NPD + AvPD Culture Is wanting to become a hermit and not talk to anyone ever again but needing validation and praise from others to live

[avpd--culture-is]

avpd culture is knowing everything about everyone but no one knowing anything about you

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. 🌱💛

npd and avpd culture is simultaneously jumping for joy and jumping off a cliff when someone says “we should hang out more”

[avpd--culture-is]

avpd culture is typing the post/message and then deleting it halfway because of anxiety and fear of being perceived, and what if all this shit is useless and illogical—

.

[cluster-c-pds-culture-is]

questioning avdp culture is getting hit with “so you never had a deep relationship with anyone?” on a second visit to a therapist. like. i thought what i had were deep relationships...

(the therapist were right btw, they weren't)

Avpd culture is

Why am I so scared to see my friend

[avpdcultureis]

AVPD culture is trying so hard to keep up friendships, but never knowing how to keep conversations because what if i say the wrong thing and they start to hate me?

... and then you end up disappearing for hours, then a day, and suddenly you're not sure if they are upset with you for disappearing or not, but the fear of talking to them outweighs everything else.

Hey there, lovely souls. 💛 If you’re living with Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), you know how tough it can be to feel like you’re stuck between wanting connection and being paralyzed by fear of rejection. But here’s the good news: practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques at home can be a game-changer. ✨

CBT is all about challenging negative thoughts and gradually building healthier behaviors, and you don’t need to wait for a therapy session to start making progress. Let’s talk about how you can gently incorporate CBT into your daily life to overcome AvPD.

1. Challenge Negative Thoughts 🧠

AvPD often fills your mind with harsh self-criticism, like:

"I’ll embarrass myself if I try."

"They’re going to judge me."

"I’m not good enough to be here."

Start catching these thoughts when they pop up. Ask yourself:

What evidence do I have for or against this thought?

Is this thought 100% true, or could there be another perspective?

What would I say to a friend if they had this thought?

Write down the kinder, more balanced responses. Over time, this can rewire your brain to be less harsh on yourself.

2. Practice Gradual Exposure 🌟

Avoidance feels safe, but it keeps you stuck. Start small:

Say “hi” to a neighbor or a cashier.

Reply to one text you’ve been avoiding.

Join an online forum or group where you can participate anonymously.

Each little step chips away at the fear. Remember, courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking action despite it.

3. Rewrite the Story 📝

Sometimes we carry painful assumptions from the past, like, “I’ll always be rejected.” Practice rewriting the story:

Reflect on situations where people did accept or value you.

Remind yourself that one bad experience doesn’t define all future interactions.

This helps create space for new, positive experiences to take root.

4. Keep a Success Journal 📖

Every time you do something brave—no matter how small—write it down. Examples:

“I made eye contact with someone today.”

“I went to a social event for 10 minutes.”

“I spoke up in a meeting.”

Reading these wins will remind you how far you’ve come on tough days. 🌈

5. Be Patient with Yourself 💕

Healing takes time, and setbacks are normal. Treat yourself with compassion. Celebrate progress, not perfection. You’re learning to be your own best friend, one step at a time.

✨ Remember: You’re not broken. You’re growing. Practicing CBT at home isn’t just about reducing symptoms—it’s about building a life where you feel safe. ___________
