Running away from conflict is more than avoiding the tension, the disagreement, the risk of losing the relationship. It is fleeing from it altogether – not acknowledging its existence and ignoring its impact. In some cases, running away from our interpersonal conflicts is important for our well-being. Other times it is more important to be well within ourselves and in relation to the other person by staying and facing the dissension and together finding a way through.
How will running away from a conflict you are in or anticipating positively or negatively affect your well-being?
