Only you (and a T?) can answer that... whether it is your custom to find a reason to avoid or not. But no one can progress in therapy if they feel they have to acquiesce to everyone else's confrontations. Perhaps, if that is the case, a person isn't ready for group therapy? "Ready" isn't the right word... for I do not care for group therapy at all, for myself... it isn't the way I progress.

And, thinking more, we all have avoidant tendencies, imo... no one wants to face hate, or illness, or bias... etc.. it's a self preservation response.
