I am too sensitive though, just a disapproving look can really bring me down.

I worry about the disapproving looks they keep on the inside.

Avoidance keeps me safe, but it also stops me from being happy too.

Yeah. 🙁

Being on my own, not having other people in a position of power over me.

That's an interesting point: power. Does feeling in control of a situation make you feel safer?

It might be part of why people find exit strategies helpful.

i feel safe when im home alone lost in a tv series or when im out in nature by myself..or on a long run by myself with no one around me..do these things make me happy though?no not really but the opposite doesnt either.i can force myself to socialize and be around people but its then that i realize how different i am from others.so im screwed either way it seems..
