Comforters often exhibit a dismissive attitude. When they sense that their words might deeply affect the speaker, they attempt to avoid this impact by disconnecting emotionally (empathic disconnection). When you say you're poor at communicating, I interpret that to mean your choice of words makes your situation seem less serious than it is because you tend to downplay it. finding it hard
to describe your problem in any detail. e.g.: ‘Oh, it’s all over now. I don’t really want to think about it’ and ‘It just sort
of happened. I can’t really think why I did it; something must have come over me’. vise versa leading to what i first mention.

You might be overly aware of your lack of communication skills and that might make it more anxiety enduing than it already is. Im trying to get an understanding of what you meant.
