Vulnerable and Isolation withdrawing causing Vulnerability loop

This is quite difficult to talk about as I am myself just getting my head around this,

When I have an external factor pushing on my life or an uncertainty making life seem extreamely dangerous,, I feel vulnerable and with that vulnerability I close down with stress and anxiety, this isolates me away from contact with people and closes me down verbally talking about the vulnerability because I am vulnerable. So the isolation(protect method and non-communicative) makes me further vulnerable, so it is a catch 22, vulnerable, withdraw, isolated, more vulnerable... stress to stress loop.

Take any examples on this forum from fellow aspies,, the main theme is vulnerability and isolation also, I would even go as far to say that the system generates this position in society, benefits, housing, lack of care etc

Any thoughts ?

Do you feel vulnerable by society ?

Do you feel isolated ?

Does this isolation make you feel more vulnerable ?

    Yes.

    Yes.

    And, yes.

    Wish I knew what the answer to this problem was - I need my independence - apart from when I need to depend on someone - and all too often there then hasn't been anyone there to depend on.
