What do you avoid at all costs?

[Changing4Best]

I avoid conflict and touch. I hide when there is conflict. The only people who can hug me are my ki...

Yes, I don't like anyone behind me either! I can relate.

Forgot this .... my t has said that anxiety basically equals avoidance. Ughhh and when I look...

I missed your answer here, wow, I did not know that. I get anxiety a LOT! I remember one summer, the whole summer, I had anxiety attacks like every 20 mins to a half an hour all summer long. It was the worst summer of my life. I was with an abusive boyfriend at the time, so that is not at all surprising. Thanks for the info. I will have to think about how best to use this knowledge.

Mostly interactions and building relationships.
I avoid them because I don't like answering personal questions as I am currently not too fond of my current situation you could say.

Yes, probably many of us are not too fond of our current situation. @Dr.Knowbuddy One thing that is nice about this Forum is that we can find comfort in knowing we are not alone.

OVERCOMING TRAUMA AND PTSD" by Sheela Raja PhD

Hey Sheila,

hope the book keeps you inspired!

I avoid too many humans as I find smalltalk somewhat irritating, and I prefer the less talk interaction. And I dislike sweettalking.

I avoid getting close to anyone emotionally. I can only relate to others in a superficial way.

OMG, conflict is huge. Even with my wonderful therapist. OH no please dont be upset with me. Having friends. Going to church, crowds. Its gotten so bad.. My wife is amazing for putting up with me. Thanks for not making me feel so alone.
