Is it right to avoid confrontation?  

As for me, I reaaly do avoid confrontations. The aura is getting more sad as you talk things more. Saying sorry and I forgive you is enough for me but my gf elaborate the mistakes like she or I have done and that is really awkward for me

There are times when confrontation is necessary and others that are just not even worth it. Also the main factor for me is how exactly I will handle the confrontation and will I have to deal with this in a worse fashion if the issue continues to grow. I always find that addressing things before they come to a bad thing then it can actually benefit both people.

hi careguarden I also like to avoid confrontations as it took my blue star ten with a reputation of 99/100 down to a five overnight as two people did not like my discussion on s moking being unhealthy and stayed up all of one night minusing every thing I ever posted. I complained to mylot admins and they found the two trolls and kicked them out. but they only put my star back to an eight then I worked the last few months and got up to a nine. so in mylot its not all that safe to get into too many confrontations on discussions.

I avoid confrontation as much as possible. I believe that cooler heads should prevail and people tend to say hurtful things when they're angry. I think it's just a normal reflex for people to hurt back and this usually happens in confrontation. The thing is, hurtful words can no longer be taken back once uttered. Which only ends up with the other party getting hurt and will hurt back in return. On the other hand you feel guilty over the things you said. In the long run, confrontation only leads to more separation instead of making amends with each other.

I avoid confrontation as much as possible but sometimes it is just impossible and you do have to confront someone but I try to stay calm when I have to confront someone.

Hello careguarden... I was told once that nobody wins in an argument. And i believe so. If i need to justify myself with someone about a situation, i don't confront her right away, i usually find the right timing so that we can settle our differences calmly. Confrontations can be really stressful, we will end up hurting each other more and not solve our problems. So for me, it is right to avoid confrontation.

My experience tells me the more you let things linger, the worse they get.Running away or turning one's back does not solve a problem.There are times when you have to face the problem and call a spade a spade before matters get out of hand.But then confrontations on everything is also not required.One has to be a judge of a situation and see what kind of action is required.

hi care, there are things to consider if you will confront someone or not. If you think and you are sure that you are in capable of confronting someone, for example the person does something bad to you and has no reason to that,then thats the time that you have to confront him/her to let that person know that you are in capable of defending yourself and ofcourse to warned that person not to do that thing again. But, if in a certain situation that you are still in capable of confronting her/him but you know that its useless to do that because he/she will just keep on doing that thing, well i think you better not to confront that person. Do not waste your time confronting those persons who are unethical and insensitive.

Hi care!
Opinion would differ on this issue. I would like to give my own opinion and what I do. I do not believe in confrontations, even if sometimes it is necessary because I believe that confrontations lead us nowhere and our 'ego' is such that we don't want to 'submit' before others. Confrontations lead to bitterness and ill feelings. I better avoid it and would ignore the fellow, who is hell bent upon arguing/fighting.
Good Post!

Yes there are no hurt feeling when the truth about the matter is discussed between the opposing parties and, maybe, there will be no yelling that is going to happen when a confrontation is done. But there will be no closure which would bring true peace between two persons.
