My avoidant personality disorder is ruining my life. Does anyone with AVPD have tips for forming relationships and just living a normal life?

What helps me most is forced socialization, and being particular about the types of people I choose to see. Since I'm sensitive about social rejection and being picked on, I have a pretty strict 'No Assholes' policy. If I sense that someone is pulling weird social heirarchy shit with me I characteristically avoid them. But I push myself to socialize and meet people as much as I can so I can find the non-assholes and become friends with them.

I prefer to seek out groups where people have likely experienced some form of bullying themselves, or have the humility/emotional control to not shit on other people for stupid reasons. A lot of hobby based groups can be like this depending on the mix of people.
