Normally I engage it head on, but it kinda depends on the situation. I try not to needlessly start arguments, but some of the people I work with go out of their way to start drama. If it's a stupid argument I try to just not let it bother me but if it's a bigger deal I'll start intervening.
Although that might just be as the only “arguments” I’ve gotten into were with my parents, who would keep shouting and screaming long after I was clearly terrified.
My ears and feelings are extremely sensitive, so even just the thought of being yelled at makes my ears hurt and my eyes water. I’d probably break down in the corner if I got into conflict, let alone into a fully-heated argument. I’m pretty pathetic >~<
Though, if anyone purposely dared to hurt my friends in front of me, their words wouldn’t defend them against my fists. So I guess it depends on whether it’s directed at me or a friend.
This is an interesting question. It really depends on the situation. I try to be more of a confronter because I believe in confronting problems head on.
I think I can be way too sensitive so if someone hurts my feelings but I feel like it wasn't intentional or a big deal I'll just keep it to myself, otherwise I prefer to engage in it. I hate being involved in conflict so if there's a problem between me and someone else I'd rather get it out in the open and deal with it before it has the potential to get worse.
