Hi,
I think I may have Avoidant Personality disorder. I was born deaf since I was 5 years old. Kid at elementary school picked on me all the time and every day. I was so tired of it When I went to high school I had friends and hand out with one of my friend, Denise. We did everything together. When I get together with other "deaf" friends they talk (sign language) and I don't quite get what being said. (some people sign differently then others). After I graduate from high school I have no friends at all. I don't social due 1) I'm deaf 2) I also have depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder. Maybe those combination is part of the issues.
I used to go to meetup with my dog Pug and go to art and craft but now I don't do those things anymore. Possible I have Avoidant Personality disorder?

loveyouhun
