Door slam- dead bolt click
Doesn’t mean I’m anti social or have autism or Aspergers. I just like to pick and choose who I hang out with in my spare time.
I may want to go to a museum rather then a bar. I like eating local food.
However these personal preferences could be diagnosed as part of some “affliction”.
Some crew members chat your ear off and some prefer to work in silence.
Some share personal information, some overshare. Some never talk about their family.
