At one point or another, everybody has some sort of conflict in their life. This could be internal conflict where there is a discrepancy between our needs and our desires or between our goals and our fears.
Another of life's paradoxes...so simple but can be so hard, especially the ones that have made me grow up the most. I've recently started a self compassion journey that has involved a conflict between wanting certain kinds of friends and me being that certain kind of friend in return. The exercises have been kicking my emotional butt. I love how you broke it down. I honestly hadn't even thought about it as conflict resolution. Hmmmmm?
Another suggestion you didn't mention in THIS post, but something you posted earlier and which has been at the forefront of my mind like a neon sign: live life with a commitment to "do no harm". This is an especially helpful way to deal with conflicts.... maybe not experiencing life's conflicts as something we have to DEAL with is a good start, too.
