Avoiding

If anyone if avoiding anything here it's you.

Hym "You're avoiding what you think is the problem and hoping it goes away but that didn't work for me and it isn't going to work for you. I'm going to do the same exact thing YOU CHOSE to do to me and I'm going to make it worse deliberately and you know exactly what form that is going to take because you know I am not going to let you take this from me. There will be a price. I don't care who pays it. It is better for me to get what I want than it is for someone's kid to pay the price for you to feel like the world is the way you want it to be. I don't have to do your worldview. If you try to make me I will murder a child. THIS constitutes trying to make me. I'm not going away. And IF I DO you have to cross your fingers and hope the sycophants didn't work as well as the AI did."

approach-avoidance defensive conflict

Being a backronym of AADC (the title of an Indonesian movie), "approach-avoidance defensive conflict" refers to the psychological struggle where a single goal has both positive and negative aspects, causing a person to be both drawn to and repelled by it. This internal tension leads to stress and indecision as the individual weighs the pros and cons, and the conflict often results in periods of back-and-forth thinking. Examples include wanting a promotion but dreading the longer hours, or wanting a vacation but being discouraged by the high cost.

She faced an approach-avoidance defensive conflict when she considered accepting the job offer; the salary was great, but the thought of a longer commute made her hesitate.
