Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with avoidant personality disorder desire close social relationships and often have a strong fear of rejection or criticism, leading to extreme upset when they are unable to establish these relationships. They tend to avoid social situations due to their fear of being judged negatively or ridiculed, and may come across as overly shy or inhibited. They are not typically emotional or dramatic like individuals with borderline personality disorder, nor are they impulsive or self-destructive. They are also not exploitive in nature.
