Well sometimes people don't want to acknowledge it, because it can be difficult and the stress of dealing with problems can be really overwhelming, so most times we choose to live in the denial. I have done that many times in my life and it came with massive repercussions
For me, I don't think I want to run away, although the stress of tackling problems and the money you need to do it can be daunting, but that's thet troubles of life, it can be harder for some people
Living in self denial isn't gonna help, rather tackling the problem one step at a time is the way to go.
Have a pleasant week ahead.
