I am not formally diagnosed avpd, but since discovering it about 8 months ago, I am certain I have it. I have struggled socially my whole life. In the past 5 years the only meaningful human contact I've had has been with my immediate family, except the last 6 months. I have finally found a groupOf people my age that seem to like me, at least more so than any other group of people ever. However after 6 months of barely speaking, they are noticing, or at least, I think. They are, that somethings wierd about me. Half the time I just want them to psychicly know what's up,The other half I just want to go on Facebook and say I have avpd and hope for the best. What should I do? These are the best people I've ever encountered. I force myself to stay until I'm one of the last people to leave no matter how awkward I feel,or look. I don't want to screw this up. Thanks so much for the help.
