Manson's law of avoidance says that, the more something threatens your identity, the more you will avoid it and I (Manson) bring this up in terms of what are the pieces of information that we protect ourselves from because ultimately, like grasping onto some sense of certainty, it's a means of protecting our ego from perceived threats and so, Manson's law basically says that, the more threatening something is, the more we will become certain in things that will help us avoid dealing with that truth.
An extension of Manson's law of avoidance is that, we should define ourselves as loosely and ambiguously as possible because the less defined ourself is, the less we need to cling to defense mechanisms or faulty ideas to protect ourselves. This is fundamentally a Buddhist idea, the idea of no self, if there is no such thing as self, then there's nothing to protect and there's nothing that you need to be certain about in the first place.

Boss - "Hey Bert since I pay you a rather nice salary can you help out to move these really light boxes over there?"
Highest payed employee "No Ernie! That's not my job!" Bert then vanishes for the rest of the day hiding in dark corners waiting to go home early as they "worked" their lunch break.
Another employee rolls their eyes as they say to the boss - "Bert's one of those pathological avoidance persons"

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."

A person who does everything within their power to avoid taking accountability for their life and decisions. They'll expect their lives to improve magically through no effort of their own, have an acute and outspoken sense of toxic entitlement, and blame circumstances out of their control, society, or mental health, for their bad fortune while actively avoiding all actions that would lead them to betterment. The typical avoider will live with someone vulnerable to their alleged plight and leech off them, creating a manipulative, abusive and/or at least parasitic relationship that loops each time a solution is suggested.
Avoiders become aggressive when advice is given to them, no matter how convenient or simple, as anyone with a differing view or options is painted as not trying to understand them but causing more stress instead. This is done as a shield, and often recalled for the express purpose of acting out a guilt trip. As they often have no real income they may be found begging and manipulating their friends for money, then bragging about how well they're doing, until the funds run out. Avoiders are unwilling to change and should, in turn, be avoided themselves.

Avoider: "I'm so depressed. Nothing is working out for me."
Friend: "We had a 6 hour talk with a recruiter willing to set you u-"
Avoider: "Wow I can't believe I'm in such a state and all you can think about is work. Whatever. Bye.."
