The timing of this test is quite interesting as I have been spending a lot of time recently looking at this issue, avoidant personality disorder, and schizoid personality disorder.  I find I have quite a few behaviors that align with SPD. I also feel that living with a pwBPD aggravates the situation, in that quite often I would rather just be by myself than deal with the BS anymore. I wonder if anyone here has the same feeling.

I took the personality disorder test and scored highest on OCD, with a somewhat high reading on narcissism. I can see the OCD for sure, but the narcissism was a bit of a surprise because I always thought of narcissism as in an "I'm the greatest" kind of viewpoint. Then upon reflection, I could see the narcissistic part manifesting as "It's all about ME--and MY issues--and let's talk about ME some more."

Kinda embarrassing. Hopefully enlightening. Gratefully evolving--or is this more of the same?  Smiling (click to insert in post) Being cool (click to insert in post) Smiling (click to insert in post) Laugh out loud (click to insert in post)

Ain't that the truth? Any time I think I really know what's going on is the time I'm going to step into another bottomless pit.
