The post frames being avoidant as always being about not hurting someone else's feelings and I think that's almost never the case.
It's usually juggling:
- As a rule I usually end up happy I went to things in hindsight, even if I don't want to in the moment
- Empirically, canceling even once on someone significantly reduced the odds of plans being remade
- I want to see myself as the type of person who doesn't cancel plans
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI think the point is to own your preference either way. Don't lie to yourself or lie to them. This reduces cognitive dissonance and anxiety. If you go, don't drag your feet and tell yourself it is for them. If you cancel, don't lie and make up excuses.
