I don't know if you have done research on Avoidant Personality Disorder but I did a bit, even a lot. I like to learn and understand.

A person who has this disorder wasn't born with it. Something happened that this disorder has developped along the way. The main reason is "rejection". This person has been badly rejected as a child, the feeling of not being wanted, not good enough, taking too much space, too worthless to be love comes with rejection. Then this person will bring this into her adult life being very careful to hide who she is inside, will avoid talking about her inside feelings, will avoid pure and simply talking about herself. A constant battle is inside of her because this person wants to belong but yet will build walls so to not get too close to someone else. Also the constant feeling of worthlessness makes it hard for this person to even think she could belong or be part. The " not good enough" plays a main role. To trust is a big issue for this person with this disorder and even in therapy it will be hard for this person to open up and trust who is in front of her. Avoidant is mostly to avoid talking about yourself because this person can be very sociable, very well fonction in public as long as she is not talking about herself.
