The desire to run away and avoiding a certain situation may be common when the pain caused by said situation is immense or also, after a period of exhaustion where you have the feeling of being at the limit of forces.
However, in a more specific way, you may also have the need to want escape from that which produces fear, fear, anguish or sadness. And it is that, in a way, these emotions also invite us to move away.
Namely, fear always arises in the face of danger. Although it is also true that this emotion sometimes becomes a pleasure as in the case of cinema films. Another situation that you want to escape from is anything that can produce a great feeling of ridiculous or embarrassing (in this case it will be shy people who want to avoid this type of situations).
The desire to escape is human This is shown by the usual behavior of those people who have some type of phobia and end up avoiding situations that cause discomfort. However, the personal growth It does not go through flight but through the courage to face everything that makes us aware of our own limits. Even the strongest and seemingly confident people have weaknesses that they live with from day to day.
Take the desire to avoid certain situations as something natural. However, through reason be strong enough as to act knowing that what you must do is stay to show your face, to give explanations or simply, to show yourself that you are stronger than that which conditions you in certain instants. This way you will be stronger, wiser but also a little happier every day.
