For this post, describe in detail an interpersonal conflict situation, real or hypothetical. Describe the context of the conflict, the people involved, the main problem, and the possible causes. Try to identify the feelings and/or motivations of the people involved. Finally, while considering the main problem and your search for a solution, ask for feedback from your readers in the form of ONE question. Again, clarity and conciseness are important, as is completeness in your telling.
I would like to share a personal conflict situation that I was involved in last year. I had a friend whom I got along with initially. But, as I spent more time with him, he began to reveal the insensitive part of him, which I could not help but start to feel displeasure towards.
An aspect of him, which I deeply disapprove of, is that he has a tendency to invade the privacy of others even if they are his close friends. Personally, I feel that there is a limit to the things that can be shared among friends and out of respect for each other, one should not invade another’s privacy. Sadly, he does not share this view and even thinks that it is okay to do so and being friends they would not mind. There was a time when he blatantly scroll and look at our friend’s text messages. I feel that it is an act of betrayal of trust when friends kindly lend their phones to him, trusting him not to look through their private messages and photos. However, he did the exact opposite. When my friend (owner of the phone) knew about his actions, she was shocked and annoyed at his actions. Unable to tolerate such bahavior further and hoping that my friend would not to indulge in the same actions again, I attempted to have a talk with him. I tried to explain to him that his actions were disapproving to many, yet at the end of it, he was still persistent on his way of thinking and behavior. Thus, that made me disappointed and annoyed by the fact that friends care enough to tell him that he was doing the wrong thing yet he did not appreciate our kind thoughts. What could I have done differently to help him and show him that he was indeed wrong?
