I think the whole idea of "personality disorder" seems so horrid when it's first brought up. I used to argue with my therapist "You are saying that my personality is disordered!! Not that I suffer from this or that disorder, but that there is something wrong with my personality!!"
I understand a bit more now what he meant, but even now, it's a sensitive topic. It's just a bit different in tone, and I wish they'd do away with "personality disorders" as a diagnostic category. I understand how upsetting it can be.
