A diagnosis is just a label someone else gives you. If you trust modern psychology, maybe it’s a useful label. In my context, however, it’s just as relevant as lone wolf.
My point being anything you label yourself or others is purely a function of your ego. The whole framework you describe above exists purely in your own mind. If I met you, I may walk away with a completely different idea about you, a function of my own ego.
If a diagnosis helps you, that’s fantastic. Making it part of your identity is a trap that will narrow your perspective of the universe.
