Are people with avoidant personality disorder misunderstood socially and professionally, and how does this manifest? Well, yes they are misunderstood a lot. Their friends and social contacts will not realize they their friend is avoiding sharing anything personal. If a friend is concerned with them, they will invest a lot of effort in correcting and persuading their friend that there is no problem. They are good at staying undercover. The same applies to professional contacts.... They are very good at hiding, following the rules and mechanically meeting expectations. Only in marriage do you get partners who realize something is wrong; this isn’t a real marriage. This may take a lot of time. The marital partner feels vague dissatisfaction but can’t put a finger on it. The avoidant personality is again very good at hiding while complying outwardly. Do you know the story about the Stepford Wives? The Avoidant wife could be compared to a Stepford wife - mechanically meeting all expectations but consistently avoiding all intimacy. One may be confused by their appropriate and friendly outward appearance and the potential for real love and bonding with the avoidant person or in their marriage.

Emptiness is a condition of the human spirit. The human spirit is your personal core. It is core to your identity, bonding, empathy, and emotional resilience. Feeling empty is an indication that one’s human spirit is off-line, not available, shut down. To confirm this see if it is accompanied by: * less empathy - feeling what other’s feel, * less sense of being present to others,... * less intuition about your life and * some confusion about who you are, what is your purpose, etc. See more
