lol@ are you kidding
No, you cannot diagnose your own personality disorder... even if you have qualifications to diagnose psychological/psychiatric disorders you won't be able to diagnose yourself.
We can understand our personality traits tho.

What is a personality disorder?
A 'person' is a state of amnesic disorder.
It's like "What is wrong with my mask"?
Well, it's the mask that you're wearing. That's the problem.
As we go through childhood to adulthood, we may experience challenging catalysts. Some are severe enough to disrupt the normal developmental process of the person. The child may begin to think of self & the world in certain ways- experience begins to shape certain templates on how the person is & the world 'should be' and that's where these 'dysfunctions' begin. The relationship between self & others is also a major part of the template. Often times these relational templates are also very challenging in that they tend to create friction and conflict between person & others.
Yeah, so this happens with everyone. The difference between those who have diagnosable personality disorders and who don't is the level of distress and disability one experiences in one's life. Some don't need diagnoses so they may not subscribe to the whole notion of 'personality disorders' and some need that label for one reason or another.
