Schizoid Borderline - SzPD With BPD
Is this even possible? They seem to contradict each other in some aspects. The biggest one being emotional dysregulation.

Schizoids typically don't feel emotions very deeply, while borderlines feel them very intensely. Being SzPD is largely down to being a loner and wanting to do solitary activities; you don't even want to date anyone. From my research, you can still feel bad about not socializing sometimes if you have SzPD, and they often have a few friends they occasionally socialize with. Meanwhile, being BPD is largely down to intense fear of abandonment, emotional dysregulation, chronic feelings of emptiness with identity disturbance, and impulsivity.

What would someone with both SzPD and BPD look like? Would this be like a big introvert who doesn't really care about socializing that much, but develops an intense fear of abandonment if they fear they will lose someone? Would it be someone who doesn't go out much or tried to minimize how much they go out out of fear of judgement from others or negative, intense confrontations? Would this person be experiencing intense emotions, but at home while alone or alone in his room?

I think they could mesh. If schizoid - focusing on detatchment part - maybe its coping mech from trauma. in that case the bpd could be repression coming up.
these terms are more symptomatic labels than true definitions of who you are. they come with the fallacies of linguistics

I was diagnosed with SzPD a few years ago after many visits over a few years with my psychologist, and after reading about it, I initially thought I was misdiagnosed. After doing some deeper reading into SzPD, I believe I was accurately diagnosed. I haven't seen a psychologist for a few years, though. It's just that I seemingly paradoxically also have symptoms that you would expect from BPD, especially with emotional dysregulation. I feel shame on a daily basis and I have paranoid ideation. I have tons of anxiety and I'm generally very neurotic. I also have OCD.

Bump out of interest.
