I'm not nitpicking over a diagnosis. A "self-diagnosis" isn't a diagnosis at all, after all.
There is a difference between support and enabling.
All you're doing is giving yourself an excuse to stay miserable. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do that. If you think you can explain it, go ahead and try.

Is it possible, ck2d for you to open a thread about discussing the dangers of a self-diagnosis.
I normaly like people twister my thread but, I can't understand why the topic is here when I was diagnosed with AvPD.
By the way, I know here, in the avoidant forum, there are people who has other issues. Don't talk about comorbidity.
They never said that they are avoidants. They have avoidants beaviour but they are diagnosed with social phobia.
I enjoy talking with them, so please, open your own thread.
Look, the main reason why I'm here is to say the young people to go to therapy but you know, as well as me, going to therapy means trusting in someone or ask for help, things that are quite difficult for an avoidant.
You, me can't get anything telling them over and over again what they have to do. Pushing so strongly, the only thing we may get is that the person goes away from us.
