Kelly: Ugh! Chris totally bitched at me for not doing his work for him and told me how lucky I should feel that he is actually my friend.
Paco: Chris? Really? But, he's so quiet! I can't imagine him saying something like that.
Kelly: Yeah, well, his true colors come out when he's in IM. Sometimes, I even have to use "Invisible" status to hide, because he's SO conFONTational!
Confrontation is an element of conflict wherein parties confront one another, directly engaging one another in the course of a dispute between them. A confrontation can be at any scale, between any number of people, between entire nations or cultures, or between living things other than humans. Metaphorically, a clash of forces of nature, or between one person and his own causes of internal turmoil, might be described as a confrontation.
