They might judge me or go against me if I confront them. They might even be angry with me,so, I tend to avoid them.

Because of my PTSD, I am afraid of how people will react and often create overly dramatic consequences

Confrontation is not really scary for me. Unless it is some one close to me.

My childhood days was full of shouting, Mum being bullied by family members. There was shouting almost everyday, Mum crying... I guess that has made me the person I am today I dont like and avoid confrontation. Sometimes I dont think its worth it and Im just passive. I guess most of the times its because I dont want to cause conflict, and think its better if we all just got on... but then I am too soft and I am the people who other people take advantage of.

They can become hostile and retaliate or don't understand or say hurtful things or become aggressive or vengeful.

It can be scary because the may lose respect for you. Or, even worse, you lose respect for you for waiting so long.
