I also don't really need a "diagnoses" with regard to how I'm feeling. If AvPD is the closest that I can get and I am pretty much in agreement with 96% of the traits, then fine. That's what I am. Let's call it that. Everyone is different. The number of different psychologial "disorders" is nearly as long as there are people. All that matters to me is how I feel and how it affects my life. Whatever you want to call it, it's fine. I just need to find how to fix ME, and if attaching a label to it gets me there a little quicker, then good.
