Well, you might be right. Another possibility is dependent personality disorder. Also keep in mind that most people have some of the symptoms of most of the personality disorders. And also, most people could improve their social skills from learning what is taught in DBT too. What it comes down to is how much problem do your symptoms create in your life? And do you want to change any of that? Are you interested in improving your relationships and relationship skills, or in learning to be more autonomous? If so, then it's worth talking to a therapist about it, whether or not you have a personality disorder.

Would you like to tell us more about what happened with your friend? Maybe we can help.
