Because of awkwardness or perceived awkwardness avoidance is a large part of my life. This can occasionally be quite easy such as when the person you are avoiding is not someone you see in regualar life and then you can simply avoid facebook messages and msn. However when the person you are avoiding becomes part of your everyday life i.e classes avoiding can be quite tricky. Everytime I avoid someone or something I usually end up finally giving up eventually and confronting the problem or rather begin talking to the person and avoiding the issues still. This is usually not as bad as the stress avoiding someone daily can cause. I wish I could be one of those people who face confrontation head on and can openly air their issues. However I am usually more of a repressor with the occasional dramatic outburst. I also wish that I could stick to my guns more and if I have an issue not just push it to the wayside. This is the kind of person I would like to become rather than someone so complacent. Because complacency and avoidance don't resolve anything and usually hurt me more than anyone else.
I've got a long list of people I avoid. It's been working out for me, but I live in Kentville, where none of those people are.
