I'm talking about a clinical definition of a "personality disorder".

> A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.[1]

What I personally think wasn't stated and is not relevant to my point.

First line at your link:

>Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people.

So tell me how SPD lacks a personality. A person without a personality would be indistinguishable from other people.

If you read the definition of SPD, it doesn't quite satisfy the definition of disorder, nothing there implies distress or problems. Deviations are expected alright, because people are different. Seems to not care? It's not an expectation of the culture that you're entitled to be relevant everywhere, you're relevant only where you earned it, and care about praise is deeply personal.
