In reply to Here's some info I found, posted by TexasChic on October 15, 2005, at 8:10:35

Individuals with personality disorders have many things in common:

'Self-centeredness'
that manifests itself through a me-first, self-preoccupied attitude

'Lack of individual accountability'
that results in a victim mentality and blaming others, society and the universe for their problems

'Lack of perspective-taking and empathy'

'Manipulative and exploitative behavior'

'Unhappiness'
suffering from depression and other mood and anxiety disorders

'Vulnerability to other mental disorders'
such as obsessive-compulsive tendencies and panic attacks

'Distorted or superficial understanding of self and others' perceptions',
being unable to see his or her objectionable, unacceptable, disagreeable, or self-destructive behaviors or the issues that may have contributed to the personality disorder

'Socially maladaptive'
changing the rules of the game, introducing new variables, or otherwise influencing the external world to conform to their own needs

'No hallucinations, delusions or thought disorders' (except for the brief psychotic episodes of Borderline Personality Disorder)

I hope that helps. I found research to be very helpful in dealing with certain people in my life.
