Confrontation

I hate confrontation! I just had 2 scary, confrontational phone calls. What is it that I hate about being forced to be so direct and honest with someone?

Yuck! Ahhh! Need to get over it!!

I also totally despise being taken advantage of in business matters, which I believe was happening in one of the instances. I can't figure out if it was sexism, ageism, or general lack of respect which leads to dishonesty, but it's even worse to have confrontation because someone has taken advantage of you.
