mixed feelings about arguments |
I had an argument with a coworker today... I have mixed feelings
about arguments, whether with a family member, a friend, a coworker, on
ASD, wherever... On one level, I know that arguments, at least
occasionally, are inevitable... and I know that it's good to be
assertive and express yourself... but on another level, I find it
emotionally draining... Maybe the thing to do is to try and minimize
arguments as much as possible, by finding better ways to deal with the
person... The other out of the ordinary event at work went well
today... I was accidently givven almost $400 more then I was supposed
to get in my weekly check... I reported it, partly because it seemed
like the right thing to do, and partly because I'm sure they would
discover the mixup eventually...

I feel the same way about confrontation. Personally, I avoid it like
the plague. I've never really had a face to face argument with anyone
but my siblings. I am even scared to argue with my parents. I'm scared
to even make a complaint. This one time I was at a resturant with one
of my friends and I didn't get what I ordered. I ate what I was given
although I literally had to choke it down. He asked me why I do that
and the only way that I could explain it was that it's just easier for
me to avoid that conflict. It made me feel like such a weird person but
that's the way I've always been.
