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

I think it's always important to consider your own well being first and foremost. If the situation makes you feel completely out of your comfort zone and you can see it affects your emotions, physical body and day then yes, it's a good idea to choose an alternative that you feel makes you genuinely relaxed instead but I wouldn't recommend doing nothing at all instead :)

It's totally okay. The biggest thing is, if you want to overcome that fear eventually; you have to submerge yourself into it repeatedly. Sometimes, it isn't as bad as we thought. Now, if the situation harms you or anyone else in any way, definitely don't do it.

It's totally okay, in moderation. Avoiding those situations can sometimes be the best thing you can do for your mental health. It's not always healthy to constantly throw yourself into those situations just to try and conquer the anxiety all the time. It's not giving up at all if you decide to avoid it, in moderation. Yes, every once in a while, it's a good idea to go and try to learn how to cope in those situations. But sometimes, it's better to just avoid it and not go through that stress. So yes, it is okay to avoid the situations, in moderation. Adding unnecessary stress to your life (too much anyway) is usually more detrimental to your health anyway.

Personally I take this is a controlled moderation. I push myself to deal with situations sometimes because I won't let this control my life. In doing so Iv found over time I have become much more functional and resilient. Yet also I have days where I know my biology is on that critical edge and taking time to care for myself and remove myself from that sort of stimuli is more appropriate. I think there is a difference between understanding your situation and responsible self care, and taking a reactionary out of control approach to dealing with anxiety. Understanding and taking care of yourself and gently pushing your limits when you are in the condition to tolerate it is being proactive and not giving up or in to it.

Avoiding situations that make you anxious is nothing to feel bad about. It is important to get to know your personal limits and to act on them accordingly. However, going through situations that make you anxious isn't always a bad idea. In fact, going through such situations could actually lead to you coming out stronger and more confident compared to when you went into it. Just be wary to not overdo it and bite off more than you can chew.

It is okay to avoid a subject if you feel uncomfortable or anxious speaking with someone about them. Eventually, if you feel comfortable, then you can communicate about it in your conversation.

In the beginning it is good to stay away from stressful events, situations and people. However as we understand more the source of the problem and we rise our defense energy field by deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, healthy food, doing sports, it is good to test us in different situations we was vulnerable before. That verifies our personal life growth.

I know facin it is gonna be too damn hard but avoiding it in the long run won't be a solution because you can't run away from it forever so try to encounter it.... Your fears will start vanishing away slowly and as the time passes you will notice that you no longer feel anxious in those situations like you used to... Facing it is the only way to reduce getting anxious..... Hope it helps you... All the best

This depends on your personal view. It is okay to avoid situations that make you anxious, however, it is also important to face these fears. You could try facing a few fears every now and then, avoiding situations that make you extremely anxious until you are ready.

Better to avoid such situations or if you are in one, fight it out and ensure your mental health is not affected.
