I think the problem is that the psychiatrist bases the diagnoses in the visible symptons such as, depression, social anxiety, avoidance...some others, it seems to me that diagnose the symptons to avoid putting the patient a label.

Can I ask you what made you consider a BPD diagnosis and what made you dismiss it?
Years ago I was in treatment and I suggested to my therapist that I could have a personality disorder. It was our third encounter and he said something like "I highly doubt that". I understand he wasn't going to diagnose me, a teenager back then, with a life-long PD after my third session, but even then I could easily see myself as an avoidant or a BPD.
Right now I think I fall out of a BPD, though I'm not completely sure. I'm starting to suspect my mother has BPD and seeing her traits in me is scary. As for the AvPD, I'm pretty sure I have it. 98% of what I read about AvPD is simply... me!
