I tend to avoid conflict in all of my relationships. If conflict
arises, I usually shut down, because I feel uncomfortable. The book talks about one of the processes being
unchanging. And I would like to say that I am one to give people second
chances, and hope that they could change their life, especially if going down
the wrong path. The book also brings up an interesting point on page 21, about “failing
to see conflict as a process explains why some people are not interested in
learning how to manage it”. I think that a lot of people, including myself act
this way.
I can change my ways in multiple ways. I need to learn
that people can change. People tend to make mistakes, that is how you learn,
making mistakes could lead to conflict but that in-turn could lead to
resolutions that help relationships and help make people stronger. I also need
to learn how important communication is, not just on my end, but listening and
taking in others emotions, and/or opinions as part of my communication skill.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI would like to start off by letting you know I thought you made a very good and well thought out blog. I really liked how you clearly stated that you tend to avoid conflict inall of your relationships. I thought that was a very good way to start off your blog. I also liked how you stated that you do not like conflict and shutdown at times. I have seen many people who do the same thing and shut down when they are in a confrontation. I really liked how you stated that you can "change your ways in multiple ways." I think that is very good that you believe youcan change. Overall, I thought this was a great post and I enjoyed reading what you had to say.
