Treatment...
It is now widely believed that recovery from personality disorders is probable, provided the individual recognises, and is willing to work on, their issues.

my social life in a nutshell
>>26923671
it just feels like i can't be anything but who i am. it's all i've ever known and it just feels weird or pointless to feel better. i can't pry myself from all of my self destructive distractions because i am too afraid to do anything new and it's all that makes me feel good. i have no real support

dsm V criteria. Stop projecting panisonic
Research suggests that people with avoidant personality disorder, in common with sufferers of chronic social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia), excessively monitor their own internal reactions when they are involved in social interaction. However, unlike social phobics, they also excessively monitor the reactions of the people with whom they are interacting. The extreme tension created by this monitoring may account for the hesitant speech and taciturnity of many people with avoidant personality disorder; they are so preoccupied with monitoring themselves and others that producing fluent speech is difficult.

3. excessive preoccupation with being criticized or rejected in social situations;
4. unwillingness to become involved with people unless certain of being liked;

i feel like the only thing that could help me is a really really close friend but i am afraid to get too close to dudes because they might think i'm gay and all the women i've met all want to be the one who is held by a strong independent man, not the other way around

A key issue in treatment is gaining and keeping the patient's trust, since people with avoidant personality disorder will often start to avoid treatment sessions if they distrust the therapist or fear rejection. The primary purpose of both individual therapy and social skills group training is for individuals with avoidant personality disorder to begin challenging their exaggerated negative beliefs about themselves

thanks for naming what i have, i thought it was just called "social anxiety", but this definition is exactly what happens to me. wow. i am blown away.
>>26923765
no one speaks to me unless i am the one to initiate conversation. everyone just forgets about me. it feels so stupid to reach out to other people who don't understand even if i tell them how i feel. maybe everyone i've met is just an asshole

the autism comes from my dad and i have other neurological disorders thanks to his drug damaged sperm and my parents neglected my growing up, especially my dad and he'd abuse me all the time.
>tfw you haven't had a real feel in 4 years
Jesus christ you guys are such self serving faggots. Stop self diagnosing on the fucking internet, what you have is called pathetic self pity syndrome.
99% of you. Youre the basic bitches of 4chan, the "I cant connect to anyone because xxxxxxxx" while in reality youre just a typical special snowflake edgy faglord who has let the internet jew tell you to hate anyone who has better social skills than you or whoever doesnt sit around thinking where it hurts today and whose fault it is.
Come back when youre 30+ and you still think youre not just being an edgy moron who hates mum and dad from your boys room.

you're a fat fucking NIGGER
the thing about this is it really isn't a cause so much as a symptom though.
It spawns from parental or social rejection and that tends to come from looks or autistic behavior. At least socially. idk about parental shit.
Friendly reminded: Regular sex will treat this disorder.

I had all of these traits before uni, 3 years in now and ive worked on most of them to the point where the only anxiety i really get in public is when i know a woman notices me and wants me to talk to her, i freeze up, sometimes i might say "how are you miss" but spaghetti my way out of the situation. Its all about your willingness to change, you know youre like this but dont want to be that way, change. If you dont nothing will change
