If you are saying that there is someone or something trying to get away from you and others, the correct phrase is: It is impossible to flee us. or It is impossible to flee from us.
If you are saying that psychologically you and others cannot get out of your own way, the correct phrase would be: It is impossible to flee from ourselves.

to flee means to escape from or vanish.
flee us doesn't make any sense.
'flee from' is the correct form, but if you say flee from ourselves, it does not make sense either. I am not an English teacher and I hope I answered your question correctly.

I agree with Beach Saint...to flee from ourselves is correct if we want to get away from ourselves...to flee from us sounds good if somebody wants to get away from us...you really need to use "from" near the verb "to flee"...I think...

That would be "which one is correct". Now on to you question. I believe it is "It is impossible to flee us.

the first one is correct because "ourselves: can only be used if talking about your own (people?)
