I've recently learned that I have Avoidant Personality Disorder. I spend most of a conversation looking for ways to end it quickly before I make some sort of social faux pas that I'll obsess about for the rest of my life. (I still replay moments from 30 years ago in my head. Like I said, it's a disorder). The better a conversation is going, the faster I want it to end. Any exit I see, I take it.
Sounds like me when anxiety is at a 10. I still replay moments for a decade ago.
I'm sorry. Is there anyone you don't feel like that around?
I wish! At least I know now my type of crazy isn't unique. That actually helps a lot and lets me recognize when I'm being that way and why. Thanks for asking!
are online conversations better, as you get to exit whenever you like
