Yes it is possible to have these traits and not have a cluster B personality disorder. Some of these characteristics can be applied to many people that suffer from depression, bipolar disorder, general anxiety disorder, etc. Also some of the traits are behaviors that even non-disordered people display such as, anxiety, inability to accept criticism. The difference between having traits and personality disorders is the pathological aspect.
