4 Negative Conflict Responses & How You Can Keep Yourself Out of It

Many people fear conflict. Others thrive on it.
But chances are, conflict has caused a lot of anxiety and strife in our lives and the lives of those around us. Because conflict can often lead to such negative and destructive outcomes, we can often blame conflict itself for ruining our relationships, stability or lives.
But it's not conflict's fault. It's us.
The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them. - Thomas Crum
We are all so different. And those inherent differences will always lead to conflict. Compassion, empathy and understanding can help keep those conflicts from escalating to prejudice or violence.
We all want the same things in life; to feel safe, stable, connected and cared for.
But what that looks like and how we get there is where our paths diverge. And since we can't read each other's minds, we must communicate our needs and expectations without judging or criticizing someone who might be on the other side.
And here is where things can get tricky and go very, very wrong.
Most of us have responded poorly to conflict at some point in our lives, and we don't know why things blew up or broke down so quickly.
But how you respond to conflict is only half the story.
