Understanding The Avoidant Personality | Caregivers, Family & Friends

After reading this article posted on the PsychCentral home page today, I realized the extent to which I am avoidant. In particular, the last two descriptions describe me perfectly. I know I am on the computer too much to avoid leaving my apartment. I use PsychCentral as an alternative to going out and meeting people. And, I know that I am very lonely but do not trust my social skills. People just don't seem to like me because I often don't speak up or say the wrong thing because I am too nervous and cannot think of anything right to say other than trite things. I also wished that I enjoyed the company of other people. It's further complicated by my bad experiences and c-PTSD which causes me not to trust people. I am at a loss of what to do.
