This is my first post. I am delving into the dangerous world of self diagnosis since my therapist doesn't like labels. I seem to fit AvPD in every way with exception to the fantasy world.
I do not now nor have I ever in the course of my life had a fantasy world. Although I do play a lot of video games but not RPG games. I suppose it could be argued that this could substitute a fantasy world. I do sometimes play out scenes in the games in my head but mostly in reflection of what occured during a game that day.
So is that absolutely necessary for a diagnosis? Some other traits i have that seem to fit are:
Low self esteem
Self loathing
Unworthy of relationships/avoidance
agoraphobia
