    Well shit, I’ve found my people! Not that I’m interested in getting to know anyone but it’s good to feel part of a group, anonymously and without conversation

      I do actually have AvPD. I was diagnosed at the same time as I was with ADHD (at 35), and it was really a huge surprise to me that I had this whole disorder that I wasn’t even aware of. I had barely left my house in the four years leading up to that, so maybe I should have had an inkling lol.

      I have to say that either my experience with AvPD is extremely different than what’s often presented, or a lot of “experts” don’t really understand what they are talking about. Dr. Honda knows what he’s talking about, though. Thank you for sharing ^^

    Doctor k definition knows what he’s talking about but his treatment methoss are outright bs. His advice is pretty good tho.

    It’s fascinating how someone could be so knowledgeable and smart while also being dumb.

        His spirituality and pseudoscience bs like Ayurveda and past lives. He does disclaim when he talks about these topics but it reduces his merit in my opinion. He should be like the decent standard you can compare your local psych to.
