I have "moderate" to most, borderline and OC to "high" and Histrionic to "low".

if you don't mind saying, how would you say the high on borderline/OC affects your life?

I do wash my hands quite often and I like when my house is clean. But no kind of "rituals" or need to repeat things. By definition i don't have an OCD.

For BPD I have some symptoms, but by definition I don't have it either.

for the BPD, when you say by definition you don't have it either, do you mean that the symptoms you have that speak BPD to you are not the number or type of symptoms in the textbook? how does it manifest?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but when clicking for "more info" in the borderline disorder, it's listing Symptoms for "Schizotypal Personality Disorder" which are:

Odd or eccentric mannerisms or appearance
Superstitious or preoccupied with paranormal phenomena
Difficult to follow speech patterns
Feelings of anxiety in social situations
Suspiciousness and paranoia
Odd beliefs or magical thinking
Appears shy, aloof, or withdrawn to others

I'm not eccentric, superstitious, have "difficulty to follow speech patterns", suspicious, or odd beliefs.

I do am being anxious in social situations and shy, with a particular but not attention drawing way of dressing.

I don't think those symptoms can diagnose me with BPD, if that's what you're asking.

it appears that the website is defective in that when you click on one illness it describes another. BPD's hallmarks are:

*intense fear of abandonment, real or imaginary-
*Having intense relationships with lots of conflict, and seeing the other person as “all-good" or “all bad."
*Feeling unsure about one’s identity; a lack of “personhood" or non-existence. Feeling empty, like one has a black put inside them that can never fill up.
*Engaging in impulsive “pain management" behaviors, such as going on spending sprees, having promiscuous sex, driving recklessly, abusing drugs or alcohol, binge eating, breaking the law, threatening suicide or making attempts, and engaging in self-harm.
*Being emotional unstable: frequent and fast mood changes; uncontrolled, intense anger and rage; and intense sadness and irritability.
*Paranoia in very stressful situations; episodes of numbness or “zoning out" or “dissociation" (feeling numb or "zoned out").

i read that many female aspies have some of these traits as well.

I don't see myself in these symptoms.
