thankyou...

they are of course just labels... labels are just used to try to describe what flavor is in the can...
i think everyone presents symptoms a little differently... especially when you hide them inside and present your demeanor in a more "normalized"manner....

alot of people would probably be confused by me, thinking that im normal... until they are around me more and more and see how i withdraw more and more...
the more i am around someone the more difficult it is for me to present a positve demeanor...

so really i think the big difference between schizoid and avpd... is that schizoid dont desire relationships... dont enjoy friendships or relationships or being close to anyone (including family)...
and avpd you desire the relationships but are faced with challenges trying to have them... you want to be close to people but are faced with these inner turmoils that cause you to withdraw and distance yourself...

this is how i see it but i may be wrong..

have you read the wiki on these?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizo...ality_disorder

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoida...ality_disorder

have to take it with grain of salt... these are text book definitions... in reality symptoms can present themselves differently i think...
