No one:
Me, trying to fall asleep yesterday: "Yeah, so, if 'actually autistic' and 'honestly histrionic' exist, then other tags with alliterations for other conditions/disorders should exist, too!"
So now I present to you, the alliteration PD buddies™:
apparently anti-social
(The 'apparently' is like the sarcastic response to 'so, you are anti-social?')
palpably paranoid
('palpably' means 'obviously', so it's like, duh)
obviously obsessive-compulsive
(Like, duh)
decidedly dependant
('decidedly' shares a root with 'decision', but a DPD criterion is difficulty with decision-making, and it also seems like 'yep, I am')
basically borderline
(The 'basically' is the flat response to 'so you are borderline?')
naturally narcissistic
(Like, of course I am amazing and perfect)
seriously schizoid
(Like, I am schizoid, I am being serious.)
seemingly schizotypal
('seemingly' means 'obviously', so it's like yeah, of course)
absolutely avoidant
(Like a response to "so, are you avoidant?")
honestly histrionic
(You guys came up with that, and I love it)
If there are any issues (if I have triggered someone, if I was offensive, or if there already existed alliterative forms of 'actually []') or someone has a better idea for the alliteration PD buddies™, please let me know.

I feel like a lot of the personality disorder criteria in the DSM-5 focuses on the outward appearance of the disorder rather than what the person with the disorder is actually feeling. Npd and aspd are what I’m thinking of as examples right now, so let’s go over those first. People with any sort of personality disorder, feel free to chime in and add any thoughts you may have on how the DSM-5 represents your disorder.
Npd’s symptoms in the DSM-5 are listed as:
A persistent pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy
An exaggerated, unfounded sense of their own importance and talents (grandiosity)
Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited achievements, influence, power, intelligence, beauty, or perfect love
Belief that they are special and unique and should associate only with people of the highest caliber
A need to be unconditionally admired
A sense of entitlement
Exploitation of others to achieve their own goals
A lack of empathy
Envy of others and a belief that others envy them
Arrogance and haughtiness
The focus is on how other people might see someone with the disorder rather than what someone with the disorder might feel. As someone with npd, the main symptom of the disorder is lack of self-esteem. Someone with npd very well might experience or do these things BECAUSE of a lack of self-esteem, but I feel like the lack of self-esteem isn’t focused on enough for how much it impacts everything else. Honestly I’d go as far as to say it’s the very root of the disorder (y’know, besides trauma. But the low self-esteem is caused by trauma so, you get what I mean).
Now, I don’t personally have aspd myself, but from what I’ve heard from people with the disorder (people with aspd feel free to chime in), anhedonia is pretty much the biggest symptom? But if you look at the criteria it’s…
A persistent disregard for the rights of others
Disregarding the law, indicated by repeatedly committing acts that are grounds for arrest
Being deceitful, indicated by lying repeatedly, using aliases, or conning others for personal gain or pleasure
Acting impulsively or not planning ahead
Being easily provoked or aggressive, indicated by constantly getting into physical fights or assaulting others
Recklessly disregarding their safety or the safety of others
Consistently acting irresponsibly, indicated by quitting a job with no plans for another one or not paying bills
Not feeling remorse, indicated by indifference to or rationalization of hurting or mistreating others
And again, it’s not like people with aspd CAN’T experience or do these things BECAUSE of their anhedonia, but I really feel like that should be emphasized. Anhedonia isn’t even LISTED as a symptom. But when I listen to people with aspd talk about their experiences, the most commonly talked about symptom is generally feeling extreme boredom constantly, aka anhedonia. Again, people with aspd feel free to correct me and or add any thoughts you may have.
Looking at the criteria now, I see the same sort of issue with stpd (though I see this issue to an extent in the criteria for every personality disorder). I don’t have stpd myself so if you do, feel free to correct me or add anything, but I swear to god if I have to see the word “odd” or “eccentric” or “peculiar” one more fucking time. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!!! The definition of those words is going to be different from person to person. It literally feels like they’re saying “I have diagnosed you with ABNORMAL disorder.” Like…please be more specific, I’m begging. What do you mean by ODD? What classifies “odd” behavior?
Anyways, that’s my little rant. I just wanted to see what other pd havers thought about it???

having a personality disorder is not what makes someone abusive or neglectful. your abuser having a personality disorder is correlation, not causation. condemning all people who have the same pd is sanist, ableist and stigmatizing. it doesn't change what happened to you (and even if it did, making someone suffer as proxy in revenge for the actions of another person is wrong) all it does is make you feel superior to people who are also struggling and are high risk for negative outcomes.

gang, am i onto something?
[Note: the definitions are simplified, I wouldn't be able to fit the full criteria into each circle and that's not the full point anyway-- the point is to show key differences and similarities. I am not a professional and my observations may be incorrect.]

Anyone with personality disorders willing to share difficulties in relationships/intimate connections?? Asks, comments, rbs??
-Cluster b (borderline) trying to get to know more about the other clusters and PDs because you never really understand until you talk w em I find.
For me personally the main trigger is just fear of abandonment and emotional permanency. Which literally categorizes bpd but idk if other clusters are as interpersonally defined and recognizable as b???
You're all valid! This is a safe space correct me if I said anything wrong.

list of symptoms for personality disorders (many disorders in general) are the absolute worst because, since PDs are so stigmatized, they're almost always like
signs you have x personality disorder😊 :
you are satan himself
you have killed 23 people
god doesn't love you

The dilemma of wanting to bitch and moan to someone, but you know it can make the crash 10 times worse if they don't act perfectly like you want them to.

i'm just trying to think about what the fuck about me is so unlovable that some of my best friends decided it straight up wasn't worth it to try to save our friendship. is it because of all of the shit that i was already working on? is there something else i need to do? what the fuck do i need to do to stop being so fucking easy for people to abandon? what the fuck is wrong with me, why the fuck does this keep happening? i was trying my hardest and putting everything into this and somehow that still wasn't enough. am i just never going to be enough of a whole person for people to like me? why the fuck do i ruin fucking everything? i swear to god i'm cursed. or maybe i'm just too fucking mentally ill for everyone i fucking meet. i still hate how it always felt like it was okay for them to have issues and how even if they upset me "oh they have their own issues to work through so you know! it happens!" but when i have a fucking problem? "you need to do better and stop doing this and start doing that and listen to what i'm telling you to do and you'll just be better and i'll stop getting upset with you!" fuck this shit. how the fuck am i supposed to think i'm anything better than disposable when everyone who i love eventually decides i'm impossible to love and just fucking vanishes instead of even thinking i'm worth the time to speak to.
