are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?

[Soot Sprite]

Normally I engage it head on, but it kinda depends on the situation. I try not to needlessly start arguments, but some of the people I work with go out of their way to start drama. If it's a stupid argument I try to just not let it bother me but if it's a bigger deal I'll start intervening.

I hate conflicts with all my heart, so I would do anything to not get into one.

 

[~CrystalCarnations~]

Avoid at all costs.

Although that might just be as the only “arguments” I’ve gotten into were with my parents, who would keep shouting and screaming long after I was clearly terrified.

My ears and feelings are extremely sensitive, so even just the thought of being yelled at makes my ears hurt and my eyes water. I’d probably break down in the corner if I got into conflict, let alone into a fully-heated argument. I’m pretty pathetic >~<

Though, if anyone purposely dared to hurt my friends in front of me, their words wouldn’t defend them against my fists. So I guess it depends on whether it’s directed at me or a friend.

I said avoid. I'll lie if it gets me out of talking, lol

UNLESS, it is with a close group of friends, then we'll disagree just to poke fun at one another.

 

[SensaiGallade]

I tend to avoid conflict normally however if someone tries to bull**** and lie to me I'm not afraid to speak up and put them in their place

 

[Croconaw]

This is an interesting question. It really depends on the situation. I try to be more of a confronter because I believe in confronting problems head on.

 

[Peter]

totally depends on how much it's bothering me

 

[nintendofan85]

I said "both, it depends". I try to avoid it if I can, but sometimes I have no choice.

 

[Corrie]

I default to avoidance but if it's intense enough or I'm angry enough, watch out lmao

 

[Wildtown]

definitely depends on the situation

 

[Saylor]

I think I can be way too sensitive so if someone hurts my feelings but I feel like it wasn't intentional or a big deal I'll just keep it to myself, otherwise I prefer to engage in it. I hate being involved in conflict so if there's a problem between me and someone else I'd rather get it out in the open and deal with it before it has the potential to get worse.

 

[duckykate]

i don't like getting into conflicts but if someone hurts a friend of mine or if it's something i really care about i have to speak up

- - - Post Merge - - -

but i'm also really sensitive and i'll cry for 3 hours if someone calls me stupid so

 

[Buttonsy]

I prefer to just engage it head-on 9 times out of 10, I can't stand uncertainty and loose ends.

 

[Runaburezu]

I try to avoid letting it start, but once it does, I make flame wars look like civil discussions in comparison.
