I Am a Coward

I don’t wanna admit it. I’ve been called a coward because I’m too afraid to stand up for myself, run away from my problems or even run away from conflict. Like when ex friends wanna talk to me or have an issue, I avoid answering them and avoid conflict. Tell the the truth, am I a coward for avoiding conflict and running away from my problems? I don’t wanna have any conflicts or make anyone mad. I avoid conflict but the problems seems to get bigger. I thought it would end problems.
