Are PD’s a curse?

[Inagony]

in personality disorders that include lack of empathy & love, that have been present since childhood, it would seem these people were predestined for hell.
For example: Narcissism

Opinions please

No, although they may certainly seem like it. Kindness and compassion can be learned; it is a choice people make. It's easier for some than others.

I’m kind to everyone. But I function out of my head, not my heart.

As long as you function in kindness - that is one definition of love.

There are plenty of people who are malicious in their heart and head who love their families and friends deeply - but Christ asked what credit was it to be good to your friends when everyone does that.

There is debate as to whether personality disorders are genetic, or caused by environment. From all the reading i have done (and it is a ton), most mental health professionals believe a large part of the cause, is the environment one grew up in and how this shapes ones perceptions and develops certain survival mechanisms.

Yes I was an over indulged child, I’m just now realizing my problems. It’s kind Of like I was two people, very self conscious yet very independent. Just crazy. In such turmoil.

Whatever happened in your childhood was out of your control thus not your fault.

However, if God leads you to healing as an adult (like bringing a Christian counselor into your life), and you refuse it, then that would no longer be your family's responsibility.
