i panic in social situations if i haven't geared myself up for it. i had lunch with a woman a couple weeks ago and for a week before and a week after it i was freaking out and going crazy about every little thing. i can't stand talking on the phone unless i know exactly who's on the line. calling customer service is terrifying, haha, but husband works during the day so i'm forced to call if we need it. i hate leaving the house unless i feel like i'm perfect, or at least mostly, haha, and that's VERY hard to do. and then there's a ton of other stuff, even concerning my husband to whom i am so attached, haha...

basically everything PC says about avpd, i have. can't say the same for the bpd, which is why i'm of the mind that i don't have bpd, that it's actually avpd, but i'm on this forum because no one ever posts on the avpd forum xD

i'm not diagnosed either way with anything but FINALLY a link to some info on bpd/avpd traits! i have been looking but haven't been successful, so thank you!
