You've been confronted or you are confronting?

If someone confronts me, number 1 thing I do is not to react immediately, I listen to them completely (though may ask question in the middle if its a long confrontation). Most of the time when someone is confronting you, there is some element of truth. I always apologize for that element and then clarify the rest of the situation on why certain thing happened the certain way.

My goal at the end is to bring the relationship back at the level where it was before the situation took place.

if you know the situation is going to escalate to something bigger just take a deep breath and count to ten to calm yourself down or if you can't calm down on the spot walk away and calm your self down..........once calm think of a reasonable way of handling it so it doesn't get out of hand........remember for every situation there is a solution that can be reached by talking it out in a calm manner

TLK…I wish my approach was as sensible as yours and Mirch’s. :naak:

I try to reason or argue with them but if nothing works I leave…like while they are talking…I walk away from them.

THEN I think and think and think and think and think until I can make shami kabab out of the issue.

THEN I cry.

THEN I dont even feel like talking it out with them anymore so I dont.

like physically coming towards me and screaming or about to hit me, i would run and hide :cryb: or close a door on them, i get scared of them, i’m a total wimp when it comes to physical confrontation, especially if it’s some huge 6 ft guy

if somebody was screaming at me on the phone, that’s different, I can take them and try to calm them down:chupki:

bring it on!

Re: How do you handle confrontation?

i have never done anything to be confronted about. although i have done the confronting to others. either they start lying and denie everything, or pretend they didn't hear a word i said. which ticks me off even further.

Re: How do you handle confrontation?

I hate confrontations. I am usually mean to the person and do react badly. I yell, scream, curse and hit them.

My voice gets louder at the worst, very loud.

Re: How do you handle confrontation?

violence back will definitely get both or one of us in jail so that's why slamming the door on a phyically confrontational person is necessary for me or else i'm afraid as self defense i'll kick them in the crotch...judo chop
