Conflict Management

um...today we were talking about conflict management in 387, it's sth I really have to learn about. I was "diagnosed" as the Conflict Avoider, I knew I was especially about the situation with my roomate. I thought I was being considerate to let people do whatever they want even that bothers me, like her finace stays ALL THE TIME (Maybe somehow he does more than I do) It was so hard for me to confront my roomate becoz I have to stay with her everyday in this tiny little apt, so I'm afraid that the confrontation would break the harmony between us.

Anyway, I deal with conflict differently when I'm at home and school tho, I really believed that I need to stand firm for what I want and provide rationales to support so that people would accpet more about my ideas!! just like I persuaded my groupmates about the idea of selling crepes for our facility!! yeah!! Thanks for the inspiration from Rudy Giuliani (I read his book "Leadership")
