Hit it head on like a missile. Took recovery to do this!
I face it, it may not be head on but I force my self to deal with conflict. It usually only gets worse the majority of time the longer it goes unresolved.
Avoid
I face it head on. He avoids it and then pretends it never happened so it never really gets resolved
I stew about it for days, avoid as long as I can possibly stand it
I generally try to avoid it. I also realize that some conflicts can't be avoided and should be addressed. Luckily, so far, we haven't had any yet.
I like to face it head on, that way we can talk about it and figure out a solution instead of having the same thing come up over and over again and never get resolved.
I try to avoid it, but when things are on my mind, it isn't safe to keep it in, so I share in an effort to fix things, but of course it starts a conflict...
Head on!
It depends on the conflict.
I face it head on majority of the time if I can. There are some situations that should be avoided though.
In relationships, face it head on because it has to be resolved to move on.. Anything else, avoid it
depends on what the conflict is. sometimes i'm a huge pussy and i either run from it or get really passive aggressive. other times i'm 110% willing to hit it in the face. i should work at being more like the latter and less like the former...
I avoid conflict anytime I can because it usually ends up causing even more conflict for me it seems.
I'm an avoider my nature. And have been working on addressing conflict that is important.
