THat sounds like me in middle school. I remember being goofy and social at times and even going up to other kids in school. But then for some reason these excuses started popping up for why i shouldnt do this or say that. And so it was the same person inside me but somthing was telling me just hold off. just wait dont say anything. Its some weird shit, i just thought i was fucked up
I was avoidant when i was a teenager but now theres a big schizoid part of me, i liked being alone but every now and then id get sad thinking about how everyone else lives with constant stimulation and waves going in and out at each moment in their life and i was just sitting in a swamp stagnating.But then i started spending so much time alone thinking, philosophizing and analyzing that i realized the truth. And now i dont care anymore ive turned into a rock. I just want to live like a monk
Avoidant personality Disorder
I have avoidant personality disorder and this is SO freaking sad… Especially watching the guy sitting all alone in his rocking chair… that is like my biggest fear : that I’m going to be some crazy old cat lady no one cares about who dies in her house and isn’t found until a year later or something
I was always shy but not avoidant like i am today. I used to be loud, funny, clever and sarcastic around everyone but after my dad died it’s like i crawled into a hole of depression and didnt fully escape. The confidence is there in me to be myself but for some reason i hide it around people it it fucking sucks.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing…
I feel like I just watched my life.
Same here. That and I have Asperger’s so I feel very left out of things.
who ever made this, thank you. it helped me express to my mental health team about how i am all of the time. this video spoke for me since i cant find words to share what its actually like to live like this.
Omg when they showed him of and grey in his rocking chair still alone I almost lost it. There has to be a solution I dont want to grow old alone
it’s so hard to be me
You know aome people only avoid others so they wont be affected by group mentality.
I recomend you to try the “Lifelong Success Program” by Igor A. Ledochowski. It has helped me to make positive changes in the way i think and i am sure it will also help you
I cried. The funny thing is that the Internet has let some of us who feel this way have the opportunity to discuss this, but once we turn off our electronics and go into the real world, it’s different. Away from the computer, I can’t talk to people. The fear of rejection is to much for me.
I have this and I’ve never in my life met someone else who has it, or who I’ve suspected of having it. No one understands and thinks I’m not trying hard enough, or that I’m antisocial and don’t care.
I feel more happy being alone though..
rafiki: lolol WHAT WAS THAT?!
Idk but from my opinion, there is a slight link between AvPD and BDD.
I went to the hospital explaining I was suffering from this mental disorder. They made me feel so much better and recommended me to visit a medical clinic. There is help for people with Avoidant personality disorder.
Does anyone know if there is a link between AvPD and Incel? The two appear related.
It has been my experience when talking to others in an online AvPD group that abuse is a common thread for avoidants, however it seems that peer bullying and abuse at the hands of peers is just as if not more prominent than family abuse. Not to say that family abuse, or neglect, or abandonment are not also causes for AvPD. It’s just my experience.
What is the point of lashing out at a world that will only see you as just another statistic?
imagine being aware of the fucked up world we live in mixed with this, you know the zeitgeist, corporatism, the Illuminati, food, products….singularity
yeah I also suffer from this disorder and I feel like destroying the world rather than commit suicide cause no one will give a shit about you if you kill yourself except for your own family and maybe a few friends you might have.
You know, I think physical appearance and/or family abuse has a lot to do with this mental disorder. And of course the environment.
