How to use "Avoidance" in context?
Avoidance is one of the best coping mechanisms. It allows us to distance ourselves from uncomfortable or undesirable situations. We may remove ourselves from a situation, or limit our exposure to it. We can avoid thinking or talking about a problem. Avoidance can be a temporary fix, but it's often ineffective and can have negative consequences. (1)
Avoidance can help us maintain our privacy and avoid people or things that make us uncomfortable. It can also protect us from harm. Some people use avoidance to avoid getting close to others because they're afraid of being hurt again.
