how is this different from social anxiety?

god damnit

I'm not diagnosed with anything but same

Like a persistent cough vs. influenza

People I hate and can never relate to. I don't get why these people exist and you all need to run off a cliff because you're massively unpleasant.

Sounds like a virgin.

:(

these psycology lists are the best. so fucking vague, so many things for any person to relato to. its missing: this person breathes, drink water, sometimes has to pee or poo.

It's not. Most of the time, personality disorders are just barnum archetypes designed to be readily applied to corresponding personalities to sell therapy referrals, pharms, and with the internet self-diagnosers, books.

are you given medication to take?

The 'pick 5 from this list' criteria for the DSM is pretty terrible. For some to be a disorder there should be a demonstration of clear dysfunction

Also hyper-sensitivity should be strictly necessary to be considered dysfunctionally avoidant

Avoidant personality disorder is said to be the worst of all the personality disorders. It’s also the least researched and well understood, people with it (especially men) basically will never have proper relationships. I’m diagnosed with it, I have an extreme fear of allowing people into my life or going out into public due to fear of humiliation. I have extreme sense of inferiority compared to every single person I meet, I have nothing good to say about myself and I feel as though I’m the lowest of the low in society.

One example of how this hinders basic interaction is I’m afraid to tell others about the things I like, if someone wants to know what I like to do I feel a deep sense of shame. I cannot ever have things like social media for this reason. Someone asking me to tell them my favorite book or movie or what type of music I enjoy causes extreme distress in me. I’ve webt months without speaking to others at times, I’m even afraid of my own family and relatives. Make no mistake, if you have this disorder it will be hell trying to live an even somewhat normal life.

I don't know.
These descriptions fit me 100%.
My psychologist called me avoidant.
But I am not sure.
Feels like these disorders are designed to fit anyone.
This.

Btw I'm a 39 year old virgin

>Btw I'm a 39 year old virgin
Have you just given up that part of your life?
Not trying to be an asshole or judging but being a virgin at that point in your life you'd just move onto other pursuits, wouldn't you?

>demonstration of clear dysfunction
39 year old virgin and 0 confidence and self esteem is a demonstration?

Btw I searched and found a job despite that so I'm not a neet.

No, just psychotherapy which is the most effective method. I've been seeing the same therapist for a little over a year. SSRIs kill you mentally in my experience, from the many different I tried.

If you’re an adult virgin and not for religious reasons there’s a very very high chance you have a mental illness of some sort. I’m not even joking either, and by adult virgin I mean 23/24+.

yeah I'd never take ssris but what about benzos?
Are only psychiatrists able to prescribe those?
I guess they aren't worth it in the long run.

I was a virgin until 25 or 26 (with symptoms in OP). Semi-normal now, or at least I pretend to be. I'm still kinda shy.

Not completely because after work I managed to go on my first dates with girls the previous year (movies, drink, dinner, hug) but it failed epically.
Now I almost have given up because most women I know are married, single mothers or quite old to have children.
I stopped pursuing women and just try to become financially independent and responsible in general.
It's not the flu, but what is avoidant.
My psychologist told me (she is a woman btw but I don't go anymore because can't afford it).

Benzos are usually reserved for people who have a legitimate panic disorder who will be endangered by panicking and passing out in certain situations. I was prescribed them once but after taking a single dose I kept forgetting I filled my prescription and went to the same pharmacy multiple times trying to fill it. I threw them all away after that. Sober/a little bit drunk fantasy is the best coping mechanism for avoidant personality disorder in my opinion. Having a regular and consistent fantasy world helps a lot.

>"avoidant personality"
sure

>"signs and symptons"
yeah definitely not me lol sorry bros

I fucking love Eva and have been rewatching it recently. I never noticed how in the first few episodes Shinji has a tendancy to flip-flop between completely despondent and overtly happy. I don't think Shinji has APD, I think he's bipolar.

Holy shit, is it true?
The real reason they watch GoT is the dragons??
Fuck that's fucked up.

Ah you lull yourself to sleep with scenarios that will never happen as well? Do you sleep in the fetal position with a pillow between your legs and another pillow for cuddling?

I sleep in the fetal position but I use a stuffed animal to cuddle. I don't put anything between my legs although I should try it with my spare pillow. That said I do imagine scenarios that will never happen to put me to sleep. I had sleeping difficulties for years and the only way I became functional was melatonin and this combined, complete impossible fantasy scenarios that are not only impossible, but would be difficult to describe or explain to someone else.

i'd like any of you to prove that you exist and aren't just figments of my imagination. that's right you can't.

There is a subtype that is quite able to break you instead. They are hypersensitive to critizism but also very cold, they understand criticism better then anyone. Thus they know which buttons to push, so its more likely that YOU are end up broken in the end. Faggot.

how can you be diagnosed if you have that disorder? It means you talked about it with someone which means you don't have that disorder.
that's pretty much the vast majority of Yea Forums, here we can be anonymous and unironically "be ourselves"

I do all that, and if I don't have the pillows I don't sleep well

then your personality is being someone manipulative

yeah I have a parallel feeling where I think some superior being must be fucking with me because there's no way my life is what it solely because of random factors

I want to die.

I don't want to die but I don't want to live too

>self-loathing

I really need to go see a shrink to get my diagnosis and get neetbux but I've been avoiding it for years, the irony

I think you're overcompensating, user. Seek help.

>caring so much you get a doctor to give you a diagnosis
Just get on with your life, a piece of paper is just there to make you feel special

Shinji doesn't have AvPD.

>Do you sleep in the fetal position with a pillow between your legs and another pillow for cuddling?
Huh I do that but I didn't think it was a common thing

>Neet
>haven't socialised in three years

I let it take a hold of me completely. I used to have some friends who I would go out drinking with etc but then I just flat out stopped accepting invitations. gradually I became more comfortable and okay with my isolation. now even if I wanted to hang out with them it would be fucking weird. they've all moved on with their lives and are happy functioning normal people with stable jobs and relationships.
I pine and fantasise about having friends and a social life but the reality is that after about 15 minutes I just want to go home.

I think I'm probably on the spectrum or have some other kind of inherent brain problem.
I used to think I was just depressed and anxious and that's why I can't function as an adult but even when those things go away I'm still a huge fucking weirdo. and thinking back to when I was a kid I was only weirder and more asocial. strange fixations, obsessions, odd antisocial tendencies, extremely odd creepy behavior in social situations.
I always tell myself that "if I just do this certain thing I'll become normal" the reality is there is nothing. just cope and delusion. born a creepy weird little boy and will die a creepy weird sad man. completely oblivious to what it is that makes me a social failure but painfully obvious to everyone else.

Benzos are not effective for living a productive life. They will put you on your ass.
