I've been trying to buy a house in my area

But the only thing I can afford is a strong opinion about gentrification.

I told my therapist I understand all my unhealthy patterns now.

She asked what I plan to do, and I said, 'Probably just keep understanding them.'

I suggested sending a project update via email, but my manager insisted we needed a 'collaborative discussion'

now I've spent 2 hours in a meeting discussing the same 3 bullet points that were already in my email draft

My therapist said my avoidant attachment style keeps me from genuine connection.

So naturally, I've just been avoiding their emails.
