Your Type
You hate tense atmospheres more than anyone; even when feeling wronged, you're usually the first to apologize. This "extreme avoidance of conflict and quick compromise" actually masks your deep fear of "relationship rupture and abandonment"; you fear that if the argument continues, the relationship will end, so you "sacrifice your own feelings" in exchange for superficial peace and security. But always being the first to yield often leads to an accumulation of undigested grievances inside you. Try resisting the urge to apologize immediately in your next fight, and say, "I'm really upset right now, we need ten minutes apart to calm down"; when you learn to let conflict naturally hang in the air, you can build a truly equal relationship.
