I am the least confrontational person you’ll ever meet. People have (on many occasions) literally harassed me in my face and I didn’t do anything. At best I would tell a teacher or the higher up at wherever I was at. There’s this part of my brain that thinks people will just blow me off if I am upfront with them. The few times I tried they all failed, so I’ve never bothered.
The same thing applies to friendships and relationships. I avoid confrontation whenever possible. If a friend is clearly mad or feels a certain way about me I just don’t bring up the subject. In the rare case they do introduce the subject I try to answer in the lightest way possible. I’m that afraid of the other person having a strong negative reaction.
I could go on for a while. My inability to be confrontational has led to so many instances of harassment or misunderstandings. It’s the number one thing I plan on talking with my therapists.
