ASPD + AvPD culture is getting angry when people vent because it's just so annoying and makes them look so worthless to you, despite knowing that you're just as neurotic as they are, if not moreso.

I wanna go to the gym but I have AVPD and I’m scared of looking like a dumbass trying to figure out machines in the gym or looking like I’m not exercising hard enough or people judging me whatsoever while I do squats and wall push ups cos I’m not sporty at all

dpd (& possible avpd) culture is losing yourself in others and then isolating finding nothing recognisable about yourself.

🌟 How to Practice Self-ERP and CBT for AVPD

Step 1: Identify Your Triggers

What situations do you avoid (e.g., speaking in groups, meeting new people)?

Write them down and rank them by how much anxiety they cause.

Step 2: Start with Small Exposures (ERP)

Pick a low-anxiety trigger and plan to expose yourself to it.

Example: Say hello to a coworker instead of avoiding eye contact.

Resist the urge to “escape” or self-criticize during the exposure.

Celebrate the effort, not the outcome.

Step 3: Challenge Your Thoughts (CBT)

When avoidance or anxiety strikes, ask yourself:

“What’s the evidence that my fear will come true?”

“What’s a more realistic way to view this situation?”

Replace critical self-talk with affirming statements: “I am learning and growing. Perfection isn’t required.”

Step 4: Track Your Progress

Keep a journal of your exposures and thought challenges.

Reflect on your wins, no matter how small.

Step 5: Practice Self-Compassion

Healing takes time, and setbacks are part of the process.

Treat yourself with kindness, as you would a close friend.

💡 The Path to Healing

While AVPD might make the world feel like a scary, judgmental place, it doesn’t define your future. Self-guided ERP and CBT give you the tools to rebuild your relationship with yourself and others, step by step. Over time, those walls of avoidance can come down, revealing a life where connection feels possible—and safe. 🌱💛

avpd culture is being unable to stop fantasizing about the person who Couldve been here if you werent. imagining a person that could be a better friend to your friends, a better partner to your partner, who didnt struggle this badly every single day over every little thing, who didnt make the people they care about constantly worried over their safety. you know, a real, actual Person. a somewhat functional person. if only they had that person instead. even if itll only ever be a fantasy, didnt they deserve that person instead?
