Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I would like to know how did you came to know you have avoidant personality disorder? Even experienced psychiatrists find it difficult to diagnose personalities just because there are only about 16 thoroughly researched and mentioned. But can you imagine how many are there?

Please do not diagnose mental disorders yourself. That can create more anxiety and stress than you imagine. Such a diagnosis can make you obsessive. Let a psychiatrist or psychologist do it for you. Please.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
