When there is a difficult issue to address with someone, do you tend to . . .
-
talk to the person at the wrong time (like when you’re really angry)?
-
avoid the conversation as long as possible — and maybe forever — because you’re worried the person will be upset that you brought it up?
-
allow the conversation to go off track and become confusing and unfocused?
