Welcome!

/c/avpd is a support community for individuals who suffer from Avoidant Personality Disorder and their loved ones. If you or someone you care about has AvPD, this is a safe space where you can talk about it.

Self-diagnosed and self-suspecting individuals are welcome to join and participate, however please keep in mind that the only way to know for sure if you have AvPD is to consult a medical professional. Relating to posts made in this community or scoring high on a screening test does not necessarily mean you have Avoidant Personality Disorder.

Hey friends! Starting today, I'm going to post a new thread every Thursday where we can celebrate the things we've done this week that our disorder may have made difficult.

Did you do anything this week that your AvPD tried to stop you from doing? Tell us about it!

I'll start โ€” I talked with some of my mum's coworkers today! They didn't seem to find me annoying or embarrassing so I think it went well.
