Answer to Question 1

D
A person with avoidant personality disorder tends to believe that those outside of the family will reject the person more than the person's family. The family is the sole source of support for a person with avoidant personality disorder, even if the family is critical or rejecting. A person with avoidant personality disorder wants to be more sociable, but fears that being close to those outside of the family may bring humiliations or rejection.

D
