You "face" someone or something, and you are "faced with" by someone or something.
"I faced my reflection in the mirror." vs "I was faced with my reflection in the mirror."
- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
I would like to know the native speaker will say he faces a problem or he is faced with a problem more often?
- English (US)
I think both are used fairly often it just depends on what the author is trying to say. “Faced” is a bit more personal I think. Hope this helps!
