The thing is, it can be really hard to accurately assess why you feel an aversion to things, and whether or not that aversion is misplaced. I can come up with scads of seemingly reasonable objections to, for example, going to the gym. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't benefit from it.

Overcoming an innate aversion that you've convinced yourself is a part of who you are can be life-changing.

That sounds like something normal people do.

I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but what the fuck is normal? Nobody's really normal. Even the so-called neurotypical are riddled with undiagnosed disorders. Normalcy is just a social fiction. Don't let it limit your options.

Life-changing isn't always for the better. Usually it's a lateral move at best.
