Welcome!

/c/avpd is a support community for individuals who suffer from Avoidant Personality Disorder and their loved ones. If you or someone you care about has AvPD, this is a safe space where you can talk about it.

Self-diagnosed and self-suspecting individuals are welcome to join and participate, however please keep in mind that the only way to know for sure if you have AvPD is to consult a medical professional. Relating to posts made in this community or scoring high on a screening test does not necessarily mean you have Avoidant Personality Disorder.
