1. My attempts to interact, or my presence, or my asking for anything, are treated like a task.
A task here means what must fit in a schedule, is a headache, not fun, and only worth completing to appease an authority (a person or a higher principle). It is also to be gotten out of as fast as possible, and is conceived as impinging on one's freedom.
This often comes with the second sign i'm going to list, catastrophic overthinking.
