Theodore Million proposed a subtype, called the " passive aggressive avoidant" or " avoidant borderline " where indeed these 2 seemingly polar opposite PDs come together. It's pretty rare, and most of the people were neglected as children. They avoid relationships at all costs unless they are absolutely certain they will not be rejected but then can have the same issues as borderlines maintaining those relationships.
I know Elle is a therapist, but not too many people besides psychiatrists keep up with all this. I dont have any training of course, but I've spent years studying personality disorders. Lets just say it's a , family , hobby.
