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

I dont think avoiding it is a good idea. Face it bravely and never feel anxious about it later

It is totally okay to avoid those situations. Sometimes anxiety is good because it tells you when you might be unsafe, or you should leave the situation. Although if it is just social situations in general, the more you expose yourself to them, the less anxious you will become.

I think that is is okay to avoid them, because it means that you know that you are not comfortable in those situations, and you are trying to take care of yourself.

It is okay in some circumstances. You need time for mental health, but can’t avoid school all year because it makes you anxious.

You can totally avoid those situations! If you feel better farrrrr away from those places, things, and people, leave them!

It is not a form of succumbing to our weaknesses, but an exclusive duty to avoid detrimental positions. Respect and dignity is due to the Listener as it is due to the Patient. We may hesitate at the notion of fixating attention upon ourselves, the heroes of the situation, rather than the victims. However, we may fall victims ourselves if we neglect our necessities. And once the hero has fallen victim, whoever is left to defend the innocent? We do not abandon our patients, but constitute a compromise for both active individuals in the system of restoration.

While you are working on your coping strategies or starting your recovery, a coping skill can be avoiding the triggering situation. It is self-preservation, not giving up.

A lot of anxiety comes from inexperience and self doubt that you can handle the situation. Avoiding certain circumstances can be helpful, but the only way to really deal with it is to slowly move yourself out of your comfort zone. Start small and you'll see that a lot of the stuff you worry about doesn't come to pass.

It's normal for people to want to avoid situations that make them anxious but one of the best ways to be able to deal with the anxiousness in the first place is having slow and steady exposure to the thing that creates those feelings in the first place.

I think the situation should drive whether you participate in them or not. If the situation causes high anxiety I would avoid it, if possible. If the situation causes a low level of anxiety, I would test the water to work on overcoming the problem. If you try that it would not be giving up on it but working on overcoming it.
