Mostly a’s: Seeing bad behaviour exasperates you and you’d sooner face it head on. But be careful - in some situations, taking a risk could end up making things worse!
Mostly b’s: You do get imitated by bad behaviour, but you’d rather avoid starting an argument. Why not try being more assertive sometimes, though?
Mostly c’s: You usually feel you’d better not get involved. However, ignoring bad behaviour can make life more difficult for you.
