Is ignoring problems a good thing?

Answer 1

Sometimes. The key to mature, healthy living is to know when.
Example--many people keep their eyes half shut before marriage and wide open after, and instead they should keep them wide open before marriage and half shut after.

Answer 2

Aight,Im a junior in college and since freshmen yr Ive been trying to 'figure myself out' and I have been in your position before...Personally I think I have answered this question for myself and still searching for more answers to many other questions........Generally, NO! Ignoring your problems (for the most part) is a GOOD thing. It will help you think positive, causing

you to attract more positive things to come your way. If its something that has happened, learn from it and DO NOT dwell on it. Many problems thought about too much will only cause you to back-peddle and create a snowball effect of overthinking and worry. Which may cloud your mind in the future. Make sure you find a solution to the problem, do what you can to make it better and move on. Each day you wake up, you have a clean slate (whether you believe that or not). Check this out bro, it helped me a lot. Really, watch the full thing. Im not one of those religious types AT ALL or believe in stupid, ridiculous and crazy psycho shiit. But this WILL help you feel better and less unsure. Also make you more confident in what needs to be done in your life to make it better for YOU. (eventually others). http://youtube.com/watch?v=csiAsbPxmmY
The one guy you will see who is an "entrepreneur" will answer your question the most...I think its about half way through. And you know what, this shiit really does make sense if you think about it enough. Whenever you get off track, watch it again. I attempt to watch it about once a month in the beginning of the day. That day is almost always my most productive, happy day. I stopped answering questions on this site a long time ago(bc people dont ask REAL shhit) So good question, nd try not to ignore this response like most people on 'yahoo answers' would.

-Shhit happens man, realize that.

My Number one most favorite quote that I like to read occasionally, from my favorite movie 'blow' :
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

No. Think about it like this. You have a car that helps you get around, one that you love and appreciate. Then one day there is a mechanical PROBLEM with the car. But you choose to ignore it, in the hopes that it will go away, that it will fix itself. Well as you can see where I am going with this... The problem worsens, and the engine gets worse, but you continue to ignore it. Eventually the car is no longer drivable or you need a whole new engine. In life our problems are just the same, they need to be oiled, and the fluids need filled to maintain a healthy lifestyle. To put it another way, let's suppose your on a soccer team, and your practicing for the big game, but you can't seem to get your left to kick as well as your right and you often lose the ball while dribbling down the field, so you just ignore the problem, and don't practice as hard as you should, and its time for the big game, what happens during the game? You lose the ball more than you wanted to, knowing you could have done better. Or your tilling your garden, and you notice a weed, its just one weed right? so you don't pull it. The next day another weed props up, its just one more weed, what's the harm? Then another weed the next day? But its okay, its one measly little bugger. So when it comes time to harvest, what do you think happens to your crop? Ignoring any problem in life, never makes the problem go away. You can hide your dirty clothes behind your closet door, but it doesn't clean them, and when you go to find your favorite shirt, you may notice a few more moth holes in it than you had anticipated. Even in problems in relationships if you don't tell the other person your problem, i.e. what is really bothering you, in a healthy non-judgemental way, it won't make that person want to change, because A. they won't know what you want, and B. No one can change until they want to change, but if they don't know what is upsetting you, the tension in the air, eventually becomes a monster inside of you toward them. It starts out small, you get mildly irritated about one thing, and finally in the end you're furious just for the sake of being furious, the small campfire becomes a forest fire. And you can't put out a forest fire, with one shot of whiskey either. In cases like this it is better to learn how to put out that fire in yourself, in other words you criticing someone else's sins, rather than looking at your own, and put that out before it gets out of hand.

Answer 4

No, it most definitely is not a good thing to ignore your problems. If you have a problem, you need to get it sorted out as soon as possible. That's what I always do in my life.

Answer 5

Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. It just prolongs the agony of it.
