it's sad, but this is what happens to some people, I suppose

I was touched today to see that someone on here wrote us privately and said they'd attend our funeral

shame they are all the way over in the US (i'm in england)

Well you will be missed by those on here who know you.

I know a family who were very wealthy.

Possible trigger:

The mother committed suicide (although there is speculation that the son killed her), the children refused to pay anything for the mother's remains and let the city dispose of her body.

I watched a video on Avoidant Personality Disorder, and I'm confused what's the difference between it and social anxiety? They both sound similar.

Anyway, yes, I feel the same way. My grave's stone probably will read something like this: "Born and died but didn't live".

Me too. I know they even belongs to different Axis and that the prognosis are also very different.
Feel free to ask about it to a professional or even here, there are people here who know about that.
I only have some traits of avoidance and I think they are product of the pattern I followed to avoid facing to situations when I began to feel social anxiety.

I've been in a general mental health support group for 12 years and I think 2 of the others probably have AvPD. But they're either not sharing that or not diagnosed for similar reasons as me. Like I said, I've known these folks for about 12 years, care about them, even though I suspect our level of "relationship" some people might think is restricted.

Being very obsessive and compulsive I've done a lot of research about psychology and PD's and have some ideas about self-loathing and not being able to be yourself in the world and participate fully.

I agree, unfortunately a PD pattern isn't going away overnight. But, for me, a better understanding of what is, or might, be going on is helping me participate some with more "regular" folks.

I had been participating in the NPD forum -- those folks have some similarity with me. I learned a lot but the group seems to have dissipated for reasons I could speculate about but am not really sure. So . . .would you all be OK with me trying to participate some here?

Honestly, in my grand and glorious NPD, or codependent, way I'd also like to try to add something and help move the understanding of PD's forward, and help you all, if I can, which is something I wish I could do more for my friends, but lack the ability or understanding for. And, of course, I'd like to participate because participating helps me.

I also think that you AvPD's have a lot to offer the world that the world probably isn't too receptive to. Sucks for the world. So I'd like to learn some more about that, if I can.

Glad to have you here, here today. I'm in an internet-based study on anxious PD and AvPD and wonder what the difference is...? I was dx'd w/PD NOS with avoidant features. I tend to avoid commitments - or, more accurately, I make promises that I end up breaking. My dx was made by a PhD psychologist following testing. I'm not sure that my PhD psychotherapist totally agrees w/all of the diagnoses, though.

I would love to hear that I have something to offer others. It's not how I feel most of the time, however.

Cheers~~

I had a friend who is dx’d with Chronic Anxiety with further questioning he said it’s best known as Anxiety Personality Disorder.

Its clear that there is no AvPD influences in Anxiety PD.

There is No AvPD influences in S.A. which I’m sure you know, so think of Anxious PD as Social Anxiety but hardwired like any PD.
