avoidance behaviours are actions that people take to avoid or escape from unpleasant situations, feelings, or thoughts. For example, someone who is afraid of flying might avoid travelling by plane, or someone who is anxious about social situations might avoid going to parties. avoidance behaviours can provide temporary relief from distress, but they can also maintain or worsen the underlying problem in the long term.
