I hate conflict. I don’t like being at odds with anyone, not even other drivers in traffic. It’s not that I can’t stand up for myself, I just don’t want to have to. I expect people to be civilized and polite and relatively friendly.
It always throws me when someone is antagonistic or confrontational. It’s not that I can’t handle it; I can stand up for myself if I have to. I just don’t understand why it’s necessary so often.
I’m not saying, “Why can’t we all just get along.” It’s only natural that we will disagree with each other. I just hate it when disagreements spiral down into personal attacks and bitterness.
Besides, if everyone would just agree with me, there would be no need for conflict.
Gotta agree with your last statement for sure! 🙂
We have totally forgotten how to debate and disagree fairly. It's easier to get our own way by bullying adn slander.
