I'm an old man and have had that problem my entire life. I recently found out about pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and it describes me perfectly. Since then I've been able to recognize when I'm avoiding a demand and sometimes work around the avoidance to do what I need to do. Maybe PDA is something you're experiencing and can find ways to work around it.
