having the "i pathologically avoid people" personality disorder is fucking weird sometimes bc sometimes a friend or coworker or even complete stranger says something innocuous to me and i'll be thinking about it for hours afterwards like "how do other people respond to that? Do other people put themselves in Situations like that? What if i were meaner? But thats bad? But asserting myself isnt mean. hmmm......."
like some days i really think i just like the idea of socially interacting more than i like actually attempting to experience a social interaction. But I cant just say that to people because folks get weird as fuck about it.
