Well I have avpd (avoidant personality disorder, yes professionally diagnosed) and idk why but I have 7 of the bpd dsmr symptoms. And when I asked my therapist about it, she said and I quote; "borderline is an 'avoidant' at first". But why?? And I really need some perspective from someone's with bpd because I'm also paranoid and have delusions so idk reality sometimes.
