So i was diagnosed with social anxiety, but not avpd. Although i can relate more to the avpd. Just wanted opinions on whether or not i may have avpd.

Around the age of 7, i was very shy around other kids, and would spend most of my time by myself. One time the teacher asked me to take something to another classroom and i burst into tears because it meant i had to go into ...

I'm suicidal and I'm going to talk about my 3 bits of me. If that hasn't triggered you, you're probably safe to keep reading.
