Like they say Swedes avoid conflict, but this is not true. That implies a culture of people pleasing. They stir up so much shit, it’s carbonated. They avoid the *consequences* of conflict.

Haha this is so true! Am I taking it too far if I say?: They (we) don't *take* the conflict that we stir up, don't ride the storm, don't (necessarily) owe up to it.

I mean I waded in in part because at least I could tell this little BRF gauleiter off and blow off steam from not being able to tell off my head of school for disinviting me from a meeting about disbanding our department. As I cried in the airport, I was like, HOW AM I THE SHIT STIRRER HERE?
