Conflict Management Styles
Conflict within most close interpersonal relationships are nearly unavoidable especially if you try to make decisions with this person. This is why learning how to deal with situations like these is so important. In order to do this someone must reflect upon their own conflict management style as well as the conflict management style of the person they and trying to establish a stronger relationship and communicate with. To better explain this I will use a conflict that I am going through with a certain individual in my life as an example. This will display the current conflict within my chosen relationship and a brief plan to solve our current conflict using collaboration.

Since, I am typically always able to text I would tell either “Yes” or “No” and how long it should be till I am able to talk to
