Would You Agree You Have Most Of These Symptoms?

[Andrea]

Just found these symptoms on Wikipedia under the "Avoidant Personality Disorder". And I'm just genuinely curious as to how you guys feel about the following characteristics because I feel like I have pretty much all of them. 

• Hypersensitivity to rejection/criticism
• Self-imposed social isolation
• Extreme shyness or anxiety in social situations, though the person feels a strong desire for close relationships^[10]
• Avoids physical contact because it has been associated with an unpleasant or painful stimulus
• Feelings of inadequacy
• Severe low self-esteem
• Self-loathing
• Mistrust of others
• Emotional distancing related to intimacy
• Highly self-conscious
• Self-critical about their problems relating to others
• Problems in occupational functioning
• Lonely self-perception, although others may find the relationship with them meaningful
• Feeling inferior to others
• In some more extreme cases — agoraphobia
• Utilizes fantasy as a form of escapism and to interrupt painful thoughts^[11][12

EDIT: The link if anyone wants to read the main article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant_personality_disorder

Thanks for the all the responses guys! I'm not sure what to make of it either, though :/

• Hypersensitivity to rejection/criticism : yes
• Self-imposed social isolation : I have no desire to have any friends, so I'm going with no on this one.
• Extreme shyness or anxiety in social situations, though the person feels a strong desire for close relationships^{[10]: Anxiety and shyness yes, from being abused. I have no desire for close relationships.} 
• Avoids physical contact because it has been associated with an unpleasant or painful stimulus : no
• Feelings of inadequacy : yes
• Severe low self-esteem : yes
• Self-loathing : yes
• Mistrust of others : yes
• Emotional distancing related to intimacy : I'm asexual, my sexual orientation is not a disorder. 
• Highly self-conscious : yes
• Self-critical about their problems relating to others : yes
• Problems in occupational functioning : I'm disabled, so N/A
• Lonely self-perception, although others may find the relationship with them meaningful : no
• Feeling inferior to others: yes
• In some more extreme cases — agoraphobia : yes although it's from my severe phobias and PTSD
• Utilizes fantasy as a form of escapism and to interrupt painful thoughts^{[11][12 : oh yes, it's helped to stop some pretty severe flashbacks before.}

Maybe APD is like, a symptom or related to MD?

How to explain... Some people say that daydreaming is like and obsession or compulsion (OCD) and apparently some strong OCD meds have helped treat MD (apparently. I couldn't personally say, I haven't tried any)

So maybe APD is a bit like that? Because those answers that I AM 'yes' to, are mostly "a little bit" "Sometimes" type answers .

So I may have very minor APD, just like I suspect I have very minor OCD, and maybe whatever blip in the brain, in whichever place, also slightly affects or CAN slightly affect other parts to cause other disorders, like APD and OCD?

Just a possibility.

I've answered yes to 13 of them. It's very interesting. I'm sure I read somewhere that MD could be associated with some kind of personality disorder xx

Was this a contest?

How could you be dealing with fear of rejecton, eludemyfantasies? According to your photo, you are perfect!

[Andrea]

Thanks! Yeah, I sort of read the symptoms again and realized a lot of them a like the same thing repeated over and over... 

-_-

Okay, here I go

Yes,sort of,no,yes,yes,yes,no,noyes,yes,no,yes,yes,no, sort of. 

I wouldn't say I have this but I do have a horrible self esteem so that is why I answered yes to most of the questions.

Also I don't 100% understand all of these symptoms so that might mess me up some.
