Ok your saying that anything can be considered a personality disorder? I hope thats not what your saying. As that would mean that the whole point is to have a way of labeling people if need be. I dont think this type of psycho analysis should even be considered nor practiced as something that should be a usable model for diagnosing personality disorders. I think that believing you can classify personalities into what your saying are disorders is a disconnection with reality that goes far beyond the thing in which you are diagnosing. Who developed these definitions as being disorderly and who were they to decide? I think the fact that you said in the beginning that personality isnt defined well enough to be disordered makes this sound like experimentation for the hopes of being right rather then being a useful model for helping someone who has problems I thinkg a lot of scientists and doctors need to stop living in the realms of absoloutes and actually step into the real world cause its multi faceted and colorful and anything but grey, and believing there should be a structure seems to me to be a disorder in and of itself. I think its dangerous for people to say they know we dont know we can speculate things but we can never truly know them, we can observe experiments tests and record outcomes but those are just one of innumerable amounts of outcomes in which we dont have the conditions to test, and fooloing yourself into satisfaction that youve solved a problem when you dont even understand what the true problem is; is a desperate cry for things to be the way we want them and no other way. Megalomania is just as mentally disturbed as any other mental disorder, that is what this type of model looks like to me someone who has decided they are going to define something undefineable. I am not in love with the idea of organized government but i do believe people do need to have boundaries and rules and agree on them, but the second we start telling people they are sick for being a certain way or having a certain personality… we start to destroy the ability for people to think for themselves no worse we destroy the want to be individual cause we are telling them that means they are sick. I hope you don’t want that cause to me that sounds about as deranged and mentally unsound then any of the disorders described above.
