Avoidance is the process of evasion or refraining oneself from a task or a person or from any such adverse situation. People are often seen resorting to avoidance behavior due to stress, anxiety, or fear. This might be good for a while but in the long run, it is known to aggravate the current situation. Avoidance comes in many faces including procrastination, denial, or distraction. For instance, a person may avoid any matter that talks about a certain issue that in their opinion will in any way offend someone else. Over the long term, lifestyle patterns formed around such behavior limit one’s prospective opportunities (through avoidance of risk and change), increase level of anxiety and create tensions within interpersonal connections-because issues are not addressed but rather neglected and only piled up. However, even though it is complicated, resolving the problems in question proves beneficial to the individual and promotes development.
