Siempre me gusta confrontar los problemas lo antes posible, no me gusta perder tiempo en enojo
Oddly enough I'll face most conflicts head on but not the ones in our relationship. I'm super passive aggressive in our relationship which is definitely something I'm working on.
I take the bull by its horns & look it in the eye !!
Avoid it until it is in my face poking me in the forehead
AVOID!!!
Shake it until it falls apart and gets the hell out, wish I had one of those vibration machines. Lol
I don't like to fight and I don't like conflict. So I try to avoid it. But on the other hand sometimes you just have to come out swinging. I try to choose my battles. I mean, is it really going to matter in ten years if he didn't pick his dirty socks up. :)
Depends on the person and situation.
Head on.

Definitely don't just avoid it because it will get worse and the problem will never get solved. It's important to try to fix things right away.
No
I don't avoid it but I'm never in a rush to meet it head in. I like to think that most things can be handled with peace and patience. Just don't toy with my emotions though because then you'll see how I deal with conflict in a caveman way.

I generally try to face it head on, but not overly aggressively.
I hate it, but face on, to get it over with.
