You're right of course. It is better. I was focusing on the interruption to my productivity. I ought to keep in mind that my productivity used to be interrupted when I was a wreck too. It's not as if I was working while I was melted in a puddle of agitation.
We have addressed it, but not very effectively I'm afraid. I've often found that when I successfully addressed one issue, another pops up. Whac-a-mole.
I could be wrong, but I think it's probably genetic or at least developmental rather than environmental. My son has some of the same base issues I have, and I can see it in some of my mother's family as well.
We've actually been addressing this type of issue more lately. I've been trying to be a good little client, I think, and have been a bit inhibited in my ability to think of things to say. So he pushes me about socialization, and we address my avoidance. Unfortunately, I think I might be responding to his pushing in my habitual style. That is, becoming stubborn and noncompliant.
