  • I am trying to stay calm and allowing space for reflection before I express anything.
  • I feel that I need to stay flexible, but most of the time I resort to my opinion to avoid conflict.
  • I usually completely conform to the opinions of others to avoid tension.
  • I maintain balance by trying to listen while also expressing my own doubts.
  • I respond quickly, but I try to seek reasons why my opinion might be wrong.
