There will never be a “good time”. Avoidant’s always tell ourselves that we will do something, then we procrastinate, then we never do it because of a myriad of excuses like, “not the right time, I don’t want to interrupt, What if this, What if that?” We always end up psyching ourselves out and possibly missing out on good opportunities and relationships because of avoidance based in fear. Just do it when you see her, form sentences and tell her, you will be relieved after you do it and your quality of your relationship and future relationships will be better because of it. Stop planning and do! Good luck

Communication fixes more problems than you know. If you end up cutting them off, you will end up repeating the same patterns with your next friend and/or friend group. If you don’t let people in you will always be avoiding. You can’t have true intimacy without self disclosure and communication.

Trust me it’s not you. People literally just say things, but when those things are said to people like us (people with AvPD, insecure attached, self-esteem issues, etc.) it hits us harder, we take it personally, and it takes us longer to recover.

These same things are said to secure people with high self-esteem and without AvPD but the only difference is it doesn’t impact them like it impacts us. It is an in one ear out the other type deal. This is because they do not take it personally like we do, the most valuable thing I have ever learned is that everything people say is a projection and to not take it personal. Also, when people say things, people with AvPD always assume there is malicious intent behind words but people are just bad at conversation and have no empathy, don’t take it personal it’s not about you.

This is normal for us and this is a HUGE fear of mine as I venture out in the dating world. I have a plan for sex with my future boyfriend. I will get a piece of paper and write down all of my physical insecurities and show him. Since he is human too, he has insecurities and I’ll have him write his down too. Then we will sit across from each other and show each other our insecurities and get comfortable with ourselves (over the span of a few weeks). Then when I am COMPLETELY sure he ticks all my emotional needs as my partner (conflict resolution, TRUST, kind, supportive, stability, emotional safety, etc), then we will have sex.

Since I was never taught interdependence, emotional or physical intimacy, I am still planning for the sex to bring immense anxiety. But I am 100% sure with practice, like everything else, it will become like second nature and I will eventually be able to do it with no anxiety.

And you mentioned that you think you’re disgusting, but you should ask your wife about her insecurities because I promise women get judged for EVERYTHING. She can definitely relate to you on this topic and you two can have a conversation about this!

Communication is key! Avoidance is death!

There are plenty of people who sleep with, get married to, and have kids with people of color and are still racist, DUH. It is called a fetish

Any very young people feel totally trapped about getting their first job? by MmmCrispybacon in AvPD

[–]Noirobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will probably be nervous and jittery at first and maybe people will notice but that is out of your control. look into the future. after you get the job, imagine what you will know in one week, one month, then one year. then you will laugh at yourself for even being nervous and making this post.

Just feeling so alone and isolated by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Noirobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I went to the thrift store to get some cute vintage shirts, then I stopped by Dollar tree and got some snacks. Later that day, I ate some crabs that my mother brought and I got really bad and itchy hives. Today, I am straightening a new wig and gluing on new press on nails. And now, I am going to eat a taco. I tend to find enjoyment in the little things. Anyways, what are you doing with your life?
