Why does being confrontational feel only negative to you? Sarcasm can hide a fear, its good to be just as we are in any given minute so it can be looked at and understood, its no good pushing stuff away, therapy is the place to show how we respond sometimes because if it happens in therapy then it happens outside and wouldn't you prefer to respond in more positive ways? Think of it like this, "I am showing you how am in relationships when I feel scared or annoyed and you can help me understand why I am like this and change it".
