I...am a bit of a moron. "Preposterous!" you might say, wondering how such a derogatory term could be applied to a fellow as slick and charming as I. But I insist, it's true! I do tend to stick my foot in my mouth. I have no idea why, but for some reason I just seem to rub people the wrong way. Whatever the reason, I do take great pride in being able to extract myself from sticky situations with grace and dignity. But I'm curious about you. How are you at resolving conflict? What kind of tactics do you employ?

To tell you the truth I do not do well with conflict, I usually go out of my way to avoid. I guess I am kind of a coward in that way, but I just don't like getting into them.

That's probably the wisest course of action, actually.

Utilize logic, reason, and compassion to over come situations calmly and in the hopes of leaving with more knowledge than I had before the conflict began. Not that it always works...

I try to avoid them at all costs. When I do get into them, I look for all possible routes to solve it and/or escape it.

Or I freeze up and take the brunt of it because I'm usually the least self-aware.

Fine I suppose. I'm a very logical person so if I have to talk something out with someone, I just look past the rash emotional response and take a moment to think and consider.

People tend not to like me because I voice my opinions without holding anything back.

And not entirely caring who or what it offends. I admit, I don't intend to offend anyone, but if someone asks me, "What's your opinion on ?" then I'm going to give you my answer without sweetening it for someone else's pallet.

I also tend to do things my own way, even if there's a more efficient way. I'm just stubborn like that...

I try to avoid conflict. If conflict is unavoidable I try to use logic instead of emotion.

The number one thing I want to avoid is becoming Ari Gold during a conflict.

If I see an easy solution, by god, I'll go out of my way to make sure the nicest parties come off best. But if I see a shitstorm coming, I pull out faster than *crude sexual pun*.

Yeah, but it didn't get anything done. I guess that that movies was made for entertainment and not something that should be brought into real life...

I'm OK at resolving conflict, I like to appeal to people's emotions.
It makes up for the fact that I rarely ever say I'm sorry.

I avoid conflict if possible. It it is unavoidable, I weigh my options and make a plan of action before commiting myself.
Just in in war, you need to be prepared for any possiblilities no matter how unlikely they are. Know what you are getting into and don't commit yourself too early or too late. You don't want to get caught in a bad situation and you don't want to miss an oppurtunity.

I usually end up starting conflicts... then I continue on.

I've long since surrendered to the fact that I'll be beaten to death when I mouth off to the wrong guy or girl. Hopefully I'll manage to squeeze out; "Y-you're... still... a *****." But I doubt my jaw will appreciate that kind of motion at the time.

I can usually avoid conflicts with hardly any conscience so I very rarely have them. But if I do have them then I try to keep and open mind when they raise their point.
