I've been previously diagnosed as having generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia, but I think this (seemingly stronger) diagnosis of "avoidant personality disorder" fits me to a tee. From the diagnostic criteria listed on wiki:
> Avoids occupational activities that involve significant interpersonal contact, because of fears of criticism, disapproval, or rejection
I definitely avoid all such activities that I can.
> Is unwilling to get involved with people unless certain of being liked
I suppose this is accurate. I am certain I will not be liked, thus I am sure that attempting to "get involved with people" is something I should not do.
(running out of characters... more coming.)
