I'm talking about something akin to not being able to break a window in your house intentionally, or to not being able to cut off one of your own fingers. Logically we should be physically capable of doing these things, but we don't, and on some level we actually can't. We can't do something which we genuinely believe will lead to a wholly undesirable outcome. If someone were to do these things, it's because they believe that there is at least something to be gained by doing so which is worth whatever cost they'd incur.
For me I don't see the purpose behind initiating and engaging with people irl, there is no perceivable reward. I'm afraid of people, afraid of being in public, and uncomfortable outside of my own house, because I associate all of these things with pain. Whatever negative emotions and physical discomfort that isolation causes me, it's evidently not as bad as the alternative.
