  1. hi..
    you are right, you do have AvPD. It is also associated with varying degrees of anxiety.It is definitely curable and it needs varying your lifestyle and co-operation from your friends and family as well.You should start from yourself,You should talk with yourself,try to express yourself,may be in front of a mirror. Then you can start having small but substantial conversations with the person with whom you feel comfortable and close enough,like any friend or a family member. Then you can make a group of 3-4 friends and start talking to each other . each one should get equal amount of time to express . In this way, you can gradually socialise nicely and start feeling comfortable even in a crowd of many people.
    thanks

  2. HI
    THIS HAPPENS OUT OF ANXIETY RELATED DEPRESSION. MAY BE A CHILDHOOD MENTAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA MAY HAVE CAUSED IT.
    YOU NEED TO TALK TO YOUR COUNSELLOR . GET OVER THE FEAR THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR MIND. GRADUALLY BUT SURELY YOU WILL GET OVER IT
