Avoidant Personality Disorder

This is the quintessential robot personality disorder. Anyone been diagnosed? Anyone think they have it?

Not having a Cluster A personality disorder.
I shiggy diggy

I have Schizoid personality disorder, all of the being alone, none of the being lonely.

I'm schizoid too. When I go out I get nervous when people are loud around me or they get too close. might be "schizoid with avoidant tendencies" or whatever.

I thought schizoid personality disorder was the quintessential robot personality disorder ("schizoid people often experience feeling 'like a robot' or 'going through life in a dream.'"). Then again, there's debate on whether schizoid and avoidant are simply different expressions of the same disorder (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_avoidant_behavior). Interestingly, "new research shows that both PDs are linked to hypersensitivity."
"According to the current DSM (DSM-5, APA, 2013), individuals with schizoid personality disorder reportedly do not desire relationships because of deficits in their capacity to relate meaningfully with others whereas individuals with avoidant personality disorder reportedly desire relationships but fear rejection, shame, and humiliation. This conception leaves two abnormal, maladaptive sub-types of introversion: schizoid withdrawal and avoidant withdrawal:

(1) Social withdrawal based on anxious-fearfulness is considered avoidant
(2) Social withdrawal based on apathy, anhedonia, and indifference as well as a preference for solitude is considered schizoid." I don't know if I desire relationships or not. I am very challenged to achieve self awareness. This makes me feel more schizoid-like, although I do struggle with social anxiety. But, from my understanding, schizoid and social anxiety are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps I've fortified my true self so intricately, I've forgotten how to access it.

i think i might have it but i dont really know, and i wouldnt be able to bring the topic up with anyone so

How do I go about getting a diagnosis? This is me in a nutshell. I've brought it up with my psychiatrist a few times but he's fucking useless and doesn't do anything for me. I also only see him for at max 10 minutes every 6 months.

I once brought up a concern that i might have bpd with my therapist and he laughed at me when i asked, safe to say i soon quit therapy

i fucking hate when people laugh at me

you don't know that you have a mental illness/disorder -that has some sort of delusion in it- if you actually have one you retarded failure.
