Does this make sense?

Over empathy huh? I like it. I have always thought of the Avoidant like a king that thinks he is a pauper.
Avoidants think they are no good and worthless. But the truth is that we have just as much value as anyone else in this world
In fact, I will go one step further than that.
I dont have any stats on this, but from all the Avoidants I have talked to, it seems that most, and perhaps all, Avoidants are pretty high functioning and thinkers.
I wonder if Einstein was an Avoidant.
Maybe Avoidants are actually geniuses and this Avoidant thing is a careful plot to keep us under the thumb of the enemy.
Maybe the fact is that those that are Avoidants have a lot to offer. Maybe more to offer than most.
But we cant offer it because of this fear of rejection.
