Most of us aren’t keen on conflict. True, there are people that relish it, or are energised by it, but most of us don’t seek it out. But for some people, it’s the worst thing ever. They will go to the ends of the earth to avoid conflict. Why is this and what can you do about it?
How can we deal with a fear of rejection so that it doesn’t paralyse us or cause us to make choices that keep us feeling temporarily safe but aren’t in our long-term best interests?
For us givers and caring folk, this seems counter intuitive, if not rather selfish. How can putting yourself first actually improve your relationship?
Sometimes it seems hard to know what we really think and feel. Is this relationship really good for me? Am I hurt by what he said? Do I want to go on another date with her?
What we need to do is tune into our inner voice, that little voice of truth, so that we can be confident in our choices and decisions. Easier said than done, right?
