How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up [feedly]

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up [feedly]

Years ago, I started a brand new job, and I was contracted on terrible project. There was no real work to do, so instead of technical writing—my actual job—I spent my time getting coffee for people and making copies. Rather than ask my boss about this, I kept it to myself. Weeks later, she confronted me, puzzled: “Why didn’t you speak up?” 

It’s pretty bad when your boss points out that you need to speak up for yourself more. I cringe to think of all the experiences that were more stressful than they needed to be, simply because I was afraid of confrontation. 

For a long time, and even now, to some extent, I’ve been afraid to address another person about an issue—any issue. Here are some examples: 

  • If a friend did something I didn’t like, I never said anything.
  • If I had a question, I wouldn’t ask.
  • If I didn’t like a situation at work, or anywhere, really, I wouldn’t say anything.
  • I never even considered negotiating my salary.

In short, I was so afraid an interaction might turn into a confrontation, I became a pushover. In recent years, I’ve learned to work around this fear pretty well. And working around it helped me get past the fear altogether. 

Being a Pushover Is a Lot of Work

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

Inevitably, when I didn’t speak up about stuff, I would bottle it up and worry about it constantly. I spent a lot of unnecessary energy worrying, which turned into resentment and anger, which took even more energy. Meanwhile, the person I should have confronted was blissfully unaware that anything was wrong. Apparently, it was only an issue for me. 

Researchers from Columbia University recently conducted a study on pushovers and their lack of self-awareness. The conducted mock negotiations and asked people to rate their level of aggressiveness. Here’s what they found: 

many people seen as appropriately assertive by counterparts mistakenly thought they were seen as having been over-assertive, a novel effect we call the line crossing illusion

In the study, 57% of people thought they were being assertive, while they were actually viewed as underassertive. The point is, many of us are afraid of being too aggressivewhen no one actually thinks we’re aggressive—or cares, for that matter. 

And here’s where it becomes work. This study also found that this obliviousness leads us to feel guilty over the perceived confrontation, so we want to repair the relationship. the subjects who mistakenly thought they were too assertive also felt like they did something wrong. To try to make things better, they accepted a worse negotiation deal. They did this to repair the relationship, but nothing was wrong in the first place. 

I realized this in my own way, gradually. For example, when haggling, I’d go with the first number, because I felt bad not paying full price in the first place. But I grew tired of being the only one at the pushover party. I realized that it actually took a lot less energy, overall, to simply speak up for myself. 

Silence Is Unfair to Others

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

It’s not terribly healthy to consider what others think so much, but I had to work with my own mindset. I realized that not only is my indirectness unfair to me, it’s unfair to other people, too. This realization appealed to my natural obliger. 

When I don’t ask questions, I fail at my job, and that’s not good for my boss. When I bottle up an issue with a friend, I become angry, resentful, and passive-aggressive, and that’s not fair to my friend. 

Directness is a better long-picture solution. Even if forcing yourself to speak up does turn into a small confrontation, it’s usually a more favorable outcome than the alternative. 

I Forced Myself to Ask Questions

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

When I realized it was time to be more assertive, I started small. I started with questions. A co-worker said something that stuck with me: “You might look dumb asking questions, but you look dumber when you don’t get it because you failed to ask.” This helped, because asking was easy enough. 

I’d keep a list of running questions, and I told myself that anytime I had a meeting or a one-on-one, I’d force myself to ask a question from the list. When I did, I found it was really easy to get to them all in no time. My colleagues never laughed or scoffed at the fact that I didn’t know anything. Once I realized this fear was unfounded, it was a lot easier to keep speaking up. But I had to get over that initial fear. The momentum from that small step—asking a question—helped tremendously. 

But if I was too intimidated by even that, if I was too afraid to approach someone about a specific question or concern, I’d send them an email instead. I’d write that, when they had a chance, I needed to ask them about whatever topic. Sending an email is even easier, so this helped ensure I wouldn’t back out. It forced me to later bring up the question or concern. 

I Began to See Rejection and Failure as Progress

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

Part of my fear of confrontation was a fear rejection and failure. If a boss or colleague thought my idea was stupid, that was my worst nightmare. It made me feel like both a reject and a failure. 

After a while, I started to see rejection and failure as useful, though. In short, I changed my definition of failure. Instead of seeing it as a lack of success, I saw it as a necessary part of success. Did I expect to win anything by not putting myself out there and keeping everything to myself? 

Rather than stay defensive about failure, I started to embrace it. If I had an idea, I voiced it. If I wanted a raise, I picked my time, built a case, asked for it. If it didn’t happen, fine. At this point, my main goal was speaking up in the first place, not necessarily the implementation of the idea or the higher salary. So if I forced myself to speak up, it was a success in its own way. 

We’ve written about the concept of embracing failure before, but there are a few important things to keep in mind when failure happens: 

  • Feel and reflect: Don’t just breeze through the failure. Consider it and consider any mistakes you might have made. Otherwise, you won’t make progress.
  • Claim appropriate responsibility: Understand where you were at fault, and be aware of your limits.
  • Admit and reframe: To move forward, consider how you can do things differently next time.

As afraid as I was of being wrong and failing, I was more afraid of the alternative, keeping my mouth shut and not moving forward in any way. Being wrong is part of being productive, after all. 

I Learned to Be Diplomatic

How I Got Over My Fear of Confrontation and Learned to Speak Up

But it wasn’t just failure and rejection I was afraid of. Another part of my fear of confrontation was disappointing people. I hated telling people things they didn’t want to hear. And worse, I didn’t want to become overassertive. I wanted to speak up for myself, but I didn’t want to become an oblivious, rude jerk, either. To combat this fear, I learned to be diplomatic. A few things helped: 

  • Approach a discussion as a conversation, not a confrontation: Simply approaching a conversation in a certain way can make a big difference in the tone. We’ve talked about how it’s better to approach a negotiation as joint-problem solving; this works in the same way. Instead of being combative, you’re working on a solution with the other person. Whether it’s telling a friend about something that bothers you, or voicing your opinion at work, it should be less about conflict and more about communicating. 
  • Be kind: It’s an obvious one, but sometimes you’re so focused on speaking up, you forget to be nice about it, because you’re not comfortable with it. I noticed I did this with customer service reps. I was anxious about speaking up about an issue, so I immediately became cold and unfriendly without even realizing it (oblivious jerk?). It wasn’t until someone pointed out that I could be nicer that I realized I was being defensive. I started making an effort to remember to be more kind, and this is much more effective, anyway. Actually, it also makes things a lot easier. It’s easier to speak up when you don’t have to worry about the pressure of being so assertive. You can be kind.
  • Pick your battles: I had to find balance in not saying anything at all and saying too much. When I first learned to speak up, it was kind of an exciting milestone. So I spoke up about everything. Someone parked in my space? I asked them why. A friend did something slightly annoying? I told them. I had a simple question I could’ve easily found on my own? I asked my boss anyway. Speaking up was great, but I had to bring it back a little. I hurt my friend’s feelings. I annoyed my boss. Rather than speak up about everything, I’ve now learned to pick my battles, so to speak. We’ve suggested starting with a simple question: “is the situation so distressing that it needs to be addressed?” If there’s another alternative, or if it’s not that important, I let it go and save my energy for things that matter more.

After all this, I think I’m still a people-pleaser at heart. But by acknowledging that trait, and acknowledging why I’m afraid of confrontation in the first place, I’ve been able to find ways to work around it. It’s not always easy, but it’s a lot easier when I remember each of these points.

Ascendance Adds Nastier Zombies and Beefier Guns to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Ascendance Adds Nastier Zombies and Beefier Guns to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

The second downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – titled Ascendance – hit Xbox One recently, and added a slew of new content for your Exo soldiers. If you haven’t checked it out yet, we’ve got all the juicy details for you before you strap on your Exo and leap into the action.

Master New Maps
Ascendance features four new maps for multiplayer, ranging from small to large – and like all the Advanced Warfare maps, they feature their own unique gameplay twists.

* Perplex is a five-story apartment complex in beautiful Sydney. Construction drones systematically move the modules, creating a changing environment. Tight corridors and lots of windows facilitate a variety of strategies.

* Site 244 is a map set at Mount Rushmore, wherein an alien ship has crash landed at the base of the Presidential monument. Getting a scorestreak grants you some alien spore perks and exo boosts.

* Climate – a circular bio-dome – offers a lush, perfect environment for wanton destruction. The central island is great for king of the hill situations, and the changing rivers around the map add dangerous obstacles and challenges.

* Chop Shop is a particularly cool map in terms of aesthetic and mythos. This black market exoskeleton lab and warehouse is a mazelike corridor setup. Watch out for the turret that appears when someone activates the map’s scorestreak!

Battle Back to Burgertown
Ascendance continues the story of Exo Zombies after the first episode from the previous Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC pack, Havoc. The four survivors have made it to the edge of the Atlas Corporation’s facility, fighting mutants the whole way. But now, they face newer, deadlier enemies. Featured in this episode: the return of Burgertown, the preferred fast food chain of Call of Duty zombies everywhere.

Lock and/or Load a Sweet New Gun
The DLC packs for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare each feature a new weapon. For Ascendance, it’s the OHM Directed Energy Hybrid Weapon. What the heck does that mean? Well it’s an energy-based weapon that gives you two gun styles at once: There’s a SMG mode for crowd control and suppression fire, and a shotgun mode for those glorious finishing shots. It’s seriously one of the coolest weapons in this game... or any other Call of Duty game.

The Ascendance DLC pack is available now on Xbox One and Xbox 360. If you haven’t picked up Havoc, we recommend that as well – particularly if you are interested in the Exo Zombies storyline that stars John Malkovich, Rose McGowan, and Bill Paxton.
