Avoidant Personality Disorder

I'm starting to think I have this, I almost completely avoid situations that give me anxiety. I can barely have a conversation with a girl my age, let alone initiate one. If its someone I don't know, not gonna happen. Well, very rarely. And you can forget public speaking (I know thats a common one). I want to get on benzos, at least for a little while and see if they help me out. Anyone tried this?

I know exactly how you feel. Benzos usually work for a little while but your body gets used to them and you can also become dependent on them.

Im finding the avoident crap the hardest thing to get over
I just bury my hand in the sand with everything
I dont even check the mail box coz i dont wanna deal with any letters

Defiantly an avoider myself. I get stressed very easily and I don't handle it well. The best way of coping for me is to just avoid it. I'm also a big procrastinator of important things. I'm just too afraid to fail because failure for me = lots of stress.
