Look at it this way.
You have little or no choice in the matter.
Obviously, anyone whom you tend to have difficulty with
will be a source of trouble,
because you cannot escape the confrontation.
In fact it is a good idea to have it out
and get your problems into the open
so that perhaps you can clear it up.
The point is that you will not derive much benefit
from keeping to yourself.
Even if your encounter has been an unpleasant one,
it will be useful to you in the long run.
If you withdraw,
the initiative will be taken out of your own hands,
and you will still have the confrontation.
As much as it has taken a lot out of you,
Hang In There.
It will be over before you know it.
Just hang in there.
