I avoid doing things that involve going far with bus/train
I avoid doing things I´d like to do, because I start thinking that it won´t make me feel good anyway, even if I have a small urge to do it.
I avoid speaking to people who work at the supermarket/the bus driver/pizza delivery guy, and so on
I avoid getting things fixed around the house, if it involves calling somebody to come and fix it
I avoid people on the street/sidewalk, if they come my way I sometimes go another way
and so on and so on
While I like to avoid pointless conversation, this is one area where I make an exception. The guy or girl at the checkout serving me probably wants to be there even less than I do, so I try to make them feel comfortable and important by smiling and being polite. They have to put up with a lot of terrible people in one day so if I can make 30 seconds of their day bearable in some way, I'll do it.I avoid speaking to people who work at the supermarket/the bus driver/pizza delivery guy, and so on
This is just about everything in life. So sad. ::I avoid...
... people, which includes (ex)friends, family friends and imediate & extended family. And obviously strangers.
... reading and sending/replying to emails/PMs/forum posts.
... public places, especially restrooms or large open places with lots of people, like shopping centres.
... public transport, especially buses.
... school, university, jobs.
... calling or answering telephone calls.
... relationships, romantic or otherwise.
... dealing with relationship issues.
... painful memories.
... anything that reminds me of the past, like smells or sounds.
There's probably more, but those are the main ones.

I have seen so many rude customers that treat check-out people badly that I feel like I should be nice and polite. It's just how I feel.That´s really nice, when people are able to do that. I wish I was like that. I just can´t. I feel that everybody is staring at me and everybody thinks I´m weird and nervous.
Rationally I can tell myself that they probably don´t, but it doesn´t calm me down
If there's something i need to do, & it's not that important, i delay it for ages.
Same. I have already told my parents that I never answer the home phone anymore.telephone calls
Well people would be top of the list, along with most social situations.
I avoid sharing my feelings with family members, for the most part.
I avoid telephone calls, and not just the house phone either, I'll avoid answering calls on my mobile phone. Even if it's someone know I won't answer it.
