Your Type
Always choosing to speak directly during conflicts, believing clearing misunderstandings is necessary to move forward. This candor of "being absolutely direct and unsparing when facing problems" actually masks your deep fear of "relationship loss of control and unknown suspicion"; you fear that if problems aren't solved immediately, they'll trigger endless emotional drain and cold wars, so you use "direct confrontation" to regain control over the relationship. But not every relationship can withstand high-intensity clashes. Try giving each other a five-minute buffer next time you argue; when you learn to leave a little space in your firmness, your directness won't become a hurtful thorn.
