Answer:

Avoidant

Step-by-step explanation:

Avoidant is a way in which a person tries to avoid someone due to some certain reasons.

A person with avoidance behaviors may go to any length to run away or escape from some difficult thinking which may be due to panicking, rejection, lack of ability to interact or anxiety. Example a person may be invited for a job assessment but that individual may avoid going to the assessment centre because he/she is scared of failure.

Jennifer has AVOIDANCE DISORDER because she kept on rescheduling her doctors' appointments to later and later dates.
