Hello everybody, I have never been diagnosed (being too avoidant to seek professional help) but I do fit the diagnostic criteria of this PD. Extreme fear of being rejected - I usually don't risk any interaction with others, I am so sure they would tell me to go to hell; I am unable to force myself to socialize unless I can be sure they will accept me; I am hypervigilant all the time and watch out for potential reasons for being criticized; I am always convinced that others dislike me and no matter how hard I try, I am just unfit to be accepted; my life is mostly about trying to cope with the fact that I am not - and never will be - good enough.
