It is important to remember that certain aspects of personality disorders fit evreyone to a certain degree. As I was reading that I started thinking, "Oh my! Oh my! That's me! That's is so me!" I'm going to now go and ask my therapist if it's possible that I have that instead of BPD. Or with? Nooooooo... I do this everytime I read something, a few weeks ago I was conviced I had antisocial personality disorder. He said I didn't. But what if this time he doesn't say no?
But, the point I'm trying to make is that people can identify with all aspects to a certain degree. I think the reason I can is because of emotional numbing in part and the fact that I tend to disbelieve praise.
I think that once you are set up with a therapist that you feel more able to open up with and to, you'll progress nicely. And I can't wait to see it happen (and hear the things you tell your therapist!!! I can't wait for that. Maybe I won't be so embarrassed!). Also, I'm proud at how you've already set out to prove him wrong! A girl after my own heart!
