My Aversion to Confrontations

Hey there,

So, I wanted to talk about something personal—I really don't like getting into arguments. It's been a thing in different parts of my life, and today, I want to tell you why.

Not long ago, I had to face a confrontation. You know, that moment when things get tense, words get heated, and everyone's just not seeing eye to eye. Instead of jumping into the chaos, I tend to take a step back. I try to find different ways to sort things out without adding more drama. This comes from a bunch of experiences that have shaped how I see things.

In this recent confrontation, I got hit with a bunch of accusations, but I could only respond to one of them. It bugged me to see my character being twisted based on innocent chats and actions, some of which never even happened. Rather than making things worse, I chose to step back and understand where everyone was coming from. This situation reminded me of a feeling I've had before.

I realized that, no matter how much I explained, some people had already made up their minds about me, and that's a tough thing to change.

After thinking about it, I figured out that I'm not afraid of arguments; I just really like things to be harmonious. I see confrontations as chances to grow and understand each other. Harmony, not just for peace, but as a way to have a good conversation, became my thing.

Think of it like fixing what you can. When there's an issue, I'd rather try to find common ground, look for compromises, and make a space where different ideas can come together. This doesn't mean ignoring conflicts; it just means seeing them as chances to solve things together.

To sum it up, avoiding arguments for me isn't about running away; it's about dealing with them in a way that's understanding and focused on finding common ground. I really believe that trying to understand each other, even when we disagree, can lead to better solutions and stronger connections between people.

So, as I keep figuring out this whole human interaction dance, maybe take a moment to think about how you deal with arguments.

What if, instead of dodging them, we faced confrontations with the goal of growing and understanding each other?
