    Fear of conflicts. I was brought up to avoid them, to get along as best I can and avoid arguments. I am a private person and respect others’ privacy above all else. To respect my privacy is to not pry very much into my beliefs. But at the same time, I study those around me, and from watching I construct assumptions or patterns about others’ behavior and what to expect. I listen continuously but rarely speak. For me to offend needlessly is something I was brought up against. In my work life, it’s an “I do my task and you do yours, we are all in this together” feeling. But fear of needless conflict sums it up. Any pattern of aggression puts a wall between us. I envy some of the closeness I hear about while listening to others speak about their family life.
