Okay. After reading the comments, I think I understand. Mind you, as a person with Borderline Personality Disorder and Clinical Depression, I was pretty deeply offended when I first saw this. BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WORD THINGS.
You don't want a personality disorder. You want to be diagnosed. You feel like something isn't right and that a diagnosis would help you understand why you are this way. I know this feeling and it's very frustrating. That said, I wasn't diagnosed until it got so bad that I became suicidal and was forced to come to terms with the fact that some of my actions and tendencies could even almost be considered emotionally abusive toward my loved ones. Be thankful you haven't come to this.
You very well might have a personality disorder in its developing stages, but I suggest you keep an eye on your tendencies that suggest so and don't let them take over.
If its any consolation, I felt the same way pre-diagnosis, and took a lot of the same tests you did which all suggested I had Borderline. That said, I think if you focus on these things too much you can also aid the development of whatever disorder you think you have, so tread lightly.
I also think much of this misunderstanding came from me wording it poorly and not including enough information. I actually wrote much more, but it somehow got deleted.
What I really meant was that when I read about, let's say, NPD, I find myself in descriptions and I'm actually proud of it rather than trying to deny my symptoms and that sense of pride makes me act and think even more disorderly,if that's the word.It's not like I find a random PD and think "This must be an awesome thing to have. I wish I wasn't normal."
..well if you have no intention of acknowledging your supposed personality disorder as a bad thing then yeah that is weird and very disrespectful of people with them. If you find that your personality disorder is not affecting your relationships or daily life then I would say that you don't have one and you're just kind of arrogant. Sorry bud, seems you just want to feel special.
Is it normal that I want a personality disorder?
