I am both a seeker and avoider. It depends on the sense.

Also because of the weirdness of another medical condition I flip back and forth on my touch sense as a seeker and avoider. I am usually an avoider for touch, but when I paralyzed and floppy I become a seeker. When I am dealing with a paralysis attack often I can't feel my limbs or face at all, especially my left side just disappears. If I am strong enough to still walk a little, I am likely to injure myself without any clue that I did so. The rest of the time though the slightest touch of anything causes excruciating pain and I become overwhelmed by the pain.
