When you have a conflict with someone—whether it’s a friend, roommate or family member—what do you do? Do you tend to ignore the problem or avoid the person? Do you confront the person right away? Do you look for compromise when there is a disagreement?
Most people think conflict is a negative thing, but healthy conflict can result in growth, learning and understanding. Everyone has a different way of approaching conflict, and there is no correct approach—each has its own benefits and drawbacks.
