That is what I thought, but I don't have some repressed longings for friendship, the thought of it is repulsive to me. Schizoid fits me better, which is why I don't like the way the personality disorders are defined. They seem too specific for someone like me who is all over the map.

I have bits and pieces of all of them except the cluster B disorders(thankfully) and dependent. A milder version of schizotypal seems the closest but still doesn't fit nicely.

I thought it odd that my pdoc labelled me with avoidant.

I guess there is nothing to be taken to help myself from these diagnosis.
