3 signs you are suffering from “avoidant personality disorder”

Always doubting everything and criticizing yourself

People with avoidant personality disorder are often ignored from an early age, so they tend to repeat this in adulthood. They are also often self-critical, self-critical to the point of obsession in most everyday situations, when it is necessary to interact with society.

Desire but at the same time avoid feelings from others

While people with AVPD tend to stay away from social situations, they also crave connection with others.

Turn down the opportunity

People with AVPD often find it difficult to recognize their good qualities, such as their ability to work or their sense of humour. Therefore, when offered opportunities for career advancement or self-expression, they often decline because they think it will reveal their weakness.
