Throughout a college Group Dynamics class, I have analyzed that conflicts can be tricky at times. However, it is part of everyone's daily life. One might run away from conflict, where they do not want to even encounter the issue at hand. Others might hide it and not tell somebody that they have a problem with them. These two scenarios display how an individual might avoid the conflict altogether. Overall, avoidance is most likely not going to be the best option in most scenarios. Here's why.
1. The right time.
Nobody wants to bring up conflict. They might think that matters will get worse if one brings up the problem. In regards to when the right time it is to bring up an issue, I would only say that waiting to address the problem is most likely not the best option. I feel this way because it will be most likely one-sided in the argument if one chooses to wait this long to state the issues that they have with another.
2. Why run away from it?
If you keep it hidden for your personal pleasure, nobody can acknowledge the issue. Let me tell you that this is a major issue. Also, please do not use the excuse that you did not want to make things worse. People can change.
3. The outcome.
It is how it is one might say. However, the outcome can truly be positive; for one side at least. I can only state this from my side of the story because in the end there are just some people you would rather leave behind.
Although I used this to write about my own personal experience from this past week and a half, I hope this comes across your way and leads you to think twice to whether you should avoid conflict.
