My diagnosis is actually BPD, but when I come over to this forum I recognize some of these avoidant tendencies as well...like, I thought I was the only one who avoided anyone seeing her take the garbage out. I live in a small apartment complex, and I will do it late at night just so that I have the cover of night to better keep me from being seen. Same with going to the laundry room. I order a lot of things online (because I'd rather do that than go to the mall), but I never, ever answer the door when the mailman or UPS/FedEx guy knocks. My mailman knows and doesn't knock anymore. But I was sitting on my couch today reading when the UPS guy knocked and I just kept reading--so of course he didn't leave the package, just that little paper. Even if it means that I have to sign the little slip of paper OR even drive out to the UPS facility to get my package, I rarely answer the door.
