If effective confrontation is a respectful request for a new behavior or behavior change, then we can confront situations and issues that arise in our relationships with candor and transparency. Often, we hesitate to confront someone because we fear to do so will make the relationship worse. We may think that the person's reaction will be emotional or angry, and we may go to great lengths to avoid the person. Confrontation does not have to involve conflict, and we can prepare to have a conversation that confronts undesirable behavior in a way that feels respectful to the person and to ourselves. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

"Not get involved?" She scoffed. "Do you really believe that I'm that naïve? I'm more involved that you think." Feng Jiu strongly said.

Bai Yi eyes widen, he eyed Zhe Yan. "What did you do Zhe Yan?" Bai Yi scowled him.
