My hot take is that avoidance is 100% a solution. If it’s perfectly acceptable for one to avoid a highway at certain times of the day because of traffic— then it should also be perfectly acceptable for me to avoid crowded social spaces. You avoid that way home from work anymore because every time you do you’re stuck in traffic for three hours. I avoid going to the grocery store during the day because every time I do I end up having a panic attack. ITS THE SAME PRINCIPLE!

It may not be a solution but it is my solution 🤷‍♀️
