An example of this is allowing my wife to hug me which doesn’t sound horrible but when I’m already anxious, anyone coming into my bubble causes me great distress. I however allow it because I’m afraid to tell her to stay away from me for a few moments while I try to relax a bit. I feel like I’ll hurt her feelings. Another example is when talking to other women who sometimes start flirting or saying inappropriate things I cannot tell them to stop it. I don’t like confrontation or drama. Of course because I allow this to happen I then have to deal with the guilt and anxiety that comes along with that because I didn’t say no. Saying no is really hard for me because of anxiety. Anyone else get this way?
