It depends on the type of conflict, really. I’m a pretty straight-forward person and like it when people honestly tell me whats going on or if something between us isn’t right. So I usually face conflict directly because I think its the easiest way to air everything out and be honest.
There are a few situations, however, that I do not always confront directly. Sometimes if its with someone I just met or don’t see very often, I’m either still too shy or can’t find the perfect time to bring it up. Then I might avoid it or try to get over it. That usually don’t work out so well, but sometimes if I put it off, I will calm down and it won’t be such a big deal anymore.

A nice post and a brilliant cartoon that depicts the prompt. Yeah, indeed the conflict handling depends on the conflict itself! 🙂

Thanks for your comment!
First….Thank you for posting the Polka Dot Flea on your side bar…Are you a local? Will you be coming to the flea? Oh conflict, it so depends….the older I get the more likely I am to let it roll off, if I am going to confront it usually it is right on the spot and then it does not get blown up!
You’re welcome! I like to help other businesses when I can 🙂 I am not a local, unfortunately, because I would love to come!
Ha, I try to bring it up as soon as possible too, sometimes though, I cannot always do that. I used to be very confrontational, but I am learning (as I get older as well), that there’s no reason to get so hung up on things all the time. People need to just relax and take things as they come…or not!
