Why do so many people avoid confrontation?
I am really getting sick and tired of passive aggressive people. I am not saying I am a bully, but when there is a situation that requires some type of resolution you must confront people and be confrontational in order to work out the differences. When you get things off your chest and talk things out it clears the air and everything gets worked out. Yes confrontation is intense, filled with anxiety, and pressure packed but its like ripping a band aid off. It hurts for a brief moment then it goes away and the band aid is off.
SO MANY PEOPLE today avoid confrontation at all costs and chose to use passive aggressive behavior or they ignore the problem. Don't these idiots know it only makes the situation worse. When did society get too sensitive and become full of wimps. The office place is the worst, so many people in offices are a bunch of wimps they can't even handle a simple verbal fight!!!!! Now I see why CEOs are bullies, CEOs have to get things done in order for the company to succeed and being a bully gets results, try being a nice CEO, that wouldn't work!!!!!!
Is there a way to handle the frustration of non-confrontational people without losing your mind? Someone please let me know?

I personally avoid confrontation because I am scared of getting hurt physically or emotionally. Also during confrontations I stutter a lot, and I get shaky, sweaty palms, and a weird pain in my chest, and if I get angry or the other person gets angry and yells at me, I'll start crying. So I'm also scared of looking like an idiot. The whole thing is just nerve racking for me!

Confrontation is looked down upon in countries where society is more communal. These included places like China, Africa and some middle eastern countries. They would rather hold their tongue that lash out, especially in public and cause division when it may not be necessary or solve any of the problems.
In more individualistic countries like America, Canada and some European countries it is the norm to be aggressive and speak up all the time at the slightest bit of discomfort or disagreement. It seems that people always have to try and get their personal opinion across as if they alone have the say. At the end of the day it is a matter of culture and personal preference.

We live in a litigious society, full of panicy, whishy whashy medicated, race baiting people. Damn right, I will act passive just to keep myself safe.
