Avoidant Humans and Avoidance in OCD

Whether you are avoidant with romantic relationships or avoiding activities that take you out of your comfort zone Or avoiding topics that you prefer not to speak about.... This is a harmful way of approaching the world. It is unhealthy for you and it is unhealthy for the people that you are behaving avoidantly with. Avoidance is the opposite of what God wanted us to do with each other. You were born with a sense of needing togetherness needing to be held and needing to be around other humans. Anything else is abnormal. And this abnormal trend is only increasing in the United States. As parents or lovers or bosses....we need to STOP this trend. And that means not accepting the avoidant behavior. If you have an employee or a child who will only text....force a phone call by setting a meeting time over and over if necessary. If you have a lover that hangs up the phone when you accuse them of lying...drive to their house or set a meeting to continue the discussion. A person who says "I don't do conflict because it makes me anxious"....is possibly just a person who is saying "You caught me lying but I am not going to take accountability to apologize" WOW....why are we allowing sociopathic behavior? By allowing bad behavior...you are changing the world to a bad place!! Call people out on this stuff even if they are OCD....it's no excuse. If they are so uncomfortable with certain situations that they avoid them at the cost of hurting another? Maybe they need to spend time in a mental institution....because they obviously are not working on their OCD to defeat it?! Take the kid gloves off with these folks or enjoy a dangerous hate-filled future. I mean my neighbor's dog bit me and instead of discussing it....he ran away and now he avoids me when he sees me? Frickin weird. I plan to go knock on his door. I didn't need stitches but I am not putting up with avoidance. Avoidance harms people. And psychologists say it is just as bad as "hitting someone" if you avoid them. It's often a form of passive aggressive abuse.
