ah okay then I'm an introvert I suppose. I don't have a problem with people and can talk to them just fine its just my preference to be independent and by myself but on the same hand when I do socialize with people I try to aviod personal relationships mainly because I find it difficult to express empathy towards anyone really.

Yep that's what it's like being an introvert, and most of the time introverts have a few very close friends instead of a large group of buddies. There are exclusions in every case though, and iirc APD is more about the anxieties and fears present when faced with unwarranted social interactions.

then I guess I have this fucking Avoidant Personality Disorder because I generally try to avoid personal relationships with anyone but I'd hardly call it a disorder. That sounds like other people that have it just want to sounds like they're special
Yeah, you don't seem to qualify.

Symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder
Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to what other people think about them, and social inhibition. It typically manifests itself by early adulthood and includes a majority of the following symptoms:

    Avoids occupational activities that involve significant interpersonal contact, because of fears of criticism, disapproval, or rejection
    Is unwilling to get involved with people unless certain of being liked
    Shows restraint within intimate relationships because of the fear of being shamed or ridiculed
    Is preoccupied with being criticized or rejected in social situations
    Is inhibited in new interpersonal situations because of feelings of inadequacy
    Views themself as socially inept, personally unappealing, or inferior to others
    Is unusually reluctant to take personal risks or to engage in any new activities because they may prove embarrassing
Even though at me age its impossible to tell, I fit the bill for most of those. I hope when I get older I don't have a disorder.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I'm no expert, but plenty of disorders aren't that bad. It's not like you lack control over your body and mind, you can still overcome these things in some form with effort and conviction that you can do it.

For example, when I was being tested for ADD I focused solely on one part of the test and got a perfect score while failing the other parts badly enough to befuddle the doctor.

Most disorders aren't too bad to live with. Unless it's something like schizophrenia because unless you take take the medicine to slow the process of your brain deteriorating (and even with the medicine) the symptoms only increase and amplify the older you get.
