In reply to avoidant personality disorder and holidays, posted by zeugma on January 1, 2004, at 23:37:45
I think I spoke to you under the thread about sexual identity, Really bad for handles..I might even have written to you about moving context to help with the relationship problems..well it did it for me !!...Anyway well those things you decribe about people and avoiding and groups was me, but I soon started to get fed up with one on one interactions with friends. I would get fed up with the same topics people being the same, gettting stopped from veering of and playing my piano or whatever, by the fact someone had come to talk etc etc..
Yes stage 2 to getting social, I have these overwhelming desire to phone someone else to come and join us when someone vists..its great I can just stand back and let others blab away, now I can potter about like i usually do and all this focus isn demanded of me.
Threes a crowd ? Not with me its two people blabbing while someone with avoidant disorder getting a break. having said all this, i'm thinking maybe my meds really are working, i'm quite happy to be in a group of 3. And if i'm really up for it who knows. Of course my meds are working and i'm taking holidays too. Never used to travel..
