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

When the anxiety you receive from these situations interferes with the rest of your day, or with your ongoing day-to-day life, then measures need to be taken to ensure you are in an environment that supports your well-being. It is not healthy to contiavoid dealing with anxiety, however where that anxiety becomes extreme and intereferes with your functionality, then it is healthier to at least temporarily avoid the situation until either it passes or a better solution can be found like medication or therapy.

You can definitely try to avoid situations that you know will trigger your anxiety. However, if avoiding these situations starts to interfere with your ability to live your life as you please and in a healthy manner, you may want to look into alternative methods of coping. It's definitely easier to develop coping strategies and skills for calming yourself when you're not feeling overwhelmed though, so avoiding the situations may be the best place to start.

Our wellbeing - both mental and physical - is often naturally one of our top priorities. It is perfectly okay to avoid situations that you know will make you feel anxious. You are not giving up - you are prioritising your mental wellbeing which is nothing that you should feel ashamed of.

Everyone hides away from something in their life so i think this is okay to avoid situations at time

it is just okay, but you have to tell the member that he/she better can connect with another listener

The answer to that depends entirely on you, and the advice of any professional therapist or doctor you may be in contact with. Consider the situations you're attempting to avoid - will cutting these activities from your life reduce the quality of your life? And always consider the opinion of your healthcare professional before taking drastic steps to address your mental health.

i think depending on the situation its okay. i deal with anxiety going to school,so i stay home from shool often. but you have to at least try. if you try every day,you will start overcoming your anxiety,

It's absolutely okay to avoid those situations. You have to look out for whatever helps make you calm, happy and in control. In time, when you feel more confident, then you can start facing those situations. But only when your ready.

It depends on how much you can push yourself, it you can handle the stress push, but learn yourself first and then you will be able to decide whether or not to push in the situation

"Face your fears" might initially sound like a great idea, but anxiety is so much more than fear. It's great if you try and face situations that make you feel anxious, but it's also completely fine to back away from them and give yourself some time until you feel like you're ready to face them. It's not at all giving up, it's just taking your time and taking care of yourself.
