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
Any level of confrontational interaction is impossibly for me to instigate. I would avoid that situation completely. When I sense a brewing confrontational event, I will leave wherever I am and go home. Straight to my safe place, where I will order items or clean something. “running home” is my go to response.
Theres a really good Lindisfarne song called Run for Home, I often play it while Im out and it sums up how I feel
