I don't like that when ever i tell someone i possibly have avoidance personality disorder they go off and ask me what that is.
And i wish more people would know what it is because i would seriously help me out and many others in the world if they did.
But what bugs me isnt the fact they don't know i recently asked something on another site and they said "Its avoiding?" they way he said it he had no clue about it.
But people just here the word avoiding and believe its only about avoiding and there isn't anything to it more then that. when they haven't looked it up yet.
I get offended by this easy is it just me? or would you be offended by it if this was you?

At least that name gives ignorant people a clue to some of what it's about, seems like a advantage to me.

Which is better -- to ask what it is and therefore learn something about it or to not ask what it is and therefore learn nothing about it?

That isn't my point i am trying to point out that people need to look something up instead of asking before answering.
i don't understand why people dont it isnt hard.

Do I understand what you said correctly?

That when you tell someone about something that they do not know about, it is better for them to go to school or home or a library or possibly somewhere else and look it up and read about it rather than ask you questions when you tell them?

That isn't how it works. Admittedly, if it did work that way, perhaps there would be fewer crackpot notions going around since they would hopefully get answers from a more reliable source. But it just doesn't work that way in general.
