You sound like a person who uses the excuse of "I just keep it real" to lie and convince yourself that "telling it like it is" is why people don't like you. They don't like you because you're a dick who lacks tact not because you speak "the truth."

Sounded like you were telling the truth there. I appreciate it

What's your hangup with liars anyway? Nothing in our world in black and white like that

I'm a bad person and a liar because I don't like arguing with people and keeping the peace?

Sometimes it's the other person that can't have a respectful back and forth.

An abusive FIL is not the same as a parent or partner you cracked walnut.

This is truly one of the worst takes on why people avoid conflict.

by Present_Mix_6203 4 months ago

It definitely doesn't sound like you escalate anything

by Mediocre-Kale7059 4 months ago

Where is the logical connection between conflict avoidance and lying? You're creating a huge bridge to close the gap between them You can be the most kindhearted, honest person in the world, and still hate when someone confronts you because they can be rude to you and cause your anxiety. Conflict avoidance stems from anxiety, not being a pathological liar.

Still can't control my temper, so avoiding conflict is best. It's like saying ‘If you want more money just get a better paying job' - sounds easy to some but it's way harder for many people then others

I have anxiety, conflicts make me anxious so I avoid them. I guess this means I'm a liar, got it

How does not liking conflict = that person is a liar?? Genuinely dont see the correlation here

by Immediate-Tone4106 4 months ago

No idea what you're talking about

by Mediocre-Kale7059 4 months ago

If you're afraid of conflict, then by default you're a liar. I'm going to need you to explain the connection, because I don't see how these are mutually exclusive.

If you're afraid of conflict, then by default you're a liar quite a leap in logic

by Anonymous 4 months ago

They're afraid that any conflict will do serious harm to their relationships. They probably didn't grow up with adults who know how to have respectful disagreements or were just abusive. Fear of abandonment also plays a role. Also, I would call them dishonest rather than liars.

They make the world harder for the rest of us. Battles have to be fought. They know this and want you to do it for them.

by Anonymous 4 months ago

Uh, what? I'm not someone who avoids conflict, but many conflict-avoiders I know don't expect or even want others to fight their battles for them. It's not just a matter of not wanting to create conflict; they're often extremely anxious about ANY conflict, even those that don't involve them. As for the OP's theory that this makes them liars, the logic is way off.

by Anonymous 4 months ago

It's not about creating a conflict. Sometimes conflicts are out of your control. I was non confrontational for most my life and I can tell you being willing to have a confrontation makes life infinitely better.

I applaud your genuinely unpopular opinion, but I think you're wrong. Being afraid of conflict is a character flaw, similar to how seeking out conflict is one as well. It's something to be fixed, but it doesn't make you a bad person, and I think it's a better alternative to being abrasively combative.
