i have learnt that you cannot love some one fully, unless you love yourself fully, mastering that is a toughy
And regarding avoiding things - i find that it can only make you stronger to deal with a place/situation/person, and move on. You can't avoid things/places/people forever.
You should of course, take time to evaluate/deal etc and not go any where near these people/places things before you are ready :)
