I understand that you are seeing me as a person who maybe is playing of doctor, diagnosing people.
In my country its not even recognized a condition of for example PTSD, effects of alcoholism on people who are living with alcoholics, codependency... People who read about it on internet, knows much more about these dynamics and characteristics than an old health care provider who wont bother about getting new knowledge in his field cause his salary is too small.
You don't have to trust me, but its just it.
Of course, without official recognition and diagnosing of it, there is a wide range possibility of slipping into wrong type of personalities, but one thing I'm sure, only reading about it feels like I got a new pair of eyes for dysfunctional patterns of behaviors and saved a lot of my time and nerves in everyday situations.
I apologize for posting here without strong evidence of dealing with diagnosed person in my surrounding, I am just guided by personality characteristics that strikes me as a fresh healthy air.
Thanks for your replies and if this post needs to move, I am absolutely for making an order.

You have every right to post here and to learn more about this condition for whatever reason. I'm sorry that the health system in your country isn't better...if it's any consolation, most health systems struggle when it comes to personality disorders as it usually takes a fair bit of time, and therefore money, to see whether a diagnosis can be applied.
All i would say is that personality disorders usually have a high diagnostic criteria and involve pervasive patterns of behaviour. All you can do is learn as much as you can and see whether any of the information you've gathered can be applied to resolving your difficulties.
You don't need to post elsewhere, but for the purpose of getting even more responses you could always post this thread in the relationships and communications board. I wish you all the best in learning more.
