I suppose it makes sense. I have no close friends and I completely avoid social situations unless I have to be in them. It would explain why I always feel like the center of (negative) attention in any given room, or why I always feel like I'm annoying people or that I sound smug.
The doctor told me people with AVPD often have trouble understanding who they are as a person, and can't latch onto specific identities, but I haven't thought about that much. The pamphlet and stuff I'm reading online also seems to suggest AVPD has such overlap with social/general anxiety they're almost the same thing.
Anyone else have experience with this?
Just like me for real. I don't even try to do anything about it I just disassociate around people and drink and smoke myself into a stupor when I'm alone. The plan is basically to just drink myself to an early grave so it's not really suicide
I don't want you to hurt yourself
