I'm 17 now, and basically whenever I'm outside in a fairly crowded area I just get the idea that people walking past me must be looking at me and thinking badly of me. So I start thinking, maybe there's something on me? What if the way I'm walking is stupid? Then I can't stop thinking about it, I know it sounds silly, but these are the thoughts that run through my head at the times.
I started feeling like this throughout High School till I dropped out, then it got worse when my 2 friends went onto College and Uni, to the point that I'm scared of calling them in case they're too busy or got bored of me, so I rarely find any reason to bother going outside now.
Is it possible I have AvPD? Most of it is a lot like me, but I don't really have any major trouble going in crowded areas, and from what I read Avoidants do whatever they can to avoid them situations.
Sorry for the maybe excessive detail, I just wanted to make things clearer.
Probably not gonna get an answer, but hopefully.
