What Is Avoidant Personality Disorder?
4. Exaggerating Problems
We all have problems in life from time to time. Sometimes they can be very serious and, at other times, they are only very minor. Most of the time, the main thing is to deal with the problem so it has less of an impact on your life and hopefully passes with no serious damage done. That is not so easy for a lot of people, however.
Handling problems can be particularly difficult for patients with avoidant personality disorder. The patient is likely to exaggerate the seriousness of the problem, and even minor issues can seem like major concerns to them.
