回避-回避，双重-趋近-回避

Avoidance-avoidance conflicts occur when an individual faces two or more unpleasant goals or events.

For instance, someone who fears dental procedures may be torn between enduring a toothache and facing dental treatment. In such situations, people often delay making decisions, hoping that circumstances will change or that the problem will resolve itself.

Such conflicts create a lose-lose scenario, where two conflicting negative choices result in increased stress and indecision.

In contrast, a double-approach-avoidance conflict involves a choice between two goals, each with both positive and negative aspects.

For instance, someone might need to choose between a house in the country, which offers privacy, fresh air, and quiet but requires a long commute, and a house in the city, which provides easier access to one's job but is crowded, noisy, and polluted.

The conflicting elements within each option often lead to indecisiveness, as individuals weigh the pros and cons of each option, complicating the decision-making process.
