As it says in the title, how verbally-composed do you remain in arguments with other people, not just in general but more specifically when it comes to staying true to your most-authentic thoughts and feelings and not just spewing out venomous/reactive poison that you don’t really mean in the heat of the moment?

I do try to be as reasonable as possible when faced with a heated discussion, but at times I also can’t help myself and I do cross the line, and I end up thinking, I definitely shouldn’t have said that or Maybe I could have portrayed myself better. I am a person who is willing to accept that they are in the wrong though, and I always try to make amends and mean it.
However at times I also try to stray away from such discussions, especially if I find them not worth wasting all my time and energy on. |

I have been guilty of it sometimes.
Most of the time though I try to just say things as I see them, if it ends up upsetting anyone then I do apologize for that as it's not my intention, but I was always taught to be honest with my opinions.

I kinda gathered (it’s not necessarily a bad thing at all).

I don't argue with people, or at least I don't think so.
I might have passionate debates. I can be stubborn if I feel something and will fight for it. I wouldn't say something I didn't feel at the time. But I try at all costs not to upset anyone and will be diplomatic. I'd hate to think I had upset someone. Last edited by ThomasC; 05-08-2022 at 07:33 AM. |

I rarely argue these days if I can help it.
I have a red headed temper and have worked a lot over the years to control it (i was very hot headed when I was younger and could be vicious). I rarely say things I don't mean but if pushed I will sometimes say things that are truthful but that I would normally not say to keep the peace so at times I regret that as it can open a can of worms that I would rather keep closed. In all honesty, life is too short to argue- I would much rather walk away and have the argument internally (which I obviously always win) and then I can move on.

Going back to my thread topic I do say what I mean 7 or 8 times out of 10 but that’s not saying that much considering how much I tend to guard my innermost feelings at the best of times. I’m honest enough in the sense that I won’t pretend to like someone if I can’t stand them (at most I’ll be as polite as I need to be but beyond that I won’t let them in). I’m probably like you in the sense that I try and keep the peace generally but I still have those moments where I really do say things I don’t actually mean if it’s a hot situation. But generally it’s more a case of the situation just acting as a catalyst for feelings I don’t normally give vent to being expressed on a can-of-worms basis (and just like you I’d just rather not go there as far as I can absolutely help it).

I very rarely would say something I don't mean but if I get really angry I might say something I thought but wouldn't have wanted to say. I try to stay away from arguments like that though if possible

Have you always been conflict/argument-averse (in that sense) or do you feel like it’s something you grew into gradually as you got older?
