Personal narratives are not non-fiction because a narrative is fiction. Also, it depends on how you write your personal narrative.
Yes, personal narratives are nonfiction. They are accounts of events that have actually happened, often told from the author's own perspective and based on their own experiences and memories.
They can be either fiction or nonfiction depending on the anecdote.
