At times I avoid situations that might bring me into contact with people I’m having problems with. |
| |
|
|
|
|
I have put off returning phone calls or e-mails because I simply didn’t want to deal with the person who sent them. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Sometimes when people bring up a touchy or awkward issue I try to change the subject. |
| |
|
|
|
|
When it comes to dealing with awkward or stressful subjects, sometimes I hold back rather than give my full and candid opinion. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Rather than tell people exactly what I think, sometimes I rely on jokes, sarcasm, or snide remarks to let them know I’m frustrated. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* When I’ve got something tough to bring up, sometimes I offer weak or insincere compliments to soften the blow. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* In order to get my point across, I sometimes exaggerate my side of the argument |
| |
|
|
|
|
If I seem to be losing control of a conversation, I might cut people off or change the subject in order to bring it back to where I think it should be. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* When others make points that seem stupid to me, I sometimes let them know it without holding back at all. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* When I’m stunned by a comment, sometimes I say things that others might take as forceful or attacking—terms such as “Give me a break!” or “That’s ridiculous!” |
