However, I really have to disagree with you... I think the well-adjusted, well-behaved characters (and people) are much more interesting. Dysfunction may be interesting for a while, but then you come across an inflexibility - an unwillingness to change, a compulsion towards bad habits. Repetition. Well-adjusted people are more likely to reinvent themselves, encountering dysfunction along the way, giving it proper context but not getting hung up over things. I think balance and contentment is the way to go.
That said, I also like liminal states. I am constantly trying to push my limits so that I can be (ha!) a more well-adjusted, well-behaved person. I want to startle myself into a more profound state of happiness, bring out my most compassionate and tolerant side. I feel at my most powerful when getting meta about power.
Anyway, keep setting new limits and challenging yourself.

Go to your edge. And write into your darkest place"
This is something that I'm actually working on. I feel that by stretching your limits will help you in the long run with ideas and general writing style.
Some dysfuntion is good, but it can be over done. But definitely make characters that are believeable.
