Are you familiar enough with what it is like having AvPD and social anxiety?
Here are a few scenarios that can trigger the symptoms:
- When driving there is a higher chance of exposure to people
- There is a higher chance that unknown can happen and you will be anxious
- You are worrying if you are driving too slow
- People beep from behind and you wonder whether there's something wrong with you
- Situation can happen when there are changes to route/construction and you won't know how to respond in order to get to your destination
- If someone bumps into you because you stopped fast on red light there can be a conflict where you and another driver will shout and will trigger social anxiety
And I could go on with this.
