It might be a habit, or call it a personality trait, either way, I am really bad at confrontation.
I can't take confrontation, something inside me just stops me even when I know I'm right, that I'm being wronged, that I need to take a certain step for my own sake... both in important and trivial circumstances.
I just have this need to make sure things never escalate. Even if I have to compromise something I don't want to compromise. The few times I have pushed myself to confront someone, I end up feeling like crap and upset with myself. Now I'm fed up of this. I'm in my 40s and it's ridiculous. I just get angry inside, and then those around me struggle to understand why I'm in such grumpy mood.
Is it unreasonable to think that I can change this, even though this is who I've been my whole life? And how? practice?
