in Chit-Chat
We all disagree with someone at some point. This happens a lot when you’re ... well, a human who asserts his or herself. So what kind of fighter/arguer are you? What will start a fight every time? Do you hold grudges? How do you make up? Who do you fight with? Do you pick the fights or are you an unwitting participant? What situations will bring out the fight in you?

    I’ve always been a pacifist but if someone picks on someone I love, I get mama bear about it

    Never been a grudge holder though. Maybe I’m too lazy to hold things in general

    I disagree because you're wrong.

    I only argue if I'm confident I'm right, and if it turns out I'm NOT right I'll admit it and stop. But I do also love to have debate type conversations where no one is necessarily "right OR wrong", just to try to understand other perspectives.

    This is me too. To a T. I enjoy conversations where it’s an open minded discussion all around though. If I’m the only one ‘learning things’ than I’m probably trapped in a discussion with a blowhard

    Of course you are :expressionless:

    I fight the same way I love, with passion. I can hold grudges, but usually it's when I'm deeply hurt. I can sometimes be passive aggressive, but I'll own it and not do that "oh I don't know why" or "it just happened" bs. If I cut you deep there is a reason. If I apologize I mean it, if I don't it's because I'm either ashamed or I'm just being a spiteful ahole, but I'll let you know that one too.

    I tend to always use a tin foil, leftover container (containing spinach filled manicotti), in the shape of a beautiful swan as my primary weapon of choice:

    *disclaimer: Of course this is not entirely true. I never have leftovers when ordering manicotti.

    I love a good fight. It’s like a sport to me. I am a grudge holder as well. Big surprise. I can tolerate so much and then I will snap and I like to go for the jugular. Attack me, I can hold my own. Attack one or all of my kids, I’m gonna hurt your feelings and then I’m going to cut you out of my life. Attack my dogs and I will destroy everything you love.

    * trying real, real hard to stay on your 'good side'.

    You're asking way too much all at once. I'm feeling very interrogated and it's too early.


    Edit:
    • So what kind of fighter/arguer are you?
      The defensive kind. Almost never offensive. Not a giant fan of conflict.
    • What will start a fight every time?
      Attacking me, friends or family in any way I guess.
    • Do you hold grudges?
      Yes but I don't mean to!
    • How do you make up?
      With tons of wet kisses. :kissing:
    • Who do you fight with?
      Meanies who are mean.
    • Do you pick the fights or are you an unwitting participant?
      Honestly, I'm super chill and would never pick a fight unless attacked in some way either present or previously by that person.
    • What situations will bring out the fight in you?
      Someone attempting to assert power or control over me unnecessarily or someone attacking me or my family through any method.

    TLDR; lover not a fighter. <3

    I don’t like arguing. But I will partake if I must. However I become annoyed very easily because people don’t stfu once they become upset. They keep repeating the same *kitten* over and over again. I’m stubborn and my mind isn’t easily swayed so arguments can last forever and they become exhausting. I’d rather sleep. And usually no solution is met because I am set in my ways. Fighting for me usually involves disrespect and that’s different for me. I won’t partake in that. I’m careful with my words to not say things I don’t need regret. So I walk away from those situations. It’s not worth it to me. I don’t hold grudges, no one is worth that amount of mind space. If I get an apology, we’re good. If it becomes a repeated behaviour we’re done. I’m a lover not a fighter. I will avoid it if I can. But sometimes an argument needs to be had. And other times you realize the person isn’t even worth the effort, you let it go and move on.

    WANNA FIGHT?!


    Edit: Never mind apparently I do start fights.

    I’d rather wrestle

    Then a match it is, I'll go setup the ring.

    On my bed.



    Ahem. :p

    Praying Mantis Style.

    I dont like heated arguments, Id much rather discuss things if we both have an open mind. I tend to forgive and forget after a bit.

    i'm way too passive to pick arguments. I bottle everything up and avoid conflict. And when someone yells at or starts an argument with me, I get really passive aggressive and/or start to tear up. Yup, I'm one of those people who cries when they're mad. I hate it.

    All of this sounds just like me, even the crying.
