I have a habit of running away from friendships after altercations, especially if they leave me feeling embarrassed about my behavior. If I'm the one in the wrong, I tend to send massive, essay-sized apologies and then remove myself from that person's life. Partly as some form of punishment to myself, and I guess it's easier to run than be rejected.

I'm curious if other people do this? I'm currently in the limbo phase with a few friends where I'm scared to reach out after some drama, but I'm so tired of running.
