UCSI (Part B) Avoidant Personality Disorder
Avoidant personality disorder (APD or AvPD)or Anxious personality disorder (APD) is a personality disorder from the DSM handbook, characterized by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction. People with avoidant personality disorder often consider themselves to be socially inept or personally unappealing, and avoid social interaction for fear of being ridiculed, humiliated, rejected or disliked. They typically present themselves as loners and report feeling a sense of alienation from society.
Avoidant personality disorder is usually first noticed in early adulthood, and is associated with perceived or actual rejection by parents or peers during childhood. Whether the feeling of rejection is due to the extreme interpersonal monitoring attributed to people with the disorder is still disputed.

  • Nice little details in this vid, like pkbarbiedoll said, even down to when she's fidgeting with her fingers in the counsellor's office - I do that at all my appointments! Sarah's lucky to have a friend that actually cares about her, though; the few friends I have don't listen to me when I try to explain my problem and just laugh and say I'm being paranoid.

  • I want to encourage u... take care ya (^.^)... hope that one day u find a friend that really understand u (^.^)

  • Thanks a lot (^.^)

  • @The5t0ne0fDaniel2

    You're encouaging ppl with APD to scream in public?

  • Lol...nice video but I don't know if id recommend curling up in a ball in front of your boss!

  • Everyone laughed at me too. you have to learn to "correct" them. my break through all started at a service station one day when i snapped and screamed at everyone. I stand by publically making a fool of yourself and screaming at people. They do nothing to help you in your shyness, and most of them are addicted to dope and child molestors,let them have it.

    DISCIPLINE,, WE need some DISCIPLINE IN HERE. scream at the police too. i drink my coffee today with police and got ACLU lawsuit on them.

  • These movies cover a great deal of my life. You know, we need more Virginia Tech massacres here in America. People need to reach out to shy persons, but inside their minds, they want to be a certain way. The TV mind control has turned off their love and tribal instincts to protect the tribe. They have no reward waiting on the otherside,the way they treated people when they were alive. they will say at the funerals they loved kittens and ice cream, but people are cold hearted.can't be loving?
