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

If there are certain triggers you know of, and there is no reason to expose yourself to them, then why should you? In my life there is a road, and on this road live lots of people that I spent almost all of the first 20 years of my life with. They were family friends and neighbors that became family friends. They are bad people, who did disgusting things to me and many of my friends. I do not drive down this road. I have no reason to. However, sometimes I get anxious doing average things like going to the grocery store for fear of running into these people. This is something I know I must overcome.

It's never a bad if you feel it's right, but maybe theres more to it, which you should look into

That's totally fine! If you don't feel comfortable doing something you shouldn't do it. It's your body and you have to take care of it. You know if you want to do something and you know if you don't. So if you avoid certain kind of situations that totally fine.

I don't think it's giving up to it. The best solution is to avoid it. I know that many people say "face your fear to get over it" that's NOT TRUE in all situation. Anxiety is a serious thing and it might lead to worse problems so avoid it in order to not ruin your day. Stay Awesome.

Avoiding everything that might put stress on you is not good because it is what makes you think, change and grow as a person. But, if there are specific situations that make you anxious and you have attempted to change or adjust then it is just you taking care of yourself.

Avoiding situations wont help you overcome them. Take a step forward like you were to do if you overcome a fear. If you begin to feel like you can not do it, try think positive. But if you start to feel like you can't breathe or dizzy or how you feel with an anxiety attack, take a step back, listen to calm music, breathe slowly and understand your surroundings. Try not avoid things because you wont get better. Face your fears, you can do it!! :D

For me, avoiding situations makes your anxiety worse in the long run. It is better to stick it out.

I honestly would say yes, but I am simply here only to guide you through. You are the expert on you. What do you think is best?

I believe facing them helps to realize the situation and makes you that much stronger for next time.

It's ok to avoid situations that make you anxious, but eventually you will have to face them and try to get over your anxiety.
