As the title indicates, I would love to hear how you would describe and characterize your experience with avoidant personality disorder and the way it has and still does affect your life. What are the greatest hurdles, how is it expressed in your relations to other people and especially yourself?

I am looking to expand my vocabulary and understanding of this PD as on Friday I am finally going to speak with the psychiatric nurse for my diagnosis, and I fear not being able to explain myself well enough. I really hope you guys can help!
