Conflict is something that everyone relates to. Regardless of your age, race, or orientation. That’s one thing everyone has in common that we all go through conflicts and discrepancies. I think that if more people worked on their nonverbal conflict skills then they could easily have a civil talk about what they are upset about. I think if more people just “talked” with the person they have a conflict about, their situation wouldn’t get to a nasty point. And I put talked in quotes because people need to honestly start simply speaking to one another instead of coming into a room hell blazing screaming at somebody. That’s when I start laughing. When people are so mad that they are screaming at you and you don’t even know why yet. Cracks me up every time. Whenever something is bugging me I just simply talk to the person. I’m not running in the room ready to hurt someone with my words. I guess with some people though I simply just avoid the conflict because I know they will make it into something way bigger then it ever was or will be so I totally pull the confrontation avoidance card. I just block what they are doing that bugs completely out of my head, which probably isn’t the best thing but oh well.
Saddle up,
ReplyDeleteI believe that conflict will simply never be avoided no matter how we try to. I agree with about talking it out with the person you have a problem instead of raising hell right away. I believe that is a situation on how some people handle things until they a similar situation happening and realize;"damn do I look like that when I get into a conflict." That's how I knew I had to stop and try a different approach regarding conflict. Now I do the approach you suggested pulling the person aside and talking the situation out; if it gets solved I move on, if it doesn't I move on also and give the person time and space until they feel comfortable talking again. Great post keep up the great work.
