I'm that kind of person that I don't want to argue. And I always avoid conflict. But when I realise that my friend is taking advantage of my kindness i just cut the relations with them and move on. Is this a problem, and why do i react in this way?

Sounds like that is part of who you are. You take the path of least resistance and there is a price to pay.

There is a personality disorder that sabotages relations, but I don't think this is your problem because you avoid the conflict, not cause the conflict. I think, more likely you simply have taken a stand against people who would try to hurt you or use you. It is only a problem if you perceive it as a problem. I think, you react this way because you have become tired of being taken advantage of in situations and it is easier to do what you do then to confront the person knowing they aren't going to change.

It sounds like you have problems with standing up for yourself and saying no to people. People respect you MORE when you don't allow them to take advantage of you, unless that is all they were after.
For this situation a backbone is required. Get one, use it. It saves a lot of feeling bad about being taken advantage of unless that is what you want.
