Post 2!

There are definitely times where I don’t care to take the time to work out a conflict with people. Not because I don’t want to, because I don’t know how to bring about what I want to say without hurting someone’s feelings so I feel it’s easier for me to not say a word and just ignore it. And then there are times where I honestly just don’t care what the person has to say. And that’s when I should have this book handy. In some conflicts I have been in, I definitely never thought about stages or processes or anything of the sort. But then there are times, mostly with loved ones, where I sit down and truly list and think about what is bugging me and why it is bugging me. Then I think about how I am going to tell the person. And ways we can work on it together. I like to keep as calm as possible and tell the person what’s bugging me then sit back and listen to what they have to say. Usually that works very well. One thing I cant stand though is when people interject each other then they are talking and that’s when the raising of voices start and all that nonsense. At that point I completely lose it and walk out. I will never sit there with somebody who is acting a fool when I’m simply trying to have a conversation with them.
