10 Symptoms of an Avoidant Personality Disorder
Symptom #6: Attachment Anxiety
Most of us would find it very difficult if we were abandoned by the ones we love. Such events can be extremely hurtful and take some time to recover. Even so, we tend not to dwell on the possibility of abandonment. Instead, we tend to go through our relationships without really thinking of being abandoned much at all, except for those that have Avoidant Personality Disorder.
Somebody with the disorder is likely to be preoccupied with the thought of being abandoned for much of the time. Even in a healthy relationship the anxiety can begin to take over. It can even get to the point where it can put a strain on the relationships that they don’t want to lose.
