Confrontation

Does anyone else really fear confrontational situations? Like when you know you have to confront someone and tell them you are not happy about something and you know it will lead to an arguement. Especially at work but anywhere really

I am always so scared of confrontation. Also when I am in that situation I get tounge tied and lost for words, like everything I want to say goes out of my head and I end up making a mess of what Im saying

Does anyone else relate to this or have any tips of what to do and how to handle these situations? I have to have a confrontation with my consultant at my agency on Monday as I have found out they have been underpaying me for my job and lying to me about how much I should be paid. Its even harder cos he always acts so nice even though I know hes screwing me over. If people act nice, even if they aren't it makes me find confrontation even harder

    You have just outlined exactly what I’m like, I get to the point of where my childhood stutter comes back, I normally take the option of flight instead of fight. The last time I did engage I was made to feel that the issue was my fault,  when I know it wasn’t.  My wife had to sort the problem out which makes me sound really weak, it was a problem with a neighbour. The neighbours last remark was that I didn’t seem to talk or communicate properly.
