working/self-esteem

I graduated from college almost 2 years ago and I'm finally going to interview somewhere...for a retail position. Should I feel proud of myself for making an effort or ashamed for not only avoiding it for so long, but potentially becoming a college-educated cashier?

Is low self-esteem a fundamental part of avoidant personality disorder or is there anyone who doesn't consider his/her self-esteem to be that low? Because it's seeming to me like with the ...

Avoidant am I?

Never been much for this kind of stuff but I figured I should give it a try and see if letting my thoughts out, besides just in my diary, would help me get over some of my issues.

I guess I should start by saying that I cant believe how long I went without realizing that I have this kind of personality disorder. My therapist's have said everything in the book but what I truly ...

Lack of sleep sideffects

I've noticed that if i pull an all-nighter, the next day i may feel physically tired and such but i allso feel much more relaxed and self-confident in my dealings with people.

Cat door

My new cat has been bugging me to go out at all kinds of odd times. So I poked around in the garage and found the cat door I got for my previous cat. He would never use it.

We don't meet on daily basis, but without knowing that they are there for me, the ...

talking

Dunno if I got an avoid personality disorder or not. The first therapist I went to said "you possibly got a schizoid personality disorder". I didn't like her, so I stopped the therapy, went for a while without one, then was looking for a new therapist. He said "schizoid personality disorder makes no sense at all. You got slight chronic depressions and probably didn't get the love you needed as child". I went to him ...
