I do regret not getting along with my friends and family, because I want them to be happy and to live a good life, and arguing with them will make their life harder. I would talk to people about what happened, how the conflict arose and how we could avoid a further argument and confrontation. I also like pleasing the person, so I would make sure that they are happy as well. Conflict resolution skills are basically just speaking up for myself when I have an issue, and letting people know when I am hurt by them so that I do not get hurt and so that I do not hurt others as well.
I think that anyone that I've removed from my life I removed for my own good. I try not to live with regrets as I know I made the best possible choice I could for me at the time. Therefore, I don't think I would consider reconciling with these people as they were toxic in the first place.
I really regret not getting along with my sister. I think part of it is because we are so close in age that we argue a lot, but we really never agree on anything. A way to fix this could be to talk it out, and my skills for resolving conflict is to usually ignore her, since I am the younger sibling so I can never win an argument anyways.
I have never not gotten along with a family member but with friends, if for some reason i'm not friends with them, there is a good reason behind it. I have no issues with someone if they have not done something to me or my friends and family. I have no desire to reconcile with someone if they want to hurt the people I am close to. if i had to, i would have respect for them, but I would not want a relationship with them.
I try to not have any conflict with anyone, but I do have one, I try to work it out by communicating. I try my hardest to work things out, but if they are not trying hard too, it probably will not succeed. I think overall communication and expressing what you are feeling are the best way to solve a problem.
