Face your fear and face the issue.

So many people would be better off if they learned how to have a difficult conversation in a way that gets better results, especially if you're dealing with a narcissist, an addict, someone at your church, a bad boss or a toxic person. So, what’s so hard about doing it? At their root, most confrontations are just an interaction between two different people, but difficult conversations do not have to be adversarial. They merely mean that two people are going to "face this issue together instead of putting their heads in the sand and ignoring it."
