What's it like having a personality disorder?

Why the curiosity? Is this something that has been brought up in therapy, counseling?

@CKBlossom I’m only just curious. I just want to know how does someone live with those types of disorders.

@kiddj Can only speak for myself as each person may see their disorder differently. For me it was/is like viewing life through a camera lens. I see the world passing by, finding it so hard to participate. Am always expecting the worst outcomes, paranoia, pessimistic are my norms. Love working alone, but dread working in a team setting. Always feel inferior.
