What will you do? let’s say, both of you got stuck in an elevator for 1 hour due to an emergency, will you be the one to choose the higher road first and set your differences aside or will you stand firm on your opinions about the other person and will not talk until you guys get rescued?

| I am not the type of person who will initiate much more if the person who are stuck with me is a person I really hate. I will stand and firm to my decision to ignore him or her, however, if they initiate the talk I will talk to him or her just to break the ice. I will not share anything about me during the process of waiting, I will just listen to what him or her say. Mostly I will nod and smile at him or her for sure. Maybe I am full of pride but that is only with the people I hate. My time and effort are for the things and for the people that treat me good. If I hate a person, it means they had done something wrong with me that leads me in danger and it means that what had happened before is really fresh in my brain that is why I never talk to them nor look at them. They are just a ghost, we cannot see them, but we can feel them, lol. | |

But actually, if I will be stuck in that situation I will initiate the talk even if I hate the person I got stuck with. I am the type of person who is willing to set aside differences and misunderstanding just for the sake of helping or as simple as passing the time. But like you , I will also not share anything about me that may let the other person think Im letting down my guard.

| I might talk sis, but let them be the first one to initiate the talk. If they do not talk, I will not talk. I did it before. Talking about the “full pride”in here. I don’t care. I might forgive a person on what they did for me but I cannot forget what they had done. I am not sure if my attitude is good or what is best for me, better not be like me hahaha. | |
| Anonymous Topics: 48 Replies: 145 Rank: Newbie | that’s perfectly fine. I still salute you. I used to be that way as well. But I realized it will just cause more conflict for me. I guess, Im not that firm enough. I always think of what people will say behind my back although at times it does not affect me as much but it still does and that’s my problem. I hope like many of my negative traits, I’ll outgrow this one as well. |
| I would have to say that I would probably not be the first person to talk. I do not like confrontation and I am usually not the person who initiates conversation with another person regardless of whether I do not like them or not. I am quite shy when I am in social situations and have low self esteem. I will talk to someone if they talk to me, but I do not ever know what to start the conversation with. I have tried to get over this, but I guess this is just how I am. It would also depend on why I do not like this person and what it was that they did to me to make me feel this way about them. Some reasons are beyond the point of being able to be civil to someone even though you would be in close contact with them for a length of time. | |
| would like to ignore that person and leave from there if possible | |
| I have never really “hated” anyone in my life. I once read a quote. ” Don’t give people who annoy you, rent free space in your mind” and i believe in it. If people are nasty, jealous, rude etc, I think they are less fortunate than me because these emotions are a heavy burden on a person’s soul and heart and how much happiness are they missing by being so negative. So i will probably not think about the past and try to pass the time to the best of my ability. But I will be very scared of being stuck in an elevator. !!!! | |
| Actually it would depend on my mood. I might just be civil to that person…treat them like a stranger. That’s in my “nice” mood. Otherwise, I would go to the opposite corner from them and ignore them. | |
| This is a really interesting question. Honestly, I’m the type that would likely take advantage of the situation as long as nobody was hurt, and there was no need to be working on a survival plan. I don’t generally carry a quiet grudge. I like to let the person know exactly how I feel and why. If I had an hour of their undivided attention, you bet, I’d use the time! | |
| Hmm.. For me i think it’s depends on how much s/he didn’t like me. I’m not really type of person who hold grudge towards others simply because i don’t think its worth to spare my precious time to hate them lol However, if the case is like you’re illustrated which is stucked on the elevator for one hour. I think i don’t bother to start talk with them 1st – in case somethings wrong and both of us need to work together to safe ourselves. | |
| Okay first of all it depends on where you stand with this person. if you were friends and you fell apart because of some differences and parted ways that’s different, i will be quiet and not talk until we get rescued. On the the hand if it was just someone that i know and i don’t like, the situation is different. this person has done me no wrong so i don’t have any reason not to talk to them, the only reason is because i don’t like them i don’t think that’s reason enough to not talk to someone, i will start up a conversation and from there you never know, you could probably be the best of friends afterwards. situations have a way of bringing people together. | |
| Yes ineed that would be a good place to start especially for those people who do you wrong and decide to take a back seat and not say anything. being stuck in that place especially an elevator would be the perfect opportunity, to rant and tell them how hurt you were with what they did. hahahaha good thought | |
| There are persons we do not like, but as we get along with that person, all we can say to ourselves is we are wrong to judge. There are people who are very problematic and busy that they almost forget about their stand , where they stand and what they are doing.We may think they look at us only to k ow they are looking to nothing else. I never judge a person as bad for a reason that he has done something against our will. |
