When you find yourself in a conflict with a close person, how do you react?

  • I try to understand his/her perspective first and then respond.
  • I will express what I feel, but I don't like to argue.
  • I tend to withdraw and think about it for a while.
  • I speak openly, even if it means an uncomfortable conversation.
  • It depends on the situation; sometimes I back down, while other times I stand my ground.
