Full blown, true borderline is quite rarely diagnosed, however, like most mental disorders it works on a sliding scale of severity. its also a very co-morbid disorder, meaning that in most cases it presents with other disorders as well.

Borderline personality disorder is very rare however. sure you may have some of the criteria, but going off having “some” criteria you could probably diagnose yourself with every disorder ever.
this would need to be diagnosed by a professional and qualified psychologist.

Id be careful about self diagnosing psychiatric illnesses, you could probably find a “disorder” to fit just about anyone! Border line personality disorder seems to be a fairly recent phenomena as well, maybe a product of the emo generation?

Most people have 2-4 disorders, because the brain just is not made to be balanced perfectly. For example, if you are not Timid, Paranoid or compulsive, your almost certain to be obsessive (apparently).

the problem is that each disorder has certain criteria that needs to be met, and many of these traits eaither cross over all are present in the majority of people. dont worry about it.

infact, i think worrying about personality disorders is a personality disorder!
