*sigh*... as usual, don't self-diagnose. What should you do? First, quit thinking about it, and if you want a diagnosis, see a psychologist or psychiatrist. As of now, it means nothing. You're foregetting the fact that personality disorders are an Axis II disorder of the DSM-IV-TR (not sure if they use the ICD-10 in the UK or not). Regardless, they have to be inflexible and last for a very long time. Also, how old are you?

To capture a diagnosis of a personality disorder at the age of 16/17 is very rare. Personality disorders are rigid, maladaptive patterns of behaviour that cannot be explained by other disorders (e.g. anxiety disorders, mood disorders etc).
I would say that it is very unlikely that you have this, but as Inferno said the only way you can be sure is by getting assessed by a psychologist or psychiatrist.
