I'm very bad when it comes to trying to run from my problems. I try to ignore them in hopes they'll go away xD
I need to learn to face them better, it'll really help with my development too.

The clips are all loaded,
now what shall you do?

I'm kind of person who tries to face the problem. Trouble is my second name. I always got into trouble. But one way or other I got solution to get out of them. I always try to help people who try to ignore their trouble. If you don't face the problem and try to run from it, it's going to become more pain. Just face them and never back down.

Hm. You guys have pretty admirable views. Myself, I think I tend to avoid and work around many problems in my life rather than facing them head on. It's probably not good that my approach has worked okay so far; when problems finally strike full on, they might be worse than if I had tackled them initially :/

"Face the Problem, Don't Facebook It"

So I always go into trouble and have to fix it. You can ignore or avoid it but the problem will soon grows bigger and bigger, then one day it happens a chaos and you will regret .

Depends what it is I guess. There's a lot of things I still don't deal with today, but I think that's all part of growing up. You mature and you realize what seemed like a big problem at one point in your life isn't actually such a big deal. Or maybe one time you let something go to far, and things got a little out of control. When you pull yourself out of the rut, if nothing else, you can at least look back and say, "Boy, I'm sure not gonna do that again!", and maybe learn to make some wiser decisions in the future.

Personally I think I'm pretty average when it comes to facing my problems. Something I've learned throughout my years is when it comes to people, I actively try to avoid letting things stew and dwelling on them. It's much easier to just say how you feel, and listen to how the other person is feeling. Communicate your thoughts, and don't leave it up to guessing or assuming, because chances are you're wrong, straight up.

I'm bad at facing my own problems and I tend to retreat into my shell. But with other people's problems I'm much more active and the gears in my head spin a bunch as I try to come up with solutions and plans and stuff.

if i have a problem i think about it in every way possible. I literally analyze it to death. in the end i often know what i need to do, but if it's something like a mental problem I've imposed on myself it's so much harder to get past. something like being shy has been hard for me to get over in every aspect, but i've made big strides

I'm generally more of a "face my problem and deal with it" kind of a person. There are times when I'll hide away or hold my tongue, but nine times out of ten if there's an issue I'll try to do something about it.

For me, it depends on the problem. I don't always face them. I'm usually terrified something will go wrong or not as planned. So, I feel it's safe to say that I don't face them at times. But again, it does depend on the actual problem at hand.

Depends on the problem really. If it has a clear cut solution, I will tend to face it instead of just avoiding it. If it's more complex and not worth my time, I'll stay away from it and avoid the unnecessary stress.
This is pretty much me right here.

If not solving the problem will cause a bigger problem in the future I try my hardest to find a solution. Future Me will be thankful.

Most problems I either ignore or just get on with...although I don't have as many problems as I used to, and those that I did were only problems if I allowed them to become so. I've found that a lot of issues can be easily avoided entirely just by keeping to a good daily routine and/or getting into good habits...and in the case of my studies, having good time management and organisational skills, which I mercifully had by the time I started University. If something new crops up now then I adapt to it, or find a way to work around it in my daily routine. Stress is a great motivational tool, even if it's never quite as easy to work through as you'd like it to be.

I'm...not good with emotional problems, though. At all. I just shut down for a while.

I've been just awful at personal problem solving for like, the last three years now. I mean, I suppose I have solved some things by volunteering and getting my first job. But there's still a lot of crap I just haven't dealt with for years now. I've been on break from college for nearly two years and I still have no idea what I should change my major to... I have to decide on something soon. I must... I simply must... I keep saying this, but my mildly apathetic attitude I've settled into and complete lack of any motivation has not been helping. (Excuses, excuses...)
