Avoidant Personality Disorder: In many situations people may act with inhibitions, have difficulty talking about themselves and may tend to hide intimate feelings for fear of exposing themselves, being ridiculed or humiliated.
If you're in a relationship with an avoidant person, you need to realize that when they push you away , it means they’re anxious and trying to repress those negative emotions they’re feeling. It’s for them a difficult situation to manage.
People struggling with Avoidant Personality Disorder are said to tend to withdraw because they are hypersensitive to possible rejection or criticism from others but deep down they crave social interaction.
They may assume that people will be critical and disapprove of them until ‘’they pass rigorous tests’’ that prove otherwise. Thus, before joining a group and forming a close relationship, people with this disorder require repeated reassurances of support and uncritical acceptance.
