No, I've never admitted to people that I have AvPD, I still have to visit a psychologist to check if I really have AvPD, I match the description and can relate to others, though.
I'm too scared that if I would tell people that I struggle with AvPD that they wouldn't accept me anymore, not that I really get accepted anyways (exept for here, this place is great!).
And also, for the same reason as whisperfades I don't really go to the chat rooms, I don't know what I have to expect from the others, if they will lead the conversation, what I'll have to say. I even prepare my own dialogues the day beforehand I go to my school so I don't have to make it up! And it's the same for the posts really, either I don't post them or work on them for hours, even if they were just short, like this one
