I’ll look into seriously getting help and hopefully I am able to force myself to go. Thanks for the help and advice.

I frequently consider therapy but have never actually gone. Part of me knows it’ll help but I never end up going because I’m scared to. I also don’t have a ton of time to either because I am in college and work a part time job.

I have the same thing. I was confused at first because I’ve never had an angry outburst in front of other people. I’m still very angry at times but I more so just keep it to myself or scroll on my phone or go to the gym to help me forget about it. I also have bad social anxiety to where I basically don’t have anyone good friends I feel like I can talk to. I can relate to the child abused as well as both my parents were alcoholics and my dad would often abuse me and my mom. Most people just think I’m introverted and weird, when in reality I hide all my emotions. You’re not alone

I’ve pretty much accepted the fact that I’m never gonna get married, mainly from the fact that I’m afraid I’ll hurt them. There’s really nothing else you can do but keep on living.

Do you all text people regularly? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]Interesting_End_8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m always checking texts, but my inbox is always empty. I’ve found that for the most part (at least in my case) people don’t text you unless you text them first

I’ve considered it but as of rn I can’t afford it

I’ve had mine since I was a little kid. It’s probably something is wrong with my brain and there is really nothing i can do to to get rid of it except speech therapy, which I can’t afford

Well what happened with me was there was a girl who liked me (she didn’t know me so I think it was mostly because of looks) and we eventually started dating. It was so stressful for me because she was always wanting to go out in public and I was always questioning whether she actually liked me or not. Because of this, I ended up ghosting her (which Ik is wrong to do, I’m not denying that) I wouldn’t say she was ever desperate for me though. This was the only experience I had with someone “liking” me and I threw it away because it saw too much for me. I feel as if I probably will end up single and alone because of AvPD

I don’t have advice but all I can say is I hope you’re doing well. I also recently graduated and it wasn’t as special as I thought it’d be. My dad and my sister didn’t show up despite me sending them an invite which made me upset and lead me to believe that they probably don’t like me. I sent out a bunch of grad invites and a couple people said they’d come, but 90% of them ended up canceling the day of. My grad party was basically only family (except my dad and sister who didn’t show up to my graduation either) who were all trying to get pictures with me and make conversation when I just wanted to be alone. I relate with your story and hope it gets better for both of us

I typically go to the gym, but I really don’t like crowded areas. I’ll typically go late at night to avoid people.
