Conflict management
How do you deal with conflict? Are you the tackle it head-on sort of person, or do you avoid it? Tell us what your style is, and feel free to share an example.
Just today, while I was preparing to leave for church, my two younger siblings got into an argument, while I was trying to settle the argument to avoid them getting into a big fight or to the extent of them exchanging blows, I decided to settle the case but unfortunately, they wouldn't listen to me so I asked every one of them to leave the house as they were in my house and that action caused an argument between myself and my immediate younger brother.
Even when I was asked to let go of the issue, I refused to because when I begged them to settle the argument amicably to avoid fighting each other they refused which was the reason why ended up going to church late.
I was so pissed off with their attitude since they both decided not to listen to me, everyone was all going to have to face me with my anger.
I am a reserved person but when I am angry it's like a tornado taking place, that is why I don't love conflict but if I try to avoid it and the person refuses to see it from my angle then I am ready to face it head-on and will make sure you regret not listening to me when I wanted to avoid it.
I love my quiet space, a peaceful and quiet environment so any time, there is a conflict around me, I don't always feel comfortable around these places and always try as much as possible to dissolve the dispute or conflict but most times, I may not be that patient enough to want to settle the conflict especially if it is the same scenario like the one that happened today within my siblings.
If I am faced with conflict and feel that if I avoid it, it's going to settle it, then I would gladly avoid it but if I want to avoid it and the person is pushing too far, then I am sure ready to face it head-on and won't back down until I am sure we've aired out our heart.
