...See more I always thought once I knew what my “thing” was I’d feel a certain sense of relief. Like I would gain a sense of control. A couple weeks ago, I was told it’s believed that I have avoidant disorder. I always thought I was somewhere on the spectrum or neurodivergent in some way. That I understood. It made sense. But it also wasn’t something that could’ve been controlled by me or anyone else. Having avoidant disorder on the other hand, could’ve been as it’s caused by deep seated trauma. I already struggled with insecurities in my masculinity and learning this has 10x’d those insecurities. I don’t have anyone I can talk to about this stuff so I’m further self isolating and when I’m not I’m staying in unhealthy bonds because I can’t tell what’s self isolation due to the disorder and that’s self preservation. It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
