I think I have BPD, but I can't be bothered to go meet a psychiatrist.

Why do you think you have BPD?

I chronically stalk people like a federal agent, pretend to act like or mimic someone I meet, and tell others to just abandon me or ask if I'm a boring person, honestly speaking.

It been almost a year since I got rid of my group of friends, a diagnosis isn't gonna cure me being a shitty person. I was planning to kill myself after they called me creepy, but I keep on moving for some reason.

That sort-of sounds like BPD but not quite, could very well be ASD autistic spectrum. Both of those disorders are very similar you know. Autism is frequently misdiagnosed as BPD frequently. Both BPD & Autism share:
>Fears of abandonment
>People-pleasing and people-seeking behaviours
>Masking their true persona and mimicking social patterns to 'fit in'
>Having no felt sense of a true persona underneath, both don't exactly know who they even are mentally
>Both have hypersensitivity, emotional stimuli feeling at 200% volume, feeling like their very being is like living without skin, everything hurts and overwhelms them.
>Both constantly struggle with feeling hollow or empty inside.
See how easy it would be to misidentify and autist for a BPD with similarities like those? That's why you should be assed to go and find out. Because if it turns out you are ASD and you tell people or believe yourself to be a BPD then you will falsely inherit all of the stigma that comes from that. You already know how people perceive BPDs and how most people despise them. If you fall for identifying as one you'll end up villainizing yourself and it'll cost your sanity even more.

The difference between the two is that the BPD intends to hurt others on purpose, they sabotage relationships on purpose and know exactly why they do it. They do it because they want shit to resemble their own familiar sense of chaos and pain, so they feel at home. Where as the other is simply super anxious and self conscious and convinced they are boring/bad/weird so they always run away from things out of fear of fucking it up (which ironically fucks things up)

Also good I'm glad you didn't. And I think you ought to trust that aspect of yourself that chose to keep moving on, because you will find that's actually your real-self doing the work for you in the background of your life, that you deep down know that what you are going through is a repetitive behavioural cycle yes but it's one that will not last forever and there is in fact a 'light at the end of the tunnel' and your instinct knows this, and it knows this because that is true, there is. That's why suicidal ideation can be safely ignored, but don't forget suicidal ideation has a lesson worth remembering: It wants you to die, not actually (you), but your way of life is what should be killed not you as the participant of that way of life. Suicidal people confuse the instinctual message often, they think it means "kill yourself" when it simply means 'kill your old way of life because it's killing you'. That way of life could mean anything from habits or barriers you got in yourself or even things in life outside of you dragging you down like shitty situations or circumstances or bad influences. Anyway OP take heart in knowing hope is not lost, and keep moving 'for some reason' until you learn what that reason is once and for all the you will thrive

If you’re stopping to wonder whether you have BPD, you probably don’t. Someone with BPD is usually caught up in reacting to everything, not pausing to question if they have it.

This, OP. Also consider the fact that BPD is a statistical rarity, has only a 1.6% occurrence in population sizes. Yes this does men that most of the 'BPD ex/gf' stories you read online are untrue.

A diagnosis won't. But the treatment that becomes available to you after a diagnosis might.
