Before I start let me just say I tend to analyze people and I forget that I shouldn't try to analyze myself. So please don't tell me I shouldn't self diagnose I know I shouldn't.
I feel like I have many traits of each cluster b personality but I would never say that I am a specific one. I've always felt I was and am different from other people. I know I'm better then other people but I also know there are some people better then me. The majority of the time I'm very confident some people call me vain and self center. I may be a little selfish but I wouldn't say I'm self centered and vain. I love to be the center of attention. It bothers me when I'm not be paid attention to. I'm very sensitive about myself. I don't take rejection well. When Im rejected I feel like there is something wrong with the person rejecting me. I get very upset when I'm rejected. I'm hypersexual and very impulsive. I don't like the past or future I prefer the now. I go through periods of emptiness. I feel empty at least once a day I hate it. Actually I've had an overall empty feeling this past week. When I feel empty i pretend I am not. I use to self inflicted pain to try and make myself feel something other than emptiness. I am a very sympathetic person, I pitty many people. But I lack empathy. I have rarley felt empathy and when I have it was usually for my mother. I almost feel bad that I don't feel empathy. Because I know most people feel empathy I pretended to be empathic for others. I see no harm in emotionaly hurting other people for my own benefit. I have no problem admiting that I act out to get what I want. I'm not a violent person but I do have fantasize of hurting others but that's something that concerns me and I'm not sure if I would act on or not depending on the situation and people. My boyfriend thinks I'm histrionic he thinks I have every symptom. But I disagree because I don't ever start drama anymore I just like attention. I wouldn't always go out of my way for attention but I do get upset without it. My mom and even some of my friends have told me I'm narcissistic probably because I'm "overly" confident. I have two friends who are both diagnosed with aspd (neither believe they are antisocial) one of them thinks I'm a narcissist the other thinks like him. ( I'm very drawn to those two.) Do I sound like I have traits of any personalities in cluster B, if yes which ones does it seem I have. Or to go further in general do I sound like I may have a personality disorder? I could just be overthinking I do that but I still feel like I'm not "normal".

None of us here can give you a diagnosis. It would be a good idea to make a doctor's appt and explain what you are feeling and thinking. A proper diagnosis can get you treatment and medication to help you feel better.

I'm not a professional so take this post with a grain of salt. I am expressing my opinion as a peer only. This post is not medical advice.
Okay now that the disclaimer is out of the way here's my actual response: From what you've described, it does sound like you may have a personality disorder in the cluster B category. Your case is atypical as you have traits of all four of those personality disorders but it seems to be that the histrionic traits appear to be the most prominent. Not all histrionics are the same, there's actually subtypes of HPD and one of them is with antisocial features(I forgot what it's called). You don't sound all that narcissistic or borderline to me. You may have more than one personality disorder as well, that's something else to consider. I have two myself, NPD and ASPD. That's just my opinion, like I said I'm not a professional. I hope you can get professionally assessed if a diagnosis is something you want. You can also send me a private message sometime if you want to talk about this in a more private setting. Good luck. |
