How do you cope with confrontation?  Yell back?  Do you run and hide?  Dissolve in tears?  Or….?

As in all exchanges, reactions are very individual.  Many factors play a part – personality and character (dependent on genetic makeup and background?); situation; people involved; individual levels of tolerance, frustration, patience, energy or exhaustion, health or ill health.  For some, confrontation is daily and frequent, a first reaction and simply part of the pattern of their lives; with others a rare occurrence.

Think of a confrontation in your own life.  Think of your own reactions, both during and after the incident.  How do you feel you coped?
