I spend 2 months in a ward, and was diagnosed with 2 comorbid PD's. Naturally friends and family were curious about results, so I ended up telling some of them.

What surprised me is that some of my friends seemed envious, and straight up wished they had a personality disorder too. Since my time in a ward my view on mental health changed a lot, and I saw how a sufficiently horrible environment can influence your personality and mental well being. Confused about the gap between the rather miserable reality of having a PD and the outside appeal of having one, I am asking you wise people.

What's the appeal of having a PD? Why do some people want one? Do you want one?
