Re: How do you handle conflict?

I resolve conflct by sticking my fingers in my ears and screaming at the top of my lungs until the other party relents.

Works like a charm.

Seriously though WB, good for you in trying a paradigm shift. Arty is right, this place is too good of to let it get under your skin.

Thanks Surfermom...I appreciate that.....

I might also try sticking my fingers in my ears and screaming at the top of my lungs until the other party relents.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Just a bit more advice here for what it's worth.

Don't set yourself unsustainable goals, we are who we are.. if you are naturally a sensitive person accept that. None of us can just develop a thick skin or change overnight that's why I step back or I just stay quiet. It's not easy this online malarkey.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Thanks WB, very nice words, I also learnt some things from you. None of us have all the answers, we are all learning all the time and we can all learn from each other, even if it's where, to put a full. stop or, a comma, .

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Summer, I have learned through this thread, that is always a good idea to accept advice....so thanks for this....

You are right about that....it is not easy this online malarkey, haha....it can get damn hard sometimes, and being sensitive makes it all the harder, so I am going to do as you say, step back when I am at the boiling point, and put it on simmer for a while til I cool off....there is always "Netflix"

Puddle, keep shining for Jesus. I find comfort in your warm glow. Thank you for being my friend.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

I don't handle conflict well
I try to keep emotion out if it but
I take things to heart and
It makes me feel sick
I avoid it at all costs

However I won't be walked over either
If I think I need to speak out then I will say something...
eventually!

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Sometimes it's a good idea to take some time out before replying to someone who has upset you. It gives you more time to come up with something really nasty.

(I'm joking honest).
