If someone says "for those who have or want to understand the disorder better" I will loose my banana's!

idk what to do. I'm so annoyed with the lack of care.
Sorry to put it that way. I do understand that everyone is volunteers etc, but the problem still remains and I'm pissed off that my Personality disorder is discredited with every non-avpd post.

Look at the posts, go back as far as you like and you will be hard pressed to find a post written by and replied to by Avies only.
You will find plenty of Avoiding stories or my recent favourite "illusions" but none of that. NONE is applicable to AvPD.

Another problem is people who come to learn about AvPD for a family member or someone who is new to the disorder reads the forum and is confused even more.
The family treats the person according to what they believe to be true...bc its in the AvPD forum after all. The advice/Information that they receive will come from those without the disorder
None of that is helpful, and if the person asks a follow up question good chance that the individual will be confused even more. The individual needs to be able to identify and if they can't identify with a non-avie the circle of confusion continues to spin
... and as a selfish thing Avies need a place especially if it has AvPD written on the door.

It's like people don't care all they care about is posting their non-avpd story bc it has the word Avoiding in it, and I'm starting to think the forum doesn't care every time I see another a non-AvPD story.
All that seems to matter is if the people are polite with their post.... but, then what's the point of the sub forum, what the point of having a AvPD forum? my original question.

I can't go on the women's forum and post something...even if I do it politely!! (male)

I cant post in the self injury forum if i accidently cut myself shaving for fear of possibly triggering someone. (I don't cut and I'm not that disrespectful.)

So why isn't the same respect shown to those with AvPD?

Yes, I'm that upset and figured this is the best way to handle it....hopefully.
