Rejection is wearing on me
Relationship Stress / by thesnail
Last post
 August 5th, 2021
...See more Hi people So I guess I'm here just to vent a bit. Yesterday I had a first date with this woman that I met through a dating app. I've had lots of dates with different women over the years, and mostly it's frustrating, but most of the times there is not really a connection on either side so it's a bearable frustration. But with yesterday's date, I actually liked her, and the date went fine, but she doesn't want to see me again. And now I feel totally unlikeable. This girl in particular, I will have forgotten about her in a few days. But this feeling the there's something in me that people don't like, this feeling is always with me. And when it gets intensified by a rejection like this, I feel like any effort to improve is pointless.

I have AvPD
Personality Disorders Support / by thesnail

...See more I've not been diagnosed with any particular disorder (yet) but I'm 99% sure I have AvPD. What I've read about it couldn't fit me better. Now, the though part about this is that it seems, from what I've read, that I can't get cured. Being a personality disorder, this is just how I am. I've been fighting this shit for more than ten years now. I've been with six different professionals (not counting attempts at meditation, acupuncture and even Bach flowers), none of them diagnosed anything and most of them didn't even mention the prognosis. I can see reasons for avoiding diagnostics (which are just labels, after all), but, if it can be safely assumed that most of my issues will persist for all of my life, why nobody told me about it? My fight against this is by far the single most important thing in my life and I've been continuously discouraged by my lack of progress in it. Anybody with the same issues? I'd love to hear from you. I'm going to sleep now. There's really nothing else to do until the holiday season has passed and I can find a good psychiatrist.
