Rather than tell people exactly what I think, sometimes I rely on jokes, sarcasm, or snide remarks to let them know I'm frustrated.

When I've got something tough to bring up, I understate it rather than share my full opinion.

Sometimes when people bring up a touchy issue, I try to change the subject.

When it comes to dealing with difficult subjects, sometimes I steer the conversation to safer issues rather than address what really concerns me.

At times I avoid situations that might bring me into contact with people I'm having problems with.

I put off getting back to people sometimes because I'm uncomfortable dealing with them.

I sometimes find myself having the same conversation with the same person multiple times.

At times I walk away from conversations with an agreement that I don't think really solves the problem.

When I'm discussing an important topic with others, sometimes I move from trying to make my point to trying to win the battle.

Sometimes I decide that it's better to keep the peace than share my views.

When talking about sensitive subjects, my emotions often get the best of me.

I sometimes walk away from conversations rehashing the reasons I'm right and others are wrong.
