# Avoidance

*Asked when it fits · https://insenia.app/questions/avoidance*

What was pushed to tomorrow, left unanswered or kept busy around, asked without judgement.

## Why Insenia asks this

Avoidance is a thematic dimension, so the wording changes from evening to evening and the answers feed the profile rather than a time series. The questions are small and specific: a message left unanswered on purpose, a task put off since this morning, a screen reached for to stop thinking.

Nothing here is asked as an accusation. One of the questions in this dimension is whether there is a question you would rather not be asked tonight, and no is a complete answer.

## What it tends to reveal

After a couple of weeks the things being postponed tend to cluster around a few themes, often a conversation, a money matter or a decision. Seeing the same category appear several times is usually more informative than any single evening.

The app also notices how a hard moment was met, whether by leaning in, stepping back or distracting. It records the mix as it is and does not grade it.
