what about when someone has avpd and someone keeps on calling you crazy? dont you think that makes it much worse?
I'm 19 and in college and my entire life has been consumed by this shit. I have been going to therapy for a few years now, which has helped slowly but surely. Hopefully it will get better or completely disappear from my life. If I hadn't gone to a therapist, I would probably be lying in a ditch somewhere right now.
i'm still slowly coming out of this.can someone answer this question is it just as hard with the internet and facebook?cuz 4 me facebook is almost just as worse.
real answer ............SA (sad is seasonal affective disorder) . SA is fear of social situations , avpd has this as a symptom but is much more about problems with relationships/involvment (any relationships , friends etc) and avoiding them altogether in most cases
I have this as well as social anxiety. It's horrible. My whole life has been horrible. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Just Reading the comments and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does some of those things.
About AvPD, I meant to type "It is seen as a more severe form of Social Anxiety Disorder, differing in that AvPD is more ingrained into one's personality, but still very similar."
No it's not fun to live like this, we know that and yet it's too hard to live another way becasue this is all we know. We know we are different, we know we don't fit, we isolate and our world is very small as we rarely venture out of our safety zones. And when I do venture out I rarely interact. It's hard for people to understand the full impact this has on those who have it. Therapy is helping me somewhat but it's a long road I think
Exactly. I want to be normal, have friends, fall in love with a girl, but it feels as if there's an invisible forcefield that repells everything and everyone and keeps me from truly interacting with the world. Like a screen, I can see everything, taste it, smell it, hear it, but I can't really feel it, I can't really connect.
Good example of this "disorder is Will from "Good Will Hunting", I think so.
@dodgingaces i have it too, and i have like one friend that i can trust, i always knew i wasnt like the other kids from a real early age too, i understand your pain cause i live in a town with a bunch of obnoxious, snobby people who don't accept me for being this way. shit i wish i knew you man cause you're one of the very few who would get what im going through and why i hate me life so much!
i knew their was somthing wrong with me ever since 6th grade man. and ive had few freinds "GREAT freinds" that i could trust, or act normal with...but all at once they all had to move away, and i find myself back to a severe state of low self esteem, depression, etc. etc. you know the drill man. and it feels so bad to relive this pain once more. (I found out i had AvPD like 2 days ago....fit the perfect description) so fucking sick of it.
i have this disorder and its become so extreme to the point that i find myself doing weird things such as talking to myself or imagining myself doing things in life that gain me respect because i cant get do or receive these things in reality, i found out that this is something called escapism, another symptom that people with avoidant personality disorder may have depending on the extremeness of it
Funny thing is.. i want to be social. I'm good when i'm around friends, but shut down when there're new ppl, situations coming up. Heh, i got here when I was looking for articles about 'suicide'... guess it's going downhill pretty fast now. May seek help may not... because I don't trust psychiatrists. They're just quoting their books, right ;-)

@lilaleahg what is the difference between APD and SAD?
I have all the symptoms listed. That's what I suffering from, not from SAD like I thought before (
I have this.When Im around people,they make stupid jokes about how quiet i am,which makes me want to avoid them even more.

AvPD. The hate I have for it can't be put into words.
