Observe keenly that your child is not the victim of AVPD?
An avoidant personality disorder is a relatively common disorder that is associated with significant distress, impairment, and disability. It is a chronic disorder with an early age at onset and a lifelong impact.
The unfortunate thing is, AVPD is underrecognized and poorly studied.
As the term refers, AVPD is characterized by feelings of extreme social inhibition, inadequacy, and sensitivity to negative criticism and rejection.
Sometimes symptoms involve more than simply being shy or socially awkward. Avoidant personality disorder causes significant problems that affect the ability to interact with others and maintain relationships in day-to-day life.
