How to approach aversion?
Hello all. I have been interested in Buddhism for some time but my knowledge is still pretty basic. I read Buddhism for Dummies and watched some Youtube videos but that has been it. One thing that I find easy to understand is the idea that attachment to the things we enjoy can cause suffering. However, I have recently started paying more attention to aversion and it equally makes sense that aversion to the things we don't enjoy can also cause suffering.
The problem for me is that attachment is easier to deal with than aversion. I am pretty simple and easy going so detachment is easier to practice. I have a hard time, however, approaching things to which I am averse, like physical labor or social interaction (I'm an introvert). Does anyone have any insights into how to deal with aversion?
