Hmm.. I haven’t been here much in this forum. Personally, I think that it would be easier to spot who has Avpd and who maybe doesn’t.. in a real life support group.. and of course Avpd isn’t the only dx that some people have...CPTSD for example.

I agree with whoever wrote that going for professional help for anxiety disorders is very hard and ... anxiety provoking. And if the atmosphere isn’t welcoming to some of those who are trying to learn about a disorder online...or if some feel the atmosphere isn’t welcoming.. it could be about them.... they may be even more reluctant to access professional help/support.

Especially if, as is not uncommon in this forest, (Not USA) they have been hurt by professionals before. The client/patient may be “too sensitive” - in the clinicians perception.. or the clinician may be insensitive.
