people who have PD's experience these disorders as reality, so for the person it may be hard to distinguish. kind of like how you're unable to see your narc tunnel vision which filters all your information into being focused too much on your own perspective.
"Also, didn't ME say "obsession when infatuated" was a sociopath trait?"
Is M.E. a trustworthy resource, really?
"There are bad psychiatrists and therapists."
They can only work with what they're given. Sometimes they stink at their jobs, but sometimes it's the patient that leads them onto the wrong tracks.
Speaking from experience... 
"I totally would not enjoy being murdered! :)"
Why? What sort of afterlife do you imagine yourself heading toward (if any)?

I admit that I'm narcissistic. All the time. Everyone (apart from you) who is reading this right now is probably pissed off that I've mentioned it again.

We understand. We know you're so selfabsorbed that you can't help but talk about yourself and your narcissism. We forgive you. Or at least I do.
knowing that you're narcissistic doesn't necessarily mean you have the slightest idea what it really means to have a PD. to really understand this, you have to be willing and capable of doubting your own perception which in practice, is quite difficult. especially if your PD is characterised by thinking you know better than everyone and building your entire image on a foundation of exaggeration and delusion, in which one tiny crack can produce catastrophic results.

This is part of why I don't think I have a personality disorder. Or at least is evidence against. My thinking isn't rigid. Though it does seem different than many people I'm around, but not by any important degree. Nor anything bipolar couldn't also explain. I guess there'd be evidence both for and against it.
Though you're basically right about the way a pwPD would think.
by The BeavesMach, are you supposed to have a personality disorder?
Every therapist I ever get thinks I do, though none can prove it. That's why its deferred. I always fell back on the whole "cultural, situational, etc..." reasons why I am the way I am. Honestly, I don't think for sure that I do nor don't. I don't know.
this has nothing to do with the therapists. in order to even get to that point of seeing them you had to think there was something wrong with you, right? if you think there is nothing wrong with you then why are you even humoring the notion that there is by seeing these people? this is what i meant by supposed to have a personality disorder. this all started with you.
