How often....

I don't personally compromise, but there are times when my guard is down and compromised. Then when I come to my senses, I hate what I did. Most of the time, I stand up and confront someone who did wrong. I don't let it pass by without telling them it's wrong, even if it offends their ego! As the Bible says, "Open rebuke is better than secret love."

Humm...I'd say somewhat I guess? I am a peacemaker / pacifist type person who HATES confrontation. And I tend to let a lot of little things slide. Though if it's something I feel very strongly about I will not back down. I may not seek a fight but I maintain my position - and if brought up I will defend it so to speak. I guess it really just depends too on what it is. The more I answer this though...the more I think I don't compromise my morals and values...at least not my extremely important ones. Am I making any sense? LOL

Yes I have compromised my morals and values to keep the peace. I ignore rather than confront someone I know to be lying. In the case of friend or family heading on a downward path I have in the past said things, tried to help, passed info along to others I felt might deal better with it but my words and actions have been ignored. I'm a coward. I'm afraid of confrontation and I go to jelly if someone is angry at me. I think it comes from being beaten and criticised constantly as a child from an early age. It's something I despise myself for.
