Do I have a personality disorder?

Hi. First of all, this might be long, so please bare with me.

I'm 15 years old, and ever since middle school started (I'm now in high school), I've been very quiet and a loner. I don't talk to anybody in school unless they talk to me first. I don't have any problem talking to people, but the thing is that whenever I talk to somebody, I can't keep the conversation going because it's usually not a topic that interests me. I can only be who I really am with my only friend and my close family (dad, mom & sis). Around them, I can be witty, sarcastic, talkative and generally funny. I'm not like that with other people I barely know (for example, classmates) because I can't express myself well. I'm not insecure or anything. I think I'm good looking, and so do other people. These past years, I stay home about 24/7. I barely go out. I haven't always been like this, before I turned 13, I used to have a lot of friends and could hang out with basically anybody.

Do I have any particular personality disorder or am I just introverted?

You might have AVPD, but 15 years old is too early for a diagnosis of it. For now, have fun with your friends and be happy, introversion isnt a bad thing :)
 
I just wanna say, I just as well could have written this, because it describes me PERFECTLY. And I was also wondering today if I have AvPD or if I'm just introverted. From what you've written, I think it could be either one. I guess it just depends on the severity.
