Why are we so bad at confronting people?

This could be because

• You do not wish to hurt others feelings. - One fact that you must remind yourself is that other people’s feelings are not in your control and never will be.
• You worry too much about consequences - As long as you’ve got your facts right and look for a win-win situation , keeping the long term relationship in mind, there’s no need to worry too much.
• You do not know when to start - “If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your lives”. So it is best to address the issue at the earliest instead of allowing your feelings to boil and blow up one day.
• You do not know how to start - Start by getting a clarity about three questions. What happened ?, What did you feel ?, What do you wish to change? For example: When you keep cutting me off in front of other people during meetings, I feel bad. I’d feel more respected if you allowed me to complete what I had to say. This example covers all the three questions mentioned above.
