Are you a confrontational person in real life?

in Chit-Chat
I avoid confrontation like the plague. I remember when I was in high school, there was this girl who was very confrontational and every week she was getting into arguments with other people and get into their face. However, they was a time when she said a remark that I didn't agree with torwards or look at me at the wrong way and just generally have an air about her that lets me know they want to fight with me and I would just ignore it since I knew that if I talk back then it would just lead into pissing match which I wouldn't want. I just feel like silence is a powerful weapon sometimes. I just hate drama and arguing when its not necessary .Is anyone the same way?

    Run-on sentences scare me a little.

    I'm just going to go now.

    If anyone says I'm confrontational I get in their face and tear their throat out...only because I'm not of course

    I'm very argumentative! I'm all about standing up for my Brothers and Sisters out there and lets just say that at Church, I'm very controversial. Take me or leave me, I am what I am! :smile:

    Only my other personality is. He takes care of all the fighting, adrenaline and sex drive urges, while "i" am in university earning my doctorate in medical chemistry.

    i wouldnt call it confrontational, but i definitely speak up for myself. as a kid it either got me out of spankings and punishments or it made the spankings and punishments worse for being "fresh and sassy" :laugh:

    I don't seek it out and do what I can to avoid it, but if someone confronts me I won't take their crap. Plus, I know I'm always right anyway :wink:

    I try to avoid confrontation as much as I can. Like you, I largely ignore someone who tries to start a confrontation with me.

    Definitely Not. I am definitely not the one to initiate a confrontation. Unless it involves one of my daughters or my wife, I normally avoid confrontation. However, once initiated, I'm pretty difficult to deal with.

    I don't seek it out however I'm more than capable of defending myself should the occasion arise, unfortunately its one of these things that just happen. I'd rather be the lion than the mouse.....

    Depends entirely on the situation. If I wanna get to the bottom of something, yes. But say in your situation, I'd probably avoid majority of the time. Unless it got to a boiling point where I would be like "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM" haha :)

    I have to be completely fired up to be confrontational... Otherwise, I would much rather walk away.

    I have absolutely no problem being confrontational when it is called for, even for little things. However, I don't run around confronting everyone about everything. That's just being an a-hole.

    For me, it depends on what the confrontation is about. With petty arguments and minuscule differences of opinion I'll suggest the "agree to disagree" approach to diffuse the situation. However, if someone continues to stir their ladle in a pot that I've already made clear is near boiling point, they're probably going to get scalded.

    On the internet, I am a complete internet warrior. I get into debates (I think of them as debates, anyway) with racists, Islamophobes, homophobes, militant vegetarians, religious nuts (as in the crazy kind) misogynists, anti-vaccine people and even one time with someone against any kind of medical animal testing. In real life, however... I am a total wallflower :laugh: I stay in the background and even cry if someone yells at me, hate parties, go out of my way to avoid interaction with strangers. The only people I debate with in real life are those I know really well, and as I don't make friends with the aforementioned nasty people... I don't do much if any irl debating and am not at all confrontational as I hate when people are angry at me. Except one time when England and Wales (England being where I live) had just signed in gay marriage and my dad said he didn't agree that it should have happened. I sure gave him a piece of my mind, then :blushing:

    I don't have a real life, but if I did I would tell it off and stab it in the face with a half eaten t-bone. Make that fully eaten (waste not, want not). So, no. Not confrontational. A truly confrontational person would be so uppity that they would throw the whole steak before taking a bite.

    We in the psychology industry refer to this as the hunger test since it forces you to weigh confrontation against eating.

    We also have a WalMart test to determine if people are faking their ailments. You put the patient inside a WalMart, preferably around a crowded area like the Duck Dynasty Condoms (holes precut in the tip to please god with more babies) or the bottled lard beverages and leave them trapped in such a way that they can only escape by overcoming their ailment. If they are faking it, they will make it out. If they are legit, then in 24 hours they can be found wearing camouflage cutoff jeans, an ill-fitting orange tube top, carrying their new 4 babies and a set of metal balls to swing from their trailer hitch.

    I may or may not have no license.

    I have a problem with authority.

    I was just confrontational just now.....
    Look at his pic. He obviously doesn't eat steak.
    Hunger test validates his claim - he is confrontational.

    I'm pretty argumentative and can't stand ignorance. Sometime people just annoy me and well I always have a hard time keeping my mouth shut so I tend to voice my opinion quite often. Not say it's always the right opinion, but you're going to get it either way.
