What Is Avoidant Personality Disorder?
5. Withdrawal
People with avoidant personality disorder can find that they don’t want to be around other people. They would rather remain at home alone where they won’t have to stay around other people. If they live with other people then they might choose to stay in their room alone rather than socialize with others.
Human beings are sociable animals and it is important for individuals to be around other people. Withdrawing from social contact can therefore cause further problems for the patient as it can potentially result in other mental health issues. If you do notice that somebody is withdrawing socially then you should do what you can to help where possible.
