","answerCount":"1","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Personality disorders are placed into groups or \u201cclusters\u201d because some share similar symptoms or sometimes co-occur.\r\n\r\n \tCluster A personality disorders tend to be marked by eccentric behavior, limited emotional expression, and social withdrawal, typified by paranoid personality disorder.\r\n \tCluster B personality disorders are almost the opposite, characterized by very emotional, dramatic, or erratic behavior, as seen with histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or narcissism.\r\n \tCluster C personality disorders, on the other hand, are marked more by anxiety and fearful thoughts and behavior, as in obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.\r\n"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is antisocial personality disorder?","answerCount":"1","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a challenging type of personality disorder characterized by a disregard for right and wrong and other people that often manifests as criminal behavior. People with ASPD can be violent, impulsive, and manipulative of others and often experience problems with substance abuse. Like other personality disorders, ASPD falls on a spectrum and those with severe forms are sometimes referred to as \u201csociopaths\u201d or even \u201cpsychopaths\u201d as they lack empathy and remorse for their actions."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is avoidant personality disorder?","answerCount":"1","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Avoidant personality disorder (AVPD) is a cluster C personality disorder involving fearful thinking and anxiety. While most of us experience bouts of shyness or social anxiety at some point in our lives, if you have AVPD, such feelings are so prevalent they interfere with your ability to function in your day-to-day life. You\u2019re often so scared of criticism, rejection, or embarrassment it prevents you from forming relationships and impairs your work and social life."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is schizoid personality disorder?","answerCount":"1","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Schizoid personality disorder is an uncommon personality disorder characterized by emotional coldness, a lack of close relationships, and an avoidance of social activities. Those with the disorder are often seen as loners who have difficulty expressing emotions and struggle to experience pleasure. While some symptoms are similar to both schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia, someone with schizoid personality disorder doesn\u2019t suffer from paranoia or hallucinations."}}]}]</script><link rel="icon" href="https://www.helpguide.org/wp-content/uploads/cropped-Frame-13798-32x32.png" sizes="32x32" /> <link rel="icon"
