Sort of replies:
@pearwaldorf: people with this level of avoidance are usually very hermit and do solo work (according to my reading on the subject), so i’m not surprised you don’t meet many in the ‘wild’ so to speak ;)
he managed to be ‘the person people talk to’. even one of his former therapists told him it was hard for her to not talk herself instead of letting him talk. he is very good in friendly ‘you can talk to me’ silence. i think that prevented going full hermit early. he enjoys social, it’s ‘just’ complicated.
also thank you <3
@servantofclio: thank you <3 I honestly think we can do this, and that it is easier now it’s all in the open, y’know? it’s so much easier to talk about things if you know the things exists in the first place!
thanks for all the <3 and earlier notes
/and yeah i’m sort of okay now, as i can see a way to make this work
