I believe avoidance-avoidance conflict are the most stressful because either of the outcomes are rewarding. I was in an avoidance-avoidance conflict when I was in middle school. I was the setter of the volleyball team. My right hand made contact with the ball at a wrong angle and it sprained one of my fingers. I’m thinking I can put some ice on it and shake it off for the next game because I still wanted to be able to play. However, that turned out to be a bad idea. My finger was so swollen and in pain that anything I did with that hand would just throb of pain. Moral of the story is that I did go to the doctor and had to sit out of a week of games because of my sprained finger.
