Is it okay to avoid situations that make me anxious, or is that giving up to it?

I think every situation is different, but perhaps when you try to fight your fear, you can feel better about yourself and overcoming it! However, you don't always feel that way, so if you know it just won't get better and you feel really extremely anxious, try to take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down knowing the fact you don't have to put yourself in that position. Or - you could try the opposite!

We get anxious because we don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. And we’ll never know what’s going to happen, until we face the situation. Otherwise it’ll forever make us anxious, and we will never be able to live our lives freely. Learn to face your fears, and do it slowly if you must, but just TRY. Take it one day at a time. Exposure therapy could be a good thing to try, but research more into it first if you’re interested.

If there are situations that make you anxious there isn’t anything wrong with avoiding them if they make you uncomfortable. Only go to those situations when you feel comfortable or more ready.

Sometimes it is ok, and sometimes it isn't. It's good for us to face our fears, eventually we will become more comfortable being uncomfortable by doing so. Other times, it is good to take care of yourself by avoiding a situation.

Of course, at that moment you just might not be ready to handle the situation, but you will some day. Until then, you can strengthen yourself to get to where you can be in that situation, and while you may still be anxious, it's more controlled.

It's natural to want to avoid situations that cause anxiety. Keeping yourself out of situations that can negatively affect your mental health is an important part of self care, but it can become a problem when it starts to interfere with your ability to live life "normally". If you find that your anxiety is interfering with your everyday life, it may be a good idea to consider getting aid from a qualified professional.

It depends on the situation...But I would prefer facing it if you avoid it;it will go for a short time of.period but it will definitely show up again...that's why I would prefer to face those situations cause they will make you more tough...and strong...

Virtually everyone feels anxious sometimes and in certain situations. Sometimes you may choose to avoid a situation or take on the challenge at another time.

In order to get better it is not always the best option to help with your anxiety. The more you avoid situations that may make you anxious the more you do not want to go anywhere as your anxiety could have gotten worse

I think that it depends on how important the thing you're avoiding is to living your life. For example, if you're avoiding taking trains and that's the most convenient and cheapest way to get to work, your avoidance may pose a problem for you. But if you're anxious about bungee jumping (to use an extreme example), that's something you could completely avoid without your life being impaired.
