Co., Everett, WA Lines: 18 I have an innate tendency to try to smooth things, so my traditional reaction is to bottle it up, or at worse to sulk. This was a major factor in causing a breakup a couple of years ago; it's also rather unhealthy. So, I've been trying to teach myself a similar reaction to what Chuq espouses: grasping the bull by the tail and confronting the situation immediately, not with hostility but making it clear that I am angry. It's what my SO prefers, too, and so far it's worked, except I find that my subconscious often hides things for me which turn up after they've gotten a bit old. Sigh.
