AVPD is like my brain is constantly running a simulation that tries to predict other (hypothetical) people's possible criticisms of every action I take. The simulation is kinda broken so it always returns the worst outcome possible. I can't turn the simulation off. It's trying to predict possible criticisms of a thing I thought about making, that no one would even know about, because I would do it alone in my own house and not show it to anyone. The simulation says everyone would think I'm stupid for it. Everyone WHO you dumb brain machine?????
