Avoidance tactics and strategies - why do you do them, what do you do to overcom!
Question: My question is pretty much in the subject line: do you struggle with avoidance tactics (to get out of obligations, duties, places you feel you might fail, etc.)
If so, why?
What do you do to try and overcome these overwhelming feelings, if anything?
What has proven to be helpful in fulfilling your obligations/duties?

First realize that most of your fear is irrational. Is there any particular reason that you are fearful of these situations, have you had negative past experiences? This may sound strange but youve tought your brain to be afraid, and so when you tease your brain with the idea of those situations there is going to be a reaction. The best way to overcome a fear is to face it head on, simply.
-I don't struggle with avoidance tactics, because they usually work for me.
-I don't have any overwhelming feelings about avoiding things, I just avoid them. If I do, I tell somebody, and try to deal with it on my own.
-I guess being so bored, and so out of my normal mindset, that I do what I need to do to deal with my duties.
By the way, I'm talking about home chores.
You know that feeling you get when you are doing a jigsaw? You have invested hours of painstaking labour, when it suddenly occurs to you that all the pieces may not be there. What, even if it is a brand new box, if the manufacturers inadvertently missed a crucial segment? How annoying would that be? Welcome to life on Planet Earth; the place where everything nearly, but not quite, fits together. A key situation in your life now can be improved. It cannot, though, be perfected.
