I do many small avoidant behaviors without noticing, but one of the big first ones, at high school I use to hide myself inside the bathroom during breaks...15minutes looking at the walls, writing in the walls.

I’m almost certain I’ve done many small avoidant behaviours without noticing. The bathroom is a big issue for me
I completely agree that over diagnosing any disorder usually does little but harm
Sometimes I feel that I would be doing “better” if I had continued to avoid, deny
etc my symptoms and pain and never consulted a doctor
I first had panic attacks when reading aloud in class (that was ignored .. I was too ? Shamed etc to try to talk to anyone about this ..)
