I avoid social situations but analyze: is avoidance shrinking my life? Map social avoidance: situations avoided, opportunities missed, isolation increasing. Calculate: avoidance relief vs. long-term costs vs. life shrinkage. Show me the avoidance cost: my world is getting smaller. Give me the exposure: start with this, gradually increase, expect this. Include: what social avoidance is costing me, how to start exposure, and whether avoidance is winning.
