Hi everyone. İ have one question about avpd. İ m not sure that this disorder at me or not. İ just feel like nobody likes me. And when i sit to someone next to chair i feel like s/he just go away just because of me.or when i m go somewhere i feel like disturbing people.is this related to avpd? İf not what kind of disorder is this?
I call it low self esteem low self confidence.

That doesn’t sound like avoidant personality disorder. That sounds like your fear that people are avoiding you, not your need to avoid other people.

This feeling really disturbing.i think i have to share with p doc.thank you very much for feedbacks.
Thank you for support. Unfortunately i couldn t find any solution yet. Because i couldn t know if this thing real or just delusions.i hope this is just delusions. İ have to think rational to find out
Actually, sometimes people can be very stupid and do stuff like that even more if you are a man as they can feel some insecurity LOL, anyway all advice I can give you is don’t worry and be happy, things are gonna be fine, life is one complicated thing but in the end is just about yourself, learn to look for happiness in every moment and don’t worry about others.

Unfortunately i m too sensitive to other people thoughts.so i can not just live like not happened. But i m highly suspected that this is delusions.
Thoughts that they say or thoughts in their heads?
@Moonwalker No i mean delusions not hallucinations.i m not sure this is real or not. Maybe i just think that they not like me but reality they are just neutral to me
Do you happen to also be very sensitive to substances like caffeine? Because that’s my case, I’m very sensitive to everything, people, substances, stress… actually that’s why I developed sz probably, I can get too anxious sometimes, it’s about knowing how to behave and keep the stress under control.

If you think you can know peoples thoughts it can be a delusion, not that you actually hear then
I ment things they say

No i m not hearing other people thoughts in my head. Just guessing their thoughts by their actions.like when i sit someone next to her/him if s/he walk away i think that i just disturbed him her

That’s not a delusion just comprehending other people by their actions like you said, but you still can sometimes be wrong like everybody can, now if you go everytime with the fear that people are gonna avoid you then that’s wrong, like I said before, don’t worry.

Yes this is not healthy.but first i have to find what kind of disorder is this. İ think i have to talk with my p doc first
There’s something like 7 criteria for avoidant personality disorder, and I think you have to meet like at least 4 consistently to be diagnosed. Don’t take my word for it, I’m not a doctor, but I think that’s what they said.
Everybody feels some of the things on the AvPD checklist sometimes though.

Sounds a bit like paranoia
Paranoia?
For example I was at college waiting outside class room and the rest of the students were stood further away from me and I thought that they didn’t like me and giving me the cold shoulder I felt hurt then I realized I was standing outside the wrong room
