Thanks. Like I said, I don't know for sure, I just know that I definitely suffer from some of these traits, and dealing with those traits won't necessarily be different with a Dx or not. I've been researching treatment, DBT mostly, for AVPD but also for avoidance coping behavior.
I've dealt with these problems for so long, it's nice to think that it might actually be a real thing that could actually be overcome or at least managed. It's sort of like, the first step to treating the problem is recognizing there is a problem? It's almost like a relief knowing/admitting that there is an issue beyond what I've already been Dx'd with.
