We fear confrontation until it matters enough. If your drunk friend reaches for car keys, you grab them without hesitation. That instinct shows confrontation isn't the problem. Caring about the outcome is what makes you act.
Do we fear confrontation as human beings? Yes or no? Yes. We do, unless we believe the confrontation is worth it. Now, what do I mean by that? Your friend is with you, they've driven you to a high school party. At the party, the friend who drove you there got drunk. While drunk, now the person towards the end of the party wants to drive home, and they're about to drive, drive you and others home. Do you try to get the keys away from this person? Yes or no? Yes. Of course you do. Is this a form of confrontation? Yes. And you have no problem with it because you believe the confrontation is worth it. When we believe it's worth it, we do what it takes.
