Yes, and the difference is that personality disorders are lifelong disabilities just like being deaf or quadriplegic, while mental illnesses are curable maladies more like the common cold.
Being deaf is definitely not a personality disorder. If we can't agree on that then we can't go anywhere from here. Personality disorders aren't disabilities. You can't get any medical exemptions for being a narcissist or borderline
Narcissists seem to be hiding under the guise of that being a slur so they don't have to make the change to be better people
If someone says they're "brutally honest" that's just them being an asshole, but they won't admit they're an asshole because they don't want to have to face their terrible personality and fix it. Personality, not disability
Of course being deaf isn't a personality disorder. It's a disability, like a personality disorder is. Do you not know what the word "like" means? It highlights similarity between two concepts that are not the same.
