BPD can manifest with very different outward symptoms. If you feel this diagnosis fits, maybe they are misunderstanding the various/differing manifestations in behaviors/symptoms?
You are further along in your path of being more fully understood by your doctor, which I hope proves helpful.
One of my very best friends suffers a very quiet type of BPD. Most people never suspect BPD in her case. When relationships are very close and she discloses her inner experiences, its much more apparent as to how she suffers.
I do hope the diagnoses prove helpful to you, moving you along toward healing.
