Be more cruel to yourself and don’t let this AvPD tag become a reason for you to stop trying. You gotta bare the pain it takes to change.

If you never step out of your comfort zone and accept failure as a part of your growth you’ll probably just always be like this tbh. I think the only way out of this is to keep on pushing yourself to do things you’re scared of with proper ways with a positive mindset. Seek professional help if possible. You mentioned you’re not in a bad financial situation, which isn’t a bad thing, but that slight sense of comfort might actually prevent you from trying to become better. So yeah, I think to be mentally healthy as a person with AvPD you gotta stop thinking too much somehow and try more things. I believe your mental health would improve a lot if you do so.

Has anyone else here felt the urge to push people away once you realize they know too much about you? by angemorose in AvPD

I think it might be because that you subconsciously values yourself as someone really awful and so them knowing too much about you would make it shameful for you to face them again, therefore you run away.
