Does your anxiety cause you to avoid certain situations?

We know that Social Anxiety can cause us to not want to go out and interact with others, but for general anxiety is there any other situations you try to avoid because it may trigger an anxiety attack? I find myself getting anxious if my routine changes, and when it comes time to do something out of the ordinary I get anxious. Even if it's a minor change, like a few weeks ago we had a Chili cook off at work and I was anxious walking up to the table to get food. I still sucked it up and got some Chili though.
