Remember that not everyone with AvPD is conventionally quiet.
We all avoid things differently, and some people may talk a lot in some or all situations because it makes them feel less vulnerable. That doesn’t mean they don’t have AvPD or that their AvPD is less “severe.”
AvPD isn’t social anxiety plus. Because of that, the type of interaction often plays a major role in our fear. For some, the only situations that bring them fear are ones that involve personal connection. For most, all situations are terrifying, but we’ve had to learn to hide it or overcompensate in most. If we can’t hide it, it means we are completely unable to cope.
The impact a disorder has on a person can’t be determined by its visibility.
can attest to this. I can talk a lot in person or in a call.
I hate situations where I am expected to act a certain way or someone who expected me to be something I am not. Especially relatives or people who knew me IRL.
Other than that what better way than to just eliminate those people from existing in the first place (not forming any meaningful connection)
also avpd itself is so hard to diagnosed in clinical settings lol.
