I'm Not Afraid of Conflict
Briefly

Being honest about my opinions and standing up for myself has been a long-standing practice for me. If I don’t feel strong in my convictions, I remain quiet until I’ve gained the necessary confidence.
I have often navigated tensions in social and professional settings by offering strategic retreats instead of confrontations. My favorite tactic is to excuse myself conveniently when faced with unpleasant situations.
Sometimes, I wonder if I truly come across as intimidating. I might project a tough exterior, but I assure you that my heart is open to those willing to listen.
While reality TV is often seen as chaotic, the drama of the genre doesn’t faze me. I enjoy the more subdued aspects of life; I typically gravitate toward deeper complexities.
