When something (stimuli) is a bother your response Is to retreat, hide, or otherwise run away. This creates a cycle. It becomes easy.
There is only one solution. Reverse the cycle. Stop avoiding stimuli. Build up your strength by intentionally placing yourself in situations that bother you.
An analogy is going to exercise. People avoid exercise because it is uncomfortable, it bothers them, or is painful. After 10 years of avoidance they are very weak. The only solution is exercise. The person must confront the reality and begin to intentionally embrace the discomfort and pain.
You need mental exercise. You don’t want to as after 10 years you are mentally very weak. Even the smallest weight is painful, it is not comfortable. Regardless, your only solution is to build your strength. No one can do it for you.
