| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today's episode is going to be a long long episode. It's a deep dive |
| 0:06.7 | that I've been working on for a few months now. And the deep dive is on avoidant personality disorder. |
| 0:14.2 | This is going to be a patron only episode, by the way. So if you're not a patron, you won't be |
| 0:19.5 | able to listen to the full episode. This is the first episode in a series that I'm going to be doing |
| 0:25.9 | on loneliness in general. Lots of people suffer from loneliness. I get emails about it every |
| 0:33.3 | almost every day. I talk with clients about it. I talk with supervisees and students about it. |
| 0:40.2 | Loneliness is a very, I don't know, it's highly prevalent. And I've never felt very good in the way |
| 0:49.7 | that I help people with their loneliness. I've found some success with some people. But with a lot |
| 0:56.1 | of people, when I try to help them, it never really works. Especially when people email me because |

| 1:21.6 | relationships, maybe dating apps or Facebook groups or you have to pursue your friends, cultivate |
| 1:27.6 | long-term relationships, reach out to others. Sometimes you've got to put up with flaky friends, |
| 1:33.8 | maybe always say yes to social events or be vulnerable. All this is good advice, but I've |
| 1:39.5 | worked with people individually with this kind of thing and found that it doesn't do anything. |
| 1:45.1 | None of these things have really worked. Sometimes they do, but most people that I talk about |
| 1:51.9 | these things with, they just remain lonely year after year after year. And it makes me really, |
| 1:59.6 | really sad for them because these people that I know, I know to be lovely, likeable, interesting, |
| 2:08.2 | dynamic, human beings, who anyone would be happy to have, to be their friend. I often think about, |
| 2:16.5 | because I have multiple people telling me that they're lonely, I often think about, well, how come |
| 2:20.8 | all those people don't just get together and eliminate all their loneliness all at once? |
