I suffer from anxiety, mainly focusing on my health. I've been told many times I'm perfectly healthy.

While I'm aware there's a possible genetic factor (sufferers in my family in every generation going back to my great-grandparents, can't comment on beyond that), I often wonder if having an underdeveloped Si aggravates it.
 
I wouldn't label myself with any kind of personality disorder, just certain characteristics. I have noticed myself becoming more narcissistic, but learning to hide it better. As in I've learned that I get more out of people if I use self-praise strategically, as opposed to bragging all the time.

I've also noticed my empathy becoming less, as well as my feeling of guilt/remorse. I don't know if this is how I was naturally supposed to develop, or if it's because I chose to desensitize myself to certain things. I noticed at around age 20 that the majority of things people feel guilty about there really isn't any reason for them to feel guilty. But if you ask my parents they'll say I've been like this my entire life (selfish, arrogant)
 
I've suffered from depression for a good 12 years of my life. Taking meds for 6 months did the trick for me. It was like my brain had crashed and the anti-depressants rebooted it. I've been off the meds for 7 months and I still feel good.

But I'll have to agree that depression is the big one around here. I've seen more threads about it in the years I've been on this site when compared to other disorders.
 
Also possibly Antisocial Personality Disorder (aka being a sociopath).
I sometimes question whether I'm a sociopath or not (I generally don't feel anything which usually has everyone around me in tears). Apart from that I can't think of any which haven't already been listed.

Antisocial Personality Disorder isn't the same of sociopathy, nor I ever have seen any author corraborating this view.

Being antisocial in some sense is common if not a requirement for ENTPs.
 
ASPD as the top one according to Celebritytypes.

And then histrionic, and hypomaniac. What that means as a ''personality disorder'', l'm not sure. l didn't think there was a hypomaniac PD, BP 11 mayhaps?

ln truth, l'd like to see the evidence for ASPD .l think many ENTPs would like to believe they have these leanings, l don't think it's impossible but l think it's been observed in ESTPs at much higher rates.

They list ENFJ with the highest tendency toward NPD:kitteh:
