Random Poll: Argumentative "behavior."

**TC_Halogen** · 05-7-2011, 12:04 PM

The reason why behavior is in quotes is because it's intentionally meant to be a vague question.

Also, I'm talking about behaviors in arguments, and not in something planned out or meant to be recreational arguing (or debating).

My question to you guys: when in the heat of an argument, do you find yourself more likely to take an aggressive stance and attack the receiving party for their faults or mistakes, or do you end up taking a defensive stance by defending yourself?

In many of the arguments that I've been in (mostly with my parents), we both seem to take a defensive stance -- neither of us really accuse each other of faults, but rather defend ourselves in hopes of proving ourselves correct (rather than proving the other person incorrect).
