I think I have an avoidant personality disorder. I didn t want to go into an physical doctor s office, so this is the place right? I originally thought I had a paranoid disorder but I took a bunch of tests and they all said I had an avoidant personality disorder, but wanted to make sure by an actual doctor. I m always thinking about the death of my family, Im so terrified. I find myself shaking at the thought of them dying before I do. I m not really scared of dying myself, but when it comes to them I m so scared and paranoid. As a child I would go with my parents EVERYWHERE because i thought that if they died in a car crash or something, that i would be there to die too. i was so scared. it s not like that anymore, i don t follow my mum everywhere but i m still shaky all the time. now i don t leave the house very often at all tbh. i also never speak to people first in fear that they ll hate me for it or they ll find me annoying, and i only find it easy to talk to people if i m 100% sure they like me. i m scared of being in a relationship in fear of not being enough. i also have depression, i m not sure if that makes it more likely or whatever, i was saying just incase. i don t want to make it seem like a big deal so i ll also say that a lot of the times i m okay, but when i do feel like that it s pretty bad. can you tell me if i do have an avoidant personality disorder?
