Is it healthier for me to ignore and stay away from what causes my anxiety or to confront it?

It is not for me to suggest the best option for you. Careless confrontation can lead to overindulgence and cause severe problems. I highly recommend consulting a professional about it.

It's always best to confront your fears. To me, anxiety is just another word for fear. It's hard to get over things that cause you anxiety without confronting it.

To be honest it's best to confront what causes your anxiety because otherwise you can never get over it.

it always better to confront those situations which lead you to anxiety issues,the more they are avoided the more the person becomes anxious about confronting those situations,which may increase the rate of anxiety attacks and may this may harm your body

Ignoring and staying away from what causes the anxiety is the best because if you confront it, this will keep you thinking about it a lot and you don't have time for that

You should confront it in small amounts so if you are anxious about big crowds as an example try starting small and working your way up. Maybe start at a movie theatre and go bigger each time you survive the pervious one

I would say it is more difficult but more beneficial to confront what is causing you anxiety. For example, if you are anxious about an exam coming up - instead of ignoring it and trying to not think about it, you could take some time out to revise and you will feel better when the exam comes round. The anxiety still may be there at exam time but you will feel better knowing you gave it your all and your results will display that you didn't ignore it. However, if this is something dangerous or negatively affecting your life, then you should not try to confront this without guidance and help, or possibly not at all if it is dangerous.

It's healthier to confront it. You should never avoid addressing a problem in your life. If you don't try to fix things, then they all may get bottled up, and you'll become overwhelmed.

Slowly, confront it, don't push too much, but you can't hide away from your fears forever, its better to get over it now than later.

If you believe that you are strong enough to face the problem, you should, but don't push yourself. Know your boundaries and avoid problems that you can't handle. However, don't be afraid to ask for help if you can't solve the problem yourself, or even if you just need support.
