"A safe and respectful place to share your thoughts with no judgement". T. Croom, MS, GCDF
I usually handle conflicts well; however, I am not always perfect if my emotions run high. I think about what I will say and how my wording can affect the outcome of the conflict. I actively listen to the other person and wait until they are finished before I respond. If I see the conflict is going nowhere, I suggest we agree to disagree. As long as we both feel heard and understand where the other person is coming from, it's okay to have differing opinions.
ReplyDeleteI have two ways to handle conflict, I will either back off and take time to think or I will answer in the heat of the moment. However, I am actively working on doing the first more. I have learned that when you speak when you are upset the words that we usually say can bring more harm .
ReplyDeleteI've never was the type to ever get into fist fights, but I have been involved in some screaming matches and I'm glad I have grown from that and can be mad but not show it, I will simply talk about it or take a couple deep breaths and walk away before I say something I will later regret.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I had a real bad temper and found myself in a lot of fights. I had a short fuse and was ready to snap anytime I felt threaten. Until an SRO from middle school had a talk with me and made me realize I need to channel my anger into something positive. Thats how I ended up getting into sports. Now a days I'm cool as a cucumber because I know everything, I have worked for up to this point is not worth my career. I have learned how to deescalate situations and avoid putting myself in bad situations,
ReplyDeleteThe way that I handled conflict depends on the situation. Sometimes I can just not care, sometimes I can be very emotional and strong about my feelings but I am always at opposite ends, never in the middle. If it is a situation that I am emotionally exhausted with I just mentally check out. I don't entertain the conversation, I don't want to talk about it, I just don't care. On the opposite side, if it is something I care about, I will have to speak my side and DON'T interrupt me at all, DON'T try to talk over me because then all I see is red. It's definitely something I need to work on and I have been trying to work on it, but we all have growing that we need to do and I am still growing.
ReplyDeleteI tend to handle conflicting situations with an understanding that we all have misunderstandings and what not. I do my best to get the situation clarified and see where the err was between me and whoever it is. There are times where if I'm passionate about what the issue is, I may be more voiced than other situations. I still try to maintain a non-threatening demeanor.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I handle conflict very well. I often find a way to blame myself and I am the nonconfrontational type, so I keep everything inside and just hope with time that everything solves itself.
