anxiety (-); looking for advice 

what do you do when someone is the root of all of your anxieties with a group you want to be a part of, and even though they want you around because of history, you both feel mutually uncomfortable around each other because of these anxieties?

to complicate matters, what if every time you talk to them about these anxieties, it hurts them and you both end up feeling very bad when they react with anger as a result?

is there a way out of this?
