My boss sounds a lot like your former boss, zapatoes. I am glad that you don't have that toxicity in your life anymore.



I don't think anyone would figure me for being avoidant, but when I read through the descriptions in the info page, it all falls in line. I don't get out except to work - I don't even go grocery shopping if I can avoid it. I even have a hard time visiting family, and they have always been loving and supportive. I am a difficult person to know, though not deliberately. I am the kind you can work with for five years and still not know my middle name or where my parents live.



For most all my life I have had a problem with frequently feeling disconnected from my body and my environment - do any other 'avoidants' have this problem? I haven't been diagnosed depers/dereal, but then again, I haven't really told any of my counselors about it. I have never felt 'hyper aware' of my surroundings, though, and anxiety tends to make me space out even more than I normally do.
