can you have both dpd and avpd?

So this is my first post but I've been wondering this...
So I suspect i have AvPD because I have most of the symptoms. It could just be social anxiety but idk. I don't have a therapist at the moment so.

Anyway I basically avoid everyone out of fear of rejection and all that, but I am lucky enough to have a girlfriend. We've known each other our entire childhood and eventually started dating so ...

I may have traits of this, requesting advice on how to...

... Overcome.

Yo all,
I suspect I have traits of this (along with avpd traits) which I beleive at the very least comes from low self-confidence/self-esteem, which would explain why I am not always like this as it depends on my confidence (I am aware there are other dynamics to this).

It's at the level where I am semi-independent and have forced myself to be alright alone, but still experience a feeling of loss, loneliness, ...

How do you tell healthy relationships from dependence?

Hi, I'm new here and to this diagnosis, but since getting it I can't stop thinking about every single relationship in my life. Am I dependent on my girlfriend? On my mom? On my friends?
So I wanted to ask you what do you do to know you've been dependent on someone, what are your boundaries and how do you know they have been crossed.
Your answers help a lot, thank you!

Does this sound like DPD?

Hello everyone; I’ve been worried about this for a while now but since looking up articles on emotional dependence I’ve been a bit more worried than usual. Basically I’ve had this gigantic crush on the same guy for 4 years now, I always knew nothing could spark between us because he’s straight and so he’s not into guys, but I always had hope. Initially it was your usual high school crush that give you butterflies ...

Does this sound like dependent personality disorder?

I have heard of this condition before. Only really considering this as a possibility now. I’m 29 and feel heavily dependent on my mother. I call her every 2-3 hours but not when she’s at work. I am usually talking about specific things like work. I always need advice or support. I can’t make decisions sometimes so things just stay on my mind for months with no answer. My mums not particularly helpful sometimes and ...

Is my friend suffering from a Dependent Personality Disorder?
She lives alone in a studio apartment, but doesn't go out to mingle with people and has a liking for a married man with 2 kids.
