I used to be like this avoiding conflict because I did not know how to deal with the anger that would arise inside of myself.
There's also another option. Cobra, you'll like this one.
FOO.
I grew up in an alcoholic home. Strong emotions meant that an explosion was just around the corner. When I left home, one of my personal goals was to have a peaceful home. I even get uncomfortable at department stores when a customer starts getting loud and obnoxious to the poor minimum wage cashier.
People start expressing strong emotions, I immediately move into peacemaker mode.
