Is AvPD just a severe case of SA or are they different. I mean I know 99% that I have AvPD but not really as much for SA. I've never had a anxiety attack (or at least not a big on as far as I know) and I'm not sure if I feel that anxiety on a everyday basis. I'm so good at avoiding things I almost feel comfortable in everyday life. What does every one else think?
Avoidant Personality Disorder - Social Anxiety Disorder and Avoidant Personality Disorder
"If left untreated, APD can lead to impairment in functioning in most areas of a person’s life"
What's that supposed to mean?
Avoidant Personality Disorder
"we can see that the person has given up altogether on facing situations that generate fear and does not undergo anxiety attacks simply because she avoids any anxiety-generating situation that is possible. Additionally, she does everything possible not to be noticed."
Yup, that sounds like me most of the time
Avoidant Personality Disorder and Social Phobia - Personality Disorders
"Different studies looking at how many people with Avoidant Personality Disorder meet criteria for Social Phobia, according to Lynn Alden and colleagues, range from 42% to 100%"
So all people AvPD have SA according this study?
