Ever considered the reason that certain people conflict? There is someone that I know, that I absolutely cannot stand. For me that is a rarity, I promise. I get along with 99% of the people that I meet, even if they have faults. But this person, I cannot look passed their issues. I don’t say it arrogantly, only frustratingly. It is so annoying to me, because honestly, I want to like them. Don’t worry though; it won’t be anyone that reads this blog, so you’re safe. But it’s another one of those eternal struggles. I want to do my best to, not necessarily be a friend to this girl, but at least an acquaintance. Generally the people I see everyday I can deal with, but I’m having issues. And the bad thing about it is, that I’m forced to be a rude person to them. I mean generally I may be sarcastic/humorous, but I find myself saying very offensive things to this person. And here’s the conflict: The reason I do it is because I know it bothers her. It angers me so much that she gets offended, I must continue. 

So that raises the question: What makes us do things like this? What causes personality conflict? Normally I would say that two people that are very similar would conflict, but I am nothing like this person. Freud would probably say that we are so alike that I can’t see it, but I would have to disagree. One thing that puzzles me is how we can all be unique. That has always amazed me about the human mind. Although so uniform and alike, we still possess the ability to be different. So back to the topic, why do we conflict? That’s a very good question indeed. I definitely don’t have the answer, only theories, and I’m still not dead-on with those I’m sure.
