I take it on and make a commitment to defuse it at an early stage in the future.


face it head on


I try to avoid it - and if I have to face conflict... I try my best to get through it.


I face it but there are some situations where I think before I act on saying anything to avoid a fight.


Head on.


evade! evade! evade!


A little but of both. Head on until it's too much then start avoiding it


avoid when possible, but deal when I have to


Depends on who the conflict is with.. I used to shut down and pretend it would go away, but I learned only I have my voice, and only I can stand up for myself. I tend to face conflict more now then I used to.. however I still avoid it as much as possible by not letting anything get to that point.


Face it head on.


I tend to avoid it


I always face it, but some situation i should aviod and stay for my partner..we must learn together to understand and agree each other


Avoid? I don't know if avoid is the right word. Maybe it is. I hate conflict, so if anything's bothering me or eating me up, I just kind of get very passive aggressive about the whole thing. It's something I'm trying to work on.
Then you sing about it.

Facing it head on has been the way I've learned gets better results in the end.


I dunno. Both
