How could I go about obtaining a personality disorder. All of my friends have one, and I want one too.

Well, the easiest way to get one is to suffer from child abuse. You sound like you could be young enough so its not too late for you to start.
You can go about it like I did, get some family member to sexually abuse you for years and your mother to physically abuse you.
Or if that is not possible, you can get into an abusive marriage where the other person beats you and screams at you everyday. go about it like that and you should of devolped a first rate personality disorder and some real healthy phobias.
Or you can get yourself a nice little drug addiction going, they have the tendancy to scramble someones brain enough that it doesn't ever work correctly again.
Then again, since you have asked this question, it sounds like you might already have some problems. You might rather ask "How do I devolp compassion for people".
All my life I have had to fight to have some kind of good life. Its hard. The things that have made me the way I am almost made sure that I would not have any kind of life. As it is I can't work in my chosen profession and even simple things like going to the store is extremely hard to do. Most days I still don't want to get out of bed but I make myself. My life isn't "normal" now, nor will it ever be.
I am very sorry that you think this is a joke. I am also very sorry for your friends, cause if one of them does have problems you do not seem capible of giving them the understanding that a friend deserves.
I hope that someday you find it in yourself too see what some people have lived thru, and to have compassion for them.
I am glad that you do not know the kind of abuse that causes major problems. I hope that you don't ever know that kind of pain. I wouldn't wish this life on my worst enemy (other than the perverts who made my life a nightmare that is).
