Confrontation

What happens when one is confronted?

Does one feel indignant and fight back?

Or does one feel fear and want to please, perhaps even babbling away in reaction?

Or does one feel totally crushed and unable to respond?

What about the sense of wanting to justify and prove - "Just wait till I get my facts together"

It's not always easy to face confrontation.
It's not always easy not to take it personally.
It's not always easy not to react.

But the best response is not always the best reaction.
The best response is to know yourself and the person who is doing the confrontation.
Then decide on a plan of action.
Better still, decide on the plan of action beforehand and follow through with a level head even if the heart doesnt follow.

Then confrontation can become constructive.
