confrontation rears its ugly head

By wordwizard · Oct 1, 2009 · ·
  1. My good friend and I planned a trip to the states to go early x-mas shopping.

    She then proceeded to tell me (a few days later) that she was going in the middle of october and wont be going again. she wants to go to this one concert with her sister, and if I can make it great, if not then you're out of luck.

    So needless to say, the day she picked I could not go. I told her it was ok. It wasn't.
    I was so fuming mad that she blew our plans off to go do something different with someone else.

    To top it all off, she called me and asked me to babysit while she was out of town.

    I dreamt about how mad I was.....for weeks I stewed over it. Today I finally talked to her about how frusterated I was. the moment I told her I felt soooooo much better. It didn't matter what her response was (which was guilt and apologies) I just felt like I finally acted like the adult I knew I was.

    Does anyone else have confrontation issues?

    I'm a twenty-two year old man... I don't even like picking up the phone. My internet dies, I take a nap. Brett Favre pisses me off by beating the Niners, I read a book. Confrontation does not exist in my world. I think, however, our reasons for avoiding confrontation might be a tad different. I just don't want to have to bother with it all. I think that makes me lazy... hmm.

    Good for you for standing up for yourself, however. This may sound facetious, but I honestly do believe that each of us as an individual owe it ourselves to be happy. When you let someone take that away from you then you're doing yourself a disservice.

    Yes, I do. I hate confrontation, even when I engage in it, I'm hating it. I'll take something and chew on it until it has lost it's flavor, then, I chew on it some more. Sometimes it is just best to say what you need to say and move past it. Other times, it's best to keep it quiet.

    We all have to find our gound, and our voice, and weigh it out carefully. ;)

    I rarely end up in any form of confrontation, because I always manage to find a way out of it. I hate confrontations, and always avoid it.
