avoidant

Posted by Angela2 on June 5, 2007, at 15:21:51

I'm wondering if I am avoidant. I am supposed to go to a class tonight but I think I might make the decision not to go. Even though I already paid and can't get my money back.

Hello Angela

Sometimes it's better not to go, sometimes it's better to force yourself a bit, and sometimes it's hard to know.

I have found a balance after all this time, but perhaps too I don't get out and about that much.

Have you tried forcing yourself to do things and ended up regretting it?

Like I wouldn't care that I'm avoidant, but that is because I would say to myself 'these are someone else's words, I will be what I like, thank you very much'.

But then you get lonely, I suppose.

I just feel like a dip wad because my mom payed for a class I was going to take and I didn't go. It was only 60 dollars, but still. I made her feel bad and now I feel bad. Maybe this should be in the relationships forum.

Also I thought I was getting better and it felt like taking a class was a positive step, so now it feels like I've taken a negative one.

Sometimes I think I don't want to get better. Even though I do. How does that make any sense at all??

There's a lot to be said for being a hermit, PJ, in a hotel with room service and attractively costumed bellboys.

I can't make up the class but I can go to the next one. It's an art class. I've calmed down.. Thanks Phillipa.
