Hi Patty,

From what I've read....(keep in mind-I'm not a professional)and have also been told by professionals.... is that when one has traits but they are not debilitating one's whole life, then it is not considered a personality disorder but a personality "style".

Sounds like it doesn't affect your whole life just a few parts of it and you are able to go about things in a fairly healthy manner.....then that would be a personality "style" not a "disorder".....
At least, that's my understanding.... perhaps someone will come and explain more..... -- I could be incorrect in this......

(it's been suggested that I'm of some kind of disordered type... my work(or lack of),every relationship I have/had, the way I see myself in any situation.... it's all affected)

take care
