How it's used
Focuses on the psychological act of acknowledging a difficult situation or person rather than just physically standing in front of something. It carries a sense of gravity, often implying that the subject has been trying to avoid the issue until now. Use it when encouraging someone to stop procrastinating or ignoring reality.
Examples
You cannot run away forever, you must face him.
How are you going to face such a big challenge?

Common mistake
Avoid using it for physical orientation, such as facing a window or a door, where the verb 對住 is much more natural.
