avoidant personality disorder is a condition often characterized by: hypersensitivity to perceived or real rejection and a pervasive, extremely low self-esteem.
this inevitably leads to intense social inhibition to the point where the avoidant person tends to avoid social contact with all but those whom he knows for certain will not reject him.
this, in turn, can lead to the avoidant person compensating for his/her lack of social interaction by constructing a complex "fantasy" world, through which he experiences those things that he feels himself incapable of experiencing in real life (love, acceptance, etc.).
it may also lead the avoidant person to assume a defensive position while in contact with others, so he can reject others before they reject him.
treatment is usually therapy.

a person with avoidant personality disorder believes himself to be so personally unappealing that he withdraws from social life, so as to avoid the pain of rejection. this, in turn, causes others to perceive him as uninterested in social life, and they may ignore or even ridicule him. this, of course, reinforces the avoidant's beliefs that he is inferior, and leads him to further withdrawl.
avoidant personality disorder may often be connected to clinical depression.

The Spousal Avoidance Center(SAC)can be a man cave, a TV room, a garage or any other physical room that achieves the objective of complete spousal avoidance. Any SAC must be equiped with proper safe-guards to notify the Man in the SAC of the approaching spouse. While in the SAC a man must never respond to the spouse or demonstrate any sense of urgency in leaving the SAC when called to leave. An ideal SAC contains a beer fridge(stocked), shelves for snack foods, microwave, large screen TV for football and other sports, a serious stereo, wall photos of manly icons such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, John Wayne and Evil Kneivel and also a video gaming center if required. A bar with stools for other men trying to achieve total spousal avoidance is highly encouraged. A toilet is ideal to prevent exiting the SAC for obvious reasons.

For those people not comfortable with the popular and highly effective e-chop approach, the ‘avoidachop’ can take anywhere between 5 days to two weeks (in severe cases it can take months, depending on the intelligence of the ‘choppee’) to achieve full effect.
It is generally practised when the ‘avoidachopper’:
(i) would prefer not to deal with the uncomfortable process of formally rejecting a person;
(ii) develops a phobia of all communication devices including telephones, mobile phones, computers, post offices, fax machines and morse code; or
(iii) is in a coma and unable to communicate with the rest of mankind.
