Avoidant PD and borderline PD can coexist!. Some therapists believe that when the acting out type symptoms of a disorder like BPD (ie self-destructiveness, anger outbursts, etc) begin to settle, then personality disorders from cluster 'c' become more obvious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Avoidant personality disorder (APD or AvPD)[1] or Anxious personality disorder (APD)[2] is a personality disorder from the DSM handbook, characterized by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction!. People with avoidant personality disorder often consider themselves to be socially inept or personally unappealing, and avoid social interaction for fear of being ridiculed, humiliated, rejected or disliked!. They typically present themselves as loners and report feeling a sense of alienation from society!.
Avoidant personality disorder is usually first noticed in early adulthood, and is associated with perceived or actual rejection by parents or peers during childhood!. Whether the feeling of rejection is due to the extreme interpersonal monitoring attributed to people with the disorder is still disputed!.
