Discuss the icons that you love best!| No Confrontation With MIL, Phew! That Was A Relief! | | A couple of weeks ago my MIL "donated" 12 cans of Coke to my hubby when he went round with their car that he had borrowed in order to pick Mum up, who was staying with us over that weekend.At the time I wasn't happy about it as he had a 4 litre a day DIET Coke habit that he chose to give up 18 months earlier. I rang my MIL and aired my views, only to be shot down in flames.[em]sad[/em] It since transpired that she had queued earlier on in the day for 4 hours to buy 6 Wembley tickets. I knew she had gone but had no idea she had queued for that length of time as she never told me. If she had I would've left it and spoke to her another time. Tried twisting it you see when she rang my husband at work, straight after our conversation!Anyway, on Sunday this weekend was the first time I'd seen her and FIL since my phone call. Me and MIL were very cool towards each other; hardly spoke at all, in fact. I preferred this approach as she wasn't in my face, something that had been irritating me for quite some time. As for the FIL, he was great. His usual, friendly self so I was quite relieved about this as the last thing I wanted was a confrontation...with either of them. MIL with face... | |
| | CONFRONTATION.....? Good or Bad??? | | Confrontation can be good or bad, it depends on the nature or scenario.
COnfronting who is dear to and special to you maybe a complicated thing to do.
It depends on the nature of confrontation.
Are you patience enough to confide them that you are really sorry for the things that you did?
Is it wise to confront them and risk losing the things that you cherish with them?Do u prefer to confront face to face?
or confront them thru text or call?Whats your opinion my fellow mylotters?

~~Grace~~ all, in fact. I preferred this approach as she wasn't in my face, something that had been irritating me for quite some time. As for the FIL, he was great. His usual, friendly self so I was quite relieved about this as the last thing I wanted was a confrontation...with either of them. MIL with face in book, that I like!The MIL (at one point) did turn round in her seat in order to speak to my husband, ignoring me completely, but I wasn't bothered. She also did "little" things like get the channel changed from the football to some obscure sci-fi channel when I took a look at hubby washing his car. I wasn't... | |
| | Do you hate confrontation? | | I personally am not one for confrontations. I try hard to see other peoples point of view, and try to think about things logically before I put in my input. Although there are times that it cannot be avoided, and usually I just flip off the handle. lol. So are you one for confrontation, or do you just go at it? | |
| | Handling confrontation. | | Most people at some time or other, have been hurt by confrontations that has left them feeling drained and confused. When someone attacks us emotionally, we may wonder what we did to cause such anger, and we take their actions personally. I have had this happen to me and I've seen others devastated by it as well. At such times we may ask ourselves what we could have done to compel them to behave or speak the way they did. It's important to remember that there are no real targets in an emotional attack and that it is usually a way for the attacker to redirect their uncomfortable feelings away from themselves. When people are overcome by strong emotions, like hurt or anguish, they may see themselves as victims and lash out at others as a means of protection or to make themselves feel better. The best way to shield ourselves from such an attack is to not take the behavior personally, and this is by no means an easy task for most of us. Instead of lashing out in turn which is always easiest, but never the right thing to do, we should take a moment to breathe deeply and remind ourselves that we did't do anything wrong, and we are not responsible for other people's feelings. If we... | |
| | How do you face Confrontation? | | My brother and I used to fight when we were still kids, we always have a petty quarrels that lasted for a day and so on. As we grew up we learned to be patient with each other and so far we never had a confrontation. I personally dont like confrontation since I patiently understand other people, I often listen up rather than to talk back or nag. And simply because I know that I have done nothing wrong intentionally for others to confront me. There was a time when I exploded and confronted a male housemate/roomate for being selfish and inconsiderate of others. He did a lot of bad things but I let it passed but one night he wanted to laundry at the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping and since the washing machine is beside my room I told him to stop what he's doing, he still insist so I raised my voice and confronted him. He just walked away since he knew he was wrong. I can still remember how my blood went high with anger. I'm glad that guy is out of my life right now.In your case, how do you handle/face confrontation? | |
| | Is it right to avoid confrontation? | | There are some people who avoid confrontation because they don't want argument and don't want to be involve and get hurt. They fear that the person might hate her/him for doing that, so they rather to be quite and be safe. But most often letting things go on without taking courage to confront the person, or the situation makes you more regretful in the end. What do you think, what is your opinion? It is right and good to avoid confrontation? | |
| | what is the best way to avoid confrontation with people around us? | | dear friends,
there are tons of people around us, of both genders, of various religions, various political back grounds. at times, our thoughts differ, this is quite natural, and we have confrontations that ultimately leads to quarrels and fighting.
it is better to keep quiet and surrender at the worst case. this will make the other person happy, he/she will feel that he ‘won’; get a false satisfaction. You are not going to lose any, anyway.
what do you think?ann[em]happy[/em] | |
| | Wars and rumors of war:Russians poised for confrontation with Muslims | | Think if the United States don't tighten up our boards these radical Muslims dudes could sneak in and blow Americans up if they are shopping or eating lunch in the wrong place?(RUSSIAN PREPARING FOR WAR WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS)For Russia, bringing Georgia back under its direct sphere of influence will allow it to take over the one pipeline not presently under its control from Azerbaijan through Georgia to Turkey that provides oil and gas to Europe. Russian presence in Georgia also will give it land access to a critical Russian military base in Armenia, which maintains close ties with Moscow.A reinvigorated Russian influence in the region would help contain the Islamist threat in the North Caucasus – dubbed by the militants as the Caucasus Emirate. The militants' purpose is to set up an Islamic Caliphate throughout the entire North Caucasus and then spread down into the South Caucasus.Until now, the three northeastern Russian North Caucasus republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya were regarded as "problem republics." Now, Islamic attacks have spread to include the northeastern republics of Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachaevo-Cherkessia and Adygeya.. Together, they... | |

| | Is it easy for you to face confrontation? | | I’m not good at it. I easily fall apart during confrontations. I don’t like it or shall I shall that I hate it. If I’m pissed with someone, I’d rather leave and stay away rather than talk about it. if I’m questioning something that was done wrongly, I’d rather figure it out and resolve it without confronting.
