When interpersonal conflict is difficult on us we may show we are beleaguered, hurt and let down in various ways. At some undefined point those who see or hear us might say we are wearing our conflict feelings on our sleeves. We may want sympathy, support for our perspective, and other signs that acknowledge the state we are in. Some observers comply and for others it gets old and achieves the opposite effect.
What do you expect from others when you wear your conflict feelings on your sleeve?
