Reading reddit posts about avoidant personality disorder, people in their late 30s and 40s who have been living with their parents since high school and have done nothing but hide away and are terrified of the world and feel like children. Thats going to be and theres nothing I can do to stop it.

I have AvPD and while I definitely avoid interacting with anybody as much as humanly possible, I've still moved out of my parents house, have a job, and now own a home. There's only so much you can excuse by being a mentalcel, those ledditors are probably just retarded.

>ate 30s and 40s who have been living with their parents
yeah losers tent to self isolate because they know they are losers. Best to be delusional if you don't want it to be you, or you know actually try in life anon

>>82664095
I dont know bros its like I actually cannot handle regular life, If I do 3 hours of work I feel absolutely mentally destroyed, my mind is constantly anxious while outside, i fuck up every conversation and feel like a weirdo because I am.
>>
>>82664077
if you have a job you dont have avpd, kys
>>
>>82664066
Yep, I'm there and pushing 40 myself. There is no way off 'bux for me, but they will always try to shake me off.
Now they are effectively auditing my bank account, and checking my ID for the second year in a row. It's so exhausting.

>>82664104
genuinely work on your social skills if you want to be more socially skilled. and get meds for your tik tok brain or start mediate etc etc. if you feel tired from work and arent low t, shit diet or shit sleep? then go into an easier line of work
>>
>>82664148
yeah i genuinely think ill need to be cracked out on amphetamines just to function like a regular person, its either that or xanax and alcohol and brain damage at this point. i just see the normal people around me every day and idk how they do it.
>>
>>82664159
so you're confirming you live a degen and surprised you get degen results?
>>
>>82664184
no i actually dont really take drugs and never have, ive been rawdogging life and it has failed so far, i need chemical assistance before i turn 40 and my mom is still buying my groceries
>>
>>82664066
link to thread famala?

>>82664243
there was a few but its the r/avpd subreddit

I'm in that position right now, lightly so.

>shut in since graduating HS
>lived with mom until she passed away in 2023
>was basically a shut-in, would go out once in a blue moon
>very nervous around people
>since her death I'm a little better but still every trip out is an ordeal
>have enough savings for maybe another 5-6 years, past that it's wage slave time or try and get bux.
>>
>>82664284
why not get bux now?
>>
>>82664295
I probably should but I hate any form of social contact and always put everything off to the last possible moment. I still feel immense shame at what I feel is 'cheating' the system to get bux. Midwest upbringing, I feel my mom and grandparents shaming me for it from beyond the grave.

>>82664284
Have you gotten diagnosed "officially"? How was it?
>>
>>82664334
No, well I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD back in school in the 90s but I have never went to a mental health professional. I haven't even seen a medical doctor in around 15 years.
>>
>>82664284
It's really a shame that you have savings to last another 5 years. Once you face the ultimatum of HAVING to do something and being forced out of your comfort, then you'll be able to do it.
>>
>>82664323
i understand that, it took me real long time but around 25 i was just like, more ashamed of not having money than anything else. so i was originally trying to get a job but i ended up on disability anyway. i know it feels so shameful but its also shameful to not make any progress, so you may as well try.

>>82664334
no but im sure i would, i fit all the criteria and this has been persistently my personality since childhood. i used to walk in circles at the school playground so i wouldnt have to talk to other people and embarass myself. and it never went away and has never gotten better even after trying to expose myself and socialise more
>>
>>82664430
I also don't know what to try for. Major depression? the 'tism? The fact that I've successfully lived alone for going on 3 years might have disqualified me from avpd if you could even get bux for that.
>>
>>82664456
if you have a diagnosable condition that helps, anything to make them take you seriously. but it depends what country for sure.
>>
>>82664491
Yeah I'm a burger at the worst possible time to be trying to get bux with Trump and his cronies wanting to throw everyone off.
>>
>>82664508
yeah i heard its tough in the US, just research whatever their criteria is for it and get all the help you can get, theres no shame in it because you actually are mentally ill and you need that help no matter what bureaucratic gatekeeping they put in the way.

i suffered from avoidant personality disorder my whole life until my 30s and blame my dad for being a fucking retard bully to his own kids.

my gf recognizing i was an anxious sperg saved me from roping because i thought she was beautiful and she thought my outer nonchalant/asshole demeanour yet inner intense anxiety was cute. im able to function now because i know somewhere in the world theres one person that cares about me.
>>
>>82665457
How in the fuck did you pull that off? I think that's the only thing that could ever get me over it.

I'm schizoid. I made something of myself professionally but I only did it because I was afraid I'll starve and end up homeless after my parents die. I never wanted to work and now I work to save/invest my way into early retirement. I'm 32 and live with my parents while having enough savings/investments to buy a small apartment in cash. Still, that's money I want to keep investing and saving to retire early, not blow on some empty apartment when I have a mom who cooks every day and I have my own room and zero financial stress.
I still feel like a child. I look like I'm in my early 20s. I sleep 8h a day. I have enough energy to play vidya and exercise every day despite work. And I'm content with it. I don't want to change anything about it at all. I don't want a gf because they're expensive and materialistic. I don't want kids because I hate noise and responsibilities. I just want to be left alone to jack off, play vidya, get drunk sometimes and be free.
