I feel that the pain is equally bad whether I withdraw or not – just different pain. I found this out through experimenting with totally withdrawing from people, and total immersion in people. Still – I find myself always making new friends, and then avoiding interacting with them. Weird, but that’s what I do… The fact for me is that I am unable to control the level of interaction with people, including the possibility of being humiliated or really enjoying it. At some point I just take life as it comes and react to it however I do. Social life happens TO me, I don’t know how to effectively control or drive it – I’m just on the bus, wherever it goes. This is kind of a situation of helplessness and acceptance and just trying to make the best of a bad situation. Not ideal, but word eventually gets around that I won’t show up for anything, so don’t bother inviting, which lets me off the hook. I am really hopeful, now that I’m learning more about ADD, that there actually are some ideas for dealing with these issues other than just working around them… I think I just might explore this a little further…
