i'm narcissistic, histrionic and borderline, oh and paranoid.
pretty much the worst personality ever by the looks of it. so to be fair i think i'm right to hate myself.
the worst thing is i am a genuinely nice person, with moral and i care deeply about others!

These tests don't have real meaning unless you take them several times, and I'd say only when you are stable...widget, you're having a hard time right now, and the tests are not going to be accurate. Labels never help anyone. Resist giving any to yourself.

I think the part where you said you care deeply about others means so much more than any or all the first four words you used to describe yourself combined.

This pretty much cancels out your first description, so it's null and void.

You're a good person no matter what the darn tests say, and THAT is ALL that really counts♥

Concentrate on the last part...the part where you're a good person. All the rest of that is just labels and they belong on cans and jars; not people. Although lables are sometimes helpful in treatment it sounds like you're just beating yourself up.

Yes, I'll just second what everyone else has said. BP is not an easy disorder to live with. We are strong to have come this far. Everything else from the personality test is probably a spin-off of your feelings during the current episode.
I really believe an accurate dx on personality disorders can only be made once a professional has really gotten to know you. An online test can NEVER be totally accurate; there are just too many facets that are omitted.

The tests don't mean much, honestly, if you take it a couple of times you will start to notice changes in the outcomes. It might be how you were feeling at the moment of the test, but it doesn't mean that's who you are as a person.

you're all right, i'm going through such a bad phase of despising myself, i think i may have exaggerated a little with the answers.
for instance, "do your friends think you're manipulative?"
well i'm not, they dont think i am, i just got called it by someone who barely knew me about 5 yrs ago!! so that was a strongly agree!
