A tendency to run away, or flight behaviour, involves a pattern of escaping from stressful, challenging, or uncomfortable situations rather than facing them. This behaviour can manifest in various ways, such as physically fleeing a location, avoiding difficult conversations, or disengaging from responsibilities and commitments.
Psychologically, this tendency may stem from underlying issues such as anxiety, fear of failure, or past trauma. Individuals might seek to evade situations that trigger emotional distress or feelings of inadequacy. In some cases, chronic avoidance can lead to negative outcomes, including strained relationships, missed opportunities, and increased stress.
Addressing a tendency to run away often involves exploring and understanding the root causes of the avoidance behaviour. Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), can help individuals develop coping strategies and build resilience. Facing fears gradually and setting small, manageable goals can also aid in overcoming avoidance and promoting more adaptive behaviours.
