Cluster C

Cluster C refers to a group of personality disorders characterized by anxious, fearful, or tense behaviors. People with these disorders often feel insecure or uncomfortable in social situations and may worry excessively about being rejected or criticized. Common types include Avoidant Personality Disorder, where individuals avoid social interactions due to fear of rejection; Dependent Personality Disorder, marked by a strong need for reassurance and difficulty making decisions alone; and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, characterized by a preoccupation with order, control, and perfection. These patterns can impact daily functioning and relationships, often stemming from underlying feelings of insecurity or fear.
