Are they all correct?
1) I think you should face him.
2) I think you should face up to him.
3) You got to be stronger and face these problems!
4) You got to be stronger and face up to these problems!
I'm wondering whether these two verbs have the same meaning and whether I can use them interchangeably. Or, does "to face" mean to confront with something, and "to face up to" mean "to accept something and try to tackle it?
Thank you so much for the explanation.
