OBSESSION OR AVOIDANCE
No one likes to admit they struggle with avoidance or obsession and a lot of people don't even know they have these problems. What does it even mean to avoid or obsess? What I found is that normal people, aka people who don't act out in some sort of addiction, are those who seem to obsess the most. This was my problem. I acted in instead of out. It is much more respectable to act in! Obsession gets really strong and active when we are having feelings that we don't want to feel or accept, so to avoid those feelings we obsess about something. We act in by obsessing which takes us out of our feelings. Maybe you don't know if you are an obsessor or not. Some people think that they are just worriers. We may worry about real problems and try and figure out the solutions. We get lost in trying to figure out the solution to impossible situations. We get all caught up in our heads with all kinds of possible scenarios to our problems. Our mind gets more and more torment
