How to use "Turn away" in context?
When you are faced with something that is difficult or painful, the natural tendency is to try and turn away from it. You may try and bury your head in your hands, feigning ignorance or pretending the problem does not exist. Or you may try and run away from the situation altogether. The problem with trying to turn away from something is that it rarely works. The harder you try to push away from the problem, the tighter it grips onto you. The harder you try to run away, the faster you hit a dead end. The only way to deal with something difficult or painful is to face it head on.
