I watch people argue on TV and I'm just in awe that they don't implode or something. I can handle conflict at work, no problem. But in relationships - friends, family, lovers - I can't tolerate it. I think it is because I think the relationship itself won't hold together if there is conflict.
Here on Babble, I love a good debate when people stay respectful, even if it gets passionate. There are lots of opinions and they all count, particularly when folks can hang on to "I" statements. I don't like it when it gets hostile in a personal way and I hate when I think someone is mad at me.
Childhood legacy lives on I guess... I was/am the family peace maker.
