Internal & External Conflict
Struggle, struggle, struggle! We live in a time of conflict, external and internal. External conflict
is a struggle between man and an outside force. Internal conflict is a struggle between man and self.
Dealing with each conflict can be difficult, but there’s always a way to deal with it nonetheless. Dealing
with internal conflict can be more difficult because you’re dealing with your own emotions and it can
sometimes lead to depression. Don’t push away your thoughts if you are dealing with internal conflict.
Pushing away your thoughts would make the situation more intense. Think about ways you can
manage it instead of pushing the thoughts away. It can help if you write the conflict down or don’t let
your mind fight itself. Dealing with external conflict is sometimes more simple. Effective listening is a
way to deal with external conflict. It’s important to listen and understand the other person’s point of
view. Effective listening doesn’t always work out which is why communication is key. It’s important to
clearly communicate your own feelings without putting the other person on the defensive.
The conflicts I have dealt with in my life are mostly internal. I try my best to keep my problems
within myself so that the conflict I’m dealing with doesn’t become another person’s problem. I
wouldn’t want an internal conflict to become an external conflict, so I manage my problems myself.
Growing up, I’ve always found it difficult to choose between one choice and the other. My most
common line I’ve used is “It doesn’t matter”. I have always been scared of choosing one thing and
having it become the wrong choice. Even up to now, I still use that line. I know it’s going to
become a problem. Real soon, I would have to stop using that line and start making choices myself.
The choices I have to choose from could be as little as which flavor of ice cream I want to as big as
