How do you React...

when people are in an all-out screaming match in your presence??? Doesn't matter where .. could be work, social setting .. whatever.

This makes me very uncomfortable, tense and anxious ... but I know some people enjoy watching this kind of thing.

I usually leave the area since I would be uncomfortable listening to them.

Although, one time I told my friends to take it outside. We were at a wedding and my friend & her DH were arguing right in front of me and I asked them to argue somewhere else, this is a wedding and I don't want to hear it.

I freak out

that's the question I ask myself... 'should I stay or should I go?'.. LOL

I tend to listen for a few seconds or a minute.. then I'm outta there.

I leave. It makes me very uncomfortable

It really depends on the situation..If it is someone i know i will try to
intervene.
If it is strangers...hell I WATCH

I feel the same way and try to leave the area. I used to work for my sister and brother-in-law and they had the biggest fights, in front of whoever was there. I also felt embarrassed for them as well.

depends.

If it's people I care for I try to be a voice of reason.

If it's someone who may end up dragging me into it, I leave quickly.

If it's about something that makes me want to join in and argue I leave quickly.

If it's no one I give a damn about I just ignore them. Some folks get all out in yelling matches as long as it's not personal and doesnt get mean and I don't care about the people then pretty much I could care less. It's when they bother me that it gets annoying. 'Take it outside'

I get nervous and leave as soon as I possibly can. Then again, I get nervous when people argue on these boards, too! I'm a wuss.
