I believe you can face difficult situation ksmita. Yes, maybe now you can't but sooner you will. Everyone of us has that courage to face everything even the most difficult problems. Start facing little difficulties, you have to learn it. May I ask you a question? What is your goal in life?

hello ksmita actually you don't have to dream big. you can start with a simple goal. try to face your fears little by little. I know you can do it, everybody can.

I think many people are escapists to a degree. It's far easier to ignore problems or even run away from them, than it is to face them - or so it seems. The truth is that when we don't face them, they just keep bothering us. For myself, I sometimes try to escape for awhile, then realize that the only way I'm going to get rid of the problem is to face it and deal with it. I hope you realize that, too.

I don't think this describes me now. I used to be this way, but I have found that it is usually a lot easier to deal with a problem when it first arises than it is to wait or put it off...

Hello ksmita, Not me, I am not an escapist. U know my husband is like that. Whenever there is a difficult situation or a crisis of any sort, he is the one to run and hide himself and then it is left to me to stay calm and face the situation. Sometimes I do wish that I had somebody, behind whom I could hide myself so that I do not have to face that particular situation.

it might be the problem of not only you also the problem of whole nation when we not escapist there were no any anti social moments in our earth and in our nation and nearby our house we even do not like to face a very simple problem or mischief that happen in front of our eyes. according to me i ask and face bravely such a moment.

Well, there are times where I am like this. I think its not escaping the problem more than just getting myself ready to deal with it. Getting a clear head so I can tackle the problem head on. Reality will catch up eventually but I just need a few moments to take a breather. Than I'll be ready to face it but facing something overwhelmed is hardly ever a good idea.

I was an escapist myself. When I feel that life is really pissing me of. I go out of town. Drink and smoke till my throat runs dry. After a few months I realize i couldn't stop anything from happening. The best way that I could do is think that I can do this and theirs gonna be more coming and I should be ready..
