Are you an agitator or a peace maker?

God says blessed are the peacemakers. Are you a peacemaker or do you like to start things or agitate people or constantly stir something up? I do not like being around those that like to agitate. It seems they get so much enjoyment out of upsetting and frustrating others. What kind of person or you? If you are an agitator, why do you agitiate? If you are a peacemaker, why? I love peace. I do not like frustration or upset, it is so nerve wrecking. It is so neat to be able to setting things peacefully and without arguing.

I am a peacemaker for the most part. I do not egg people on or agitate them. I am nice to everyone who is nice to me. I trust most until they have proven them selves untrustworthy.

I think I do that too. I have a tendency to trust everyone until they show me I cannot trust them. Thanks for posting.

I like things to be peaceful. I'm a peacemaker, usually. It upsets me when I see someone else upset. And, I really feel bad if I'm the cause of it. I think that people who are always upsetting others have very little confidence in themselves and the only they feel good about themselves is to put somebody else down. I, also, don't like people who get mad because somebody else is happy, they seem to have to always say or do something to spoil it.

I am a peacemaker. I dislike friction of any kind. I try avoiding those type of situations. And if I find myself in one of those situations, I will walk away as quickly as possible.

I don't like any friction either. I take it all way too personally. Thanks for posting.

I am definitely a peacemaker. I hate confrontation and when people are upset with each other. Unfortunately it can be a problem sometimes because it causes me to avoid confrontation when it is necessary to solve a problem. I like when everyone is happy and getting along, life is much less stressful when everyone is happy.

I would say that I'am a peace maker and I love people who are also peace maker but there are times that I started an argument when I really feel so bad about the situation but thats really rarely and I love to be a peace maker and I dont like being people who are agitator.

I am for peaceful relations and not wasting time arguing. Getting upset once in a while is kind of normal, but if you are aware of what is going on, it can pass by quickly. You can't beat a peaceful setting, which I think can still be attained even if parties disagree. I think those that enjoy upsetting others are maybe begging for attention. Those that have to constantly stir things up probably perceive life as boring and are trying to make it more exciting. That is the wrong way to do it. And others have some sort of agenda to cause as much havoc as they can for whatever reason. I tend to ignore them, because I am not going to let anyone steal my peaceful feelings.

I think you are right. The agitators are trying for attention. You are right, we can allow them to steal our peace or we can ignore them and keep our peace. Great advice. Thanks for posting.

I can't stand being frustrated or upset either. I like things to run smoothly and everyone to get along. Sometimes I miss my boring, never anything really exciting happening life!

I am a peacemaker because I think problems are more easily solved when people sit down and talk things over and cooperate. The power of compromising is underrated!

I'd say i'm a peacemaker myself, but somehow i manage to attract all the agitators, so it's hard for me. ^^;
