Answer by mikewesten
“Avoidant Personality Disorder” is a psych term used to categorise a number of behavioural traits Psychiatry considers improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a “mental illness”, and promote it as a “disease” that requires “treatment”.

If one considers certain traits to be problematic, relating to shyness or low self-worth and self-esteem, then there are variety of options one can consider without accepting Psychiatry’s BS that one has a “mental illness”, that one is “ill” and that one should reach for so-called “medication” as a so-called solution.

It’s great, then, that you wish to stay clear of Psychiatry. I would, however, consider dropping use of the term “Avoidant Personality Disorder”, as that is an invented psychiatric label that has no substance in science whatsoever.

There are a number of things you can try to handle your issues. Some work better than others, granted, but it is well worth doing as much investigation as possible before deciding on which path to take.

I had similar issues to what psychs deem “APD”, but I handled them swiftly by joining a self-help program and overcoming these barriers through courses and counselling. Amazing stuff.

Other things could include meditation programs, yoga, martial arts, etc. But there are so many different things out there you will certainly need to research them yourself and form your own opinion.

Good luck in your journey!

Mike
