Consensual

I would definitely consider myself to have a consensual writing style as I prefer to argue in a rather passive or non-aggressive way. Just as my mother would, I tend to avoid confrontation, be both logical and emotional in an argument, and strive for a compromise or negotiation at the end of one. I cannot envision myself becoming a lawyer or politician, seeing as there is nothing worse than a fight.

Whether I was born with an innate sense of passivity, learned the trait from my mother, or simply rebelled from the adversarial nature of my father, I have always cowered from disagreement. For example, when I was six years old my father and mother were having an argument over a subject of which I cannot recall, however their tone and aggressive nature I will never forget. This argument was so upsetting that I opened the door of the vehicle and told them I was going to walk home. After hopping out of the car, luckily at a very slow speed, I proceeded to cross my arms in front of my body and march alongside of a vacant highway in Waco, Texas. Only after they insisted they would stop arguing, I climbed reluctantly back into the car and was then a passenger of the quietest car in Texas.
