I don't really experience anxiety when I am in social situations, and that's whats really making me question if I have AvPD or not. Is it possible to have AvPD but not have anxiety?
Like, for me, I don't constantly worry beforehand about having to meet someone. I of course don't like meeting people, and it is extremely uncomfortable for me when I am around people though.
Like, I feel like they are being rude or mean or don't like me or that they think I'm disgusting, when in reality they probably don't even think anything like that. I just feel like people are just so judgemental of me and feel that I am not as good as they are.
Like, I feel like people think I act wierd or I feel like they think I'm wierd, and I'm always self-conscious and obsessed with thinking that they are judging me and looking at me like I'm a loser.
I suffer from schizophrenia as well, so I don't know if this is just the paranoia aspect of my schizophrenia, or if this is because I actually do suffer from AvPD as well.
I really feel like I do have AvPD, but the criteria doesn't exactly fit me perfectly but I do share many common symptoms.
Can anyone else tell me if maybe you've experienced what I've experienced and whether or not this seems like I have AvPD symptoms or if you think it is just because of my schizophrenia.
