How comfortable are you with confrontation?

So how long does it take before you confront something or someone if ever you do?

Do you ever find yourself in situations where you are patiently waiting for an answer but it gets dragged on for months…like medical results, whether you are accepted at a job or university, or waiting on a person?

If so, do you back off and wait OR do you start getting frustrated, blow up their phones for answers and become more confrontational?
