Well, in my case it’s just painful to do anything someone asks me to. Even if it’s a thing I’m initially enthusiastic about, as soon as other people and some kind of pressure is involved I no longer wish to participate or do anything, it no longer feels voluntary and I feel extremely frustrated and I need to go through series of mental breakdowns to even do a smallest thing in that direction. It affects me to the point where I had problems with the law in the past, anything that was forced upon me felt like slavery and my only instinct was to avoid it or refuse and break free.
How do you live with it? Is there any way to cope with it rather than just surviving? Honestly I hear about PDA for the first time and as I read about it I feel called out

That sounds like PDA.

You’re very welcome! :)
