Confrontational

Robert · 9 Mar 2006 at 20:28

Why is it that if someone confronted me in public (or in front of friends) I would melt - but if I was on my own I'd be fine? I honestly don't know why. An example of this is, say if someone came up to me to start a fight, on my own I'd be fine but with friends I couldn't handle it? Sometimes I think it's the fact that I don't like being embarrassed, but I honestly don't know. Anyone got any answers because it's driving me insane

I just hate confrontation

You just don't want to look bad/mess up in front of your friends?

Robert · 9 Mar 2006 at 20:33

But I don't mind messing up in front of mates...ah! It's really weird, nevermind, more beer please!

maybe you're afraid your mates will see a side of you they wont like?

Kell_ee001 · 9 Mar 2006 at 20:42

That is unusual as most people would back down from confrontation when alone rather than in front of people! :confused:

I know that feeling. Im not one for holding back if someone is dead set on pounding my face in, but I have "surprised" friends with my reactions, which they were not expecting.

Eh? Whats that you're saying??!!!! Are you looking at me, huh? Are ya....?

Same thing happens to me when Im with people, I feel kinda singled out. On my own I'd just get stuck in :confused:

Robert · 9 Mar 2006 at 20:49

Yeah, I agree with that. I feel my back burning with words (in other words paranoia..heh

).

its only normal to be suprised at such a thing, but we are all capable of it heh

You're not fooling anyone Robert, we know you're a pussycat really

I would stab him in the eye regardless of who was there.

i know what u mean, i sometimes get the same thing when a girl comes up to me to, im much more confident if i'm by myself.

Big Chris · 9 Mar 2006 at 22:24

I tend to be quite the opposite. Despite being 6'5 I hate being the object of someone else's frustrations in any situation if I'm alone.

If I'm with a bunch of mates though it doesn't really bother me as I know if someone does decide to kick off then they'll all come windmilling in.

Right,... you and me, outside NOW (but leave the rubber gloves with desmo

).

I guess the humiliation factor makes it more difficult when getting confronted infront of your friends?
