I think this stems from having social anxiety? I am not diagnosed but my therapist thinks I might have it. Me being afraid of people makes me anxious about the way I act and how I want to impress and please them. How does one get diagnosed with BDP? Is it by talking to a therapist and asking her/him?

I got referred by my family doctor. A psychiatrist has to diagnose you. It took me about 6 months to get a diagnosis. I'm here in Canada, so I don't know what it's like where you are living. You should ask your therapist how you get diagnosed.
