Imma correct this before it gets out of hand (PLEASE READ)
The other post that person made wasn’t meant to be harmful & it was seemingly an honest mistake.
But y’all do not have personality disorders unless you get diagnosed with one. You aren’t narcissists, obsessive compulsive, borderline, sociopaths, or any other personality disorders unless you get diagnosed.
You don’t have a personality disorder because you are “eccentric” or have “a hard time trusting people”. That is NORMAL.
Tw: s/h, dr/gs, dependency, death.
A personality disorder is extreme. A personality disorder is c/rving someone’s name in your skin because they didn’t text you back within an hour. A personality disorder is feeling s/icidal bc someone’s said “i love you” in a slightly higher voice and thinking that must mean they hate you. A personality disorder is feeling nothing when your sister dies. A personality disorder is doing hard dr/gs because you are dissociating so much; you think you don’t exist and dr/gs will make you feel alive.
(Symptoms of some personality disorder)
It’s extreme, okay. You don’t have a personality disorder. It’s seriously harmful to have people with no understanding of the disorders going around saying they have them.
(And if anyone thinks I don’t know what I’m talking about; I’m diagnosed with a personality disorder. Borderline personality disorder)
The person who made the other post wasn’t trying to harm anyone so don’t take this as an attack on them. It was just a honest mistake that anyone could make. - OP
If you want to learn more about the actual symptoms of personality disorders, you can look up each disorders DSM diagnostic criteria. Just don’t diagnose yourself.
