waqaar is a 30-year-old male who lives with his mother. He works as a night-time cleaner in a large store since he dropped out of college many years ago. He complains of being “nervous all of the time” and would like to “get his life back”. He stated that he would like to change jobs but prefers his current job because he does not have any contact with other employees.he did not have any friends in college, mostly due to his feeling “self-conscious”. When among strangers, he would feel nervous and would “break out in a sweat”. He had what he described as “nervous attacks”, which came on suddenly and lasted for a few seconds to minutes. These attacks only came on when in the presence of strangers. Since these episodes increased in intensity and frequency, he dropped out of college. which personality disorder he is protraying?
a.schizoid
b.schizotypal
c.obsessive-compulisive
d.paroxysmal panic
e.avoidant

(A) schizoid/ coz these people like the idea of getting new friends and get a better job/ but they are always nervous to do it.

pt is most likely avoidant, he is alone and miserable
schizoids are happy to be alone, they don't need anybody

it is indeed avoidant personality disorder. this is different from schizoid in the sense , they have this intense desire for relationships, but feel they are not enough. schizoid are plain introverts, and multiply that 100 times.
