10 Symptoms of an Avoidant Personality Disorder
Symptom #10: Sensitive to Criticism
Nobody’s perfect. Even if we were, it would still be impossible to please everybody. There is always somebody who criticizes no matter what we do. Sometimes it is deserved, sometimes not. Dealing with criticism means accepting and learning from it. At the least, we often deal with criticism by being irritated but not hugely affected.
Unfortunately, people with Avoidant Personality Disorder are likely to be very sensitive to criticism. Even the slightest of perceived rebukes can be taken very personally and cause emotional upset. It is the thought of facing criticism that causes many people with the disorder to avoid contact with others altogether.
