Avoiding conflict

True... In real world, this "avoiding conflict" philosophy just ends up creating conflict within yourself.

Matthias James Barker, LMHC on Instagram: "Constantly avoiding conflict doesn’t preserve the relationship; it prevents it from reaching its fullest potential. Whether it's the fear of being rejected, wanting to keep the peace, having unresolved issues from our past, or simply not knowing how to express ourselves... opting out of conflict might seem like the easier and safer option in the moment. But the thing is, consistently evading conflict is hindering our relationships more than helping…

If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you stay a war inside yourself.

Avoiding conflict might seem like the easy way out, but it often leaves important issues unresolved. Embracing open and honest communication is key to building stronger, more meaningful relationships 💬
