Avoidant Personality Disorder, sometimes abbreviated as AVPD, is a relatively rare personality disorder that makes a person abnormally...well, avoidant.
Symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder can include:
-Extreme sensitivity to criticism or rejection, even if done in a nice way
-Social isolation, due to only hanging out with people who will accept them and avoiding people who are critical
-Fear of conflict; not voicing complaints, lest the subject(s) of the complaint react harshly
-Extremely low self-esteem; lower than that of a person suffering from depression
-Crippling shyness
-Being easily embarrassed or flustered
-Over-explaining a lot to avoid any potential misunderstandings
-Being unresponsive to any forms of communication (particularly verbal communication), especially if they are unhappy with someone, or vice versa
-Having trouble asking for help
-Extreme indecisiveness
Mental and personality disorders are different for everyone, but it doesn't make them any less serious.

John has such a multi diverse personality MDP in such that he can actually be an accountant one minute, then a sales person the next, but even more so he can type and text message on his phone at the same time. His girlfriend Jane can social network, analyze people, and text message also at the same time, making her a MDP also. Hence, their relationship is made in heaven. Adaptability is so important, they have mastered it as MDP's.

When a person involved in a business organization holds multiple roles and genuinely begins to think that they themselves are different people by virtue of the roles. Often happens when a shareholder is a director who is also a director of an entity that is a shareholder. People with this syndrome can be caught emailing themselves with the to/from fields being populated by the different roles they hold. Victims of this syndrome often cite bizarre legal theories to substantiate spending time emailing themselves in official capacities.
