"You can't run away from your problems" is something I've heard so much, and have come to believe is bullshit. Sometimes running away makes them worse, sometimes it just delays dealing with them (which can be a godsend), and sometimes it just works. I've run away from many big problems in my life, e.g. by moving to another state or one time getting a divorce, and I"m into multiple decades of them not catching up to me.

I think people might really mean "I don't want you to be able to run away from your problems without consequences because I can't run from mine."
