Conflict and me
Posted by Alli on August 16, 2007
Conflict is not something I cherish. I usually smell conflict coming and try to hide or run away. I change the subject, I go to the bathroom, I bury my nose in my laptop… I get really quiet.
I know that this behavior is not healthy, and sometimes I have to face the conflict in order to stand up for myself. And right now, I am in the middle of conflict where I have to do exactly that.
Standing up for myself though, usually takes some thought because I feel like I need to be able to present my case, have arguments that are logical and able to withstand heavy questioning. And that is usually where I fall flat- I often think my arguments will collapse when the first word against them is uttered.
Writing this post is actually keeping me from moving forward and facing my foe. I guess I need to move on…
