Avoidant Personality Disorder Community Group
A group for those suffering from Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD)
Hello world.
I am not sure why I feel like sharing but I will just do it. Even if maybe nobody but one or two members active here.
As I mentioned before I feel so out of my element when I am at a gathering. (small party or meetings)
I always feel anxious and super unconfortble.
Even looking at poeplestreigh in the eyes feels so painful that I have to squint my eyes just to keep up with the conversation.
I think after I told the person I was speaking to about my disorder and told them thats just how I am... I felt much better and safer.
I was still uncomfortable but I was more calm and in control of the wierd looks, my face was making.
I felt like a mini victory today. So just wanted to share some hope.
Thank you for reading.
It really helps when you have understanding people in your life. They're gold. Treasure them. I don't have to tell you how most people are. For me, surprisingly, doctors are the worst. Doctors never get it and most psychologists don't either but at least explaining it to a psychologist will eventually get you a sympathetic ear. Doctors not so much.
