I'm pretty sure that I'm schizotypal, maybe with paranoid tendencies. But I'm not really sure about the paranoid tendencies. I've a paranoid fear, but that's mainly connected to a certain situation what could be more typical for schizotypal, I dunno. :shrug:

I'm a self-diagnosed Avoidant PD. I fit all the criteria to a T. How do I overcome it? I don't. I'm alone all the time and I seem to prefer it that way.

I've been accusatorily deemed a reactive personality, but that's not really a disorder in most contexts. I take criticism personally because, let's be honest, that's usually how it's intended.

I seem to be on the schizoid spectrum somewhere, and am wondering if it is getting more pronounced as I age.

That's very common in schizotypal PD
(who is just a PD in the DSM, but not in the ICD-10 where it's called "schizotype disorder", because it differentiates in some ways from the other PDs).

it is just that people are being able to follow me less and less. like I am gradually and inexorably going off the deep end.

Probably.

I've got some symptoms that remind me of borderline.
