避之不及趋之若鹜
[bì zhī bù jí qū zhī ruò wù]
The phrase '避之不及趋之若鹜' means 'Avoiding it as fast as possible but being attracted like moths to a flame'. It describes a situation where someone tries hard to avoid something, yet can't help but be drawn towards it. It conveys a sense of mixed emotions—simultaneously repelled and allured.
