Generally, I'm a non-confrontational person. I don't like fights, arguments, or even disagreements. That doesn't mean I sit by and let people walk all over me, but I certainly choose my battles. Often times, even when I choose to confront the issue, I will take the easier way out by talking to the person in a less direct manner. I know this isn't always the most appropriate, but it's either that method or none at all. I've certainly learned to become more confrontational over the past couple years having lived with the roommates that I do (not to say that they are bad roommates by any means. In fact, I think we've worked out pretty well together. Just one roommate responds best to facing things directly and I've learned and --at least I think-- improved upon that.)
Is the less non-confrontational way better? Do I need to be more confrontational and say what's on my mind? What I'm upset about? Or is that not me? By changing that style, will I significantly change who I am and how I handle the ways of the world? Obviously this isn't going to be settled by one post here, and it will take some development over time, if things are to change at all, but they are interesting questions to pose.
On a side note, I'm much more sore from running yesterday than I ever anticipated. Guess I lost more of my running aptitudes than I thought.
