Conflicts. Do we want them? Not really but we all have them. They are just everywhere. Teenagers often have conflicts with their parents about every little thing that’s going on. If you live with a roommate, the conflicts are the way they live. Messy and lazy roommates are never good things to have. Then you have conflicts at works, like your boss being the most ignorant human being in the world. Conflicts are just everything, and it can lead to violence. Domestic violence is a serious issue everywhere.
There are main five states of managing conflicts. Those are: competing, avoiding, accommodating, compromising, and collaborating.
Competing: You care more about yourself then the other person.
Avoiding: You care less about you or them. You just want to avoid the situation.
Accommodating: You care more about the other’s feelings then your own.
Compromising: You care equally about yourself and you do for the other person.
Collaborating: You care highly about yourself and the other’s that you invest more into the situation and the relationship.
Conflict is inevitable and it is not inherently negative.

The key to developing and maintain interpersonal relationship is to be able to effectively handle conflicts better, know what causes you to react negatively and what are usually yours or their reactions are.
