I have a problem that I am currently facing. There is a certain person in the family that triggers me and due to their actions I feel very angry and generate negative mind-states. The strategy I have adopted is to avoid this person all together , to the point of not even seeing them. I find that this helps me to keep calm and avoid negative mind states. Is this a good way to go about this situation? Can we avoid all triggers that generate negative mind states. Does that help in spiritual development?

what is the effectiveness of removing triggers for temptations (food, entertainment etc ) ?
i for example took apart the stationary (to avoid watch youtube videos for example for fun) computer i have but after some time i reassembled it
if there wont be one attachment there would be others than even if less obvious attachments - can they be less bad ?
monks try to avoid this triggers as well i believe (like asking woman to dress modest when visiting monasteries) so i guess it has its merits
i wonder how much of a change to a practice this can make - would love to hear general thoughts on this subject
