I personally have always been drawn towards other people, and this has led me to cling on very tightly. I definitely exhibit outward anger, but a lot of my anger is also directed towards myself, which is how I end up in suicidal mindsets and self harming tendencies.
I'm sorry I don't have much advice to give. I hope that you're able to get help for your struggles regardless.

Hello, thanks for replying. Avoidant personality disorder has been ruled out. In fact all personality disorders were. Next thing I know I've been referred for therapy where everyone has BPD and I am now being told I have BPD traits.
I definitely think I have some kind of problem with relating to people, that's for sure. I rely on other people to give me a role/character/personality because without that I feel like I don't exist at all. I also find that I sacrifice my own likes/dislikes/thoughts/feelings/opinions whenever I'm in some kind of relationship with another person. It's like rather than meeting them in the middle, I go too far so that I lose my identity completely in the relationship, not that I ever had much of an identity in the first place!
