big-will 7 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 This guy goes and lives in a tree for 15 years! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4643678.stm "An Indian man has been living in a tree for the past 15 years despite passionate appeals by his mother to return home. Kapila Pradhan, 45, a resident of Nagajhara village in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, left home after an apparent tiff with his wife." I tend to be less extreme. Maybe sulk and 'go quiet' for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 If I'm really pissed then I tend to go quiet too. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Going quiet is what I do as well.... quiet and unresponsive. Otherwise I might say something I regret. Reminds me of that other post. Not sure I'd want to go up a tree. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I find it very hard to argue calmly and logically when I'm really angry or upset. I usually yell or cry. If the argument doesn't get resolved straight away, I usually go off on my own for awhile and try to calm down. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i also go quiet unless its something that has been brewing for a while and i want to say something. this happens quite often living with house mates, its hard to "go off" and be quiet. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I think the tree option sounds better than my inability to resolve the issue sensibly!!! Link to post Share on other sites
peterson 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Once or twice when I was younger, I got into some fights........ I wonder where that person went. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Grew up perhaps? I'm not the best at arguing and so I often do the quiet thing as well. Things have been known to get much worse and other things dragged into the open if I try to argue. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Depends on who the other is / what the other does. While the other does not hurt my pride, I try to stay nice and control myself as much as possible. But if the other did, no idea what I do. Unfortunately nothing nice would be created by that kind of behavior though. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 You're right gamera. I know a few people who just seem to feed on arguments and disagreements. I just don't get where they're coming from at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Going quiet is not a very smart way of resolving issues - if you think about. I like to get these things sorted out from the basics, so if I have a going quiet sort of person on my hands, they're going to get bugged until they stop being quiet and tell me what their (stupid) beef is.

bushpig 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 agreed O11. I'm talking about when the argument is getting really beyond sensible discussion and I know I'm gonna blow. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'm with you 011. I need to have things out in the open and resolved quickly, otherwise I get terrible anxiety over it. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I think most people will agree with that.... Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'll always 'argue' the matter through to its logical end - no aggression. (Much to the annoyance of some individuals.) Believe in the old saying: 'Never let the sun go down on an argument' Link to post Share on other sites
