Yes, there is a diagnosis titled
Avoidant Personality Disorder. This type of personality will often avoid
public, since they fear that the people will reject them, disappoint them,
humiliate them, or view them as a complete failure. They often are reluctant to
ask for help, ask questions, or speak in public. They also work below their
abilities since promotions are often frightening for them.
Most times, they suffer
inferiority complexes, and suffer severe episodes of loneliness, depression,
anxiety attacks, and so forth. Schizoid personality types are similar, in the
sense, they will avoid public, and however avoidant personality types do not
have a need to socialize. We are discussing this disorder simply because I have
to question the idea of this disorder in the first place.
After studying an individual
with multiple personality disorder (MPD), and noticing that the individual
displayed avoidant behaviors in certain areas of the persons personality, I
noticed that the person was not frightened of social, rather abused and neglect
by the father and by the system. The person was raised by a paranoid
schizophrenia that taught her or punished her when she would go in the public,
or else visit another home.
When the person was able to
befriend others the father, moving to another area, instantly swept her away. The
young woman was different in the sense she had multiple personalities, so it
was easier to fix the problem by integrating the personality that suffered the
symptoms of avoidant. After Integration I noticed a tremendous change, in that
the person enjoyed being around people to a degree. However, this woman was
intelligent and wise to the system that she set boundaries in social
engagements.
This is only one individual with
over 70 personalities, so it made me wonder if avoidant personality disorder
was proper in some cases. I have to reason that people with avoidant
personality types may have a foundation that is not explored to the degree that
it should be explored. The system alone and how others treat others sometimes
is enough to make anyone want to avoid public.
It is important to examine all aspects of the
symptoms before coming to the conclusion that the person has avoidant
personality disorder. Most all (rather all) individuals with a mental disorder
or illness has an underlying root which in all cases is FEAR. Once an expert
works through those fears dealing with one at a time moving onto the next fear,
then mental illnesses is only a state of mind.
It is possible to treat mentally ill,
disorders with therapy alone, and is more effective if the techniques used are
appropriate to the diagnose and worked properly. Not everyone with a mental
illness needs medications. Paranoid Schizophrenics, Bipolar, and a few other
disorders or mental illnesses in my experience needed medication. Paranoid
Schizophrenias definitely should be medicated. If you do not medicate a
Paranoid Schizophrenic, you are only asking for trouble. These types will kill
out of their own state of mind, simply because they believe someone is trying
to hurt them, when in reality they are not.
Not all schizophrenics kill, but
there are known cases, including the Oklahoma Bomber that has killed. Avoidant
personality disorders are easy to undo without medications, simply because the
root of their symptoms is fear. We can start therapeutic treatment by working
with the deepest fear the person displays.
Talk therapy, role-play, and a
few other therapeutic strategies could do wonders for people with avoidant
personality disorders. It is important to listen to these types, since the
problem lies beneath the voices that speak. When a person is telling you that
he or she has a problem with socialization, we know that underneath those words
is a fear that was cultivated by an incident/accident at childhood
We know that this person had
endured some underdevelopment and lacks education and knowledge of the
so-called normal ways. This person if taught or relearned the rules and
regulations of society can in time socialize without problems. If we work
through the problems without burying them with medications, we are most likely
going to have fewer problems.
