My psychiatrist's explanation of my EUPD was that because of my parents' irregularity of responses to my emotions (ranging from denial to "you're not experiencing [insert emotion], you're just doing this to hurt me!", etc), I didn't learn to regulate my emotional responses as well as non-EUPDs do when they mature from children to adulthood. That's personal to me, though, because he implied that most of my issues stem from my lack of ability to deal with my and others' emotions, whereas others may suffer the other symptoms more strongly.
