Not an exceptionally low self image. I have always felt misunderstood since childhood. I am now 67 and have NEVER had a lasting friendship aside from a wife who is an agoraphobic, and who doesn't have the choice to run away, but would no doubt do so given the choice. I'm not appreciated. I voluntarily gave up my country, and my religion. I've always worked hard to earn a living. I don't drink---apart from the occasional beer with my meal, I don't smoke, I have never taken drugs, apart from those prescribed. I don't intentionally set out to harm or abuse anyone, I believe in treating others with respect, as I would like to be treated. So why have a led a **** existence of a life without much fun. Is it really because of a borderline personality disorder?

My inclination is to say, "Yes, it could be." BPD can cause all sorts of difficulties in relating to people. And it can definitely drive people away.
74 in itself is not too high a score. I assume you're saying BPD was the only major issue that showed up in the test results.
