Regardless of your take on AvPD, any man that feels they are suffering in this fashion should be encouraged to seek help and to heal, just as a woman with AvPD should do as well. I think the viewpoint that men cannot or should not experience these sorts of thoughts because it would make them "less of a man" can prevent some men from getting help.


you are really good at telling people how things should be, and what they should and should not do.

I was diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder when I was disagnosed with Asperger's.

CORRECTION: It was "avoidant personality traits" listed as a subset of "Depressed Personality Disorder"
