This describes me in so many ways. Another aspect of it is HSP's have a deep empathy for other people but are often afraid to show it out of fear of rejection.
The bad side of it is if someone who is HSP has had alot of traumatic experiences this can effect them much more deeply than someone who doesn't have this trait making them more prone to chronic depression and other mental issues.

It describes me too with all the descriptions, but the problem is that they are saying that it " has often been confused with innate shyness, social anxiety problems, inhibitedness, social phobia and innate fearfulness, and introversion"...but I not only am I really sensitive, but shy and introverted too (well, all of what they are saying since I'm socially awkward and anxious too) . And all the signs/symptoms I found about AvPD are all describing me. So I'm a bit lost, I don't know if you can have several disorders/traits...
