When things get overwhelming or uncomfortable the resistance can encourage us to hide. To put blinders on and hope that things resolve themselves or that everyone else decides to ignore whatever is happening as well.
Sometimes those blinders can be helpful in the short term. Perhaps we need a break to get ready to deal with something. As long as we have the self-awareness to understand when we're hiding, we have the ability to take the blinders off eventually and realize we need to go straight through whatever is happening.
