It sounds an awful lot like me, I thought I was just an introvert but with my touch and intimacy issues as well, this could very well fit
I am curious, does anyone else have this? If so, has your T helped you find ways to work through it??
Does anyone else have any other personality disorder? It's interesting stuff to learn about

Unless your t has a PhD and has given you appropriate testing to back up his suspicions of you being AvPD, I would not let him officially update your notes with this diagnosis. My p-doc told me it's rare to have AvPD. There is a difference in having avoidant traits and having the actual personality disorder.
Your best bet is to do your research on AvPD and see a psychiatrist for proper diagnosing, if that's what you want.
