This thread was too long to read through, so I don't know if someone mentioned it, but Lars and the Real Girl. Sure, he gets all delusional, but if that's not AvPD he's suffering from, I don't know what it is.

Also Jim Carrey's character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I don't know if that was mentioned either.

Yeah, saw it in a search after I posted (hurr, I'm smart). I absolutely recommend you see it. :D

I saw lars and the real girl a while ago. I think he would be suffering from schizophrenia not avpd, but it's been a while since i've saw it so i could be wrong.

No, definitely didn't seem like schizophrenia at all, definitely more like desperate AvPD and denial, not even true delusion. I mean, it was definitely fictional, but still quite a caricature.

Ivan Shatov in Dostoevsky's The Possessed (aka The devils/demons) is somewhat an avoidant. He is interesting because he is also a character (perhaps the only in the novel) who stands up for what he thinks is right, I loved the way he was portraited.

I just had to point out that Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion is really starting to get on my nerves. :evil:

I'm only on episode 11, so hopefully she'll be more nice to Shinji later on.

Make sure you watch "The end of evanglion" which is a remake of episodes 25, 26. and the death/rebirth which helps you understand the end better.

I will be sure to do that. Thanks for the tip.

no, shes a different kind of tragic character, her annoying personality is kind of part of it...

I watched that show a long time ago, but I didn't really click with the characters until I watched some episodes again recently. The psychology is the most interesting part to me now.

I always liked asuka though :p
