Today in our small group session the discussion topic was interpersonal conflict, what happened, and how we resolved the problem. This can be a very serious topic, as examples can be very personal. I really felt like a lot of things hit home today, and I hope to be able to incorporate the items discussed into every day life. Some examples of interpersonal conflict/ general conflict included:
First of all, we will all experience conflict throughout our lives, and it will present itself unannounced. With this, important to realize that everyone is struggling with their own stresses and conflicts. With that said, I will continue to take things at face value, and be kind to others despite conflict, because at the end of the day, you truly never know what someone else is going through. Second important think I have come to learn is that its important to be direct and upfront with everyone; about how you feel, what you want and how you think something can change. Lastly, timing of conflict or stressful life events are not predictable. There is never going to be a good time for things to go wrong. With these realizations, I hope to approach all conflict and conflicting events with a positive attitude, an outside perspective on the situation, and the ability to communicate my feelings effectively and honestly.
