Ok, so I'm pretty sure this is the place to discuss this sort of topic. I take it from the point of view of somebody that suffers with this disorder that the obvious answer to avoidance in social situations would be extremely frequently, if not all the time.
The question is, how often? Also, how do you deal with it? I know that you can drift very far away from people/friends and end up losing friends even. It seems for me like everytime I get a social invite, even while somebody is still talking about the plans - I've already dismissed the idea in my head and am already thinking of a reason or excuse to decline. So I never or rarely end up going out or socialising.
Anybody else the same?
