The problem with dilemma

When was the last time you found your plans for yourself in direct confrontation with the plans your family and friends have for you. How did u react?

I can think of 2 reactions:

You give up. Family and friends come first. I'm not selfish.

You stick to your stand. They will understand. After all, what are friends and family there for.

Ofcourse, I'm ruling out the well said but difficult to follow route of compromise of both sides.

Which one you choose depends on what kind of person you are and also the type of confrontation.

Say, it is about choosing between a official tour that can go without you and a family reunion. The choice you make here, whichever it is, is inconsequential.

Now say, if it is about a career choice, What will be your choice??
