We speak of personality disorder when someone is not functioning well in a certain culture or society because of his personality. This is not a very strict thing as someone could qualify for the symptoms of a disorder but still functions properly in society. Everybody has a personality and everybody has some personality traits that are in some way similar to someone with a personality disorder. When you have a disorder like the borderline personality disorder, you have the traits of a normal person but they are not functioning well. Everybody want attention, but when you claim attention by manipulating people or faking medical issues there is a big chance something is not wright.
It is very hard to diagnose a personality disorder as there could be wrong something else. You have to be very careful before you diagnose someone with a personality disorder because he will have it for life.
