I want to be able to open up to people and to make friends, but no matter how hard I try, I can't force myself to really talk to people. All I can think is "don't embarrass yourself," and if I see what I think to be a judgmental look or comment, I immediately shut down, get red, and stop talking. I know they probably aren't really thinking anything bad about me, but I always feel like they are (someone laughing in my classroom? Probably directed at me).
Like I said, I really want to be able to make new friends. I want to be able to talk to people without wringing my hands or avoiding eye contact. I want to be able to be a good girlfriend to my boyfriend, I can't even hold his hand. I just get this overwhelming feeling of 'I'm not supposed to do that!' whenever I do anything affectionate whatsoever. Is there any way to get rid of AvPD?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
