It seems that from a passive perspective, to avoid that which annoys you, or invokes or anger or fury, or things which are not good to your eyes; to simply avoid, is the best strategy.
But at the same time, to avoid is also an act of cowardice— sometimes.
I suppose the nuance here is this bifurcation;
I just don’t want to be interrupted, or to lose my focus!
So for me, the reason why I often prefer to be alone and solo, is because I want to stay focused in my thoughts.
When I want to be focused, when I want to be focused in myself?
For me then, maybe avoiding people simply my way of focusing.
