Avoidance Theory is founded on the core concept called the Avoidance Principle.
The Avoidance Principle is a very simple ideology which states that, if you are annoyed,
disgusted, or otherwise inconvenienced by a person, you should avoid them. Avoidance Theory
tries to formulate a methodology for describing the ways in which a person can be avoided.
As of now, these are the basic methods of avoidance created by the creator of Avoidance
Theory. They are as follows:
Always have a general layout of the area you are walking around in contained in your
mind. Maps are nice and cute looking, however, they are too hard to take out at times when
a sudden encounter could be inevitable. When you are walking around, make a mental note
of all possible escape routes and hiding places.
If the undesirable person is walking towards you, take one of the escape routes even if
they see you. Pretend you don't see them. It is more confusing to a prospective approaching
person if you turn around many corners and use a variety of paths so they cannot follow you
in your escape. As they say in The Inlaws, "serpentine!"
If the undesirable person is walking behind you and they call your name, pretend not to
hear them and proceed to carry out one of your escape routes.
If the undesirable person is in your class, sit by the door so that you can leave class
very quickly. Try to exit the building at different exits each time, or at least, a different
direction from the one the undesirable person takes.
If the above is not possible, linger in the classroom until the undesirable person has
left.
If the undesirable person comes up to you in class, pretend you are sick and leave to
the bathroom.
Don't let the undesired one make eye contact with you. Don't give them any encouragement
when they talk to you.
If the undesired one comes up and talks to you one time, this is what you shouldn't do:
talk to them and smile in a friendly way, respond what they have to say, then say you
enjoyed talking with them. If you do that kind of crap, they will think you like talking
to them. If you are nice to the undesirable person, it is simply going to be much more
difficult to get rid of them.
