Adjective

hypersensitive avoidant (not comparable)

1. (psychiatry) Exhibiting one of the four subtypes of avoidant personality disorder as defined by the American psychiatrist Theodore Millon. Includes features of paranoid personality disorder

Usage notes

• These subtypes are not recognized by the DSM-5 or ICD-10.
• Any individual with schizotypal personality disorder may exhibit either one of the two somewhat different subtypes (Note that Millon believes it is rare for a personality with one pure variant, but rather a mixture of one major variant with one or more secondary variants):
