Hello. I am new here. I have a question. Does my situation sound like avoidant personality disorder or something else? I experience the opposite of what I have been reading from you guys about friendship. First off, I believe I experience social anxiety. I am shy and quiet. I let people walk all over me and try to be a people pleaser. I feel really bad when I make mistakes. The difference is, I can be knowing someone for a long time or have a good first encounter with a person and avoid them the next time I am around them. I don't know why. It's like I create awkward, anxious situations for myself and others. I believe my social issues started about 10 years ago in high school when I developed this body odour problem. It became very embarrassing and uncomfortable to be around others and deal with their responses. I began avoiding family, friends, strangers. The crazy thing is, I can be fine one moment and go out of my way to avoid you the next and it isn't everyone that I get like this with and its causing a strain in my relationships at work, with family, etc. Sorry about the flood of information. Any advice, comments would be appreciated.
