That strength is being okay with confrontation.
I was pondering why confrontation is so scary to most people whereas I tend to thrive in scenarios where it transpires, either by taking charge during a crisis and reaping the respect for doing so or in situations where negotiating is required. In negotiations, I find it very easy to hold frame, reframe disadvantageous conversations, and usually come out on top due to wearing out my opponent with my disagreeableness.
I got to thinking on why that is, and I can only really attribute it to either being rebellious my whole life and desensitizing myself to the dissaproval of authority figures or my dsyfunctional household that consisted of daily fights.
I'd say that dsyfunctional household contributed to my not giving a shit rebellious nature, so this is probably the root cause.
It is crazy how valuable of a strength having this attribute is, but at the same time, was it worth the cost of a normal childhood? I don't know. I don't know what a normal childhood would be like. I can't even imagine it, so to me that would be abnormal.
It is crazy to sometimes re-realize how our childhoods shape us, and that we were either made stronger or weaker from them. And sometimes one can take lemons and make lemonade.
