1. To be forced to handle, deal with, or confront something. My meditation practice definitely helps me whenever I'm faced with a stressful situation at work. Once he was faced with mounting pressure from activists, the mayor finally agreed to reverse the controversial policy. Please don't tell me we're faced with another problem now.

2. To be shown direct evidence of something. Even after being faced with incontrovertible evidence of his involvement, Tom still wouldn't accept responsibility for any of it. When I looked through her phone, I was faced with proof that the affair had been going on for months. Do you think the headmaster will expel me once he's faced with video of me cheating on the exam?
