If you answer the question without thinking: “how do personal boundaries affect the presence or absence of conflicts in a person’s life, as well as the ability to live through them?”, most will first say that a person with boundaries prefers to live without conflicts, but this is not at all the case. For many, conflict – a word with a negative connotation. But in fact, conflicts are a way of interacting with the outside world and other people. In addition, without conflicts there would be no progress, since it is in the process of dispute that new ideas are born and the world around changes. Just the same, a person with well-established personal boundaries does not avoid conflicts. On the contrary, he strives to defend his views and interests, and this inevitably leads to a clash with the interests and views of other people. Another thing is that a person with well-built personal boundaries participates only in constructive conflicts. That is, in such conflicts where his opinion is listened to, where they do not resort to shouting, swearing, or insults. It must be noted that the constant suppression of emotions and avoidance of conflicts actually cannot last forever either. When choosing such a line of behavior, a person drives himself into a corner, where at one point all unresolved conflicts combined will fall on him and, as you can guess, little will appear. If you have a preconception about the need for conflicts, I advise you to adhere to the following simple rules. First, give free rein to your feelings. There is no need to suppress them. If you report discomfort right away, you will be able to do it in a moderate and environmentally friendly manner. If discomfort accumulates, it will still break through, but most likely rudely and inappropriately. Secondly, if you are not satisfied with something, speak about it right away. There is no point in waiting until a heap of discontent accumulates. And even more so, you shouldn’t count on those around you to guess what you’re thinking about. And thirdly, start getting used to the fact that conflicts are the norm, including the norm in your personal life. The most important thing is to carefully analyze why you are entering into conflict and not allow conflict for the sake of conflict..
