So do you have an Awesome Personality Disorder?
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I totally made that up! But the fact is some people are just too cool and awesome and they just command respect and admiration. You can’t help but be in awe in their presence and feel inspired to be a better version of yourself. I believe such people have, what I like to call, an “Awesome Personality Disorder”.
But why a disorder? Well, some people are just way too awesome and they make it look so easy that you wonder if they are even human or a demi-god. They are so hardwired at being awesome at everything they do that you can’t help but feel inspired. They make you stop and admire them, boost your spirits and make you believe that it is possible to be extraordinary.
Some people are good. Some people are great. And then there are people with Awesome Personality Disorder! And you know they are effortlessly awesome when you see them!
But on a serious note, personality disorders are serious mental conditions that require medical attention, support and care. Mental health is not a topic to make fun of. Here, I am using the term “Personality Disorder” in a positive way to admire people with signs of awesome personality. I do not mean to downplay the serious effects of mental illnesses in any way.
Now that we got that cleared out, let’s look at what makes a person awesome.

9 Signs of Awesome Personality Disorder
The truth is anyone can seem to have an attractive personality. They need to say the right things, act cool, look stylish, and post smartly edited photos on social media. Although these people may seem awesome, they don’t really have Awesome Personality Disorders.
Looking awesome is easy! But being truly awesome is a whole different ball game.
Although I am not awesome by any means, I am inspired by some really awesome people who I know personally. But as they say, it takes an awesome person to know one. So here are some common traits of an awesome person to look for in yourself:
1. You love challenges
When faced with challenges, a person with an amazing personality feels motivated to overcome them instead of feeling crippled with fear and uncertainty. Although you may doubt yourself and feel afraid at times, you are courageous enough to overcome obstacles, whether internal or external, and taste success.
You imagine how success feels in your mind and feel it in the grasp of your hands before you actually succeed. In fact, science confirms that mental imagery and visualization – the act of vividly imagining doing something successfully – can help in improving our objective performance, attentional focus, confidence and awesomeness.
2. You care about others
Another common symptom of awesome personality disorder is caring about and helping others. You are equipped with a strong sense of compassion and empathy. Whether they are your loved ones or strangers, you are always keen on lending a helping hand to those in need without expecting any favors in return.
When you are too awesome, you also realize the simple fact that your behaviors and actions can have a strong impact on others. Hence, you are considerate in making decisions and acting accordingly so that it benefits not just yourself, but others around you as well.
3. You admit your mistakes
If you are willing to admit that you are wrong then you have an awesome personality. Awesome people are never too proud to accept that they are wrong. They are humble enough to apologize for their mistakes and are capable enough to fix their wrongs. Some awesome researchers have found that apologizing can not only encourage forgiveness but also improve relationships.
But awesome people don’t just apologize and fix their problems, they also analyze why they made the mistake and take it as a learning experience to improve their mental, emotional & interpersonal awareness.

4. You value relationships
One of the most crucial signs of awesome personality disorder is prioritizing relationships. People brimming with awesomeness realize how important relationships are for our happiness and success. Awesome people realize that healthy relationships build our confidence and self-esteem. So if you spend time with people you care about, respect them, communicate openly and refuse to take them for granted, then you have awesomeness to spare!
5. You are rebellious
Someone who is awesome often does things in their own way and tends to be indifferent towards authority at times in a healthy way. Your awesome personality traits make you rebellious without being disrespectful. You dare to question authority when you feel it is not the best way forward, but you also know how to respect and follow orders, when needed.
You defy the status quo and believe in exploring your own ideas, abilities, creativity and mental boundaries. Moreover, your rebellious nature makes you a “notorious risk taker”, which means not only you think outside the box, but you find novel solutions to problems that not-so-awesome people may avoid.
6. You are open to change
Most of us “normal” people resist change because we fear we may lose something we truly value. But people with awesome personality traits see change as an opportunity to explore the new and to improve themselves. If you have a positive approach towards change and are capable of adapting to change, then there is no doubt that you have awesome person traits. You don’t see change as a setback, but as an adventure that can lead to self-development.

7. You are not burdened with insecurities
You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone or compete with others to know or show your worth. What makes you awesome is that you are highly self-assured of your worth and refuse to play “games” with others to boost your or their ego. One of the crucial signs of awesome personality disorder is that you don’t feel jealous of others. You are well aware of your achievements and the sacrifices you’ve made to reach your goals. You don’t feel the need to tell others about how cool you are, you just let your awesomeness do all the talking.
8. You swim against the tide
One of the the most prominent signs of awesome personality disorder is having gumption. And this aggressive resourcefulness is what makes an awesome individual fight all odds to achieve what they set out to do. Studies show that “Highly resourceful individuals have been found better able to meet life’s challenges and to experience more positive health outcomes.”
Being awesome, you don’t pay any heed to naysayers and make no bones about going against the tide, especially when it comes to your values and goals. Your awesomeness keeps you going even when the situation looks bleak and empowers you to find your way towards victory. And you have no qualms about walking the long arduous path alone.
9. You are consistently awesome
One of the reasons why I call it a “disorder” is because people with too much awesomeness don’t put any conscious effort into being awesome. This is just how they are day in day out. When you have god level awesomeness, you are effortless about all the great personality signs mentioned above. Your awesomeness doesn’t depend on how you are feeling on a particular day. It is just who you are and you are painstakingly consistent in being the best you can be.
