I suspect that I may have Avoidant Personality Disorder, but it really doesn't matter. I need to overcome these issues of anxiety and fear and not avoid things. I thought that perhaps the reason I procrastinated some things was because of OCD or perfectionism, but that just didn't sit right with what I was feeling. I wasn't not doing things because they weren't perfect...I am a perfectionist but not in a way that keeps me from doing things. In fact, I'm not even sure if I truly am a perfectionist. I have learned in my life to say "this is going to have to be good enough."
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else experienced severe avoidance behavior and how you tried to overcome it? Like what strategies you used to counteract it?

Thanks for this thread.

I’m going to look into this because it sounds quite a bit like like some of my behaviors.
