Avoidant Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme shyness, feelings of inadequacy, and a strong fear of rejection. People with this disorder often avoid social situations and interactions because they worry about being judged or criticized. This can lead to isolation and difficulties in forming relationships, as they may feel unworthy or inferior compared to others. Individuals with Avoidant Personality Disorder may experience intense anxiety in social settings, which can make everyday activities, like attending work or school, challenging. Treatment options, such as therapy and support groups, can help them build confidence and develop healthier social skills, allowing for more fulfilling connections with others.
